If you don’t know it by now, KLT is the most important ingredient that you will need in your recipe for success in your business. That is of course, Know, Like and Trust.
Failing to include this ingredient will cause your business to fall flat, flavorless and fail miserably.
The simple truth is that business is about relationships. Not just network marketing, not just marketing, and not just sales but just about any business!
And in business, you build relationships through Know, Like and Trust, allowing these to lead people in your target market to naturally becoming your prospects, and ultimately, your clients and business partners.
But you absolutely MUST do this without an agenda, without want, and exuding your best intentions, and with complete integrity and authenticity.
I ended up on this train of though again today when I heard yet again about someone pushing their business on someone in their warm market, repeatedly and to the point that they had pretty much destroyed their previous trust. It’s a painful story to hear!
Here’s a video on this point, enjoy and chime in, I know you want to!
Make no mistake about it, you cannot underestimate the power of the relationship!
Wishing You Brilliant Success!
Thank you for your post, Vicki! I agree with you that these are the things that are the most important in businesses. I’ve heard people who I thought were straight shooters urging us to tell people things that just aren’t true. If people find out that you are lying to them, why would they want to make you some money?

Thanks Steve!
You’re right, if you are telling people things that aren’t true, you aren’t being authentic and you are not operating with the utmost integrity. People will see through that and it’s true, why would they want to make you any money!
Wishing You Awesome Success!
Hi Vicki,
These “three little words,” are clearly of HUGE importance. Although my 75 years of life experience strongly attest to this truth, I was not previously aware of “KLT” as a shorthand way to refer to them. Thanks much for that.
All the best,
George

Hi Oliver!

Yes indeed, KLT is king! Relationships are the basis of all good business, and even regardless of business, friends are at the basis of a happy life!
Wishing You Every Happiness and Success!
Thanks Vicki, What a great reminder. You certainly project a trustworthy presence yourself. Thanks for being a powerful model!
Thanks so much Shayla!
I just figured it’s one of the most basic keys to doing business, and people coming along into internet marketing may never have heard or easily forget about it!
I appreciate your stopping by and commenting !
Wishing You Enormous Success,
Hey Vicki,
I completely agree… I especially like your example about asking a first date to marry you to drive the example in, it’s so true!
You always bring to the table information to think about implementing in to my business… Thank You!

Thank you John!
I appreciate your support as always! K.L.T. so basic in it’s ingredient to success that it is often overlooked. I still get surprised by how many people will post a pitch on my Facebook wall, email or even call me with a pitch when I have no idea who they even are! They’d never even made an effort to get to know me in the slightest. This practice will never work for anyone, and if it happens to by sheer luck it won’t be enduring at all (like the chances of it working out long term when getting married after the first date LOL!)
Thanks as always for your comment, great to see you again today!
Wishing you Tremendous Success,
