Just got off the phone with a fellow in my business, well sort of.
And he was saying how broke he is and how his Credit Cards are restricted
because of exceeding the limit, in short he has no money..
So I said we will call him John, here is what I suggest, You know that flyer
I sent out yesterday for Sendoutcards to you all, you have the paper and ink and the time and besides that it will feel good to get out and do this.
I said this where the pride goes in the waste basket. Take those flyers, and go
to every office and business you can and leave them with the receptionist or whoever, and ask who you would contact to follow up, who looks after customer marketing or appreciation etc. Take the cards, and call the next day to follow up,
who knows the receptionist herself might like it. Besides its Christmas time, over $2 Billion dollars in cards will be mailed in the next six weeks. We can get a part of that, its prime time.
I said John it will cost you only time, which obviously isn't making you much right now, and it will only take a few hours out of your day.
Lets see if he will do it. I told him I am doing this and I certainly don't need the income, but love the challenge to see what happens, could be surprises. Been there before.
And its good to get out and a way to talk and meet people. Its amazing what you run into and learn.
So no money isn't really an excuse is it, its crying the blues, so at a time like that you need to be creative and smart and use what resourses you have.
I could make a long list of the items and things I had to market in my life of 62 years
and always served me well in a bad time. through doing that I learned to be very creative and productive. Doing the things others won't do, got me huge success, today.
Just a thought for today.

A good book on learning to become conversational with people for the purposes of Multi-Level Marketing is Mike Oliver's:
"Natural Selling" How to sell Network Marketing without fear, anxiety or losing your friends!
You can read about Mike at his site "NatrualSelling.com", but the book is less expensive at Amazon
See what you think.

Thanks for all the posts.
I'm not an expert but I'm working a full-time job while trying to look at online mlm because of time.
Not having enough time in the day to recruit. And remembering that whatever I do should be duplicatible.
I pass out flyers and business cards. I must pass out a lot to get any response.
When I see someone prospecting offline. I give them lots of credit. Not everyone has the time or confidence to do it. The earlier you experience success probably the better one maybe.
Maybe that's why most fail online.
I'll come back and read the link again. Anything that will honestly help I would like to know.

Take the risk, and go beyond your comfort zone, I wasn't always comfortable with it,
but learned to just do it, bit by bit. I pushed myself years ago.
Now its easy. I became good at it just by doing it again and again.
If I believe in what I am selling or doing and excited and enthused, you can't stop me.
I can't wait to tell everyone, so get excited and just do it.
Know your product well, and do what others won't do.
And start by asking the questions.
Also you can pass out a million flyers, but the problem is most sit and wait for the return, I pass out flyers but then get a bus. card or something to call and follow up. If you are going to put out all those flyers, that is only half the job.
I would say most of my success in this industry is because of persistent follow up.
That's where your success will come from in this in anything in direct sales.
Good Luck,
Mary

Because a lot of what we do involves traditional Cold Calling and relationship building I prefer to follow the principles found in two books:
Cold Calling Techniques by Steve Schiffman
and
Heat Up Your Cold Calls by George Walther
These are great books that teach you to break through the initial barriers and objections and get to the point where you can do what's most important in your business which is sales

I think Andyftg has the right idea, you should have a few reaching out methods that you are utilizing to grow your business, the more rods in the pond, the better chances of catching a fish. And you should utilize fishing rods that are comfortable for you. Some people are very comfortable talking with people they don't know, most are not comfortable. Some enjoy talking to their friends and family and some do not enjoy it at all. You should choose 3 to 5 reaching out methods that you are comfortible with and that you even like doing, and do them all the time. Although I think it is necessary to stretch yourself a little outside your comfort zone, you shouldn't step way outside your comfort zone.
I once had a young man approach me in the grocery store asking me if I was interested in making extra money on the side. He was from another MLM company, and I was truthfully very impressed with him. He was fidgety, nervous, and downright frightened. I don't think that sells future prospects well because it make them nervous too, but I have the utmost respect for that young man because he stood alteast a mile outside his comfort zone. I just don't think it was necessary for him to go through that. I informed him I was already in another business and I wished him the best of luck with his business.
