The old school ways spent me out of my business

One day you start thinking. It would be nice to be your own boss, and work from the comfort of your own home. So you set up an office area, computer fax, printer, all the things you would need to run your own home business.

Then you start your search. You get online and browse the different directories, buy a couple opportunity magazines, look through a few ezines, even look through the online classifieds. You start to get a bunch of information you requested in your email box, and even get a few phone calls from some pushy reps.

You start to look harder and harder at all the different companies. The different compensation packages. You analyze each companies product line. You think some more, than finally you’ve made your decision. And there you have it, your now an affiliate of one of the best companies on the internet.

You get into your new online back office with all the marketing tools, fool around there for awhile. Go over the comp plan and make sure you have it down. Sit through some archived training to get inspired. Then finally your sponsor calls or sends an email with his contact info.

Now your going to find out first hand how to make money with your new business. The sizzle cards, your personalized company card, maybe even postcards. And don’t forget to make that list of at least 100 people you know, that’s a must he will definitely tell you. They will be the ones to approach first.

None of that seems to be working like it’s suppose to. Your friends are avoiding you, your family is no where to be found. You know your last resort is to buy some leads and push past your comfort zone, and call these supposed prospects. You rattle on never hearing the click of them hanging up. More money wasted.

The old school ways just don’t work. Maybe for a few pit bull type reps working 12 hours a day relentlessly. But for most people trying to grow their home business, old school networking fails every time.

That was an all to familiar experience for me, and maybe you can say the same. But what happened for me was, I came across a complete marketing system while browsing an ezine one morning, and my business has grown full time. This can be put to use in any home business. Your networking will never be the same!
