Rule #1 should be, as you imply: “Don’t EVER ask an organizer to promote your products or services to their group if you’ve never taken the effort to attend one of their meeting!” Right?

1) No one likes a pushy salesperson.
2) Everyone likes someone that wants to help you out of the goodness of their heart without expecting anything in return.
3) First impressions count. How you look, act, smell, and what you say are very important. Key is to look, act and be successful to attract success.
4) Never act needy or pushy.
When I interviewed people, if they had a better way to do it than I suggested – I deemed them pushy and overbearing.
If they wore a polyester suit, I felt they had bad taste and possibly would have bad judgement in other areas.
For the salesmen that would call on me, it was the ones that wanted to help me learn my new commodity (DRAMs for instance) that got my attention and eventually I worked to help them learn how to get more of my business.
The pushy ones that just wanted and wanted, I never had time for.
Also remember trust in your relationships. I would write $500k deals and ink it on a handshake with a follow up email to confirm the agreement with a reply of yes that is what we agreed. We each trusted each other to hold up our end of the deal and that is what lead to other deals.
