I know today is Tuesday, and for you Twitter Goal diehards that usually means I will scour the internet looking for the funniest and best Twitter cartoons out there. However, I need to discuss a recent Facebook chat that I just had with a non-disclosed third party. I have removed pertinent information about this person, as not to embarrass them publicly.

Other Person(Not Real Name)

11:29am(Other Person)

we have just recently launched what i perceive to be one of the most exciting entrepreneurial opportunities in the US

11:29amAndrew

That can not be! (Please note the hint of sarcasm here. This might be where he lost my attention)

I have the most exciting entrepreneurial opportunities in the US right now! 🙂

11:30am(Other Person)

you will be pleasently surprised andrew

in fact to vouch what i say we have in fact shared our operations with a large number of US and canadian counterparts and they are absolutely taken back

11:31amAndrew

so, what is the MLM that you are working on right now.

11:32am (Other Person)

i guess my reason for my claim is based on the fact that nothing like this has EVER existed in the US and in fact we are potentially the first company of its kind now in operation

11:32amAndrew

nevermind, not interested. (Please listen to your prospects, and do not talk just to hear your own voice! When someone asks a question of interest, do not snub them!)

11:32am(Other Person)

11:40am(Other Person)

thanks have a good day

Maybe this is just a little kvetching, but I believe that when someone asks you a question, you answer them. When someone shows the slightest hint of interest, you expound upon that interest. Social networking is awesome! At the same time, I do not want my to spend my entire day talking to people about the GREATEST Entrepreneurial opportunity in the US. That is an insult to my intelligence and a slap in the face to everything that I do for my business.

The point of this post is simple. When you connect with someone through facebook and twitter do not insult their intelligence by blowing smoke past them. Instead, use the opportunity to connect with them and build a profitable relationship.
