9 Qualities of a Good Communicator

Being successful in Network Marketing is all about being a successful COMMUNICATOR!

Here are the 9 qualities of a good communicator according to expert Tim Sales...

1. Be interested! Focus on your prospect and ask them questions about themselves

2. Don't be distracted by anyone or anything else in the room.

3. Make sure your facial expressions are sincere and friendly. Maintain comfortable eye contact - don't stare them down but don't look somewhere else either.

4. Use the right amount of assertiveness. You want to educate your prospect without lecturing.

5. Communicate easily. Be comfortable, know your subject.

6. Make sure your body doesn't distract from the presentation. Be mindful of what you are wearing and how you smell. Bad breath is a number 1 turnoff and distractor from what you have to say!

7. Tell the truth! And keep your word - if you say you will get them some more information - make sure you follow through.

8. Know what you are talking about. Just as an actor practises their script many times - you need to do the same with your business - know your products and business plan.

9. Communicate at the prospects level. Talking to a doctor about USANA will be different than talking to a student. Make sure you are prepared to adapt to who you are talking to.

Remember - it's not about us. All people are tuned into that classic radio station - WIIFM - What's In It For Me - so make sure they know what the benefit to THEM is!
