Some Network Marketer’s are turning to the time old classic advertisements tactic of buying leads, calling them and trying to convince them to buy something or join their business venture.
As for me I will never buy a cold lead again. Yep you heard me right. I found out the secret to why cold leads are so mean. And why the top money earners seem to never run out of leads.
They don’t cold call, I will tell you that much.
6 years ago before I got into Network Marketing I was an opportunity seeker. I filed out all kinds of online forms to get more information about home based businesses , make more money etc.
I filed out so much crap that everyday my inbox got flooded with junk mail. It was so bad I had to change my email address. Here is the funny part, You would think with all that stuff I attached my phone number to, my phone would be ringing off the hook with networkers.
Strange but True…
Not a single call until almost 2 years later. Then the calls started pouring in. People from all types of companies. Some of them Claimed they just purchased my name as a phone verified lead. Some said that I was a new lead only a day old or less. I even had a lady call me who said my lead was generated for her specific company. Her company had been in business less than 6 months. Yeah I heard it all.
What makes it really funny is when I asked all of those pour networker who got ripped off what e-mail address they had for me, they replied with……… Yep you guessed it. My old e-mail address that didn’t even exist anymore.
I knew right then why all the cold leads I had been buying and calling, SUCKED! I Had no idea where those leads I bought came from. I was just taking the word of companies who sold them to me.
Just like the networkers who bought my old name and number and was told it was new. I was probably being lied to about some of the leads I had bought.
I vowed right then and there to never call cold leads again. I knew I had to find out the well kept secret to never running out of lead.
See when you buy cold leads you don’t own that list. Someone else does. They can do whatever they want with that list. Most times they take that lead and sell them over and over again. So by the time you buy that lead they have already been called hundreds of times by other networker marketers just like you.
So what do you do for leads? Are you ready for the big secret. You generate your own leads. Read my next post on why the leads you generate kiss your butt vs the leads you buy who hang up on you.
