For this weekend, I would like to share a story
One day SUN and STORM had an argument with each other
They are bragging each other who is the strongest
To settle their arguments, They decided to do a challenge
They saw a man with his jacket on
STORM said "To determine who is better among us, the one who is able to remove that man's coat will be the greater"
SUN readily agreed with a smiling face
STORM immediately do his plan
Suddenly the weather gone bad
Dark clouds gathered up
Lightning strikes in all directions
Rain Suddenly fell
And strong winds blew
Knowing this, the man held on his coat tightly
but the wind blew stronger
but to NO avail
He still cannot remove the man's coat
STORM frustrated and tired, soon gave up
SUN laughed at STORM and said "My friend, you are doing it the wrong way, watch me"
SUN slowly lit his rays up
the storm subsided
suddenly the weather became nice
It's warm
The man upon seeing this, removed his coat
NOT BY FORCE, HE WILLINGLY DID IT!!!!
Kaibigan, by nature ang tao ayaw ng pinipilit
Sa mundo ng networking, hindi lahat ng tao ay willing mag join sa opportunity mo
REMEMBER, DOING SOMETHING BY FORCE CAN DAMAGE YOUR REPUTATION
And they will stay away from you instead of chasing after you
GET's MO???
SO get out there and like the SUN, share your blessing to others
Not by FORCE
BUT BY PERSUASION
HOPING FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS

The moment I joined an MLM company, people are easily burned out or frustrated because it is not easy to persuade others join his/her opportunity
Hindi natin mapagkakaila na tayong mga Pilipino ay metikuloso o kaya naman ay mapanghusga
Alam nyo siguro kung ano ang reason nito noh???
SIGURISTA kasi tayo
Sa panahon natin ngayon, hindi ganoon kadali mag tiwala sa kung sino-sino
Kung tutuusin nga kahit ung kamag anak mo ay malakas ang "CHANCE"
(I repeat it is not sure all the time) na ikaw ay paikutin o lokohin
Marami ang na "BURN OUT" o napanghinaan na ng loob sa industriya ng MLM dahil dito
Siguro naman lahat tayo ay nagdaan ng mga basic trainings (BOM, etc, not sure kung ano tawag sa ibang MLM companies)
At kung hindi ako nagkakamali ito ang sinasabi ng iba sa atin na mga naging matagumpay sa business na ito
"Invite lang ng Invite, makakahanap ka din ng masipag"
"Mamigay ka ng fliers"
"Tag lng ng tag sa FB"
"Kulitin mo sila"
"Sabihin mo ang benefits ng produkto/service natin"
"Sabihin mo na PAYAMAN tayo dito a.k.a (PAYAMAN SYNDROME =)"
Do you get my Point???
Yes, this plans DO WORK,
BUT NOT ALL THE TIME
Natutuhan ko na sa mundo ng Networking Marketing ay madaming tinatawag na "REJECTION"
Bakit kamo???
It's because not all people are willing to Join the business
Why???
Because in the first place we are forgetting one of the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES that we need to CULTIVATE
"WE NEED TO GAIN THEIR TRUST"
Why am I saying this is true???
Ask a networker why he/she joined the business and you will be surprised
That majority of their answer is this
"Niyaya ako ng kaklase ko"
"Sinama ako ng BF/GF ko"
"Nainspire ako sa sinabi ng speaker"
This means, regardless of the PRODUCT
People joined the business
because of People
They saw something in them that drives them to be interested in doing the business
ONE WORD MY FRIEND
"TRUST"
Somehow, Someway, they developed a certain level of trust on the one who invited them
This is what I learned
NETWORK MARKETING IS A PEOPLE BUSINESS
We work with people
because it is the one that drives the business
Learn to work with people
Establish good relationships
And your business will be in good shape =)
TILL MY NEXT POST
HOPING FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS

During our younger years, we as kids have a hard time sleeping
We are always full of energy even the day is over
So we often asked our parents a lot of things.
And sometimes they end up telling stories
Stories that will discuss anything under the sun
Guys, aminin po natin, in one way or another nagdaan tayo sa ganoong “Stage” ng ating buhay
Do you still remember those stories when you were young???
Some are funny, some are sad, some are frightening.
Yet it survived the test of time for the fact that we remember a majority of them.
Filipinos love stories, no doubt
And we often love to hear stories of other people
And so the term “tsismis” is BORN.. =)
So what’s in a story that makes it so interesting???
You will notice that successful people tends to inspire others by telling their OWN stories.
I looked for an answer on the internet and find this interesting article
It states that Stories are a powerful communication tool.
And there are 5 reason for it
Let’s get over it one at a time shall we??? =)
Why Stories are a Powerful Communication Tool
Stories make a point.
This is quite possibly the simplest and most direct reason why stories are so powerful. Properly selected and told stories can make a point in ways other forms of communication cannot. Stories allow the listener to learn vicariously and discover lessons seemingly on their own. As a leader select your stories carefully and match them to your intended message. Don’t tell stories just “because they are powerful” but because they help you make an important point.
Stories make it memorable.
Well all remember stories, right? In fact, I guarantee you have stories in your mind that have been their most all of your life. While the mechanics of how stories are memorable is beyond the scope of this article, all that really matters right now is that stories can – and do – help people remember things very effectively. As a leader one of your goals with any communication should be to make it memorable. Using well selected, well timed and oft repeated (even though they are memorable) stories will help people remember your message.
Stories make it meaningful.
When we hear a story we have a greater context and understanding of a situation. Stories can personalize a message and make us feel a part of the situation. Use stories to create meaning for people. However, remember, not everyone will have exactly the same meaning. That’s OK, as long as you are telling your stories purposefully and making your main message clear. The meaning each person creates helps them remember and personalize the story.
Stories create and reveal emotions.
Have you ever cried or laughed at a movie, the TV or when reading a book? There is no doubt that stories can create or reveal your emotions. Stories tap into part of what makes us all human. As a leader remember tapping into people’s emotions will help to influence or persuade them.
Stories build connections.
Think about a social situation where you met some new people. It is quite likely the people you feel the greatest bond or attraction to (not necessarily physical, though perhaps) are those who shared a story with you. All stories can create a bond between the teller and the receiver; however, the strongest connections will be forged by personal, first person stories. As a leader, remember your most powerful stories will be things you share about your life experience – especially a time when you failed or made a mistake. Not only can those stories make your intended point, but they also can build a stronger connection or relationship between you and those you are telling the story to.
So what's the relevance of these on MLM???
Balik tayo sa sinabi ko kanina, "People love stories"
And TRUE STORIES WITH MORAL LESSONS to be exact.
Ala sya pakialam kung ano ang PRODUCT MO
Ala sya pakialam kung ano ang COMPENSATION
Ala sya pakialam kung ano ang BENEFITS
Ang may pakialam sya ay kung SINO KA at KUNG ANO ANG MAIIBIGAY MO SA KANYA
It begins on yourself
It begins on your experiences
It begins on your Stories
