A good of friend of mine is a hunter. He is a really good hunter. After hearing some of his stories, I gathered that to be a hunter you must be real real patient, and go out there with a definite plan and strategy in mind. There is an interesting science behind a hunters thinking. In network marketing though, no one should be a hunter, but they usually are. The entrepreneur is out for the acquired customer and or partnership of another person. To hunt these down is usually demonstrated by nagging and annoying and being on an individuals trail – spam emails, phone calls, etc. To these hunters the concept of Attraction Marketing is usually not known.
Anyway, back to my hunter friend Bob. He shared with me a tool he used on the trail to attract the deer. He explained about using a bottle of doe scent to attract the bucks. Once applied he would wait.
Become the Hunted Instead of The Hunter
Soon enough the buck would pick up the scent and come around. Then WAMMO! The prize is won for the hunter. So, if a hunter can find a way to turn the tables and cause the deer to hunt him, then the wise entrepreneur should do the same. This brings us to the next step in being the hunted, finding out what that scent needs to be. To live in the attraction marketing atmosphere, there must be something of value (that is wanted)that attracts people to you.
Bob didn’t use that scent all the time. When he was hunting doe, he had a certain routine which included the trail he would walk, where he would set up his deer stand and actually even before all that, scope out the pattern of the deer before he went out to hunt. Yes, he even used a video camera too! Cheating? Not sure, but it worked.
The point is he took much care in understanding the pattern of the animal he was tracking. The entrepreneur does the same through studying the buying habits of people. Lets take a look.
There are all forms of marketing like, Google PPC, article marketing, online press releases and so on. Now choose one, master it in theory. Practice it by writing good copy and advertise with understanding – your markets habits.
- What are they searching for? – WHAT keywords in the search engines do they use?
- Why?
- What are their passions, or as some would say “Hot Buttons”? – What are their needs in other words.
- What are they saying in the social media places?
Everyone needs a place of beginning. So start here with some training that can guide you into the right thought process and poise you to become that expert in attracting endless leads to your business by becoming the hunted. The hunted are the ones who have a solution, that is why they are hunted down by a prospect.
Think about it.

Hi Joe, i really enjoy good writings and this clearly is one of them. thank you. i should however point out that the analogy maybe a good one, but it does not do any justice to the MLM industry. what we are saying is whether you are haunting or you are haunted, it is the “deer” that is going to end up with the bullet. how promising is that. many years ago as a law student then i was invited to a party organized by my friend, well established lawyer. on that party (all lawyers as you can imagine) they toasted a wealthy dead man who died intestate. for being an emotional young man it ended my carrier as a lawyer. i have no doubt that an attraction marketing is the way to do a business, i however believe that we the MLM industry representatives should go that one step further and first, educate the public. no landing pages, no capture pages, no any other lead generation devices. simply courses and courses teaching people what the MLM is, what it means to them, the industry and the country. MLM industry was in existence for over 25 years and the misunderstanding and the misconception of its principles has never been dipper than today.
just a thought.
I agree Jack. In fact that is what this blog really is for, educating, even though I have a few capture pages involved. I hope to do more of that here as far as educating vs. overwhelming with capture page things. We have invested a lot of $$$ in education in network marketing in order to be able to educate in return. Thanks for sharing.
