Eliminate The Fear Of Calling Your Prospects

You know, I was thinking the other day and a GREEN light immediately came on in my head. It was really simple and I don’t know why I even overlooked this.
You see, I’ve been marketing online since 2006 and I know that follow up is VERY important. Getting prospects for your business is one thing, but do you have a strong follow up system in place?
Many online marketers fail for one reason only and that’s because they have weak follow up systems in place. Many people hate calling their leads on the phone. It doesn’t matter if the leads are warm or cold, calling leads probably is the most scariest thing that a marketer will ever face.
In every business that I’ve ever been a part of, I’ve always done better than my competition when I took the time to call my prospects and introduce myself to them. Calling prospects on the phone is frowned upon because in many cases, the person making the call feels like he/she is trying to sell something and if it’s one thing I’ve learned, most people are very poor salesmen/women! On the other hand, when you take the time to call a prospect, the prospect gets a good vibe and in many cases will buy or join what you have to offer.
As you may already know, my main business is EZ Wealth Solution and has been since June 2009. I always generate tour takers(prospects) for my business, but I never used to call my tour takers. I will say this much though. Back in July of 2009, I decided to give calling my prospects a try and it really paid off. I called 2 people on the phone and I closed both sales! Calling prospects is very powerful, but it is very time consuming in many cases. That is, up til now.
I came across a tool that allows me to send out voice broadcast messages to my prospects. It’s really simple to use. I simply set up an online account with Dialmycalls.com, create an audio voice broadcast that is uploaded to the system by phone, generate prospects for my business and then simply plug them into the system. It’s probably one of the best tools I’ve come across. So what if I generate 50 leads in one day? No problem. You can upload your 50 contacts information right into the system in CSV, XLX or XLSX format and schedule the system to send out your voicebroadcast instantly. You can all schedule calls to be sent out. This is good if you get leads in the early morning hours. You have the system call your leads at a reasonable time.
Lets take this scenario for a moment. Let’s say you market your online business as you should be doing. You get an email saying that you just got got a prospect. What would you do in this case? In most cases, you should at least send that person an email. It you want better results, you should manually pick up the phone and call this person. Well, with Dialmycalls.com, all you have to do is put your prospects number into the system and have it call your prospects for you. This tool totally eliminate the fear of calling prospects over the phone.
Anyway, I thought this would be helpful. To try this service out, just create a free account at Dialmycalls.com.

More Things You Need To Know About MLM, Business Opportunities And Affiliate Programs!
by Sean Grimes on November 16, 2009
in Articles, EZ Wealth Solution
The internet is FULL of MLM’s(Multi Level Marketing Companies), affiliate programs and business opportunities. Systems of that nature usually pay out REALLY low commissions. From my experience, you’ll want to promote a product or service that allows you to receive a HIGH commission on whatever it is your selling. I’m able to earn the money I do because I earn 100% on every sale I make. Now, this is not possible with MLM programs, binaries, matrices or even affiliate programs. Don’t get me wrong. A lot of money can be made online even if you aren’t earning 100%, but you’ll have to do LOTS of volume to bring in any serious money and most people simply don’t have enough marketing experience to generate high sales like Coca Cola for example. A typical commission payout is 5-20% with most MLM’s and business opportunities. From my experience, I could never make any real money from programs like that even if I made many sales. I now make in one day what I would make in 1-5 months from any given MLM.
Here is an example of what I’m getting at. I used to be with a popular MLM called GDI(Global Domains International). I personally referred 100’s of people to this company and had a downline in the hundreds. You may think that was enough to make some serious cash right? Wrong! I only earned $1 a month for every person that was in my downline. For all the work I did and money I spent on advertising, receiving a check in the mail for $150-$200 just didn’t sit right with me. I spent more on marketing and promoting than what I was earning. At $10 a month, GDI was a great entry level MLM and the fact that they paid out 10% was pretty good. 10% is actually a high commission payout for an MLM company, but as you can see in this example, I was working my butt off to make their company filthy rich!
You should also know that MLM not only requires that you do a lot of work, but you must also recruit people into your downline that will work just as hard as you. In my experience, I’ve found that out of 20 people you can recruit, only 1-2 will be good candidates for your business. This is why I don’t recommend MLM opportunities because you can waste a lot of time spinning your wheels only to recruit tire kickers(lazy people) into your downline.
You should promote something that will give you immediate access to your money. Most programs will make you wait at least one month before you receive a commission check. This was the case with GDI. This makes it very hard to self fund your business when you’re first starting out. By promoting a system that will give you immediate access to your money, you can put your earnings back into your business without having to pull out your Credit Card over and over as I had to do when I was with GDI.
You also should not promote anything that has a high payout threshold. From my experience, this is the most unethical thing any internet business can do. You see, most MLM businesses and affiliate programs do not want to give you a commission check as sad as it may sound. They can easily accomplish this by setting a high payout threshold by requiring you to earn $50-$100 or even more before they pay you any money. By doing this, the company is able to have many people promoting their service which may bring just a few sales for the people doing the promoting, but this will add up to many sales for the company. This is how MLM’s get a bad name. I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “Only the guys at the top make the real money.” Since most people will never reach the payout threshold in a timely manner, they’ll eventually quit without receiving one penny after doing a lot of hard work. So the company ends up keeping all of those unclaimed commissions.
It’s really up to you what you sell or promote, but like I said, from my experience, you won’t make any big money unless you’re marketing something that pays out 100% on what you earn.
You can sell affiliate products, but you’ll never earn 100% on sales and you’ll never get immediate access to your money. You’ll also need to know how to create splash pages if you want to promote affiliate products through networks such as Clickbank which can be a nightmare if you’re new to internet marketing.
I basically own my business outright. I own every product that I sell and I only have to pay a small admin fee of $10/month, but I’m able to earn $47, $97, $247, $497 and $997 instant cash payments by selling digital software products online. I also don’t have to share the profits with anyone which is really cool!
Taking the FREE TOUR will allow you to see the full power of this system.
Look deeper into your compensation plan and you’ll know what your company owners think you’re worth. Are you worth 5-10% or 100%?
The choice is yours!

Read This Before You Believe Another Scam.com Post
by Sean Grimes on July 31, 2009
in Articles
Many people will do their due diligence to try and find out as much as possible about an internet business opportunity before joining. That’s ok and should be done at all cost.
Many people achieve this by going to Google and doing a search on “company name scam” where company name is the name of the program/product or service they are looking for. In some cases, people may land upon a well known website called “Scam.com” who try warn people about potential internet scams.
Before heading over to their site, I must first tell you about a personal experience I had with Scam.com about a few years ago.
I landed on the Scam.com website because I was looking for information about “guaranteed signups” I ended up reading really good things about a particular guaranteed signups solution on their site so I ended up joining. I can’t remember the name of the company because it’s been so long ago, but just so you know, guaranteed signups are a complete waste of time and money so stay away from that form of advertising at all cost. Anyway, I bought the traffic and it was complete garbage. I got free guaranteed signups for my business, but they ALL had bogus email addresses with the domain name email.com. Some of the domains were different, but once looking closely into it, the domains all came from the same owner. I complained to the company and he pointed me to their TOS agreement. I wouldn’t say I was scammed, but I was taken advantage of for sure. You can never blame a company if you fail to read their TOS agreement. Anyway, I went and posted what had happened on Scam.com and you won’t believe what they did. Scam.com closed my account and blocked me from posting on their forum site. They removed all of my post as well. I didn’t use any foul language or anything either. You see, the referral link to the company that took advantage of me was in a signature of an admin/moderator of Scam.com
I won’t make assumptions here, but I think you can figure out why they may have done this.
Because of this, I take everything posted on Scam.com’s site as a grain of salt. Their content may be true, but I’m always skeptical because of my experience.
Also know that you can not trust a forum simply because it is a forum. In some cases, websites owners will hire forum posters to help bring the forum site up higher in the search engines. You can do a search on “hire forum posters” to see where I’m coming from.
Anyway, I hope this has been helpful in some way.

Controversial Ebook That Changed My Way Of Thinking…
by Sean Grimes on July 23, 2009
in Articles
Today, I want to discuss a controversial ebook I came in touch with about 3 months ago that changed my way of thinking and also changed how I market my business online. I wanted to hand this out sooner, but it was so controversial, I was actually afraid to. What made me decide to hand this book out it that almost immediately after reading it, my online business began to take a turn for the better. I seemed to make better decisions without procrastinating so much. Understand that this book really has nothing to do with marketing. It has more to deal with the human mind and the power of persuasion.
The book deals with brainwashing techniques that have been used for MANY years and are still used today. I was really shocked and a little upset when I first came across the ebook because even though I didn’t want to admit it, but a lot of what the author was saying SEEMED to be true as I looked deeper into it.
I’d like to give you access to this ebook, but I must warn that it may be very offensive to MOST people. This isn’t you typical ebook either. No links to click on are contained in it. It is all information.
Socrates said that an “unexamined life is not worth living” and I believe that to be true… examine your life, don’t take anything for granted and question what you’ve come to believe… some of what you believe may not even be yours! It may have been ’suggested’ to you at some earlier time in your life and you simply accepted it.
Don’t believe me? Get access to this ebook…(WARNING: it’s a little WEIRD and scary. If you’re easily offended and are closed minded, DON’T READ IT
After you read this book, ask yourself:
* Why do I believe what I believe (especially about making money)?
* What beliefs do I have now that are holding me back? I.e. planted suggestions that you accepted and made part of your belief system that are stopping you from succeeding?
* What do I need to believe (do you need to change your beliefs?) in order to get what I want in life?
These questions may not mean much to you now, but they will after reading this ebook.
I was going to simply place a link to this ebook right on this site, but I decided not to do that. I first would like for you to register and take a free tour of the system that is now allowing me earn at least $100 each and everyday online thanks to the mindset this ebook put me in. I’ve made as much as $435 in one day because of this ebook as well. It’s that powerful, but like I said, don’t read it if you’re easily offended.
Just register and take the free tour and I’ll get the book right over to you. Since I just added this book to my package that I give away to all of my tour takers, you may not have this you’ve already taken the free tour. If you’ve already taken the free tour and would like a copy, simply send me an email with a request and I’ll get it over to you as well.
Take The FREE Tour To Get This Powerful Book Now!
Anyway, I hope this book helps you in some way. Even if you are closed minded to new ideas, try your best to read this book even it upsets you because it may unlock the truth to what is holding back in every aspect of your life.

What You Must Understand About Network Marketing Scams
by Sean Grimes on July 13, 2009
in Articles
If you have surfed on the internet for any appreciable amount of time, then you might have come across some ads that are definitely eye-catching. They carry phrases such as “Make Thousands of Dollars Working From Home!” or “Earn $5000 for Fifteen Minutes A Day!” These ads, to say the least, are enticing to most of us, who are always looking for ways to improve the condition of our lives.
Unfortunately enough, it is often this desire to improve our financial condition that leads us into all the wrong ventures. When greed comes into play, rationality is often lost, and thus at any point in history there have always been people who have been tricked out of their hard-earned money.
Understanding the Nature of Network Marketing Scams
Network marketing is, by its nature, very susceptible to manipulation by unscrupulous individuals and organizations. After all, the majorities of people who enter into these types of ventures are generally inexperienced and know little about the nature of business. Often, they are simply answering an ad that they chanced upon in a newspaper, on TV, or on the internet.
Most people have an abundance of common sense in them, but when it comes to money – especially the prospect of making tons of it – most people simply lose much of their natural cautiousness. Even if what a network marketer says is almost too good to be true, there is always something in us that wants to know for sure. After all, we reason, this could be the opportunity that finally makes me rich.
Most network marketing scams present themselves as being simple and easy. In fact, this is a major selling point for most scams. Many people work very hard on their day jobs, spending their time and energy on the pressing tasks of the day. And yet they often find that even after all their hard work, they still are not where they want to be financially.
Enter the network marketer, who promises everyone that they can make tons of money by doing very minimal work. With their limited time and energy already being expended to the limit, they want to believe that there is a better way. After all, it might be the key to finally changing their life.
Being Cautious: The Cardinal Rule In Business
Warren Buffett, the famed investor, likes to quip that “you can’t do good business with bad people.” This is an adage that everyone must keep in mind. No matter who you business with, be absolutely sure that you are dealing with someone of integrity. Don’t simply look for intelligence and ambition, but for good moral character. If your erstwhile business partner has two of the aforementioned traits but not the third, you are literally asking to be swindled.
My Remedy: Avoid MLM At ALL Cost!

INTERNET BUSINESS INCOME OPPORTUNITY: FINDING A BUSINESS THAT WILL SUIT YOUR PRESNET NEEDS
by Sean Grimes on July 10, 2009
in Articles
Have you always wanted to move back home and take care of your ailing parent? If you have been thinking of moving back home to take care of your ailing parent, you should start planning on setting up an online business so that you can still earn good income without leaving the comforts of your home. There are many internet business income opportunity that you can find online so make the most of the online resources that you can find.
Finding the right internet business income opportunity could be very challenging especially if you have not really tried setting up your own business before. There are many things that you will need to consider when you are putting up an online business. First, you will need to find an internet business income opportunity that will suit your present skills. If you are good at designing websites of writing some articles, you should work without the realms of your skills. It is always very important to work within your sphere of expertise so that you will no longer spend so much time learning about new things. Although learning new things could be very interesting, you may not really have enough time to spend on learning new tricks anymore especially if you are already running out of time and money.
The second thing that you will need to consider when you want to engage in an internet business income opportunity is the amount of resources that you will need to put up as capital. Note that if you want to want to start a business with small capital, you should first make a study of the every opportunity present in the field. You must have enough information on how things work on a certain online business before you engage into it so that you will not waste too much time and money trying to work something out. If you are on a tight budget, you should make it a point to find one of those businesses that would require you minimal capital to get started. Do not start a very ambitious project that would require you to put considerable amount of money as capital if you do not want to drain your resources even before you actually get started. Start small if you have to and then slowly expand your business later on. Take your time to get things to a new level.
The third consideration that you must look into when you are looking for an internet business income opportunity is the sustainability of the undertaking. If you really want to be able to spend more time with your ailing parent without worrying where you will get money to pay the bills and buy some food, you should find an online business that could provide you with a long term income.

Let This Be A Wake Call For You
by Sean Grimes on July 10, 2009
in Articles
Just a brief post for today.
Imagine this.
You have a home based business and you’ve hired a guy. His job is to advertise your business for you.
That being said, I have a really big question for you. Based on your previous and current performance of marketing your current home based business, if the guy in the previous example marketed your business the exact same way you are marketing your business now, would you fire him?
It’s really sad, but most people will have to answer a big YES to that question whether if they want to admit it or not. It amazes me though. I see many people join a business opportunity or MLM program. These same people go in knowing that they will have to promote their business, but many of them always end up pointing the finger at their sponsor or the company they belong to when things don’t go their way.
The above analogy was brought to my attention by one of my mentors Ron Walsh the other day and it really hit home. I do pretty good when it comes to marketing my business, but I know I can do more. When I do more, I have great results. When I slack, I have poor results. It’s that simple. Even the guru marketer has to market and promote his business. We all have to if we want to see good results.
Let this serve as a wake up call to you. If you’re failing, it’s not because of your sponsor or the MLM company you belong to. The problem lies within you. There is an old saying I always like to use: “If you point the finger at someone, there’s always 3 pointing back at you.” How true that is.
Anyway, I hope this has inspired you in some way.
Take care.

The Honest Truth About EVERY MLM Business Opportunity
by Sean Grimes on July 5, 2009
in Articles
If you’re an online marketer of any experience level and are still involved with ANY MLM company such as Global Domains International(GDI), GlobalNPN, Shaklee or any other MLM, it’s time for a wake up call. I’m sorry to say this, but I already know that 9 times out of 10, you aren’t making the amount of money you want and in most cases, you aren’t making any money at all with your MLM business opportunity. Also understand that I didn’t randomly pop up on the internet and to start bashing MLM companies either. That is not the case or my goal here. I’ve been marketing online for 4 years now at the time of this writing, have recruited many people into my organizations and have seen and touched the money that people can make from MLM’s. Trust me, in MOST cases, the money that is made by most people is not much to get excited over.
The sad truth is that most people will NEVER make enough money from MLM to quit their day job. The reason for this is very simple too. You see, most MLM companies do not pay out enough commissions for starters. The average is 5%-20%. If you want to make serious money in MLM, you must recruit A LOT of people. When I say A LOT, I’m not talking 10-20 people a month. I’m talking hundreds of people each and every month. The average joe will NEVER be able to do this.
Also, in MLM your main goal is to recruit like minded people into your organization who want to build the business just like you. This can be very difficult because you’ll never know where a persons head is really at. A person will tell you they are dedicated and motivated, but as soon as something doesn’t go their way, they’ll be out looking for the next best MLM program. From my experience, most people who join a given MLM business opportunity will quit within 1-3 months.
Another hang up with MLM’s is the payout threshold. To me, this is by far the worst thing any MLM can do. This is when you earn $20 for example, but you can’t receive it because the company won’t pay out until you reach $50 in earnings! MLM’s are able to to get away with murder here because most people will quit before they ever reach the payout threshold. I’ve seen these limits as high as $100! That’s just insane and is not to any members advantage.
So we have 3 necessary things so far to make money in MLM.
1. You need to recruit a lot of people
2. Your new recruits MUST business minded people just as you are who won’t quit when things don’t go their way
3. You must bust the MLM threshold to receive a MONTHLY check.
Fact! Only motivated and determined people who REALLY want to make money online will be able to do so. If you’re a person who simply likes the idea of making money online, but are not willing to put in any work, your chances of making money are slim to none. I don’t care how great your MLM is or how awesome of a presentation your MLM gives. If you are a person who waste time, whines, blames and complains when something doesn’t go your way, this industry will only make you whine, blame and complain even more.
You see, I’ve recruited MANY people into my MLM downlines over the years. I recruited many people, but only got paid chump change for all of my hard work and effort. Lets take a very well known MLM for example called Global Domains International(GDI). I’m actually still with GDI, but I don’t actively promote it anymore. You can make a lot of money from GDI, but you must recruit a lot of people. GDI pays out $1 per month on each person in your downline 5 levels down. At a time, I used to have about 100 members in my downline and I was only earning $100 a month. The company keeps a whopping 90% to themselves! I know that many people would love to make that kind of money online, but I have many things going on now that are far more easier that allow me to earn $100 each and everyday. I used to be with another MLM that cost $100 a (Worldprofit) a month where I made $1000 for a few months until I just got fed up with the CEO. I earned $20 a month on each referral. I had to keep about 25 people in my downline. I also had to do some other requirements to reach $1000 a month in commissions plus I had to make all kinds of phone calls for this to happen(which I hated). Get this though. The company got to keep the other 80% on every sale I brought their way. People would quit as soon as they joined. Some people would even join and quit in the very same day! I was the exception though. Many people simply could not do what I taught them to do so they failed miserably! This is how I know that most people involved in MLM are not making the kind the money that will allow them to quit their day job.
Another reason why you won’t make the big money in MLM is because MLM companies simply do not pay out enough commissions. Let’s say that you’re involved in an MLM company that cost $100 a month to join. You then recruit 5 people. An average payout in MLM is anywhere from 5%-20%. That’s means you may earn anywhere from $5-$20 a month per person(some like GDI only pay $1 a month) and that’s only on your first level. That’s really not all that bad, but once you figure in your marketing expenses, you will not have made much profit. Also, just because you recruit a person it doesn’t mean that he/she will remain an active member. You’ll always be recruiting and replacing members in your MLM downline. It can be a big headache. Even if you do reach the point where you have 100 ACTIVE members in your downline, you’ll only be earning $500-$2000 a month($150 a month or less in many cases) and remember, that’s assuming that the members are on your 1st level. Remember, in MLM the CEO or the lucky guy at the top will ALWAYS get a larger portion of ALL commissions that are paid out. It’s no scam. It’s just the way it is.
Since most people will only recruit a few members into their organization each month, why ANYONE would waste their time on MLM puzzles me. To be fair, I know that people join MLM because that’s all they know about. People are not aware of any other ways to make money online. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of money can be made from MLM’s. I still belong to a few myself. It’s just that I’ve spent a lot of time building MLM’s. When I compare the results I had with MLM verses what I’m doing now, there is absolutely no comparison whatsoever. In 2 of my MLM programs, I have downlines of about 50 people in each and only make about $100 between the both of them every month! My new business has allowed me to earn about $3500 in one month and I didn’t have to do a lot of recruiting for this to happen.
If you are a person who is dedicated, doesn’t jump around from program to program and is fed up with the chump change you get paid in MLM, I may have something that interest you.
For the past month from the time of this write up, I’ve been earning anywhere from $100-$435 each and every day on the internet. I earn 100% commissions and I don’t have to wait to the end of the month to get my money either. I promote this like I would promote any other business. I don’t have to be a super recruiter either since I earn 100% on all of my sales. I just so happen to be with a company who allows me to earn 100% on all sales instead of a measly 5% to 20% and best of all, I don’t have to wait to get paid so I can reinvest my money back into the business right away.
If you want to know what I’m doing, just follow the link below and take the free tour. I’ll also get you set up to attend our Live training seminars for life just by taking the free tour. This is the same training that many guru marketers charge $1000’s for. My team doesn’t work like that. We’ll train you BEFORE you decide to partner with us.
The way the economy is right now, I don’t have time to fool around with matrix programs or an MLM program that pays out chump change. I can’t reply on a downline full of lazy people to put money in my pockets also. I have to promote something that will allow me to earn serious money where I don’t have to wait til the end of the month to receive it.
Anyway, I hope this has been helpful in some way.

Huh? 31.95% DON’T know what a “Squeeze Page” is?
by Sean Grimes on January 23, 2009
in Articles, General, Marketing Tips
Recently, James Grandstaff revealed something
that I found quite interesting…
If you’ve been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you’ve most likely heard the term “squeeze page” before, right?
At least that’s what I thought.
Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc…
One of the questions was “Do you know what a
“Squeeze Page” is?”
68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.
To be honest…
I was shocked that 31.95% said no.
What about you?
In light of this shocking survey data I decided to
write this post today to go over the very basics
of what a squeeze page is and why you should
be using them in your business (if you are not
already.)
And for those of you who already use them, pay
attention. You will probably learn something too.
Here goes…
A squeeze page which is also known as a “lead
capture page” or “name squeeze page” is a simple
web page with one purpose; to get your visitor
to give you their name and email address so you
can follow-up with them. That’s it.
One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in
to your squeeze page is by offering something
of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse
or a highly targeted eBook.
For example, let’s say you are promoting a multi-
level marketing business opportunity. The products
are great and you are a raving fan.
Most people would just start promoting the website
the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect
opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page
and offer something of value first.
That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with
an introduction of yourself and begin building a
long lasting business relationship.
In sales, what we are really selling is “us” first,
then the product.
You always want to provide value first. Once your
prospects warm up to you, then it’s time to ask the
right questions to determine if your product or
business opportunity can help solve their needs.
If you’d like to see a high quality, high converting
squeeze page that James has put together, you
can visit the link below.
It’s important to read the “thank you” page on the
other side you can get an idea of how the whole
process works.
Until next time…
Yours in success,

Worldprofit System Review: An Honest Money Making Opportunity Or Scam?
by Sean Grimes on January 2, 2009
in Articles, General
The intentions of this review to is provide anyone that may be considering to join Worldprofit with valuable information regarding their home business opportunity. Since I used to be an active dealer with their system, I can provide you with some pros and the cons that may better help you decide if their system is indeed for you. For the sake of this review, I will only deal with the business opportunity side of Worldprofit and not focus too much on their products. Also know that I was a dealer about 2 years ago from the date of this post. Try not to get confused it if seems like I’m speaking in both the past and present at the same time.
If you know of Worldprofit, you probably know about their Live Business Center as well. The Live Business Center(LBC) allows dealers to let other dealers have the ability to close deals for them. For example, if you purchase a Platinum package, you can place the Live Business Center code on your dealer website that will show other Worldprofit dealers that are closing sales for people in real time. So whenever a prospect visits your website that has this code on it, any other dealers that are working as monitors can communicate with your guest and get them to fill out the form on your page and also direct them to watch the systems videos that explain the program in great detail. This is a very good concept, but it also has some disadvantages as well. One drawback to this is that you must rely on the integrity of the people that will be working as monitors. Many prospects have complained how they were handled in the LBC. Such complaints have been about rudeness, sarcasm and just plain old meanness. Many people including myself have actually lost many interested prospects because of the LBC. I still have a log I kept that consist of chat post and emails from prospects who felt they were treated very badly. Another bad feature about the Live Business Center code is that it has the ability to be hacked and has been hacked quite a few times. In the past, hackers have hacked the LBC code and disrupted the flow business in a very bad way. These hackers will send all kinds of vulgar and nasty remarks across the system. Just imagine if the LBC got hacked at a time where you did a major advertising campaign. Your guess will then be rudely greeted by a bunch of filthy remarks. They have since tightened up their security, but any code has the ability to be hacked
Another factor that you want to consider before joining Worldprofit is their compensation program. When I was a member, they paid 20% on all 1st and 5% on 2nd level sales. If you went in at the Platinum level about 2 years ago, you would have had to pay over $2000 to get your system up. Now, lets say that you were to bring in one person at the Silver level(the package that most people used to get since it was cheaper) which was $99 every month at the time, you’d only earn $20 every month that person keeps the system. This had no leverage at all compared to many programs that cost less than that to join. You can find quite a few systems that will allow you to earn $400 or $1000 on every sale you make and you’ll get immediate access to your funds.
Another drawback when I was a member is that many people were not aware of the fact that if they decided to quit the system, they would have to pay an early exit fee if they didn’t pay the total cost of their package upfront. This was more so a problem with the individual and not the system. You must beware and make sure that you read the terms of services before you join any system like this.
Something I must add is that the monitors in the LBC did not get many perks for doing their job. I recruited a member who came in at the $2000 level. He was an excellent monitor, but for some reason, he never could get one sale. He closed many sales for other people he didn’t even know, but never earned any money with the system himself. Did he traffic to his site? Yes, I know this because I actually did some advertising for him. He just didn’t have good luck with the system. Me on the other hand, I was able to recruit members in my sleep and I never did any monitoring. What I’m getting at is that it was people like the person who I recruited who the kept the system going smooth for people like me who didn’t do any monitoring. This began to upset the CEO of the company(Dr. Jeffrey Lant). I had a few heated phone calls with him where be both said our fair share of 4 letter words.
One positive that I must mention about this system, is that they do teach inexperienced marketers how to pick up the phone and close their own deals. The key to making money with any system is communication. The only drawback about Worldprofits approach is that they are more concerned with closing the deal that building a relationship. This turns many people away from the system because this approach can seem rude to people.
Worldprofit was the first system where I had any kind of success. Now that I’m more into Internet Marketing, I never call prospects. I do recommend Worldprofit, but I would make sure that you check with your sponsor to see if any changes have been implemented.
I have since create my own marketing system where I allow anyone to build their own primary business. My system doesn’t have a Live Business Center, but I give it away for free.
So if you’d like to get your feet wet before you join Worldprofit or any other system, feel free to try my free Marketing System below.
Take care.
