Has the internet really evolved to a place where [tag-tec]virtual prospecting[/tag-tec] is now possible?  How will [tag]traffic trends[/tag] impact the way we recruit? 

Well, first of all, I would venture to say that very few people have even heard of the term “[tag]Virtual Prospecting[/tag]”.  In fact, when I did a Google search I really couldn’t even find a suitable description of the term anywhere – and only 530,000 references in the search results.  I can pretty much guarantee that will be changing very soon as I will raise the banner on this emerging trend in recruiting.

I personally believe the “wave of the future” in online recruiting will be dominated by virtual prospecting systems. These internet based systems will utilize modern technologies to create an interactive experience for visitors and potential business prospects, and will bring the [tag]Network Marketing[/tag] industry into a much closer relationship with internet based Marketing strategies. 

The complaint that I often hear about recruiting prospects on the internet, is that it is far too “impersonal” – especially for Network Marketing. The “old school” argument is that in order to build a successful downline organization you need to build relationships; and that can only be done on a personal level.

While I very much agree with building personal relationships, I don’t completely agree with that premise that the internet is too impersonal.  Two or three years ago with the stagnant websites, I certainly would agree that the internet was far too impersonal to build relationships.

Today, however, the “new” [tag]web 2.0[/tag] is much more interactive and is, in fact, based on what I would classify as “virtual relationships” and virtual communities. All over the web their is an interaction taking place between the website owner, and the site visitor. [tag]Virtual Technologies[/tag] are emerging to make sites much more visitor interactive, and bringing people together. And guess what for? To Build Relationships.

So, this new interactive phenomenon that is quickly emerging on the web is going to become a major catalyist for change (and growth) in the Network Marketing Industry. Those individuals and companies who adapt to this new [tag]Virtual Prospecting strategy[/tag], will become the new [tag]MLM income[/tag] leaders. 

So what does this all have to do with traffic?

The obvious answer is that those who work to understand traffic trends, and spend the time developing systems and strategies that can drive traffic to a spectacular online presentation, will ultimately gain a marketing advantage. Building a massive [tag]traffic funnel[/tag], along with high-tech [tag-ice]virtual prospecting systems[/tag-ice], will enable distributors to construct massive sales organizations big and fast. The days of building a Network Marketing Opportunity by holding home meetings has once-again emerged. But now… those meetings will be conducted online through a Virtual Prospecting System.

The emergence of Web 2.0 is the perfect invitation for Network Marketing to move to a more active online recruiting effort. Building Easy Traffic Systems that will funnel massive visitors to a Virtual Prospecting system, will forever change the way recruiting is done.
