I used to be that guy, ugh! I did learn though to not do that, and to actually be interested in that person and find out about them, and build that relationship :) This is an awesome post Dave.

I don't count as friends as those who just want something from me, and while I tolerate someone marketing to me right off, I almost never do what they are asking -- they don't even know what I'm interested in! I even struggle with adding people to my personal FB page who are not really interested in getting to know me. I have to admit that in all the busy-ness, I often don't take time to get to know those on my FB page, but I'd honestly like to know them as people and not just as potential clients. I'd like to think that others felt that way about me, even if the friendship part doesn't come right away. Excellent points, Dave/Dawn!

Nice to meet you, this is our first time on your blog. Very truthful article indeed! It's just hard for us to think that there are so many people out there that expect us to click on the links they send us that are obviously of a product they are trying to sell. Guess some people don't know any better and some others are just spammers, simply not interested in cultivating a relationship at all... and as you actually don't have a relationship with them, well, they don't care if you think they are spammers! Your post also reminded us of what happened after we watched a webinar about using Twitter. The instructor showed an example of the DM he sends when he first connects with people. A few days later, unbelievably to us, we started receiving exactly the same DM that the instructor had shown from quite a few people connecting with us on Twitter!! Unbelievable! Connecting through social media is an art, and not everybody knows how to "get along with the other children". In the end, it all comes down to keeping in mind that there are people on the other side of the screen, too. Hi Dave and Dawn!

I agree, those examples of selling straight away are so in your face, or another way of putting it is 'falling with the door into the house' (translated from German)

Building a relationship first and showing a genuine interest in the other person would build trust and then the other person maybe open to what we have to offer.

Cheers

I get emails like that all the time. Rome was not built in a day - neither are relationships. I don't know where people learn this from but it's the FIRST thing that will turn off people, that's for sure! Thanks for a good read! Hi Dave, you are so right. I get emails like that all the time.
