It's the best of times, it's the worst of times

[Kurt]

There are two good things that have helped the MLM industry, and
There are two bad things that have hurt the MLM industry.

The odd thing is, they are the SAME two things!

The first one is the Internet.

It has been both a blessing and a curse to MLM business builders.
Among the good things about the Internet is that a person can build
their business without hotel meetings, personal contacting at public
places, etc.

As good as that is, it's also a "bad thing" because there are so many
other places for you and thus your downline to be distracted by. So,
it's easier to enroll someone and it's easier to lose someone. In
fact, it's probably easier to lose someone to the "next big deal" they
see than it is to enroll someone.

The second one is the mobile phone.

The good part is that people are almost always accessible not to
mention that they have an on-hand phone listing of all their friends
right in their mobile device.

The bad part is the same old thing that has always plagued networkers,
i.e. you have to USE the phone. Many Networkers THINK about using the
phone but few do, and with the Internet, there is this false idea that
you can just send someone to your MLM website. That myth has caused
even more people to not get on the phone or in person with their
prospects.

If there is a message that rings true through all the ages for ANY
business, MLM or not, and that is, that without personal contact,
there is no LASTING business.

Those who can look at the phone and the Internet as tools, not as a
replacement for work, they are the ones who will build strong and
lasting residual income.

I have subscribed to one of the best business building "tools" that I
think I've ever seen. I call it my "front door". If you care to see
it, you can at http://partnerwith.grossinternational.com . But, in
short, it's the place where I now send all potential business
partners, but there is a nice BONUS to this "tool" that is the real
beauty of it.

Every email solicitation I get, and we all get a ton of them, right?
I send all of them to my "Front Door" as my filter. Why? Because
they too need this "tool" to build their MLM empire, so it will both
filter out the tire-kickers AND it will offer them something that they
might be interested in to build their business, the one they were
hoping I would join.

These are the "one way marketers" as I like to call them. They are
ONLY interested in THEM telling YOU about THEIR business. They have
no interest in hearing about your business. That's fine, but it's when
the ACT like they are so that they can switch you over to theirs is
when I have a problem. Well, this "tool" solves that issues and it is
enabling me to build an extra income from these "one way marketers".

Solving problems IS the name of the game, right?

The journey continues . . . .
