I get asked all the time:
"Robert, do you call your leads or do you mail them?"

I do both.

Here's my formula.

It can work for you:

1) You make 50 calls a day--it will take you about 2-3 hours
2) Those you don't get hold of, drop a post-card in the mail to them.

That's my formula.

Here's how this system has worked for me in the past:

50 calls a day times 20 days in a month = 1,000 calls a month

1,000 calls a month equals 12,000 calls a year.

Do you think you can make 12,000 calls a year?

Sure, you can. And you MUST have the proper expectations.

I sell leads with phone numbers, you know. And, I get people who buy these leads and EXPECT everyone to fall over and JUMP into their MLM business.

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

And, if you think that will happen, you're nothing more than a DREAMER!

Here's the results of when I called 1,000 people in one month.
You should EXPECT close to the same results.

Remember, I called 50 people a day. I took Saturday and Sunday off. I spent approx. 3 hours a day on my phone calls. That's 15 hours a week, or 60 hours a month.

Here's my results:

1,000 phone calls
278 disconnected phone numbers
469 voice mails
124 said no and hung up on me
129 said "yes" to my free offer

27.8% Of the phones were bad numbers
46.9% I got their voice mail
12.4% Screamed NO to me
12.9% Said YES to my Free offer

I signed 26 people up in my MLM program!

That's 2.6% of the original 1,000 that I called.
That's 20.1% of the 129 that I got hold of who wanted my Free offer.

I only got hold of 25.3% of those I called--that's 253 out of 1,000.
The other 747 people I did NOT connect with them.

I was a BULL DOG!

Now, that's marketing your Network Marketing business!

Now, YOUR results may go up or down a few percentage points--but this is the REALISTIC expectations you should have when you telemarket your leads WITH phone numbers.

Now, the real "kicker" is that is just the Front-End money.

I also have a "back-end" in my books and tapes.

You see, I realize that not everyone is going to "jump" into my program until they get to know me.

If I do "slam" them in my MLM business over the phone, over half of them are going to drop out in 30 days.

And, I don't like doing business that way.

Why?

Because I know that the masses don't like slamming people into a business either.

And, MLM is about marketing to the masses.

Enough said on that subject.

You see, my approach has always been simple.

I wanted residual income.
I wanted to roll over instead of roll out of bed.
I wanted to play Golf at 10:00 a.m. on a Tuesday.
I wanted to be able to buy a lake house.
I wanted to fly my children to Disney World for a WEEK!

I have lots of WANTS.

And, I knew my job wouldn't cover more than my NEEDS.

So, MLM gave me an opportunity to excel and make my dreams become a reality.

I decided long ago, that I would do "what nobody else was doing".

I would go the "EXTRA, EXTRA MILE"

50 calls a day, every day was daunting!
Nobody in my upline was doing that.
Nobody in my downline was doing that.
Nobody in the entire company was doing that.

That's why I decided to do it.

Because not only would it make my "WANTS" become a reality, but nobody else was making 50 calls a day.

I'm a bit of a "maverick".

I like doing things nobody else does.

I like working my "butt" off for a reason.

Now, I showed you the front end and net result after one month (20 days actually) of making 1,000 calls:

26 NEW SIGNUPS!

That is the front end.

Here's my back end:

5 MLM Mastery Courses @ $249.95 each
15 Sit Back & Get Rich Books @ $29.95 each
10 Video Tape sales @ $20 each
4 Advertising Magic Sales @ $99 each

They bought that from the website I sent them to,or the FOD that was on the card, or the catalog I mailed to them 30 days later.

Oh, yes, I followed up at least every other month with some sort of offer.

You should too!

I sold:

$2,295 worth of "Information" on the back-end of those 50 phone calls a day.

I made 40% of that, or a $918 commission!

Multiply that times 12 months and you get:

$11,016 a year in back-end commissions!!!

Heck, I'd take the 11 grand a year even if NOBODY joined my MLM program!

You see, discipline is the key to this business.

I just work harder than 98% of the industry. I made more than 98% of the industry.

So, tell me, how many times have you called 50 people a day for your MLM business?

Once?
Twice?
NEVER???

"But, Robert, what would I say to them? Who would I call? I'm not good on the phone. I don't have any money to make those calls. I'd rather mail post-cards. I'm running ads online where I don't have to talk to anyone. Nobody would join with me."

These are common excuses to NOT doing the business.

If I told you that by making 50 calls a day that you'd sign up 312 people a year, and make an additional $11,000 just in back-end money, would you be interested?

That doesn't even include the money you'd make in the MLM program that you're putting them into!

If your MLM program pays you 15% on the first level and 40% on the second level, like mine does, here's what you would make if those 312 people were on $100 Auto-ship and only 50 of them sponsored 2 people in one year:

1st level: $7,500 a month
2nd level: $4,000 a month

That's $12,500 a month after one year.

Sure, not all 312 will stay active.
Not everyone will be on $100 Auto-Ship

But this is a MODEL!

You play with the numbers yourself and your own pay plan.

Charts and graphs do nothing but represent the possiblities.

But, it's within those possiblities that mountains are moved and I get "moved" to work myself out of my comfort zone!

Okay, let's back up a minute.

I know you're wondering "what" I said when I called my prospects.

That's simple.

My philosphy was to use the phone and mail to DRIVE traffic to my website.

I know I can place ads all over the web.
I know I can place ads in magazines.
I know I can direct mail a list.

But, I wanted to add a personal touch to my MLM business.

After all, MLM is a people business, isn't it?

So, I decided that if I wanted to be FREE, that I'd
be willing to spend 2-3 hours a day for my Freedom.

Would you?

Heck, I used to spend that much time a day dreamingof getting rich or just watching TV when I got home from work.

I felt that the 2-3 hours a night wasn't a sacrifice.

IT WAS A CHOICE!

I can't make that choice for you.

You have to decide which is more important in your life.

TV or your Freedom.
Dreaming or Living your Reality.

The choice is yours....

Okay, I decided to DRIVE traffic to my website with a personal touch.

I decided to do what nobody else was doing.
I decided to make 50 calls a day, come "hell or high-water"

My discipline paid off.
It will pay off for you, too.

Here's my script:

"Hi, (insert name here), my name is Robert, you recently responded to our ad about making extra money from home. Are you still looking for an opportunity, or have you found one?"

That's what I said to the 253 people I got hold of when I called 1,000 people.

50.9% of those 253 I TALKED TO, said yes to my Free offer.

Here's how it went.

If they said they were still looking for an opportunity I asked them if they had access to the Internet.

If they said "Yes", I gave them my website, or I took their e-mail address over the phone, just to ensure that they would get my information.

If they didn't have access to the Internet, I verified their address and mailed them the same information that was on my web page.

Simple enough.

I didn't try to "sell" them on the phone.

The sole purpose of the phone call was to "CAPTURE" their e-mail address.

Then, my auto-responder took over.

What was I giving away?

A "Free 7-Day Crash Course" on MLM.

It normally sells for $14.95 I told them, but they'd get it for Free if they went to my website.

Oh, by the way, I left the same script to the 469 who sent me to their voice mail!

Then, I'd drop a post-card in the mail to them, in addition to leaving them a message.

You see, I market differently than most.

I realize that more people will say "no" than say "yes".

With that in mind I have "stuff" for those people who say "no" to me, to buy.

"Stuff" like training books and tapes.
