First what is Emotional Intelligence?  Emotional intelligence is a different way of being smart. Brilliant & impressive author Daniel Goleman expresses how to understand, develop and most importantly apply emotional intelligence to all parts of your life, including and especially your MLM business.

Our emotional intelligence determines the potential for learning the practical skills that are based on its five elements: Self-awareness, motivation, self-regulation, empathy, and adeptness in personal & working relationships.

Our emotional competence shows how much of that potential we have translated, and then apply, to our top flight coaching in potential prospects.

Inter-personal intelligence is the ability to understand other people. What motivates them, how they work, how to work cooperatively with them.  Successful people are likely to be individuals with high degrees of interpersonal intelligence. Those who have strong interpersonal intelligence are good at understanding and interacting with other people. These individuals are skilled at assessing the emotions, motivations, desires and intentions of those around them.

Characteristics of Inter-personal Intelligence

·         Good at communicating verbally

·         Skilled nonverbal communicators

·         See situations from different perspectives

·         Create positive relationships with others

·         Good at resolving conflict in groups

Intra-personal intelligence however, is a correlative ability, turned inward. It is a capacity to form an accurate, veridical model of oneself and to be able to use that model to operate in life. Individuals who are strong in intrapersonal intelligence are good at being aware of their own emotional states, feelings and motivations. They tend to enjoy self-reflection and analysis, including exploring relationships with others and assessing their personal strengths.

Characteristics of Intra-personal Intelligence

·         Good at analyzing their strengths and weaknesses

·         Enjoys analyzing theories and ideas

·         Excellent self-awareness

·         Clearly understands the basis for their own motivations and feelings

This is called Emotional intelligence and it is critical for developing the leader within you.

BUT FIRST…let’s clear up some misconceptions. First emotional intelligence does not mean merely “being nice.”  In fact… At strategic moments, it may demand, not being nice.  For example, bluntly confronting someone when you know they are not qualified to be in your precious down line.

Second, emotional intelligence does not mean giving free rein to feelings… “Letting it all hang out” Rather it means managing feelings so that they are expressed appropriately and effectively, enabling people to work together smoothly toward common goals!

Emotional intelligence skills are synergistic with cognitive ones;
And… Top MLM earners have both.

An important emotional competence is: Getting Others to Respond in a Desired Way!

At the heart of this competence are two main abilities:

(1)   Empathy, which involves reading the feelings of others.

(2)   Social Skills, which allow handling those feeling artfully.

The underlying emotional intelligence capacities are vital if you are going to successfully learn the competencies necessary to succeed in your MLM Business. If you have little self-awareness, you will be oblivious to your own weaknesses and lack the self-confidence that comes from the certainty of knowing your strengths.
You must become educated in yourself! This will be your most prized investment, the investment in yourself.

By: Benjamin Bradley

Is there a distinct lack of leadership in your network marketing ‘team’? Really, besides the team leader, who hosts fancy business briefings at his house to impress your prospects, what Is being done in your upline to teach fresh strategies that will enable you to make massive income without experiencing frustration and rejection?

If you have read any of my other articles, I am always stressing the importance of demonstrating credibility, not putting on the appearance of credibility. If you ask 10 network marketing industry leaders, you may get 10 different answers on how to develop that credibility and trust. There is but one real answer. Teaching, that’s it. Teach what?

Do I mean learn all the useless facts and benefits about all my products so I can fill my prospect’s head with mush? Memorize the compensation plan so I can bore my prospects with hypotheticals? No! That is what is taught in traditional MLM.

What I am talking about is teaching online marketing. It can be article marketing, traffic generation, seo or whatever! But right here is the key so listen closely. I could tell prospect A to use article marketing to promote the benefits of natural ingredients in your network marketing company’s makeup, and then to capture the reader’s information with an autoresponder.

Heck, that’s a good plan! But…this is where people get stuck and then quit. They agree with the plan put forth, but then go to try ro execute that plan and realize, “hey, I don’t really know how to write articles.” Or, “I never used an autoresponder before, I have no clue what I’m doing!”

Quickly the good sounding plan turns into a massive undertaking to learn how to do all these new things. This is where the pain of having to learn new stuff surpasses the pain of not making any mlm paychecks, and voila! Your prospect makes the connection that one must be a computer whiz to succeed with these online marketing strategies.

While that may be a rational connection to make for someone just looking at article marketing and autoresponders for the first time, you have done them a disservice by not educating them upfront.

This is exactly how to separate yourself from the crowd. While everyone else is pushing traditional methods and others are telling prospects to use article marketing and autoresponders, you will be the one teaching the network marketing prospect how to write a catchy article. You will teach them where to submit it so people find it. You will educate them on how to set up an autoresponder.

There are hundreds of little tactics people are told to try, but very few actually take the time to teach how.

I just read a quick report from a friend of mine. I will put a link to it below. I believe it is a mere $7. He lists over 100 things you can do to drive traffic to a site. This is something you may want to know about. Driving web traffic is paramount to any success you will achieve online.

Some are good, some are ridiculous, but what it does is give you the opportunity to see some methods of driving traffic which you can then do a little research on, and turn around and actually teach prospects HOW to do.

Choose one a week. He gives you so many opportunities to educate your prospects, and fellow network marketing team members, that you will be the star player in your group in no time.

So you don’t know where to go to research a topic? Google it! There will surely be articles and other links explaining it. Take that information and spin it to how you want to. Make it your own. You can find out anything on the internet. The truth is, you are merely doing what the lazy people won’t do. You are getting the information and presenting it to them, for a price. In your case, it should cost them their email address to get it.

Try this offline tactic. This may not endear you to your upline, but hell, what have they done for you? Start holding trainings within your current team or group. Teach these people how to sponsor people without hounding friends and family using the methods you found in my buddy’s report. Show them how! You and your group will quickly be looked at as the leaders simply because you are doing something no one else is. Teaching HOW.
