It's truly about working SMARTER not harder!

The following post is for "brandnewbies"

When I first began my journey of marketing way back "in the day" I was taught to make the typical friends n family, jog your memory type of lead list that most people are. I really came to believe that in order to have my business work out successfully, the more people I could know, the more likely I'd be to attain leads, prospects, customers. That procedure DID work for the "heavy-hitter" types of people and those who got in when the company first began, but that type of approach does not lend itself well at all to Internet jobs and marketing.

With Internet work, it's not about the amount of people you know, it's about the caliber and commitment of the few who are with you. Think about this...you are working hard, making calls, following up with your leads, so you may have about 20 people lined up in your back office. How many of those 20 are actually now leading others into the business? 1 or 2? none?

Ok, well, now consider this scenario. You have 5 people in your back office, on conference calls weekly, building their business and bringing others into the business. See what I mean? You want 5 good people who are going to take things seriously, rather than 20 that just sit there and do nothing.

So, to work smarter, you spend your time with the 5, teaching and training and hanging out as a friend/mentor/guru.

Five people is not very many though is it? That's ok. I used to think that way too. While you are training those 5, you are still busy recruiting others who may either a.) sit and do zilch or b.) run with things for you. Guess who YOU are going to focus on in your Internet business?

So from now on work SMARTER not harder. Put your time and effort into the few who will be productive in the long-run.
