The Internet has obliterated the old-fashioned method of network marketing: badgering family, friends, and co-workers in order to get them to buy some products. Now, you will never have to hound anyone again. By harnessing the power of the Internet, you can draw prospects from all over the world to your web site. Your marketing is done for you via your web site and the automated features that the Internet offers.

Develop a system and schedule for following up with your prospects, and keep your business fresh on their minds.
