The Personal Touch

In the most basic sense, most companies use some type of Network Marketing to "get the word out" about the products. We just don't always recognize it. For example; every time a friend tells you to go to a new restaurant he tried last week, or to use a different brand of dish washer, the company is using an informal form of Network Marketing. Whether you like it or not, your personal relationship led to the sale of the product.

People use relationships for benefits. When people sense that you are sharing with them a particular product because you sincerely think that it will benefit them, they will buy it from you. People will feel that you are doing them a favor. Unlike the many other sales man, people will turn to you if you can recommend them a good product from the other mediocrities.
