It's Shameful To Be A Selective Capitalist

Have you shared your MLM or Network Marketing opportunity with your family, friends and business associates? If not, why not?

There is no nobility in being a "selective capitalist" or closet network marketer. If your primary program is truly great why wouldn't you want to share it with the people you love and care the most about? If you stumbled across an abandoned gold mine and after a little exploration uncovered a room filled from floor to ceiling with gold bars; wouldn't you call the people you care about the most and invite them to help you haul out the load and share the prosperity?

There is a mistake made by many up-lines and MLM Guru's who force their down lines to choose between "warm market," those you know (or the three foot rule) and "cold market," most often cultivated via the Internet and through cold list building techniques. I think this is mistake as it eliminates a significant opportunity to build a massive down line either direction you choose. So my advice is to do both and to work within a system that will create predictable results and ensure your success.

I read the following from Joe Schroeder's Warrior's Nest manual "The Cowboy Code," on page 6:

"I also learned that within what you may consider you are failing at, therein lies a truth which if painstakingly discovered, by simply tweaking your failure minimally by a percentage, can totally shift you from failure to home run. Because isn't that what Thomas Edison did?"

If warm market is not working for you avoid the temptation to declare it pointless and turn away to cold market exclusively. Follow Joe Schroeder's advice and make a 3% adjustment in your approach. Try going deeper with your prospects by helping them explore the gaps in their lives and how your program can help bridge those gaps.

If your cold market strategy is not working for you consider Joe Schroeder's Theatre of Prosperity and Speed Enrollers program. The key to cold market is authenticity, integrity and a value added system that yields predictable results.

MLM is more than just a good idea, it is a God idea in principle because it provides the widest number of individuals to transform their lives with very few barriers to enter into a serious career in network marketing. I encourage you not to be selective in sharing the blessings found abundantly in our amazing industry.
