Good Deeds To Succeed Online

I "Tweeted" the following. A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed by Henrik Ibsen

I've found it doesn't need to be a big deed it just needs to be doing something to be helpful and not to land a sale or a new member. In my various online businesses and particularly in the Berry Tree/Nutronix Automated system mentors always recommend that we are not sales people we are simply tour givers. When I personally look at a tour guide I relate it to a customer services representative. You'll notice that a customer services representative or a tour guide don't attempt to sell anything, they simply do deeds for people like give them more information or to give them details about the information they've alread seen.

In the kind of business I am in, network marketing, doing a good deed is to give information to people without telling them how good the opportunity is and let them, all by themselves determine, for themselves, if this opportunity is for them.

In the Berry Tree/Nutronix as in other legitimate programs, there are websites that actually do the telling and selling of the opportunity and it is therefore easy for business builders to jump into the role as a tour giver - doing deeds for people.

Sales will come or they won't but trying to sell somebody will surely do more harm than good in todays society.
