The Internet can be useful in many ways to increase the efficiency of your prospecting and recruiting efforts. You don't necessarily have to use it only to generate prospects at your website. You can use the internet to host your presentations.

For me the greatest gift of the internet is that I can now avoid all of the drive time and no-shows I used to sit through.

You can work your face-to-face market. You can hand out business cards with your presentation site listed or use flyers or tear-offs and send them to your online presentation. It can save huge amounts of time if your prospects are viewing an online presentation while you're doing prospecting or follow-up.

But what if your company or upline doesn't have a suitable presentation online? What if you can't find one anywhere and you don't know how to create one yourself?

In this case you'll want to get your prospects phone number either in person or at your opt-in page and then create some material of your own on your own website or email them. Then you can walk them through a presentation on the phone.

You don't need to create anything elaborate. It can be a PDF of one of your company's presentations from their website or it can be a Word Doc or PDF that you have created yourself.

Or email them a Power Point. If you can find one with a narration to go along with it then this is ideal.

I have done presentations like this up to 12,000 miles away and it's a very effective technique. It takes just as long as a one-on-one in person but there's no driving and if they don't answer their phone you just carry on with your other tasks.

The idea here is that it doesn't have to be slick. You just need a visual aid to get the idea across. If you're sincere and the person is interested then it will be a positive experience.

You can also send them to a live call presentation or webcast, but I find it's difficult to get people to actually show up for these-like hotel meetings--people don't really want to be locked in to this.

Of course the ones who do attend the live presentations, either online or in meetings are much better prospects, but I have had a devil of a time getting them to show up.

Of course a nice professional audio-video presentation on a site with an autoresponder is the ideal efficient situation, but until you have that in place you have to be creative and make do with whatever you can patch together.

If you want to stay in the game long term you'll want to be making some sideline money early on to fund your marketing programs.

If you have your own list you'll be able to show your prospects how to do this and if you write your own manual you'll be able to offer it for sale to your list and create your own stream of income to fund your marketing.
