I am so huge on engaging, because when you engage, your energy is focused on building connections, and serving, not selling. Totally different energies, totally different results.

Selling grows easier if you don’t try to sell but serve. We’re all entitled to make a living; of course we’ll offer some product or service and be compensated for our offering but when you try to help, and to go above and beyond, you’ll be so much more likely to generate sales without even trying.

I’m more likely to sell when I don’t try to sell.

As for twitter, I link to my blog, and here and there to my eBook sales page, but it’s almost all engaging, chatting and RTing. Stop selling. Start helping. Drive traffic to other people’s blogs. Doing this persistently helps you simply obey the Golden Rule, and as you give freely you’ll receive easily.

Thanks for the smart share Robyn. You’re spreading a positive message to the online crowd: stop selling on social, to spend more time being social, and then when you’re chatting, and detaching from outcomes, the sales will flow in through the back door.

Thanks for sharing.

I’ll tweet in a bit.

Ryan
