When I was actively building the Amway/Quixtar business we used home and hotel meetings as the primary method to introduce a person to the business. Today, I still believe that face to face meetings are a vital part of building a Network Marketing business.
However, let’s talk about numbers. In Amway/Quixtar a person that gets two people to a meeting is looked upon as a superstar. By contrast, when I am actively looking to bring new talent into my business today, I might show 15 qualified people in a week using conference calls, webinars and other technology tools at my disposal. The likelihood of someone in Amway/Quixtar sponsoring 6 people in a week is very low, but those types of sponsoring numbers happen all of the time when technology is leveraged.
The challenge is finding a happy medium between face to face and technology, but when you are using technology to help you present your business, you can spend the face to face time having fun and getting to know the team.
