permission to rant?!

OK a little rant from me to you, then we can get on with our lives.
I get soooo many messages on facebook, from people, without even introducing themselves or asking about me. Trying to pitch their business. Telling me it is the best compensation plan with the best products etc etc then a link..... I'm sorry but as if i am going to click on your link. I don't know who you are, where you are from. You have no idea about me and you are not interested.
The likelihood of someone clicking on your link after a 3 paragraph spiel about how your products are the best is very small. I have stopped reading the message after 2 lines, that's if i actually open it in the first place.
The idea people is to NETWORK rather than PITCH. Get to know the party goers, find out about them, build relationships and then ONLY IF THEY ASK should you send a link or more info on what you have to offer. Quite frankly i'm not interested in what you have to offer unless i know and trust you, likewise i expect you feel the same about me. So stop being so forward and lets relax, have fun and network in this party place!!

  1. I fully agreed with you, Eva!

    Those people are spammers and not interested to get to know or help others...

    Like you, I believe in making friends and in case we hit it off, that's when we can talk business.
