Business Of Trust
While reading “The Passion Test” by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood, there was a chapter in the book where Janet was interviewing Stephen M. R. Covey, the author of “The Speed of Trust“.
I must admit that after reading a few chapters of The Speed of Trust, I stopped reading it as I felt that it was quite plain and nothing fantastic but after reading the excerpts of it in The Passion Test, I had a realization why people are not joining the network marketing industry.
When I was first recruited into the business and wanted to start inviting my friends and relatives to come and take a look at the business opportunities, I was told not to tell them what was this all about.
“Just tell your friends and relatives that you want them to see and take a look with their own eyes, not yours”!” was what I was told by my uplines while inviting my friends and relatives.
Now when I thought back, I was wondering if there could be a possibility that my friends and relatives has said No to the business opportunity because I betrayed their trust in me?
Or perhaps I have not delved in deep enough to find out what was their take about the industry as a whole before pouring all the information on them?
Most people regardless of where they are right now, knows about MLM or network marketing. Would it be better to be truthful and honest so that we still have the trust our friends and relatives have in us?
Since 2002, I have already been in this business part time together with my wife and I have to be honest, I am still not progressing as far as I thought I could. Perhaps, there must be a paradigm shift for me right now to build this business on a different approach.
An approach of honesty, truthfulness and trustworthy to my potential business partners so that I am able to earn their trust in me to have a long term mutual beneficial business partnership.
Any comments on this? Would appreciate if you can leave me some comments…
Thank you.
