Old School vs. New School
Everyone that has EVER been involved in Network Marketing has been exposed to the traditional Old School marketing techniques. What are the Old School techniques? You know what I'm talking about. Doing the whole belly to belly "3 foot rule" thing where you go out every day making contact with everyone that looks like it might be worth your time to present your business opportunity to. And the all so popular making a list of your friends and family and going through your "warm market".
There is also the holding home meetings and doing demonstrations form of trying to build your business.
I remember when I was a kid, my Mother going to Tupperware and Avon parties. The list goes on and on as far as marketing strategies go and although there are people that build very successful organizations using the Old School methods, they are outdated and only work for certain personality types. I mean really, how many people can you run into during the day working the malls and grocery store. Most people are working their 9-5 trying to provide for their families while you are out pounding the pavement. And out of the people that you do make contact with, how many of them are really going to be interested in what you have to present to them. I remember after trying to use these techniques and having ZERO success, my upline telling me that it might be time to pick up the phone book and start cold calling people over the phone. Really I didn't start a home based business to be a telemarketer.
