Follow Up With Prospects Automatically

Did you know that most people will not make a decision until they have been presented the opportunity 7 times? It’s true, and if you are not following up with your MLM prospects, you are leaving huge money on the table.
This is also the cause of failure in our industry. You see the tactics that we have been teaching new associates are outdated, and are virtually guaranteeing failure in network marketing.
I remember when my sponsor told me to head over the “best lead source” available and pick up their “gold super verified” leads - at about $350 for 100 leads. I received my first batch and set about calling them. I spent 10-15 hours a week calling leads - only to be met with failure and a lighter bank account.
The problem was two fold. I had no automated way to follow-up with these leads, and because of this I had no way to profit from them if they did not join my MLM opportunity.
Cold calling leads is not the way to build a residual income stream. The “power of duplication” just never happens, because more than 95% of the people you sponsor will simply not have the stomach or the bank account to duplicate your effort.
However if you generate your own leads, and funnel them into your own email auto responder, you can very easily follow-up with them at least seven times, but more if you want to.
Further more, you can easily offer them other products as an affiliate, that allow you to profit from them even if they don’t join your primary business.
After you develop your capture page, the first tool you will need is an auto-responder service. I recommend never trying to host this yourself, for a number of reasons - just trust me, you don’t want to do it.
The only service I recommend is this one http://www.internetmlmpro.com/aw/. Be sure and take advantage of their free test drive, which is great to get things rolling before you have to start spending money!
Remember, just as your sponsor told you, growth is all about the follow up!
Why not do it the easy way?
