Back many years ago-when being in a home business MLM meant you were either in Amway or Shaklee-there was only one way to work a program. You made your prospect list in the small spiral notebook that you carried everywhere- because you never knew when you’d remember the name of someone who wasn’t on your list yet! You wrote down everyone on your Christmas card list, anyone you did business with, all the names in your high school year book-yes, everyone you had ever known-including your mother-in-law (no-prejudging now!).
Then came the hard part. You called each name on your list to tell them you had something important that you needed their opinion on and was Tuesday or Thursday better for them? We NEVER gave any information over the phone! To understand this new marketing concept a person had to “see the plan”! Get those people and bring them to the meeting! Tell them that you’d be in their neighborhood anyway (OK, so they lived 30 miles from you) so you’d be happy to pick them up!

Then a man in a navy blue suit with a red tie (the woman in her pastel shirtwaist dress would be sitting on the side of the stage with a beauty pageant smile… and never take their eyes off of HIM! ). He would stand up and draw circles on a white board to show us how we too could be free and living on the beaches of the world! We’d all take notes and make encouraging, enthusiastic comments to our prospect… who was lost in that maze of circles we knew and loved so well.
