Successful Network Marketing requires many things but one of the most important of all is to get started.A lot of people put off prospecting and making contact calls because of FEAR.Well fear really means false evidence appearing real so just do it and make those calls .The more you make the easier it becomes to the point where you actually enjoy making new contacts and prospecting calls.One of the best ways to think about prospecting is to linken it to fishing.

You have to have various lures in your tackle box and which particular fish could be caught with each lure. I've learned how important it is to have several 'lines in the water' because we simply don't where our prospects will come from or what will pique their interest.There are countless lures you can throw out there, including:

Initiating conversations with people you know, face-to-face
Telephoning people you know
Sending a personal letter to people you know
Running a small, classified ad directing people to your voicemail
Purchasing lists for a direct mailing
Asking friends and family members for referrals
Posting flyers
Conducting an opinion survey
Leaving business cards everywhere
Participating in a lead co-op
Operating a booth at a fair or convention
Sticking audio tapes under windshield wipers
Mailing postcards
Internet promotion

The lures in your Network Marketing tackle box are many and varied. They can cost nothing but your time or expand to sophisticated advertising campaigns that are very expensive. The important point is that you must always have several (at least three) lines in the water!

You are the one casting the lines so it's up to you to determine which lures best fit your talents and financial resources. With some testing, you'll learn which lures pull for you.

Remember, fish are comfortable where they are. They're not going to just jump in your boat. And chances are pretty slim that your upline is going to fill your boat with fish for you. So go ahead post a note on your office door ' 'GONE FISHIN!'
