5..They have a well defined system for taking those leads through an information process about their products and/or business plan.

Make a plan. Know what you are going to say to people when you first introduce them to your product or business. Include ways to interest them into taking next step in finding out more. Know what that next step is so you are prepared to show it to them when they are ready. Take them through your information process and then ask them to make a decision on information you have given them.

At some point, you're going to have to look for a commitment from your leads. Are they going to buy product or join your organization or not?

6. They know where to spend most of their time and effort.

Most people you present a network marketing business plan to will not be interested. Some will show interest, but never commit. Others will commit, but then not do much. One in a hundred or more will become a valuable part of your organization.

You cannot treat all prospects same. Know where your greatest potential lies and spend most time with it. I don't mean this to sound as if you shouldn't care about others you talk to, just that those with most interest deserve more of your time --- for both their good and yours.

Obviously, Internet and tools it provides can help you to automate much of a network marketing business. However, I believe you still need to keep it personal. Stay involved, know your stuff, and be there to make it real for people who want to work with you.

A network marketing opportunity can make you rich, but first you must enrich it.

In other words, you'll get out of it what you put in to it. However, by it's basic design it can bring you more reward for your efforts than other business plans.

Which just means it's worth your time to learn, plan, and do it right way. To succeed will take time and commitment.

Plan for it.
