Leaders

“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.” -- John Maxwell, Leadership Author and Speaker 

Network marketing has changed as social networking has grown.  Not very long ago, a prospect would research your company before deciding whether to join your team.  Social networking has enabled prospects to learn about YOU!   Having the right "chemistry" with a prospect has always been important, but it is much more than that now.

This is a very important evolution.  You now want to "expose yourself" even more on the Internet.  If someone wants to "check you out," they must be able to find information about you.  The more sites you join and provide your "profile," the easier their search will be.  Which brings up another point...

If you are involved in social networking, be careful what you say.  When researching you, will people find inappropriate postings?  Do you participate in groups on, say Facebook, that others may find offensive?

I personally do not post anything political.  While I do have political opinions, I do not share them on a public forum.  Not everyone agrees with this, but unless the forum is specifically political, I do not think it is appropriate.  That is a decision you must make.

When posting anywhere on the Internet, keep in mind that there are people deciding whether to "buy into" your team or company.  Represent yourself and your company well.
