Even with traditional brick and mortar business there is rarely the kind of help you get in a network marketing company.  There are merchant associations but nothing like MLM.  When your up-line says you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself, it’s really true. Up-lines, cross-lines and even down-line people will offer help, encouragement and a positive attitude as you grow.

Being around other positive people who are making things happen is my favorite part. I do not find that on my job, in the news or the world in general. Rallies and meetings are an escape from the doom and gloom of most people’s ordinary lives. It’s hard to be a victim when you’re out meeting, prospecting, selling!

As an old school network marketer this is how I’ve been brought up in the business.  It works for me and many others who have done really well.  But times are changing and the internet is here to stay. More people will read this article this month than I could possibly talk to (that I haven’t already) about my MLM opportunity.  So, why not use the internet in conjunction with the basic techniques?

When people who are already interested find you, it makes you a much more effective marketer.  Your posture is different. You can actually qualify people to work with you. It’s usually very positive when someone calls you.

Remember when you were told that in your own business you can decide who to work with? Well I could never reconcile that with pitching everyone in a three foot radius but I did it anyway because I wanted to follow the advice of those who had come before me. I presented to everyone from Uncle Leroy to the cashier waiting for a price check knowing that I probably wouldn’t want to work with either of them.

Now things are different. Using techniques in Magnetic Sponsoring you can branch out from the small world you live in to reach more interested (and interesting) people. Your sphere of influence can be exponentially increased.

But don’t forget that, first and foremost, network marketing is all about your team.

All the best,
