Establish Relationships that Last in Your Online Marketing, Pick Up the Phone or Connect on Skype with Your Online Contacts
Are You Hiding Out?
Are you hiding behind your computer in your online marketing efforts? Taking online relationships offline will breathe life into your internet network marketing business. If you entered the online world to build your network marketing business with the hidden desire that you would have a business that goes on auto-pilot and you don't need to connect or communicate with people then I am afraid you are in for some real disappointment.
Are You Too Busy to Connect?
Or are you just so busy learning internet marketing for your network marketing business that you are not allowing time in your day to call people, connect with your distributors and do 3-way calls? The rubber meets the road in the our connections with others. If you want to create long term residual income in your network marketing business, create and maintain fabulous relationships.
Online Marketing is the Way You Reach Out Initially
Your online marketing is the net and the funnel that allow you to develop rapport with your readers and subscribers to your blog. It is a way of reaching out in the global market and attracting people to you who are looking for what you have to offer.
Picking Up the Phone or Connecting on Skype is the 2nd Phase of Your Marketing
The phone and Skype is the next stage of your marketing where you establish a deeper connection and develop relationships with your audience and followers. Take time each day to connect with 5 to 10 people in your pipeline.
Network Marketing Is A Relationship Building Business
Network Marketing is all about building relationships and mastering this starts with picking up the phone and connecting on Skype. Network Marketing is all about the relationships we create and then mentoring and teaching others to do the same. You are only initially looking for a few people for whom the light bulb comes on who have strong desire and take action on that desire then you link arms and assist them in creating success in their businesses.
How to Overcome the Fear of the Phone and Connecting with Your Prospects
Accountability Partners Are So Important
If fear is holding you back get an accountability partner and work with each other and touch base daily to check in that both of you are making calls, connecting and presenting your opportunity.
Create a Tracking Sheet and Be Specific in Your Daily Goals
Create a tracking sheet. Be specific in your goals. How many calls you make to new connections, and how many follow up calls? Share your tracking results with your accountability partner. This creates a huge accountability factor for both of you.
Get Involved with A Blogging Tribe
Being apart of a community/tribe will take not only your online game up dramatically it will also create more support and accountability in your business. You will be inspired by other bloggers in your niche and be less likely to lose site of your goals. Also, connect with other bloggers by phone and skype and again not only will this build your confidence it will help you practice the art of connection. Who knows it may lead to some future Joint Venture opportunities and new business connections.
I highly recommend Empowered Tribes. This community is responsible for my huge strides in my online marketing over the last several months. The community rocks and it will take your blogging and online marketing to a whole new level. Check it out for yourself at Empowered Tribes.
Addressing the Subconscious Blocks That May Be Holding You Back
There are a number of modalities that can help you breakthrough any subconscious blocks. I recommend working with a good hypnotherapist or someone that does energy clearing. Within our blogging community/tribe is a fabulous energy worker who is getting rave reviews and her name is Sandhan. I am going to set up a session with her myself. It is an ongoing journey to release programs that hold us back and clearing them is the best way to be free.
Another tools I have found extremely effective is EFT. Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a form of energy acupuncture that clears away limiting programs which you can do on yourself. It is not the scope of this post to get into a complete explanation of EFT however you can find out more here.
Reserve Working on Your Online Marketing When Your Prospects Are Sleeping
Be sure to reserve your connection time for making calls. During the day and early evening is the best time to connect with your readers and subscribers to your blog. You will be so pleased by simply connecting on a daily basis how your business will transform and the success you will see from your efforts.

Hi Faith,
I must agree with you here. Talking to someone on a personal level via the phone or Skype takes the relationships you’re working at building online to a deeper level. Awhile back a challenge that seemed to crop up was the fact that some people are international and trying to talk on the phone can be a little more difficult. Once I discovered Skype I found it was so much easier to talk to people, especially those in other parts of the world.
It won’t be long before video conferencing with your prospect, having a 3 way call or talking to your team will take this to an even higher level of connection.

Hi Don,
Great point. When video conferencing is readily able there will be nothing stopping us from connecting with people globally except maybe getting some sleep. When we really connect miracles occur. Your input is always so thoughtful. Thank you.
