<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">It's true that cold calling can work. Yet in most cases it is not very effective and it </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">breaks the </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Silver Rule in marketing that </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">states: "It is better for them to come to you, </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">rather than for you </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">to go to </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">them."</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Let's face it, you and I both want to deal with </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">successful businesses, not those </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">who </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">appear desperate and need the work, </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">right? </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">The mere fact that you are having to call </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">around for clients gives the message that </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">you are not very busy! </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Otherwise you would not have </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">the time to call them and ask </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">them for their business. </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Have you ever had a successful </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Doctor or </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">lawyer coming to </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">your door or&nbsp;calling on </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">the phone asking for your business? In fact, the best ones </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">are difficult </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">to get a hold of. </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Honestly, I would be leary of anyone who came to my </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">door asking to </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">service my car </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">or manage my </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">finances etc. </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">If positioning is important,</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">and I believe it is, cold calling in your <strong>legitimate network marketing</strong>&nbsp;puts you in a weak position. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Again, </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">cold-called prospects </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">know </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">that you want and need their business. You are </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">also saying that </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">there is not a </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">big demand for your product and or </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">service. Never </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">a great place to be. </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">I'm going </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">to say </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">it: </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%"><em><strong>You are being NEEDY and DESPERATE!</strong></em>&nbsp; </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">Your prospects think you </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">can't be very good </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">at </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">what you are doing. Otherwise your </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">schedule would be booked and you would not </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">have the time </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">to </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">chase after them on </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">the phone.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%"><strong>How to give up cold calling for good</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">On the other hand, when they call you, you are positioned to have the&nbsp;solution to a </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">problem they </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">have. They need what </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%">you have or can offer to them! This is also known as <a href="http://internetworkingsuccess.squarespace.com/attraction-network-marketing/">attraction marketing.</a></span></p>
