Cold calling in network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) business is close to being dead. It’s still alive because some people are still using it to a certain degree of success. However, the people who are using it have personally gone through the cold calling refining process and managed to have it burned into their very being. Can you do cold calling though? And even if you can, can you expect your downlines to do the same? In network marketing, there are many ways to overcome this problem of cold calling and right now, I will share with you a strategy that you and your downlines can use to get your prospects to open up their wallets to you.
This strategy is a very old strategy but it still works perfectly to this day. In fact, a virus was named after it and it is still one of the most common viruses that people around the world are facing to this day. Don’t worry though, I’m not going to ask you to do anything illegal. This strategy has been in place on the internet and it works like a charm. What is it?
It’s the Trojan Horse strategy.
When you are doing your network marketing efforts, give your prospects a benefit. A free report, a free sample, free information, in return for giving you their email contact to followup with them. For the people that don’t take up the free stuff, you don’t have to carry on with them because they would not be worth your effort to promote to anyway. For the people that accept your benefit, what happens is your benefit will actually go to work in them. Like the Trojan Horse, it keeps silent until it strikes at an opportune time. No cold calling required at all!
What’s even better is that the free benefit that you’ve given to your prospect can have many results – some of which you can control even (that depends on what strategy you are using). The best thing though, is that your free benefit has the power to convince the prospect without you having to do any convincing work which is required when doing cold calling.

Network Marketing and the Internet Explained
November 8th, 2009
The amount of people who log on to the Internet hoping to make money using network marketing is overwhelming. There are so many opportunities that you can choose to undertake and so it is important to be careful about what you are doing. The best time to start Internet marketing and advertising is when you find the company that is perfect for you. All the network marketing companies will give you a duplicate website with same address. The problem with this is that they are all the same and could be changed at any time.
The effect of the company changing its address is that your traffic and marketing efforts will be going to a URL that is no longer functioning. It is advisable to register domain names in your name and hence you will be in charge of them. After doing so it is best to look for other domains that are related to the marketing opportunity that you have found. You can point or redirect your domain name to your firm’s replicated ecommerce website or the marketing opportunities you have found using the forwarding frame and masking option.
The next step is to come up with a way to make sure that traffic constantly flows to your sites. Is it best after the choosing of domain names to place yourself in a position whereby you are attracting visitors that are of quality and by that I mean visitors that are serious about starting an online business. The way to do this is to go to search engines and see the key words people use to look for certain businesses. When you get the list of ten top websites that are revealed by the search engines you then look for ways to market yourself on those websites. The point is that the website is already getting a lot of visitors and if you can get in on the act you can reap great rewards. Like the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!! There are many ways for you to advertise on these websites and in some of the websites you can advertise for free. You can do so by appearing on their guest book and then you leave a link to your website.
If you do the above as a newcomer to network marketing on the Internet you have a great chance of having success. The key to marketing on the Internet is to have your name known in many circles and then you will be the first port of call in whatever people do. For example – Google!! If someone thinks of searching for something they will say I will Google it, so if you are a network marketer you have to associate your self with them and the way to do so is by having your link on their site.
Network marketing is all about creating a link that has all the key words so as to drive traffic to your site.
