Does a network marketing Internet business suit you better than going belly to belly? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Network marketing has been around for quite some time now. For most of that time things were done in a very particular way. Since there was not much modern technology to speak of back then it makes perfect sense that most business was conducted belly to belly. I mean early on, belly to belly was the only way that most people could actually communicate. There were telephones, but people still had not gotten comfortable with the idea of conducting business that way just yet.
In the beginning network marketing was mostly about networking. In other words traveling around town, going door to door and looking to make a sale or a connection for a potential sale. Eventually even looking to perhaps sign up a new distributor that would make sales, giving you the opportunity to make some overriding commissions. Those were the good old days where looking someone square in the eyes with a firm handshake was all that was needed to seal the deal. In many ways it was much simpler time where things moved along a lot slower. People were happy where they were and not in such a rush to get to the next place, then the next.
Then over time as technology began to move forward, some things started changing. The telephone was probably one of the first tools that saw a lot more use. When people realized that they could talk to 10 people in the same amount of time that it took them to make one house call it became what some call a "no brainer" It's pure math once you collected enough data. If it takes you 10 sales calls to make 1 sale and it takes 1 hour to make 10 sales calls over the phone, or 1 hour to make just 1 sales call in person. Well, you do the math. I'm sure that conducting business meetings in hotels was not far behind. Now you could invite 100 people to one meeting and if they all showed up you could earn in one day what you used to make all year. Things were starting to get easier. Or were they?
This warm/luke warm market approach often times began with prospecting your friends and family and then asking for referrals. Some business is still conducted that way today. For some reason though when it comes to network marketing this concept makes many people feel very uncomfortable. Perhaps, what they say is true. "Don't mix business with pleasure". It should also be noted that the current warm market methods of network marketing have a 97% failure rate. This is not my opinion but actual data. One of the definitions of insanity is "doing the same thing again and again, but expecting a different result" Well if 97% of the people that get started in network marketing are doing the same thing and 97% are failing, isn't it crazy to do the same thing, but to expect a different result. You basically have a 3% chance of success. If someone told you to jump out of a plane with a parachute, but said that you have a 3% chance of making to ground in one piece, would you do it? The answer is obvious.
So why do so many people still try to build their business in the fashion? That is a great question and I don't have an answer other than they just don't know any better. Hopefully this article will fall into the right hands at the right time and give some people an alternative way of building a network marketing business. This new method is called a Network Marketing Internet business and is the only hope for the 97%.
