I think you're right, if everyone understood this there would probably be a higher success rate in the industry! Yet people still tell me that their upline is telling them to do nothing but make a list, talk to everyone you know about your product and opportunity. Forgetting that skills are needed even without doing anything online! There are plenty of offline methods to use, which I never heard about until going online and getting real training. Even people skills are so much more than reading 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' (albeit a great book indeed!). Thanks for stopping by once again, always a pleasure to hear from you! <em>Wishing You Brilliant Success!</em> <img src="http://inetvb.com/images/sig.png" alt="Vicki" /> Thanks so much Jennifer!

Thanks! I do know some people are still arguing the former, saying how relationships take too much time. Well how in the world do they have a LASTING business?

That's why I called it a paradigm shift, because it's a concept that does take a bit of thinking about before you really 'get it' sometimes. It's such an ingrained philosophy in traditional networking to lead with the opportunity or product, but in fact the person has displayed some kind of leadership or developed some kind of relationship (or both) with the people they recruit. Which is what has to translate online, even more pronounced (in the leadership and relationship over product and opportunity department!) Once people get this concept, it's easy! Thanks as usual for your time in commenting! <em>Wishing You Every Success,</em> <img src="http://inetvb.com/images/sig.png" alt="Vicki" /> Hi Steve!

I wish that more people would teach that. I've known of businesses where you are a secondary or tertiary part of the business pitch. Why would someone want to join someone who isn't even remotely a leader? I've known others that try to show some elements of personal branding, but still don't get it. .-= Steve Nicholas´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.stevetheowl.com/2010/07/10/on-the-comeback-trail/" rel="nofollow">On the Comeback Trail</a> =-.
