This is a great blog and great advice although in some ways I disagree. Because of my past relationships and mantel heath problems I have been avoiding people most of my life (scenes I was 6 years old) I’m now 31 and I have spend most of my life online and I have gained friends & “family” online that I would die for. I just never have been able to get along with people offline in my area. I agree about the “family like relationships” you get with people offline and it helping people stick together although people online can have the same relationship just as you said above “the internet has brought to the marketplace an entirely new breed of entrepreneurs.” will that new breed of entrepreneurs need to step up to the plate and use the full potential of the internet and advanced technology of modern times to make the most of it to better the MLM industry not live in the past.

Just because someone who has never created the same brand loyalty, residual wealth, and leverage through ONLY the internet doesn’t means it is imposable to do that. In the 1960s the internet did not exist in the IT industry but that did not mean that it was imposable to have the internet the inverters of ARPANET proved that.

Undoubtedly the most profound thing I have heard from you. I have been studying the “online lead gen” and “attraction marketing” models as I have been generating leads and I can say that most people are not going to have what it takes, mor the time to do even what I have done online. But they can learn how to talk to a real warm market, not just friends and family. Mark Yarnell puts it simple here “Create expansive warm markets for novices”

There are 80 million baby boomers out there right now that need to make money in network marketing. If they try to master Guru status and Internet Marketing, it could take them YEARS and if they focus on some Core principles, they could be making six figures in a year…. Just sayin.

Thanks for this Dave. Very cool.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for setting the world on fire with this one. But I tell you David, some interesting stuff is happening down here in Latin America.
You should check out what Erick Gamio is talking about in the previous comment. We’re making our own way and It has worked nicely! “Offline Attraction Marketing” as Erick said. I’m sure you will like it.

Chao, que estés bien!

Dave,
Thank GOD you came out with this. Any REAL Networker would get this. Down here in Latin America, the highest selling course of MLM is “Offline Attraction Marketing”. We had to go back to basics but with a few tweeks here and there… I´m going to send you an e-mail, because I know this course will add a lot of value to you and your team, as you have added value to mine. I created the course

Pura Vida!,

I agree networking and face to face contact even cold calling all these things are old fashioned and they work!

David you are 100% right, it’s impossible to achieve the freedom network marketing offers trying to build a business 100% online, I’ve learned from my mentor Mark Yarnell, that the fundamentals of this business are built on talking to people 2 hrs a day about our business opportunity and products, he says “if you don’t talk to humans beings during 2 hrs a day you can’t build a successful business long term “. I think the internet is a great tool to build relationships, pre-qualify good prospects and build our list, then we need to contact those prospects and learn about they need, what they want or not want and based on that help them with the solution that we can offer through our legitimate products and opportunity.
Thank you so much David for your excellent work.

Thanks David,
I like your post because I believe that true relationships are one to one but we cant always embrace people face to face because of limitations on their distance and location that’s why online marketing should be embraced as a back up tool to enhance off line marketing.

Right on Dave! You’ve got to develop some offline skills before you can be successful online. I love your honesty and appreciate you buddy!

Yes! We were training the other day on teaching our teams networking and the art of learning speaking to people with a large sphere of influence.

If people can just learn a couple key things like getting people of influence talking about their passions to open them up, honestly give a hoot about what they’re saying, and then offer a solution to their problems or desires…the energy and posture (fearlessness) just comes with practice, ya know?

What I got from this blog is what I see a lot; some folks just don’t want to pay their ‘$10 at the door’ to learn this.

Thanks for tellin’ it like it is, D. I’m committed to assisting as many as I can to care, connect, and create.

Cheers,
Dave

Hey David,

You made some valid points here. As a matter of fact I was more successful at marketing offline meeting people in different areas, despite the fact I looked like I was preying on people lol.

But we can never forget the old school way of doing network marketing. Like you said it has worked for 70 years, its just that the internet made it more convenient for us to talk to different people. It’s the icing on the cake.
