Everybody is good in having a face to face approach with others.I can say that the following factors prevents us from having a face to face approach.

2. When you are backed up by a strong well known product how come you will not be good at approaching a person

Even experienced speakers get nervous. Don't try to eliminate your jitters, turn them into a positive energy you can use to boost your delivery. Know what you are going to say, and why you want to say it. Speak to a supportive audiences in small group or a few people where less is at stake, at a staff meeting or a parent teacher association meeting. Breathe, in the thirty seconds before you begin speaking, take three slow, deep breaths through your nose, filling your belly and exhaling. As you breathe

A lot of my advice on improving with face-to-face approaches would depend on *why* you feel it might be a problem. For some, it's a more personal anxiety problem; for others it's a confidence problem (and yes, the two *are* different!); and for still others, it's some other type of impediment, like a speech disorder or other physical problem that can get in the way, or even just lacking the verbal skills to make the approach affective.

With anxiety issues, I highly recommend hypnotism

When it becomes difficult to approach someone, there is always a root cause, maybe you have faced rejection before and you are afraid of being rejected again or probably suffering from some inferiority complex.

My advise will be that you should first deal with yourself by mixing up with people, read books and listen to tapes that teaches on how to socialize with people and self development, join some social groups and consciously start a conversation with someone or people when necessary.

Hi there,

I would use WAVE3 X-Cards and start handing them out to friends, family, co-workers, neighbors--anyone you know looking for great deals and great rewards. 100 cards only cost $1. Buy them with 200 MRP or 7 T Credits. TC Members earn 5 MRP with this purchase. SFI Affiliates also earn 12.00 VP with each purchase.

Recipients of your W3 X-Cards who go to www.TripleClicks.com/W3 where they will be able to sign up as a W3 member! Because you will be recorded as the referrer.

Do not worry all people may not have the same comfort level.My 27 year experience in selling "Life Insurance " policies did not start very smoothly for me.I was aghast at having no experience in selling this financial product, which at 1987 when I started the job I was a bit terrified to say the least.But gradually my confidence started pouring in when I noticed that in many cases though I was not able to get any sale I received first rate treatment.This bolstered up my courage and I did

Hello,

I suggest you work out alone before a mirror. This is a very good way to learn. I personally use this method when I have a job interview, for example.

To do this, prepare a text on a sheet of paper, depending on why you want to approach one or more persons.

Put yourself in front of a mirror in order to view your bust, your face (This will allow you to view your gestures, physical, instinctive attitude, identify your facial expressions, if you have them. And

If your verbal communication is not very good , I suggest that you bring some printed material. Give to your prospect together with your SFI Gateway address. While your showing
