\"No<\/a>
I love it, "No Cold Calling Zone!"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If people approach you on social media sites about promoting their blog, service, or product do you do it?<\/p>\n

Or\u2026do you only promote, share, and retweet those things that are worthy in YOUR opinion?<\/p>\n

And if you are selective\u2026how do you tell someone no?<\/p>\n

Tough question, and I\u2019m not sure how many people would be honest about it. I for one do not approach people to share anything of mine because I don\u2019t want to put them in an uncomfortable situation\u2026that\u2019s not my job here on Earth. Instead, I would rather someone promote, share, or retweet me because they find what I do generally, or something I did specifically, valuable to them.<\/p>\n

I guess that\u2019s the aspect of this that most intrigues me, that there are so many people running all over social media sites bugging people to retweet or share their crap. And when I say crap here, I mean good or bad\u2026I\u2019m speaking more to the fact that people have the balls to do that. Stop cold calling me, stop ringing my social media doorbell and talking to me about your religion and trying to convert me\u2026sheesh!<\/p>\n

Most people do not like the hard sell, in fact, I\u2019d venture to say nobody does\u2026sometimes the hard sell works because people will bite just to get you to shut up and leave them alone. Very few hard sellers can sustain success over time\u2026the hard sell pushes people away verse pulling them in.<\/p>\n

My advice\u2026observe how you are interacting with others and how they in turn are interacting with you\u2026if you\u2019re aware enough you should be able to see if people are coming to you versus running like hell from you.<\/p>\n

Tips to pull people toward you: be a friend, listen, engage, create a valuable service or product, help, don\u2019t always talk business, don\u2019t be positive, produce quality content, and most of all\u2026be you. We ALL want you to be you\u2026and in return I hope you let me be me.<\/p>\n

Cheers!!<\/p>\n
