Old School Network Marketing techniques include most of the ones you are probably already familiar with or at least have heard about.  They include techniques such as creating a list of friends and family (known as your warm list), creating a list of everyone you know, working these lists, placing door hangers, sending out flyers, holding meetings at peoples homes or at hotels, leaving drop cards, cold calling, and approaching everyone within 3 feet.

Did they work for you?  They don’t for most people so don’t feel alone.

When I joined my earlier MLM programs, I was told these and similar techniques.  The main thrust was to contact as many people as I could and determine if they were interested in making some additional money and then sign them up into my program.  I was told that everyone was a potential enrollee.  After all, didn’t everyone want to make some extra money?

Unfortunately, I quickly found out that following the techniques I was taught was the quickest way to become a member of the NFL (No Friends Left) club.  Everyone quickly kept their distance, wouldn’t answer their phones, nor return calls from voice mail messages.

Buy opportunity leads and call them was the response from my upline.  “The more you call the more people you will sponsor, remember this is a numbers game,” he said.  Sure you will get some rejection, but don’t let it bother you.  Just consider each rejection as one more call closer to getting a “yes” response.

Yet hostile responses, hung up phones, and just plain more rejections were my reward for following this guidance.  And I found that most of these supposedly opportunity seekers were nothing of the sort.  Most has no idea how they had gotten on my list and had no interest in anything having to do with MLM.

Now I was getting deeper and deeper into debt purchasing leads and had zero to show for it.

Due to all the rejection and inability to sponsor new members, I quit the industry for a period of time until one day I stumbled upon a new method of Multi Level Marketing recruiting.  The new techniques used the Internet and social marketing to attract prospects to me.

Instead of attempting to offer my program to everyone and anyone, I learned how to provide useful information to a targeted audience, build a relationship with them and have them ask me about how to join my program using attraction marketing techniques.

{So, if the old school Multi Level Marketing tactics are not working for you, I strongly suggest that you take a look at the new school attraction marketing methods and don’t be held back by obsolete marketing tacktic, or at least marketing techniques that aren’t working for you.}
