21st Century Network Marketing Style
that saves you time while working less
Time keeps changing. Many methods of doing things 20 years ago have drastically changed. One good example is the mailing system. When was the last time you went to the post office to post a letter? Similarly, the network marketing style of 30 years back will not fit into the 21st century network marketing style of today.
Many people hate network marketing simply because it is not working for them. Such people most likely have struggled to produce satisfactory result using the method that is no longer effective in today’s world.
Not only that, some have tried to apply the 21st century network marketing strategy without knowing the rules. This often leads to poor result and giving up.
To help explain clearly what the 21st century network marketing style is, we will consider the topic under the following sub points:
21st century network marketing – what it is?
The 21st century network marketing is a style of network marketing in which the network marketer uses technological tools to attract the right prospects and automate the network marketing process.
When this is properly done, the right prospects are attracted and recruited independent of the presence, location and time of the network marketer.
Thus prospecting and recruiting or sales is readily concluded while the network marketer is having a vacation, conducting a seminar or while sleeping.
The 21st century network marketing style is contrastingly different from the network marketing of 30 years back commonly referred to as old school by many that have rightly adopted the 21st century network marketing style.
However, many who have tried adopting the 21st century network marketing rule wrongly, rather see things differently.
Benefits of the 21st century network marketing style
The 21st century network marketing system has many benefits when compared with the outdated network marketing style of the 20th century.
So what are these benefits?
Leveraging of technology:
When rightly used, you can reach in one hour the number of people you may not be able to reach in one year. On some days I have been able to reach over a hundred people without leaving my house. But you know that it will likely take me a month to reach such number of people if I am to go to them individually.
This does not include the fact that to see some the people would take me days because of where they are based.
Reaching a good number of people at once is a big advantage.
This is why home and hotel party events is a big advantage in the old school network marketing style. But it consumes more time and money to plan, prepare and host such parties.
It enables automation of the entire process:
With the 21st century network marketing style, automation of the entire process is easily enabled. The prospecting plan can be scheduled to run whether you are away on vacation or sleeping.
The recruiting or sales process can also be automated. The lead generation system as well as the follow up system can also be automated.
In fact, whoever is not using automation now is leaving his or her self far behind.
It enables prospects to be attracted to you instead of chasing after them:
It seems to me now that the network marketing styles of the yesteryears thrive in the negatives. However, I think they were limited by technology available to them at the time as well as lack of knowledge.
Else, how would one explain the encouragement to talk to everyone that comes across your way? How could someone continue to encourage another to go on suffering the embarrassment of rejection while chasing family, friends and strangers?
I remember the instruction of my up-line like it was only yesterday. She would tell me to make a list of 100 people from my phone. Then followed the memory jogger in which I would have to remember my mechanic, my children’s’ teachers, my tenants etc.
Of course, the going out for storming where fliers are shared in the market places and malls are not forgotten.
The looks in the eyes of some people as we behave without restrictions still make me a little embarrassment.
I think that even the monkey will most likely go after the person that is dangling banana before it than one with a stick poised to chase it.
It saves you money:
Technology is speedily becoming competitive to the advantage of the end user. The automation tools are becoming cheaper by the day. A number of free alternatives are free.
Just imagine the cost in terms of time and money to host a 100 people for example. Only a fraction of that cost can be used to reach the same number of people using the 21st century network marketing method.
It saves you time:
Promise of time freedom is one of the major reasons people enter into network marketing. But no sooner than you have joined you will find out that is a mirage if truly you want success.
The hotel meetings, the home party meetings and the marketing storms take away that time freedom fiercely from the network marketer.
Only the 21st century network marketing style can guarantee time freedom. This is because this system of networking enables your business to go on while you may be away with your family on vacation.
It should be noted that some time may be consumed at the initial stage as the setting up of the systems may take a while. But once it is set in place, it runs on its own.
21st century network marketing style – how to adopt it
So many people are becoming aware that now is the time to massively adopt the 21st century network marketing strategy. But unfortunately, many people are adopting it wrongly. This partly explains why so many people are not having success with it.
The entire detail of HOW to adopt it is beyond the scope of this write up.
But adopting it the proper way in order to see immediate result requires improving your knowledge of how it works. It may be better to get a mentor in order to save time and money.
Yes, many people don’t know that by trying to figure it out all alone, they spend more money. Some people spend as much as 9 years trying to figure things out for themselves.
And for many people like me, the breakeven point came after getting the right mentor. By the way I am looking for people to mentor. You can check the work with me section to see if we are a good fit to work together.
21st century network marketing style – when to adopt it
Now is the next best time to adopt it. The best time would have been the time you first heard of it. The sooner you adopt it the better for you and your business.
Conclusion
The 21st century network marketing style requires that people work smarter and not just harder. Have you rightly adopted this new system of networking?
Surely, you need to stop chasing people or should I say stop hunting people. Rather, position yourself so that people start looking for you.
It is time to dump that mind juggler. It is time drop that list of 100 people you know. It is time to stop spamming people.
We are taught not take no persona – that is great. But how many people are able to handle that without hard feelings?
If it is no longer fashionable to write a letter, stamp it and take it to the post office for posting; so it is not fanciful to go out there in the street prospecting total stranger. Any wonder why many people disdain network marketers?
I would love to share with you the much I know which is helping to do well if you are interested. After all, in network marketing, we are stronger together. We grow better together. And a team is stronger and better than individual.
