Expert Author: Lisaa Evans Attraction marketing has been used by top network marketers for years. It really isn't anything new to mlm.

Expert Author: Colleen Francis Author describes how to send your ships out. A failure to prospect on a regular basis will inevitably result in irregular revenues, and inconsistent commissions.

Sales people that actively prospect every day (i.e. send out their ships) will always outperform those who just sit and wait.

Expert Author: Roy Chitwood I know it's an old cliche, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." However, I think it's really appropriate for todays marketplace.
