As you recall from our description of attraction marketing, these anti-people methods do not work: chasing, arguing, preaching, begging, manipulating, or pushing. Still, at some point, a product or service must be sold, or the "business" ceases to exist! So how does the selling get done?

As a side note: We have never thought of ourselves as "sales" people. We have always had a rather negative image regarding "selling." These views have greatly hampered our network marketing activities, and to a lesser extent our high tech business consulting. The following resources have helped clarify selling, particularly as it relates to network marketing:

• Romancing the Sale by Barbara Silva. In this eBook, Silva likens the selling relationship to a dating relationship. The book focuses on all of the stages of human interactions in doing business; the subtitle is How to Build and Maintain Highly Profitable Customer Relationships that Last. This book puts selling in the context of a series of interactions, all geared toward building a relationship. Click on the book image below for more information.
  
  

• How to Sell Network Marketing Without Fear, Anxiety, or Losing Your Friends, by Michael Oliver. This is a thoroughly complete book on developing a relationship with potential partners including detailed sections on connecting, active listening, asking questions, guiding with feedback, and much more. Oliver refers to his well defined process as Natural Selling®. Click on the book image below for more information. In addition, we recommend his website where you can get an introduction from a free e-course.
  
  

• Training available from the Renegade University / Renegade Professional Site Created by Mike Klingler.
