Cold calling prospects, forget it I found a better way

By John Wallen

I have to first tell you. For almost five years I have been a network marketer, and I am no stranger to using many of those so called traffic generators. Trust me, if you start promoting that way, your inbox will fill up with nothing but other opportunities.

I was once a leadaholic. Purchasing leads from every where. On the phone everyday calling, and calling, then calling some more. Thinking in some insane way it would be different with each new list.

After a while, a little light went off in my head, and I thought to myself, this is doing nothing for my business. You don't think do ya! The same thing with those online traffic generators. Ten bucks here, ten bucks there. I just wanted something that worked.

A little while after that I was talking to my sponsor. He was telling me, he wasn't using paid leads anymore. You don't say! That was a very time consuming and frustrating path, but that was all he knew how to do at the time.

I wasn't surprised when he tells me these very things are not working. He told me he couldn't feel his ear anymore because of all those useless calls he was making. Costing way to much, talking to people that have no interest in being in a home business.

The marketing system he was now implementing, he called the magnetic system, he was having great success with for a few months now. I got started taking a look at this as soon as we got off the phone. Well, I generated 896 leads in 2 months from people that were interested in networking a business or the one they were already in!

This one first step I started to use, paid for my advertising, brought all those leads to me, and I still made a profit of almost a thousand dollars. This has helped me sponsor the right people into my business and can for you too, but only if you let it!
