Well, with the advent of the Internet, the whole world is open to us. No more of the traditional expenses associated with long distance sponsoring. Sending out packages of information, racking up long distance charges, in some cases even traveling to meet and train your new distributor. None of that anymore. No more do you HAVE to send out your packages of vides, audios, brochures etc.
Prospects can ask questions, voice concerns and objections and get answers in real time.
So there s no question that the Internet has made long distance sponsoring much easier and cost effective, not to mention making accessible a much larger pool of prospects world wide. Therefore for any prospecting whether long distance or otherwise, that s a whole lot of people that would fall through the cracks if you were to focus exclusively on working your business through the net. Second One of the biggest obstacles that we have to face as MLM ers is the aspect of credibility. In other words this business is very much of a see, feel and touch sort of business. Unfortunately until our great industry becomes self evident in terms of general perception of MLM being a viable method of doing business, this will continue to be an obstacle.
