No matter what multi-level marketing company you’re part of, chances are there is some sort of local meeting system set up to help you succeed. However, with the introduction of the internet and online marketing, fewer and fewer people are willing to get dressed up and go to their local meetings every week. So the question is, should you?
In the old days of MLM, everyone went to local meetings, well at least everyone who was successful. However, today that’s just not so. Internet marketers are popping up in almost every company and these master marketers often shy away from the traditional meeting system and opt for conference calls or webinars.
I believe the question of whether to go to your local meetings or not is a personal thing and it really comes down to how you plan on marketing your business.
If you are the type of person who prefers to marketing locally and in the 3D realm (i.e. passing out flyers or using the 3-foot rule) meetings might be very beneficial for you. The type of people who prefer these type of methods are usually very outgoing people, the type of people who could sell ice to an Eskimo.
However, if you prefer to marketing online through social networking sites, articles, blogs, videos or pod casts, then local meetings might now be the best option for you. After all, you could be dealing with people from all over the country or the world, in some cases.
If you are an internet marketer but you still enjoy going to meetings for motivation or just to talk to your peers, then by all means do it! However, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be successful if you don’t plug into a meeting system. It’s just not for everyone.
The final thing to ask yourself when deciding if you should go to your local meetings or not is, “How good are my meetings”. For many people who are new to a multi-level marketing business, sending their prospects to a great meeting can be really helpful. This is because they don’t have to say anything, they just let the meeting do the selling for them. However, if your meetings system isn’t strong, it can sometimes do more harm than good. So really think about it before you send a valued prospect there because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
The choice of going to meetings or not is a personal one. I hope that you will do what is best for you and your MLM business.
