Old School Network Marketing techniques include most of the ones you are probably already familiar with or at least have heard about.  They include techniques such as creating a list of friends and family (known as your warm list), creating a list of everyone you know, working these lists, placing door hangers, sending out flyers, holding meetings at peoples homes or at hotels, leaving drop cards, cold calling, and approaching everyone within 3 feet. Did they work for you?  They don’t for most people so don’t feel alone. When I joined my earlier MLM programs, I was told these and similar techniques.  The main thrust was to contact as many people as I could and determine if they were interested in making some additional money and then sign them up into my program.  I was told that everyone was a potential enrollee.  After all, didn’t everyone want to make some extra money? Unfortunately, I quickly found out that following the techniques I was taught was the quickest way to become a member of the NFL (No Friends Left) club.  Everyone quickly kept their distance, wouldn’t answer their phones, nor return calls from voice mail messages. Buy opportunity leads and call them was the response from my upline.  “The more you call the more people you will sponsor, remember this is a numbers game,” he said.  Sure you will get some rejection, but don’t let it bother you.  Just consider each rejection as one more call closer to getting a “yes” response. Yet hostile responses, hung up phones, and just plain more rejections were my reward for following this guidance.  And I found that most of these supposedly opportunity seekers were nothing of the sort.  Most has no idea how they had gotten on my list and had no interest in anything having to do with MLM
