Dear Friend:

In the current economic climate, is it not obvious that we all need a Plan B?

Does it not appear that the old model of obtaining a job working at it for a lifetime and earning a pension has gone by the way side? We are all required to be more resourceful than ever before in obtaining the financial wherewithal for ourselves and our families.

1. The network marketing model is available for any number and sorts of products and services. Find one that suits your fancy and get involved. Here is a great comprehensive site that can provide information toward this end: http://ezinearticles.com/ ,rich with encyclopedic content and pertinent articles.

2. The one on one approach to presenting your product/service or business opportunity seems passé. I certainly tired quickly bugging my friends and relatives about something of which they knew nothing nor had even the slightest interest. Unfortunately, most people are by nature unimaginative.

3. You need to efficiently sort through many rather than spend precious time trying to convince one or two. You may have to go through 200-300 prospects just to find one qualified and interested business partner. I use e-mail leads from opt-in candidates procured that expressed interest in home-based businesses from reliable lead brokers. Qualified leads number into the thousands and are relatively inexpensive. It is best to work with a company that not only provides the leads but provide autoresponder services to allow you to get your messages, much like this one, to the many prospects quickly and efficiently. You need a comprehensive approach to the help get around spam issues and professionally handle those that choose not to receive further communication from you. The leads should not be much older than 15 days. It is better is you have a leads provider that can get you geographically targeted leads, as of course it is easier to work with prospects ‘one on one’ who are in the immediate vicinity. I have had great success in acquiring reliable leads from many reputable sources found in the marketplace

4. Before joining any network marketing organization , make sure that you that read the conduct rules pertaining to advertising to determine how much latitude you have for using a variety of media to advertise your business opportunity or service. While staying within the rules, be as creative and as innovative as possible regarding your campaign of making your business grow.

5. Reputable firms will rent you the thousands of names for your particular campaign and will do all of the ‘heavy lifting’ for you. They will have advice as to the letter or notice that you plan to disseminate so as to make sure that mailings do not find themselves in ‘spam folders’. They will also advise you on preparing a mailing that will get the prospect’s attention increasing the chances that it will be opened and read. Like most campaigns of this nature, it is a numbers game. If you have a good product or service a small percentage of several thousand will respond and will use your letter to link and access the network marketing firm’s website where you let their material tell the whole story.
