MWM Business HELP 5 Ways NOT to Approach Someone Through Facebook I’m going to share a few screen shots of what NOT to do on Facebook, based on interactions we’ve had lately. You already know that you’ve got to build a relationship with another marketer before you ask them to buy your product, promote for you and so forth. Right? And Facebook can be a good place to connect with your fellow marketers, too. Heck, I’m always interested in building new relationships that offer something for BOTH of us. But we’re getting a little frustrated with how some of the people are connecting with us. For example: Photo 1 Notice their reply when we ask how we can help them… nothing. They don’t have the slightest idea why they connected with us, who we are or anything relevant. I suspect we are simply another person to add to their list of people to make themselves look popular in the online world. But what will happen if they ever figure out who we are, and they want us to promote for them or help them in some way? We might give them same answer they gave us… nothing. Photo 2 Same thing. They don’t have any idea why they’re connecting with us, and so why are they wasting our time and their time, too? Photo 3 Okay, it’s true that we did ask what they do. Even so, this is not the time to launch into a sales pitch. We met each other online a few nano seconds ago… is anyone going to read that pitch and say, “WOW, this is what I’ve been looking for all my life?”
