I must admit, I’ve been around block on Network Marketing. As mentioned in the previous post, I had a brief encounter with Amway back in the 1980’s – but that doesn’t even count. Since then I have tried other Network Marketing companies, including HerbalLife, EcoQuest, and Exponent Trading.
For a variety of reasons, none of these worked. The most significant of those is that I am not the type who can work the “Warm Market” or use the “3 Foot Rule” with any effectiveness. I’m not sure anyone can actually use those with any degree of success. I suspect the few that are really successful in those network marketing companies I left behind knew a lot of things about marketing I didn’t.
At any rate, I had turned my back on Network Marketing as recent as 6 months ago. It wasn’t until I stumbled across ITV Ventures that I gave it another try. What was different this time around?
Well lots of things really. Mostly my mindset. But the most important thing that brought me back was finding a Network Marketing company that actually worked. One that let me have a vision and a plan beyond bugging my friends, family, and co-workers. You can read my thoughts over at my ITV Ventures Home Business Blog.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the old school of Network Marketing just isn’t going to work anymore. And I am not the only one who feels this way. So I have had a love/hate relationship with Network Marketing, but the love is back. This time a more informed love!
