I liked the part where your mentor told you to only sponsor people that you’d want to go on a 1-month cruise with, nice. =) It's all about building genuine relationships.

It's simply impossible as well as unnecessary to excel in every aspect of commerce, so it's vital that a company selects and directs their attention to the elements most relevant to them. As you say, this business is all about communication so creating positive and lucrative relationships is the name of the game. By getting hung up on irrelevant detail you only spread yourself too thinly and end up falling down on the fundamentals. It sounds like you've got a well thought out strategy that focusses on what really matters. You're definitely right to value one on one relationships; these will prove much more useful and should be more enduring than less personal connections. Good luck and thanks for the advice!

You MUST follow up personally. Sometimes I don't have time to follow up personally for more than a couple of days (shame on me but I am working 80+ hrs a week so it's sometimes impractical). In those cases, follow up emails give the person what I said I would supply them with (ie. my ebook for example), but I ALWAYS follow up in person. Additionally, my emails are all written personally by me, and I reply to every question someone asks. I always provide personal service whenever possible, and often for free when my time is worth well over $100 per hour. So yes, #2 is necessary for internet marketing when you have 20 leads per day opting into your list, and #3 is NOT to be forgotten, as it's an order of sequence, not importance!

If you are wanting to build a relationship I would not think receiving emails from an auto-responder would be an appropriate method. Maybe its just me but it seems very impersonal and like you are only in it for the money. Vicki said “it is ALL about relationships”

Way to many small business owners focus way too much on small details that doesn't matter. If it doesn't produce income, it's probably not worth doing - and that includes buying office furniture, choosing product names and lots of other "creative" activities. Totally agree.

Thanks so much! I agree, it is ALL about relationships, and you get get all the leads you want but if you lack the skills and confidence of talking to people and building relationships then you will get nowhere fast! We do tend to get stuck in the details, particularly working online where there is so much great information to be had. It's a matter of focus and time management, spend time on the activities that should be your primary ones (e.g. talking to people!) Hope you have an awesome weekend! <em>Wishing You Continued Success,</em> <img src="http://inetvb.com/images/sig.png" alt="Vicki" /> Hi Jim!

Especially the part about not getting stuck on details that don't matter i.e. becoming an expert in your product. The critical thing as you say is to develop new skills and to invest in your marketing foundation! At the end of the day this is a business that is based on connecting with people. Getting stuck within the details that keep you away from people can be disastrous for your business!

We have found that the personal skill set is the one people tend to skip over. So many ppl get fired up in the beginning by their sponsor/mentor or at a company presentation and start their business off on 'hope-ium' You know, they go out and try and recruit every family member, build a team and lead a downline before they really know where they are in their personal skills. I am a Licensed field Trainer with Residual Income Technologies. I would love your feedback on what we offer. Please take a min and check out Skill Radio- each week Clay Stevens spotlights a Personal Skill-and it's Free. thanks again for your comments about my 1st Blog--and I wanted to make sure I could post on your site--looks like everything is working on your end! Thx, Wendy Dear Vicki,
