We need to communicate with our friends, family, at work and various other scenarios. So lack of communication skills can definitely kill your MLM business. Lack of effective communication can project your message in a wrong or offending manner. It can cause frustration, misunderstanding and misinterpretation, finally resulting in disasters.
With the dynamic environment becoming more information and technology friendly, the need of effective communication skills form a vital part of personality development process. Lack of communication skills can hamper the career as well as the personal relationships of people. Some steps which you may follow for effective communication is:
Clarity of thought
The intention and purpose of the messages should be very clear. The recipient of the message and the purpose of communication should be identified clearly. Any barriers which come into the picture be it gender, language or age or any other thing should be kept in mind while communicating the message. Make sure that you have chosen the correct scenario for communicating the message. Cross check with self about the results of the message and impression which you want to create after conveying the message.
Determine the method of communication.
Now that you have identified the need of Affective Communication in Network Marketing, figure out the way you want to communicate the message. If you are going to a direct communication, make sure that you maintain the eye contact. Your posture should be in such a way that it reflects your confidence and trust. Make sure that your body language is perfect as any small mistake can send a wrong clue to the recipient. Non-verbal communication is always much stronger than verbal communication. Your tone should be a non-judgmental one.
Be a good listener
Good listening skills are vital for a communication to be successful, especially in Network Marketing. Communication is not a one-way road. You need to talk, then stop and listen and then expect feedback and clues to understand how far you have been successful in communicating the message. Make sure that you do not cut off the words of the recipient(s). Pay complete attention to what they are saying. Once they complete, make sure that the message has been conveyed in the right manner. Ask questions so that you can clarify the doubts of your recipient(s). If required, make sure that your message is fine-tuned.
Arrive at a consensus with the recipient(s)
Once the message is discussed and you receive the feedback, re-examine the aim of the communication has been achieved. Has a consensus been reached? Has the problem been resolved? If you were teaching something, have the recipients understood what you taught?
A good communication is successful only if the recipient interprets the communicated message in the way it was sent by the sender. A communication can be considered as a successful one if both parties involved in the transaction understand each other completely.

Excellent point. So often we believe our communication was effective because it felt good to us, we made all the points we wanted to, and had good energy behind it. Taking care, as you recommend, in your affective presentation and making sure there is accurate reception are essential.
Thanks. I enjoyed reading this.

Good post Kyle. Communication in network marketing is extremely important. I could say that it is one of the most important requirements for success. You need to be able to communicate with leaders, with a prospect with distributors with your mastermind team. Usually the way how you communicate will determine whether you are a likable or not.
