EMERGING NETWORK MARKETING TREND

Warning!

Resistance is futile... The kind of information I am going to share with

you right now might come back to bite you in the butt one day if you don't

listen closely.

I believe the time has come for all Network Marketers to realize there is

an emerging trend within the industry the realization of which will

transform the way we do business in Network Marketing. The World Wide Web

has proven to be the largest and most effective networking platform on the

planet. That we know as fact! Accessing the Internet and the Web was quite

a task in the past but today, it is readily available almost anywhere on

the planet. Literally hundreds of millions of people use the Internet on a

daily basis to communicate, to share information, to exchange thoughts,

ideas, education, pictures, videos and yes, even to Promote Products and

Services.

So where do Network Marketers fit into this equation?

How can we use this knowledge to help us build a stronger business?

First, let's review some fundamentals and let's agree on the following:

-

The Internet is not going away anytime soon. Internet is here to stay! As

a matter of fact, you might want to consider that The Internet is going to

go down as the most important communication tool of the 21st Century.

-

We all live in a smaller neighborhood thanks to the Internet. It's called

the World!

-

Technologies and Software developments have reached a point where today

Network Marketing Companies are easily able to integrate business

processes for their network of independent entrepreneurs like you and I.

Here are only a few examples: Personal Websites with Flash Presentations,

Reporting and Document Downloading, E-mail and e-Card Broadcasting,

Streaming Audio and Video feeds, Virtual Conferencing and much more...

-

The learning curve to use the Internet is way shorter and easier than it's

ever been.

-

More and more Network Marketing entrepreneurs are using an ever growing

number of Internet Services and tools to communicate.

-

Last but not least, there is an ever growing number of these entrepreneurs

who have chosen to create their own websites (more on your personal website

later)

You and I must look at the Internet as one Big Piece of Real Estate. Our

knowledge and use of it will determine how much of this Real Estate we

will own in the future.

Bill Gates says:

"A wealthy person is somebody who has the ability to see the obvious

before everybody else does."

INTERNET PROSPECTING AS A BUSINESS

I don't claim to be smarter than Bill Gates but I do see an obvious trend

happening today. About 10 years ago, the Internet gave birth to the MLM

and Network Marketing INTERNET PROSPECTING Industry. This recent trend has

created a whole new industry. Many service and marketing companies have

been born out of this new trend and the subsequent demand it created. They

have designed and built websites and systems in order to prospect and

generate leads for MLM, Network Marketing, Direct Sales Companies and

their Distributors. Some of the better known Internet Prospecting

Companies are [http://www.growthpro.com/] Growth Pro,

[http://www.mlm-leads-generation.com/] Prospect Connect and

[http://www.mlmbrilliance.com/] MLM Brilliance.

Available primarily in English, these companies charge anywhere from

$19.95 per month upwards to $39.95 per month just to provide their

customers a Prospecting Website. Customers must, however, populate the

contact management database with their own prospects as a rule. Other

companies will charge anywhere from $70 to $200 per month for a

Prospecting Website with pre-qualified leads. As an example, you might

want 15 leads per month to be included with your website @ $70 per month

OR 100 leads to be included @ $200 per month. Don't kid yourself; there

are thousands of Network Marketers who pay these fees simply because they

no longer want to be bothered with prospecting on their own.

When you think of prospecting, I suggest you think outside the box of

"what you know" or "what you know that you don't

know". Remember there exists a domain called "That which you

don't even know that you don't know yet" and it's far greater than

the former two domains listed here. Look at prospecting like a wheel with

many spokes attached to it and every spoke of this prospecting wheel will

help you build your business. As a whole, these spokes keep the wheel

turning in balance. Here are a few Prospecting spokes that come to mind

immediately but there are undoubtedly many many more:

-

Family members, friends and current business associates

-

Past co-workers, co-students, teachers, etc.

-

Suppliers are a good source of prospects seeing as they are the people you

hand over your hard earned money to. Your dentist, your insurance and real

estate agents, doctor, lawyer, accountant, banker, etc.

-

Cold Market Prospecting also ensures you keep your prospect list full at

all times (spontaneous introductions, newspaper advertising, sizzle cards,

flyers, business cards, Bulletin boards, etc.

My point is that there is a multitude of ways to build and maintain an

ongoing list of prospects. The question you may want to ask yourself is:

"What kind of prospect list am I attracting into my life and why am I

attracting it?" (especially if your list is not constantly renewing

and full)
