Traditional Multi Level Marketing or MLM has always led with the exact same teachings across the board. I have not seen one change in any of the MLMs I have been involved in. My sponsor always told me the first thing I was to do was to make a list containing the names of my acquaintances. After that, I was told to contact everyone on that list and do a three way call with my up line or my direct sponsor. Once I got them on a phone call, they would then proceed to talk exclusively with my up line. At the time they finished talking to my direct sponsor they would then promise to come to a meeting.
I remember a time when I would arrive at my meeting and I would stand at the door patiently waiting for my guests. I was waiting for the guests who promised me they would attend my meeting. I was anxious to see those that would actually attend the meeting. I was also waiting for my cell phone to ring for those who were going to make excuses. After the presentation, I would ask my guests what they thought about the presentation. Most of my guests would say, "Sounds interesting." However, almost always when I asked my guests if they were ready they would say they did not have the money right now. Another excuse that was popular was they needed to talk it over with their spouse. They also used the excuse that they had a family member that was in the same business and it did not work out for them. I would think to myself here we go again. Another famous statement they would make was, "I am not a salesperson". The all time famous statement is, "Is this is a pyramid?" How many of you have heard those statements before? I know I have countless of times.
My sponsor would then tell me not to be discouraged and to apply the 3 foot rule. The 3 foot rule suggests that everyone I came within 3 feet of I would give them a card or try to pique their interest. I did recruit some people with this method but not a lot. While some of these techniques do work, it is a slow and arduous road to take.
Let us look at internet MLM. First, there are no lists to be called. There is no need for you to beg family or friends to come and attend the opportunity meetings. There are no flyers, no business cards and no rejections. As you can see, the differences are substantial. There are no products to sell or deliver. In the internet MLM everything is a push of a button. There is no need for you to recruit and sell. You do not have to convince anyone to join or deliver any products. Lastly, you do not have to wait in hotel lobbies for guests. I do not think I need to go any further, the differences are obvious. I know this is what lured me away from traditional MLM. I can truly call this a home based business!
Recently, I read a book that labeled MLM the new profession to be involved with as far as home based businesses. We who choose this career path need to decide which method is preferred. Look at both systems and decide which is better for you!
