Why I chucked the old school network methods

By John Wallen

I've been in the work at home industry for awhile, and have pursued this business in every way imaginable. Home/hotel meetings, cold calling business cards, dropping sizzle cards, buy leads, genealogy lists, fliers, classifieds, postcards? You name it.

Being a creative person is definitely a blessing, but I tend to be more logical more often than not. As I was learning from my sponsor and upline, I would experiment with and analyze what I was being taught. Over time, I made my conclusions about my business, and the way to build upon it. What worked for me.

The old ways of networking, and building a downline, I'm sure still work for some. What I'm doing works a hundred times better, this system I believe is the best. You might look at it, mumble and curse under your breath, but I think it's amazing.

The best target market for prospects consists of distributors and leaders who are already in the industry. Instead of cold calling them, a minimum of 15-20 were going to contact me daily, and this is exactly what is happening.

Chasing down people to convince them on joining my network business, was not part of my daily routine anymore. Effective copy writing is working a thousand times better, via email opt in, and the web, both at once. No more sitting on the phone all day long failing miserably.

Simply putting my energy and focus on a networking business opportunity, which could easily be non existent in five years, is crazy. Instead, I put more thought and energy into "you inc" building a list, my list, and working on a reputation with those on my list.

I wanted my list to become a virtual distribution channel. This would bring stability, and allow me to build another downline with the click of a mouse, should something ever happen to my primary opportunity.

This is in my opinion is the greatest sponsoring system ever put together. It might appeal to you, or it might not. All you can do is study it and decide for yourself. If you'd like to do that, you can get the free video boot camp series and take a look for yourself.
