| | It Takes Relationships NOT SalesWritten by Lois R. Thompson
The Superhighway now offers us convenience of operating our MLM from desk top of our computer. No longer are we required to attend meetings, stock products, or do inventory. No longer do we prospect face to face. However, this convenience now poses some new challenges.Network Marketing/MLM is a people business, a relationship building enterprise. Statistics show that most people join a MLM opportunity NOT because of product, compensation plan or company, but because of Integrity of their sponsor. With ease of Internet we have become so automated that we have forgotten personal touch need to establish integrity with our prospects, necessary for building Any MLM Organization. We have lost personal connection needed to build trust with our prospects. How do we re-connect? how do we establish trust with our prospect? Contrary to hype, focus of MLM'ers Should be on building online relationships with your prospects, NOT on attempting to get next sign-up.
