If you're using email, one of the best tactics I've seen is
, "I have a business opportunity I'd like to show you. Can I have your permission to send you some information?" This way you are not deliberately withholding information, but at the same time you are letting the prospect know you would like to show him or her a business idea or opportunity. You will have more success if you don't come right out and say it's a network marketing opportunity because many people are still skeptical about the legitimacy of networks.
