My tip for finding prospects. And it's not online.

I cast my vote and hope it helps put a perspective on the best people for all of the GDI community or any other business to target. Most network communities you join tend to already have people promoting their own business opportunities which in reality no matter how good your product or services is, there is not many who really care or even take notice, it's like spitting into the wind.

In the last 2 years of doing online marketing what has surprised me the most is that the best way to "drive" traffic to a website is from outside of the web. What I mean is using resources like newspaper ads and drop cards, also business cards where you leave everywhere you can, as well as just speaking with people you come into contact on a daily basis.

I try to make it part of my daily method of operation to get out at least 100 cards or fliers per day x 5 days a week. I also have set a goals of speaking to 3 people each day about the opportunity and 3 people about the services we provide.

What I feel is important here is that we want to keep gauges on our efforts so we can chart our results and see what is working so we can step up our efforts in that area and reduce our efforts in those reaching out methods that are not working as well. It has been said that without a target to hit, what are you aiming for. Know what works best for you and that becomes comfortable for you to do.

Jim Rohn, America's foremost business philosopher says; "For us to grow we must do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable". So get out there and try some of the things you may think may not bring results, but you will be surprised get familiar with "ALL" the methods of reaching out. And you will succeed, no matter what business you are in.
