Hello Network Marketers, Home-Based Biz people, readers from across the globe, mom….

Some Background.  I am just the messenger here.  It’s a message available in other places, sometimes for a considerable chunk of your finances.  I will condense it, and lead you to the more detailed sources, if you desire.  My experience in Network Marketing spans the last 27 years, with large gaps called ‘the discouraging times.’

Every time I was led down the path (willingly) and felt I had a good vison of what I needed to do.  Every time I was told to put together a list of freinds, well, basically everyone I knew.  I did it.

It’s a flawed strategy.  Those people on the list are no more likely to want to do Network Marketing than they are Water Polo, Origami or Squirrel Hunting.  And you do get discouraged eventually, after so many of them turn you down cold.

Also, naturally we get excited about a concept, a product, or biz-op, and we tend to run out and talk our friends into doing it.  Bad idea.  Yes, I have done it.  The more I chase them, and talk them into it, the more they turn tail and run.  Human nature.  Real nature.  Deer hunters..same feeling as when a white tail bounces out of your sight (sights).    Darn.

So what is this new teaching?  Not so new, btw.  #1, the BEST way.

Share your biz,by getting permission first, with …..da, da da DAHH!  Network Marketers.  Yeps, that’s right, bucky.  It’s your target market.

How?  Try a phone.  There is training available.  Click on the  links on my site.  They should be very obvious.  Follow the CDs.  Plug in to this great system.  Power Recruit.  Build a strong organization.  My opinion here, THE best way.

#2 How else you ask?  Well in  this day and age, there is of course (prepare for a shocker) the computer.  Not the best perhaps, unless you are some kind of puter guru, or super-internet marketer.  On the other hand, those types will tell you it IS the best.  So it is an option, and I can point you in the right direction there, as well.

Most, if not all Network Marketing Companies have replicated sites.  Some are good, and guess what?  (For those of you drinking swampwaters at 11 AM or with one eye on the FL-FL ST game)  Some are NOT.  To assess your company site and/or marketing materials, the same training I mentioned above will have tapes available that cover this (and many other) subjects.

If you can get people to your persuasive site, (the big IF), it can be golden.

Some are forced to build their own sites.  That is a bit over my head, so I will not guide you on that.

To get attention, and build using a ‘new’ strategy, consider the fabulous…blog-site.  Consider it?  Heck, you are on one.  On my site, I expect that you will read some, and make a decision as to whether I can write a lick, or whether this is the type of info/topic that interests you.  You MAY come back.  (I hope, I hope)

Meanwhile, you are getting to know me, some.  I hope I earn a postion a bit higher then the auto-responder emailers, that pound out thousands of their messages.  Yes, I HAVE done that, too btw, and MAY do it again.  I view my site as a sorta buffet, where you choose something that interests you, and choose not, something else.  You likey, come back.  No, make like that white-tail above.

So, to find out more about the blog option, follow the links on my site.  See how simple they make it?  Now, I feel the need to point out.  I will NOT say go to this link, if I don’t already use the company/biz/technique.  I am not a blog-site ‘gun-for-hire’. 

That way, you can email and ask questions about these links, and I will respond.  rickemmerich@  I suggest ’m’.  Now, see what I just did.  It was open, vulnerable, maybe borderline stupid.  FYI, I am extreeeeemely happy with my company.  I suggest you check it out.  I get to say that.  I am NOT interested in your ‘deal’.  I am unrecruitable for ‘your deal.’

Oh yeah, the other way, #3, that works for Network Marketers?  The old-fashioned way:  Meetings.  There are two kinds.  Home meetings. 

Plan A.  OK fellow past Amway Quixtar peeps.  Remember the white board in the living room trick?  Well, it HAS worked.  Gather some people and do a presentation.  I love being in front of others for that sort of a presentation.  It can be casual, like on the couch with a DVD in the player.  Obviously though, not everyone loves presenting it. 

For sure, not everyone likes being there.  If you lied or used Jedi Mind Tricks to get them there, you will lie to them when they are your downline.  And at least I feel,  that’s bad.

If you DO and want to do it, remember, it is time-consuming.  We know too that we are  at the mercy of people that may decide NOT to show up.  If your company materials are not up to par, and you are depending on them to do the work, good luck.  Keep in mind, that if you are NOT hitting your target market with your invites (network marketers) then your efforts may only produce some customers.  If you are fine with that, go for it. 

aaaaand Plan B.  You company MAY have big hotel ballroom meetings all over the country, and perhaps even in that hockey-playin’ country up nort.  Ours does.   

A couple of guidelines.  You can only BE at the meetings in your own areas (unless you have a lot of frequent flyer miles).  You CAN send your friends to other area meetings but keep in mind:  brief them first.  Your group probably won’t be sponsoring it.  Your person MAY hear something there that you will have to correct/refute.  There could be sharks swimmin’ around there.  Relax all of you in Maui, or Daytona Beach.  I mean the types that will try to sway your person into joining THEIR downline.  Innocently or not. 

You want your person to know your name, company ID#, and cell number when they go to another group’s or company sponsored meeting.  Urge them to use any or all of the 3.

And, head them off at the pass before they start writing that list.
