Does The Golden Rule Apply To Your Online Marketing Business?

Just what is the Golden Rule? It use to be taught in school years ago,
but now days I am not sure how many people even know what it is.

Treat others like you would like to be treated! What a powerful
statement! Just think, if everyone did just that, this world would be
a better place to live. But, what does this have to do with an online
marketing business?

Power of Attitude

There is a book out called, The Power of Attitude, and in it is a
story about Rule #1, It is Golden. The story:

A man owned a furniture store and one day every week his son would
come in and dust to earn an allowance. Every week the boy would watch
his dad greet people at the door, and chat with them for hours. Their
were bankers, lawyers, school teachers and even doctors. One day just
before closing, the garbage collector walked in, the dad greeted him
just like all the others and talked for hours. After they were done
and the dad closed the door, the son asked his dad, why did you treat
him like everyone else, he is just a garbage collector.

The dad sat his son down and explained to him, if I teach you
anything at all in this life, the #1 rule is to live by the Golden
Rule! The son asked, What do you mean, dad? The dad asked the son,
when you go to school, you want to be treated like everyone else,
right? The son answered well Yes!. The dad said well then, that is why
you should treat everyone else the same, the Golden Rule, Treat every
else just like you want to be treated.

What does this have to do with an Online Marketing Business?

Again you may ask, so what does this have to do with my online
marketing business? Well, if you are not making the money that you
thought you would make, maybe you should ask yourself, how do I treat
my prospects? Do I treat them like I would want to be treated or just
like another dollar sign?

Think about how you would like to be treated. When you call your
sponsor and need to have a question answered, do they get right back
to you? Are they hot on your heels now that you have joined their
business? How does that make you feel, when all of a sudden they do
not have the time of day for you, they are just too busy? Is that the
way you treat your people?

Always think of how you feel when people do not treat you like you
think you should be treated. Always remember how you have felt when
people treated you different, whether it was is school or now that you
have your own online marketing business.

Stop and Think

Stop and think, Am I treating this person like a person or like a
prospect? Hopefully your answer would be like a person. Once you start
thinking of prospects as people and using the Golden Rule in your
business, that is when your business will explode. You will feel
like a job well done! So every time you get a prospect, a person, on
the phone, think of the Golden Rule, It really works.
