Hot Targeted MLM Leads
Hot Targeted MLM Leads
Did you fall for that one? How many times have you bought hot, targeted, even pre-screened or telephone verified leads?
I fell for it!! I have been in network marketing for about 10 years now. For the first 8 years, it was the MOST frustrating thing I’ve ever seen. I was going over the money that I’ve spent on leads. WOW – amazing. I dialed and dialed and dialed. Toward the end of my lead buying days, I got so I was actually able to talk with these people.
Most of the people that I talked to said they were filling out a form for a free ipod, free computer, free dinner at Olive Garden or something of the sort. They filled out their name, address, email address, phone number etc… and were brought to another page where they had to answer questions and choose so many of the “free offers” to go further. Most stopped after 3-4 pages of this, however some of them went up to 20 or more pages.
TWENTY PAGES!!
One question was “Have you ever considered having your own business?” They said sure, what the heck. I’ll check that box. They become one of those “pre-qualified” leads you buy.
Then they get to fill out a form asking how much they want to make per month – KA-CHING – your price just went up for that lead. They were then asked why they wanted a home based business – KA-CHING – your price just went up more for that lead.
These poor people were simply sucked into thinking that they were going to get a free product. You’ve seen the offers. They pop up on all kinds of websites. They come in your email. They are EVERYWHERE.
How many people who have been on the internet very long do you think fall for that garbage?? Probably not many. HOWEVER, there are millions of NEW internet users every day. These are the people that you get to talk to when you buy leads.
First of all, they are mad that they didn’t get their free whatever.
Second of all, they are mad because all they got instead was a bunch of spam emails and tons of people calling them trying to get them into their deal.
OF COURSE you are going to get a lot of NO’s. Your upline will tell you – “Get 100 No’s and you’re that much closer to a YES”. Oh My Gosh!! Of course you might get a couple out of every 100 or 200 people that you talk to who will take a look at your business. BUT…IF they do join you, those people are probably getting sucked in by hype and false promises, just like you probably did. Most will drop out and leave you high and dry.
Will it ever end??? Most likely not. That means that you can NEVER RETIRE. You will have to work FOREVER to outsponsor the attrition rate. All this to just get a little bit further ahead. Not a lot, but a LITTLE BIT further ahead.
Is this really the life you want? Is this what you signed up for? Are you ready to learn about a different way? Are you ready to find out how to generate your own leads?
