Smile....

Today's post shares with you a tip that may seem obvious, but one that can drastically change the results you experience and sadly one that is often overlooked.

For most people in the home business industry, we seem to get laser focused as we are out inviting, meeting new people, sharing and presenting.  We get intense and that comes through on the look on our face.  And an intense look raises a ton of resistance.  A simple smile has major benefits to you as you prospect, recruit and lead your team.

Today you’ll learn five benefits that come from simply remembering to smile.

1. Smiling Helps Others Relax

When you authentically and genuinely smile, you immediate cause the people around you to relax and to take down their walls.  When prospecting and recruiting, peoples resistance meters go up and your smile can help lower their resistance, which is always a good thing!

Have you ever noticed when you’ve been talking with someone how an exchange of smiles can immediately break the ice?   Remembering to smile should not be overlooked.

2. Smiling Draws People To You

Have you ever seen this play out in a social setting?  You see those people who constantly smile and you see others surround them.  Or maybe even the opposite?  You know people who always have  a snarl or a frown… are these the people are drawn to?  Not at all!

As you are speaking with your prospects and they see and hear your genuine smile, they are drawn in to what you are saying, they are drawn to your energy.  In general, people want to be around others who are happy and positive, so your smile becomes a flashing welcoming sign to others.

3. Your Smile Connects People To You

If you smile at people, first you will get a smile from almost everyone you come into contact with.  Secondly, you give people an open connection with you.  You can start so many conversations simply by giving them a “green light” to talk with you.

Your smile alone can start so many conversations!  A smile and a quick “hey, what’s up” will open so many doors.  If you throw in a genuine compliment, you’re golden!

As humans, we are designed for human connection yet it is something that is missing in much of our society, so instinctively, many take this open door and are happy to connect through the gift of a smile!

4. Your Smile Creates A Positive Atmosphere

As you’re prospecting and presenting, keep a genuine smile on your face.  It creates a positive atmosphere.  Your energy is positive and as your prospect connects with your smile and reciprocates with their smile, their energy is positive as well.

Showing the advantage of smiling you may have to think to the opposite of this.  What happens if you have a stern look on your face or even a frown?  They will reciprocate with the same.  Is this a buying atmosphere? Not at all!

As you can see, smiling is one of the “little things” that really do matter!

Your smile can totally set the atmosphere as a positive one!

5. Your Smile Elevates Your Mood

This is the only aspect in this list that is self serving.  Smiling helps YOU have a better mood!

Have you ever been in a bad mood and then forced yourself to smile?  Immediately you’ll feel the endorphins kick in and have a better moment.  Your physical position greatly affects how you feel internally.

So if you want to change your mood, do it with a smile!

Of course, as your mood gets better and more joyful, your prospects will sense your energy and will be affected.  This goes back to the points made previously about creating a positive atmosphere and connecting others to you.

Plus, being in a better mood is always a good thing, right?  A smile really does help!!
