Has network marketing left a bad taste in your mouth?  More likely than not, when you hear the words MLM or network marketing, you head straight for the first door you see.  Sure, some lucky people somehow make it happen right out of the gate.  But the mass majority of us will likely stumble upon some pretty rough road blocks along the way.  If you’ve sworn you’d never try network marketing, (or never try network marketing again) read on.  What you are about to hear is going to change the way you view network marketing and MLM forever.

The Old School Of Network Marketing

Amazingly enough, most people in network marketing are working way too hard instead of working smart.  It blows my mind that people are still dressing up in business suits and attending meetings at hotels and coffee and shops.  They are also personally training each person in their downline.  What a waste of time!  One reason people are drawn to network marketing is the time freedom everyone claims it provides.  But the way I see it, this process is just as time consuming as working a corporate job.  As your business grows, so does your commitment to be away from home.

Network Marketing- The New School Way

If you catch me at my home office on a typical day, I’ll be wearing yoga pants and no makeup besides mascara.  I retired my business suits the same day I retired my job.  The mere thought of hotel meetings make me nauseous.  Yet I have hundreds of people on my team who are able to duplicate exactly what I do and multiply their business without any of the old school practices.

Internet Marketing vs. Warm Market Leads

You know that sinking feeling you used to get in your stomach before you made your first cold call?  It was the same sinking feeling you experienced when you told someone your rehearsed speech to the question, “What do you do?”  You can forget the elevator speech and throw your list of 100 top prospects out the window. Why should you lose friends over trying to convince them to check out your business?  Millions of people are searching for exactly what you have online every single day.  Internet marketing is the wave of the future.  There are an unlimited number of ways to attract hot prospects to you.

Leveraging Your Time

So you tried this whole network marketing thing for a while.  You attended the training meetings long enough that they asked you to start sharing every week.  Once a week turns into training two times per week.  Before you know it, your “time freedom” is actually a trap door.  The trick is to plug into a team that conducts training over the internet.  Webinar trainings can be held anytime, anywhere.  Hundreds of people from California to New York can all be on the same call, in the comfort of home.  And should someone miss a call, there’s no reason to worry!  Recording training calls is as easy as 1-2-3!  These calls can be archived and accessed by anyone at a later time or date.

Network Duplication

Duplicating the success of others is the fastest way to achieve great results.  Isaac Newton had it right when he said, “If I have seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants”.  Find out what works for other people in the industry and follow what they do.  The network marketing industry has been around for longer than you may know.  Many things have changed with the time, so stay up to date with strategies that work the best right now.  Practice and an open mind will lead you to absolute success.
