    Stories are addictive. The human mind is designed to visualize and remember stories. So if you want to communicate effectively, add your stories to deliver your message. 
    Prospects hate sales presentations, but they love to listen to stories. Think about it. When you walk by someone telling a story, doesn’t your subconscious mind command you to stop and listen to that story? And, you want to hear the story all the way to the end because the subconscious mind hates an unfinished story. 
    Stories can be used to attract prospects, to overcome objections, to motivate prospects, and to teach your new distributors important business principles in a pleasant, non-threatening way. Make your business stress-free and fun. Learn to tell stories. The top earners in network marketing are great story-tellers. Don’t you think you should start accumulating your collection of stories to deliver your message? 
    Stories bypass the salesman alarm, the “Too good to be true” filter, and the “What’s the catch?” program. Now your message is received with an open mind. 
    Join the top earners now and become a professional storyteller.

    Small talk has a big impact—learn to master this most important communication skill to feel more at ease at work, parties, and events of all kinds.   Carol Fleming wants to show you that small talk is not as small as you might think. It’s the foundation of every relationship, professional and personal. It’s the sound of people reaching out to each other, searching for similarities, shared interests, goodwill, connections, and friendship. And it’s something that can be learned, even by those requiring the smallest of baby steps.   We engage in small talk every day with people we know—but it feels a lot tougher when we go outside our comfort zone. This guide to graceful social conversation covers both inner and outer aspects—from the right attitude to how to dress, move around, and introduce yourself. Most importantly, Fleming lays out a series of simple, memorable conversational strategies that make it easy to go from “Nice weather we're having” to a genuine, rewarding give-and-take.    But she won’t tell you what to say. Believe it or not, you already have what you need inside you. She merely provides the keys to unlock it!

    "What is the most important attribute a freelance consultant must have? " Is it communications skills, a package of up-to-the- inute techniques, or the ability to project manage effectively? " All of these things are necessary. But I encourage you to read this book through a different lens. The most important attribute, in my world, is the ability to market oneself- products, pricing, promotion and routes to market. This book will support you on that journey." Martin Shervington, author
