What do you say when someone asks you, “what do you do?”

This is a very funny question and something I have struggled with when I first got into Network Marketing. I use to stutter and say all the things I wasn’t suppose to say. And, as I grew not only professionally but personally, I realized I couldn’t answer this question correctly because I wasn’t confident in my skills. I wasn’t confident in my skills as a leader or my profession for that matter. Alot of times when your just getting started in Network Marketing you are so excited and want tell all your family and friends. Then you get a crushing blow to your self-esteem. They either tell you that your crazy for joining one of those “pyramid” schemes and you need to get a real job or they just don’t believe in the profession you chose. Don’t take it personal. People fear what they do not know. Maybe they seen someone lose alot of money in a previous mlm business or maybe they know of someone who still have a garage full of inventory. Maybe they even lost friends by getting them involved in a network marketing business. Before you join any network marketing company, you need to learn about the the type of profession your getting in first. Doing this will make things a lot easier for you when your just beginning. It amazes me how many people join a network marketing business and haven’t did one bit of research on Network Marketing. Then when you join your company, your not even confident enough to answer the basic question of ”what do you do?”. I urge anyone who is thinking about working from home or starting your own business to do some research in your profession before you join your company. That way when someone asks you “what do you do”, you can say with confidence “I am a professional Network Marketer.” The more confidence you have in yourself and business, the easier it will be for you to speak about what your do.
