Do You Really Have Better Things To Do Than Listen to My Business Opportunity?

Do people really have better things to do than to speak with me or at least watch a 5 minute business presentation about the business opportunity I want to share with them? Of course they do. I should know, because I have better things to do in most instances than to listen or watch someone else's 20 minute business presentation video of their opportunity.

But what do you do, if you believe or think you have the best business opportunity on the planet and you want to share it with everyone you know and everyone you do not know. I mean really, suppose you sincerely believe you have the best opportunity available today, how do you get it in front of the most people? I know, in network marketing they talk about the numbers game. That is sharing one's opportunity with the most people you can with the expectation that one or two people will at least take a look. I am sure this works.

As an alternative, what if I could find a way to introduce the opportunity and make people aware of it while somehow removing myself from the equation so they come across it on their own not knowing I am personally involved. Nah, I do not like that. That generally requires some form of advertising which is quite expensive. I think it may be about somehow finding the people who are looking for the opportunity I have or at least one similar. But then, then again, how do you do that except for advertising?

I look at my own buying habits. I am wondering what can I learn from the purchases I made in the last two days. I just happened to take my daughter out for a walk yesterday and with nothing else to do we walk into an J&M Department store and went to the children's section. I saw a pair of pink winter boots for her I liked but could not find her size. Then I saw a lady looking at another pair of pink boots which I liked better. I bought them.  I then when to Starbucks and bought a Caramel Machiotto. Today, I again went out to go for a swim and later decided I did not feel like it. So I ended up at Starbucks again and bought another Caramel Macchiato. Then, realizing I had had little to eat, I went to a restaurant and ordered a hamburger and had two glasses of wine.

What was it that caused me to make those purchases? I would say in the first instance it was just satisfying my desire to get something for my daughter. I think the machiatto was also about satisfying my desire and certainly the hamburger and wine it was certainly that as well.

So, perhaps to be most successful in having people listen to me or watch my business presentation is to find a way to bring satisfaction to my potential business partners and customers; and the more immediate that satisfaction the better.  Pretty Obvious I Guess.  However, I have not found that magic immediacy.

I feel I may be rambling a bit here so I am going to stop with the intent to find ways to bring that immediate satisfaction to my business offerings. Any ideas?
