As you see in the videos, things do change. No matter where your “cheese” was in how you recruited new business partners or new product customers in Network Marketing……the “cheese” has moved.
While “Old School” methods of recruiting new customers and reps do work, they are becoming far less efficient than they even used to be.
Think about it…..20 years ago, there was no Internet, no distractions like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, cell phones, online discussion forums, or any other ways to communicate.
The way in which many of us communicate and relate to others HAS changed in many ways.
I’ve heard this many times from “Old School” network marketers…..”there is nothing personal about the Internet, you can’t build relationships, you can’t connect with people on the Internet”, etc…..all of which are false.
You are simply going where the “cheese” is, and in the case off a home business….where your customers are. You can still connect, build relationships, and get to know people on a personal level.
In fact, you can do it far more efficiently than before. You are able to give your “presentation” to 10,20,100 people a day instead of 1 or 2 if you work at it.
Did you see how the two “little people” complained and kept trying to find their old cheese at first? What does that make you think about NOT using, and refusing to use technology to build your business?
It used to work, it should still work, right??? Ever heard that before?
Many of you might be afraid to go look for the “new cheese” like HEM in the movie, right?
What is your “old cheese”? In-home meetings? Buying Leads? The 3-foot rule of prospecting in malls? While those might work a little still, there is definitely “new cheese” to be had out there.
I was exactly like that, a little scared, a little afraid, but anxious to find the “new cheese” even when I didn’t know where it was.
But I ventured out, got a few crumbs here and there…and then finally found the “new cheese” and I know you can to if you just venture out a little.
Instead of focusing on “Who moved the cheese?”, go be like HAW and go find the “new cheese”
Embrace technology and use it to go find new customers and business partners with internet network marketing.

I really appreciate that you used the videos and the “Who Moved My Cheese” theme. I love that book and it is so true. You have to keep looking for where your going to get your next piece of cheese.
It’s amazing how difficult it can be to change the things that you have always done but if you want to stay on top, you have to embrace new technology.

Amy,
Absolutely. Change is hard on many people, especially if they have been successful doing things a certain way “for a long time”.
However, change is inevitable, and its best to embrace it and use it to your advantage.
