Are you fishing for leads or are you on someone else's sonar?
"The Web got built by people who chose to build it. The lesson is: don't wait for someone to show you how. Learn from your spontaneous mistakes, not from safe prescriptions and cautiously analyzed procedures. Don't try to keep people from going wrong by repeating the mantra of how to get it right. Getting it right isn't enough any more. There's no invention in it. There's no voice."-The Cluetrain Manifesto
A huge thanks goes to John Jantsch from Duct Tape Marketing and his Blog post: Tis Better to be Found than to Find. All we hear in network marketing today is duplication, duplication, duplication. What other business in the world tells you to duplicate their business model? Ask Google, Apple computer, or even McDonalds. If you are going to jump quantum leaps over your competitors, you will need to rethink what you are doing.
Instead of buying leads wouldn’t it be great if your prospects found you?
From Social Networking including MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or even Squidoo, the possibilities are endless. Your goal - to present yourself a such a way that others will seek YOU out.
Becoming the hunted on the internet is a lot like fishing. An old friend of mine and expert network marketer, Bob Schmitz, says that if you put one line in the water, you will catch one fish at a time. Put multiple lines in the water with different bait and catch all kinds of different fish. Change the bait until you see what works.
Why not use a the easy way and a duplicable system? You have the same bait in front of everyone. Marketing plans that worked 2 months ago, a year ago, 10 years ago, may change over night. Are you ready to cast your lines a little deeper to find the fish?
Are you ready to try a new lake and invest in a new boat before putting your lines in the water and grabbing a cold drink, your favorite book and preparing yourself for the bite?
An old Chinese
proverb states, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Are you teaching your team how to fish?
"There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot." --Steven Wright
