Tarantula's in Network Marketing Part II of II

Okay, so now we all know I was a hysterical little girl deathly afraid of tarantulas and how I overcame my fear and got over it and now can hold my daughter Jessica’s tarantula Vorto. If you don’t know the entire story but want to read about it, check out my previous blog. And just to prove I did hold him here are two pictures of me with Vorto.


















So here is another lesson I learned by watching Vorto one day. If you don’t know, Tarantulas eat live crickets, so Jessica brings a couple home for Vorto and we put them in his glass enclosure, here is a picture of that.

And the cool thing about watching a tarantula catch his prey and eat it is pretty interesting and something that made me think of the newest way to build your internet business.

Vorto didn’t run around his home chasing the crickets like a crazed spider and getting all tired out, hoping to grab one or the other which ever he could get in his grasp and spitting his web this way and that. Kind of like newbie network marketers who will speak with anyone within a few feet of them, and just spew out all this information trying to get anyone into their new business.

What Vorto did was just pick a comfortable spot and he waited and waited and waited, for what seemed like a long time to me, but was really only a few minutes. But he waited until one of the crickets came up to him and still he didn’t snatch them up, he waited until they got a little closer, and closer still, until the crickets antennae were touching his legs and then the tiny hair on his legs (now I am not in anyway suggesting you let prospects touch your legs, this is just an analogy ok?). The cricket got closer and closer, getting more and more curious and when he was right underneath the spider, that is when Vorto moved faster than I could blink and he had the cricket and pulled him in. I couldn’t stay and watch after that, but here is my point. Vorto waited for the cricket to come to him and then he made his move, he didn’t chase. He even overlooked the first cricket that did that and waited until the bigger cricket showed up. And that is what the professional network marketer does.

He finds a way to draw in his prospects through articles, google ads, autoresponders, systems, whatever promotion that particular leader is using, and if he/she is smart, they will be using a lot of them. They have a system in place that generates their own leads, has prospects making the first step towards them and with the right system, even get paid before they speak to that prospect. I don’t know about you, but I would much rather build my business the tarantula way then the old fashioned way. I want to pick and choose who I work with and I also want them to find me. If my lead/prospect is not willing to do some work finding the right leader, they probably are not going to want to do any work.

P.S. There was also a lesson to be learned from the original story about my big brother Joe scaring me with the picture. As even something that seemed so devastating at the time taught me something and made me stronger in the long run. So a huge shout out and thanks to my big bro Joe, who without I wouldn’t have this story (and plenty more)! You really were doing it for my own good. LOL.
