/24-7PressRelease/ - ALISO VIEJO, CA, January 28, 2008 - During the past century, successful sales was based on salespeople utilizing the "Three Foot Rule", to develop a relationship that would ultimately result in a successful sale.
The "Three foot Rule" means that you talk to anyone that comes within three fee of you.
This rule meant that sales people had to use any "Ice Breaker" possible to begin a conversation that would ultimately lead to a relationship, and finally the sale.
This exercise was not only expected, but necessary, if you expected a successful sales career.
Over the past century, with the advent of the internet, email marketing and networking,
The old "Three Foot Rule" has become something of the past. Especially in the Home Based Business Industry and other direct sales areas. Independent contractors spend hours in front of their computers, following up on internet leads, social networking and establishing relationships with individuals they most probably will never meet, never really get to know and in many cases never know what they look like.
Although many very successful businesses were built on the internet, building organizations on people who will never meet each other, the real skills of networking have all but disappeared from direct sales.
Instead of going talking to a friend, relative or stranger in the neighborhood, the direct sales contractor will sit at the computer and try to sell or recruit a stranger from across the country or around the world. In many cases, individuals find it easier, not having to talk directly to someone, face to face, or attempt to begin a conversation with a stranger.
It is easier to converse through email or webinar. This way you do not have to face anyone directly.
The internet has replaced the face to face, belly to belly networking. No more hand shaking and back slapping. No more visiting the families, having coffee at the diner and hotel meetings.
This personal relationship is what made Amway, Herbalife, Shakley, and Mary Kay Billion Dollar Companies, and will continue to help them develop on a solid foundation of personal relationships.
Where does it all start? At the "Ice Breaker". Most people do not know how to start a conversation with a stranger, so they would rather stay on the computer than leave the house and force themselves to use the "Three Foot Rule".
Can you imagine how many home based representatives would be super successful if they had the ultimate Ice Breaker, and they would now be doing sales using Off-Line Marketing.
