The new golden rule of business relationship building is NOT to try to SELL potential customers your product or service, but to start building a relationship and reputation with them first. ASK your customers to tell you what they want. Offer them something complimentary - a free newsletter, or business advice and information, or a video course that will help them achieve their goals. YOU build your customer list and THEY get free information...
You then wait until you have developed a relationship with your customer before introducing him to your star product. Attraction marketing can only give you results when you start delivering value by establishing relationships with individuals who are attracted to you because of what you represent.
Develop trust and let the relationship evolve over time. Everyone likes to get something for free and this is a good way to start building trust with your customer to make him feel that you are not merely trying to sell him something. Once your customer trusts you and has the feeling that his genuine interests are at heart, then you can recommend a product or service to him. At this point, your customer will feel like he has made his own decision to purchase something from you, without having been convinced or influenced in any way.
Basically, one has to provide solutions to people's problems and needs. This takes time and patience to develop and is labour intensive, but done correctly, this sort of online marketing can build you a valuable list of loyal clients, that will buy from you repeatedly.
