There are 6 dirty secrets of mlm email leads and specifically the companies that provide these leads that you should be aware.

Everyone who starts an online or office business must have a never ending flow of pre-qualified prospects to market their business. There are two main methods of gaining these pre-qualified prospects; Local market and professional lead generation companies. The fastest method of finding pre-qualified prospects is by hiring a professional lead company that provides these targeted prospects for your business.

One question you need to ask yourself and the owner of any lead generation company you hire is “how are the leads generate?

The top tier professional lead generation companies use what I call a macro-marketing campaign to generate their databases. Macro-marketing is just another way of saying “they use all types of marketing methods simultaneously; the internet, email, telemarketing, ad campaigns, and direct mailing. The top few will then put their new prospects through a series of filters using proprietary software programs to provide you with the specific pre-qualified prospect you have requested.

I have been in network marketing profession close to 25 years and the last seven have been in the lead generation business with four of those seven running the world’s largest lead generation company to the network marketing arena. I have seen the good, bad and the ugly of lead companies. Some over promise and under deliver, while a handful have over delivered and under promised.

The 7 Dirty Secrets I am about to share are specific to mlm email leads and the companies short cut the processes created to deliver a solid email lead.

Dirty Secret 1 “Receive 50 FREE Leads to try out with no obligation”

There are several companies who love to offer free leads to everyone who gives their company a try. First, the leads that you get are usually very good, responsive, and often just a hours old which means the leads are “hot”. However, once you sign up for these free leads you, yourself start to receive an onslaught of emails from fellow entrepreneurs who are using the same company - In other words you become someone else’s Free Lead!

Dirty Secret 2 “We use an exclusive marketing campaign to generate our leads”

This is a bold face lie! 95% of lead companies in the business today, do not generate their own leads. Instead they do one of two things. They hire an online advertising network and buy specific data from them at wholesale. Or, they buy extra or aged data from other lead companies, which they in turn resell them to you. In this case the leads you are buying have in most cases been used and abused anywhere from 5-25 times. And you will know when this happens because your spam rate will be high, and your response rate will be significantly lower.

I have more information on who DOESN’T practice this technique here:

Top Quality MLM Email Leads

Dirty Secret 3 “Our leads are “Targeted” specialty to your MLM company”

One of the methods used to “capture” a perspective data is to put up what is called “pop-up or pop-under” windows on a highly ranked websites. These windows will ask if you if you want a FREE “Starbucks, Victoria’s Secret, Sears or some other card”. Before this prospect can receive the “free” card, they must first agree to receiving information from other offers. Then that company will sell this “incentized prospect” to two or more lead companies who will sell it 5 to 25 times. Now you go to a Lead Company and buy some mlm email leads. You don’t get “Targeted” email prospects, instead you get a cheap prospect who really doesn’t want to hear from you in the first place. What do you think your odds are in converting this prospect to a client or new team member?

Dirty Secret 4 “Our Leads are 24 Hours “fresh”.

90% of leads sold have been in the pipeline over 24 hours. Just the legitimate process used to generate a hot, fresh mlm email leads will take close to 24 hours. Then add in process of moving that lead to the lead company buying it, and then you buying it from them. By now we are at the 36 to 48 hour mark. The one time when this might not be true, is when the Lead company has hired an Ad network to place their own exclusive banners, landing pages and newsletters into the equation. When this happens the data is delivered directly to the lead company, and does not go through all the other processes. Make sure you read the find print on specifically what “24 hours” really means.

Dirty Secret 5 We offer “Company Specific” leads

Almost all lead companies indicate that they offer mlm company specific leads. They do this because they will use some type of offering with the name the company or a small picture of the company product is on the landing page, banner they use the generation the lead. For example a website has a “pop-up or pop-under” window if someone is interested in a earning money part time from home and they will use a small picture that looks like the popular mangosteen juice XanGo. Then they turn around and sell you the leads stating they are XanGo specific because they used a small picture of the XanGo bottle and mentioned mangosteen. This lead is no more company specific, than someone who just filled out a generic landing page.

Dirty Secret 6 Millions of people actively searching for a home business on the Internet

Now this statement in and of itself may be true. However, there are not millions of people who are seriously committed to starting a home business. Statistics show us that 80% of the people who say they “dream of owning their own business” do just that DREAM! I can tell you first hand that out of 10,000 mlm email leads, if you implement the two mathematically laws “law of averages” and the “law of large numbers” you will get 200 people to join your online system, and 5 who will join your team. So if a company tells you they have an unlimited amount of fresh email leads coming in daily, just know this does not mean the data is fresh or really looking for a home based business.

Ok, I have shared the “Dirty” side of lead generation, now let me share how to be successful with your mlm email lead:

1. The quality of the lead has a lot to do with your quality of presenting and closing the prospect. If you keep jumping from one lead company to another because the leads suck. It might be time to take a good look at your delivery.

2. Success with leads has more to do with sifting and sorting, than it does with quality of the data. If you are buying cheap email leads so you get the most quantity for your dollars, then expect it to take 3 to 6 months before you see the results you are looking for. The average marketing campaign takes 6 to 9 months before you will see results. The best mlm email leads in the world will do you no good if you aren’t using a quality email series an a reliable delivery system.

3. A quality generic mlm email lead (Sold once or twice within 45 days, and never more than 5 times over a 9 month period) is a good lead to start with if you are using a reputable autoresponder system. If you can afford to generate quality leads yourself then do it. Just remember that is not duplicable for the majority of your team.

Since I left ProSTEP, Inc in 2004, I have seen most of the quality in the lead generation business go down the drain. However, there is still one person who is willing to personally stand behind he data - Enrique Garibay, Founder of MLM Leads.

If you use his techniques and advice your mlm email lead campaign can bring the success you are looking for. If you have questions on lead generation of any kind give Enrique a call.

He is married to his high school sweetheart and best selling Romance Author Paige Winship Dooly.

Troy has devoted the last 25 years to studying the clues left by successful people who changed the course of history by leading with focus, passion and a servant’s heart. The clues he has found has been transformed in the strategic principles he is now passing on to this generation of catalyst leaders.

Fifteen of these 25 years were invested with the same company A.L. Williams (Primerica Financial Services.) In 1996 Troy left PFS to take a top field position with World Marketing Alliance (WMA) to help build their second wave of leaders.

IN 2000 WMA was sold and Troy relocated his family to the Beaches of the Emerald Coast of Florida where he quickly assumed the role of Exec. V.P. of ProSTEP, Inc., the worlds largest Support, Training and Lead Generation Company to the network marketing profession. In three short years Troy’s leadership helped to facilitate ProSTEP’s growth from a $5 million in annual revenue to well over $75 million in revenue.

Troy was also worked side-by-side Kevin Lehmann (Founder of ProSTEP) as his protege and helped create the macro-marketing system that acted as the catalyst for ProSTEP, Inc. to become the largest and most successful marketing agency )simultaneously on T.V., Radio, the Internet and Direct Mail) to the network marketing profession between 1994 - 2004.

This success opened the door to the current run of network marketing/home-based business infomercial’s, radio campaign, and Internet marketing system we see today.

In My Own Words…

Well, now that you have read the propaganda I would like to share a little from the heart so you can get to know the real me.

But like a Quentin Tarantino movie, I want to start at the end and move forward.

You would not be reading this today if it hadn’t been for one man seeing something in me and making me his protege back in 2001.

Kevin Lehmann, Founder & CEO of ProSTEP, Inc, once the world’s largest and most successful marketing, training and lead distribution company, took the time to mentor me in the craft of copy writing and marketing.

Kevin, retired a few years ago to pursue other interests, but it is his willingness to mentor me and propel me into the training arena that has given me the current platform to pass on to others what he taught me

Thank you Skipper for believing in me!!!!!

I am a former Marine, and Ex-Bounty Hunter, who grew up in and around the direct marketing profession since I was 7 years old.

I was born and raised in the Midwest, and married my high school sweetheart, who has blessed me with six children ranging in age from 24 to 4 (That’s what happens when you married a Romance writer.)

In 1995 Paige and I decided we wanted live at the beach. However it took a few years and several challenges before we saw this dream come true and I would like to share a little about what we went through to get where we are today.

By 1997 we had grown our WMA business to a point where we were ranked in the top 10% of income earners. However, due to a medical situation that was diagnosed with one of our daughters, and my own mismanagement of our income, we soon saw our expenses growing faster than our income.

By 1999 we were bankrupt. However, by this time Tessa had received pediatric kidney surgery by one of the most respected pediatric kidney surgeons in the US. Although, it cost us financially, we would do it all again to give her the opportunities she has today.

See, during the years when she had her disorder she could not swim, take baths or be submerged in any type of water. For a young girl whose biggest dream in life was to swim with Dolphins this was devastating.

However, by the end of 1999 everything was behind us. In March of 2000 we relocated to Destin, and have never looked back. As a matter of fact in July of 2000 Tessa had her dream come true. We have taken the day to rent a boat and go out to Dolphin Island so she could see the Dolphins. However, because of a pending storm the Dolphins were not swimming. She was a little frustrated as we were cruising back to the dock.

While my father-in-law was driving the boat back, I sat with Tessa on the back of the boat. Out of the blue a Dolphin jumped up and laid its head in her lap. You talk about a happy, yet scared little girl (Dolphins are BIG up close) it was her. In a flash her disappointment turned to an ecstatic joy. That was a turning point in our family. It was truly when we realized ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Currently I am a distributor with a Managed Internet Security company that launched a direct marketing arm about 3 years ago. We have been blessed to watch our team become the largest and fastest growing team in this company. Not because we did something miraculous, but because we knew a few, who knew a few, who knew a few.

I’m also currently working on a couple new training and support projects with one of the greatest friends a person could ever have, Enrique Garibay of MLMLeads.com.

Paige has gone on to write dozens of manuscripts, with four reaching the best sellers list, and her current book “Sweet Home Alabama” moving up the charts quickly. In the fall of this year she will have another new book hitting a bookstore near you.

My life is an open book and you will find that like most people who enter our profession, I was not born with all the answers. Maybe because I was young, or maybe because I had a big EGO in the beginning, it took years for me to finally get it right.

Now my passion is to help others discover their Chazown (Hebrew for Vision or Purpose) so if I can ever be of service please feel free to contact me personally.

Never Give Up,

Troy
