I’m big on basics! “Basics” are nothing more than fundamental building blocks. For example, think of all the building blocks that go into a child learning to walk. A child must learn to sit, crawl, stand, and walk with assistance before a first individual step is taken.

Your friends hear your enthusiasm and agree to try the product because you have credibility with them. Your enthusiam for the product is contagious and they have an expectation that the product will work for them. Low and behold: it does.

Although you still have unbounding enthusiam for the product, you no longer hold that magic that existswith your friends. What is the magic? It’s all the factors that you think of when you think of a good relationship. Credibility, confidence, repour, and a history of trust are just a few of the factors that go into a good relationship.
The key is telling one friend at one time. Spreading your enthusiasm one person at a time. Telling your message and enlisting the participation of one person at a time.
This may sound odd, but business people would be well served by reading a few books about the foundations of good relationships and marriages!
