Old School" MLM Methods Still Work...REALLY Well

I know you understand how powerful the internet is. It's the most important communication development in the history of mankind. It connects people-with-people and people-with-information faster, cheaper, easier and more powerfully than any of us ever dreamed would be possible just 20 years ago.
The opportunities for business growth that network marketers like us can gain from the proper use of this powerful tool are quite simply limitless .
But Have You Noticed Something About the Top Network Marketers?
I've been looking very carefully at the network marketers who are really killing it in the "Facebook Era". The MLMers who are building the biggest downlines and achieving solid success in this "Online Age". And you know what I've noticed?
Almost every single one of them are still doing these things:
  • showing their business at house parties
  • presenting their plans at coffee shops
  • conducting hotel meetings
  • making phone calls
  • meeting people at the mall, at the grocery store , everywhere they go in "meat space" (as opposed to "cyber space")
...and expediting their prospecting and follow up and administrative work with online tools.
And here's why: The internet is just a tool . It is not the answer to every question. It's a great tool. But it can never take the place of human interaction in our business. I've always thought the word "network" in network marketing meant you had to make a human connection with people before they will trust you enough to join your team.
