I have seen every possible lead proposition and they all are almost the same, might as well cold call. I really love the sales organizations that offer you free leads and then their famous training system is always included. You know the one I am talking about, the YOYO system

YOYO, You’re on Your own!

I have been there and I know what it is to suffer through not having enough leads. I have found that many of the leads generated are done so under “semi fraudulent” marketing schemes. The lead provider will ride on the coat tails of a nationally known group who is offering an important piece of information. The return envelope usually is to a Washington DC drop box who then forwards it on to the user.

The best sites these days are the ones with the most interactive features. Taking cues from the larger sites, think of the interactive features that now bring in high numbers of customers. Using blogs, polls, forums, ratings, feedback, reviews, etc., a site can become more of a reflection of the people who use it, giving the users a reason to come back again and again to help shape the site.

You’re excited-you’ve just signed up to be a distributor for Xyz Company. You’re going to be selling the hottest selling product known to mankind-at least that is what your sponsor told you. Then reality hits you like a stink bomb. How in the heck are you going to sell these products?

This is the panic that probably went through your mind right after you signed up in your company. What you probably didn’t know then, was that being a distributor is going to take some business know how and a lot of marketing skills. This herein lies the problem. You, like most new people, may not have either. This leaves people like you with a garage full of products you couldn’t even give away. That too takes some marketing skill.

Back when her unpopular TV show, “The Apprentice,” was on the air, Martha Stewart’s company lost 40% of its value. As the face (and name) of the company, people were clearly turned off by the experience of her in the “you’re fired” role.

Until then, we’d seen Martha striving for perfection in cooking, home decorating, entertaining, gardening and many other domestically oriented areas, all while cooing her catchphrase, “It’s a good thing.” We’d heard rumors she was a little testy behind the scenes, but who cares? I’d be cranky too if it meant my pies would turn out perfectly.

Have you ever wondered how some new guy comes into the organization, and within a week is the newest top-earner? It’s no secret really, but it does require some long-term thinking. You see, the new guy knows something that isn’t explained easily, or talked about much. The company line when you join is to go to your “warm-market”. Your friends and family. People who you already know, and therefore, already have a certain “trust” established with you. Well, until you join your fourth MLM company that is. And then what
happens? Do they screen your calls? Avoid you at family functions? I know mine did.

If Harry Potter series became the god of all kids around the world, then Day Job Killer is the god of all those professionals who focus on reinforcing and applying marketing techniques. There has been considerable gossip about its success and the fact that 6,000 copies of Day Job Killer were sold in just a single week. This is amazing because most books that focus on money-making strategies turn out to be a medley of insipid rehash of stolen techniques. Day Job Killer stands apart from such a category.

You are asking yourself now: Is it worth the hype and the publicity? Would my time and energy be wasted?
