Hey, somebody buys a book from me and they love it, don't you think they're going to remember WHO they bought it from?

You bet they are.

Here's a quick re-cap of my 1,000 Phone call formula

278 Bad Phone numbers--I mailed them a post-card anyway.
469 Voice Mails--I left my script on their voice mail and dropped my post-card in the mail to them as well.
124 Screamed "No" to me and hung up--I dropped them a post-card in the mail to them anyway. Hey, I figured this guys wife was in the room and he wouldn't dare say yes to me!
129 Said "Yes" I'm interested in what you've got. I either gave them my e-mail address, got their e-mail address, or mailed them my information.
Net results:
26 New Recruits
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
$1,106 in back-end money

Here's what I had to "go through" to get this:

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

Would you?
Would you?
Would you?

Is your reason "WHY" big enough to become disciplined in this way?

Or, are you just making excuses and "playing" MLM?

If you are, that's okay.

Just don't criticize those of us who are working hard to make our dreams become a reality.

We're not perfect.
Neither are our "systems".

But, at least we have a game plan and are taking action.

Do you? Are you?

I wish I had a "quick fix" for you.
I wish there was an easier way.
I wish you could recruit your next door neighbor and quit your job next month.

But, that isn't how it works.

Oh, I also wish everyone I called was pleasant.

They aren't.

This isn't church social hour.
This isn't your 10 year reuinon list you're calling.

You're calling BROKE, Depressed, Desparate and sometimes intoxicated people!

You have to realize the NUMBERS of telemarketing.

Smile and Dial.

That's how I overcome the NUMBERS.

Yes, one night I called 50 people and got NOTHING!

25 disconnects
15 voice mails
10 screaming people

Those 10 people who screamed at me said all sorts of ugly things.

"I never answered any dumb ad"
"That was over a year ago"
"How the hell did you get my phone number?"
"I told the last guy who called to take me off your @#$% LIST!"

So, get ready.

Did I stop?

No.

Why not?

Because I knew the RESULTS my job would give me.

My job gave me my NEEDS.

I still had my WANTS!

See the difference?
See the distinction?
See what kept me going?

I didn't let 50 grumpy people upset and stop me.

Will you?
Do you?

Is your deam that small that 50 strangers can stop you dead in your tracks?

I never understand what people who drop out of my lead program are going to do for leads!

Are they just going to stop prospecting?
If they are, how are they going to build their business?

I know other lead programs and systems aren't that much better, if any, than mine.

How do I know that?

Because I've been in most of them.

Their leads aren't any better than mine.
Their ads run right next to mine in magazines and card decks.

We're both compiling the names of the same people!

Don't you think when somebody answers your MLM specific ad in a publication that they're also answering about a dozen others?

Sure they are.

Why pay $10 to $30 for a lead when you can pay 50 cents?

I used to pay $10 per lead in magazines.

I got 100 leads for my $1,000 and I got basically the same results that I just shared with you earlier in this article.

I then realized that prospecting was a numbers game.
I then realized that people spend more money advertising their MLM than they did on their MLM product or service.

I then realized that it was easier signing someone up in a lead program than it was in my main MLM program.

There are 1,000's of health and nutritional programs.
There are less than 5 good lead companies.

Think about that one for a while.

That's why I started my own lead program!!!

I'm here today to give you the proper expectations of telemarketing your way to freedom.

Just like when a plane takes off.

You know what I mean.

You've just sighed a sigh of relief that you're off the ground and the plane is heading upwards at a 45% degree angle.

You relax just for a second.

Then, out of nowhere you FEEL and HEAR this pop under your feet.

All sorts of things go through your mind:

"The bottom of the plane just split open under me"
"A small bomb just went off"
"There's a 400 lb Gorilla who just broke loose in cargo!"

Get my drift?

But, what if somebody told you before you took off that you'd hear this noise, and worse yet, even feel this noise and it was simply the landing gear retracting back into the plane so it could fly safer and faster.

You'd be alright, wouldn't you?

That's why I have to prepare you today.

If you are sick and tired of your current lifestyle and you feel like your life is a CD with a skip on it--forever playing the same "tune" over and over again, then use telemarketing to gain your freedom.

Not only will your MLM business grow, you will grow as a person.

You will meet some great people all over this country.
You will sharpen your skills as a person and marketer.
And, you will gain your Freedom!

Remember, you're not going to get "everyone" you call into your MLM business.

Not everyone is ready for your offer.
Not everyone is going to be nice.
Not everyone is going to tell you the truth--some flat out lie!
Not everyone has an understanding spouse--for their 10th deal in 6 months!

But, you're not after everyone, now are you?

75% of your income in MLM will come from 2-3 "legs".

So, you're looking for 2-3 leaders out of 1,000.

I converted 2.6% out of 1,000 phone calls.
You may do better.
You may do worse.

That's life, isn't it?

It's not what Robert can do.
You know what I can do--I just shared it.
You know what my "best" is.
You know what to "expect"

Now it's your turn.
Now it's time for you to do your "best" to gain your freedom.

Or, it's time to just turn another page of your life and hit the pillow tonight with no game plan, no action and with the same predictable results you had today, yesterday and this last year.

Or is it?

Change your life today.
Change your direction today.
Push yourself today.
Push until it hurts.
And, trust me, it's going to hurt.

You're going to doubt yourself.
You're going to want to quit.
You're going to want to join another program
just because you think it will be easier than this one.

I know.

I thought all those things, too!

But, I decided to "stick with" one program for 1 year and make 12,000 calls.

And, IF, after that, I wanted to change a program, I would.

That was my condition for leaving.

What's yours?

What's your downlines "exit plan".

I give my downline one.

If they get discouraged and "hint" that they are going to quit, I say:

"You can quit when you call 50 people a day for a year--and if you're not willing to do that, then you're not willing to do what it takes to make $100,000 a year!"

Sound too rough?
No, it isn't.

This isn't a game.
This is about changing your direction.
This is about gaining your freedom.
If it was EASY, then anyone and everyone would have already
done it.

Hey, you want to replace and even exceed your income you have at your job and set in motion a residual income that your children's, children can reap, but you're not willing to give up 2-3 hours a night, for 1 year for it?

COME ON!!!

If you're going to play in the big leagues you've got to start acting like a big leaguer!

Stop whining.
Stop making excuses.
Stop looking for other people to do the work for you.
Work hard.
Work every night.
Work yourself into a lifestyle you sit at work dreaming about.
Stop dropping out because you get 25 disconnected phone numbers!
GET REAL!!!

That's why people talk about the 80/20 rule.

People quit before they get started.
I made it just by doing the "numbers".

Just my "energy" alone helped me over the finish line!

With all those "flat rate" phone services ranging from $49 to $199 a month there is no excuse that you can't afford to make 1,000 calls.

You can't afford NOT TO make these calls.

It changed my life.
It made me a better person.

It will for you, too.

Start today.

Smile and dial 50 numbers a day.
They're just 10 digits per number.

Behind those numbers you'll find people just
like you.

They're frustrated.
They're scared.
They fight over money like you do.
They've bounced a few checks.
They've been passed over for promotion at work , too.
They need a new car, too.
They need new clothes.
Their children need a good health plan, too.

Hey, they're no different than you.

Don't you wish somebody would call you tonight with a solution to your financial problems?

They do.

Make those 50 calls.

It will change your life.
You will make a difference in others.

I did!

Sincerely,
Robert Blackman
