You quest involves two methods: online marketing (one to one) and offline marketing (face to face).
Most marketers will identify with online marketing but there is no reason why offline work using a face-to-face approach cannot succeed. It largely depends on how you conduct yourself and I would say that if you chose to go face-to-face, then:
1. First be comfortable with the information you have to present. That is you should know well ahead what you intend to talk about and preparing yourself will instil confidence in your abilities when you meet the prospects.
2. Start with just a simple friendly approach and avoid diving straight into the subject. If you can win the trust of the prospect with simple steps, you will find it easier to discuss your business.
3. Where it is not possible for you to provide an answer to the questions, be honest about it as there is nothing worse than losing your integrity later on.
4. It is a good idea to carry some leaflets or business cards with you, in case the prospect needs further information.
On the other hand, a one to one approach, which does not involve a physical presence, can be conducted online using social media such as Facebook or Skype. . But as with face to face, you need to equip yourself with information you have to provide. Because you are online, you have an additional advantage of instantly sending helpful links to the prospect.
Using phones to make unsolicited calls, also called cold calling is often seen as being intrusive and it is wise to avoid it for a one to one approach.
In summary, with any technique, your attitude and approach are vital for getting a successful outcome when presenting information that will attract affiliates to your business.
