Network marketing was generally face to face.
This is changing with the times.
Network marketing has taken on a whole new look. You may not even know your network contacts personally, only by phone, fax, email, etc.
Internet & Email puts you right in your customers home or office. Now of course you can put your picture on your correspondence and even describe yourself if you like. You can put your full profile and let out all or some ofyour 'secrets' right on your website 'blog' or 'ezine'.
The good part of this is that you become a real person to whoever reads it. They can already relate to you in one way or another. Good or bad.
People doing business with people. Let's get back to the topic.
I spent a long time in the Steel Service Centre industry and did big business with steel mills all over the world. I recall meeting and dealing with managers but often my own buyers would not meet the suppliers office salespeople they were dealing with on a day to day business. The only thing they had in common was the product and the fact that they both new their manager managers had met and made an arrangement.
Often times a company will have a relationship or contract with another company for supply of goods & services. This would appear to be company doing business with a company, but it is really people doing business with people. If the people can't make it work, the contract ends.
A great portion of your business can be done with your Long Distance Contact. Someone who trusts you do live up to what you've said. Business will often follow the contact person when they leave the company and go to a competitor or start their own business.
Live up to their expectations. Give them more than they asked for, more than you promised, more than they expected.
Networking! It's all about people helping people.
