Making it Work

Making it Work
Hey… You’re Not Done Yet!
by Morgana Braveraven

Building a contact list – oh what a task, what a job! It’s so complicated, takes so long, and is so confusing! And yet, if you are building a business online you’re success and livelihood will depend upon your contact list. Building your contact list is one thing. But learning to use it effectively must be mastered if you really want to succeed.

Most people build a list and then stop there. They think they are done… but, they are certainly not. It reminds me of the way Devlyn Steele (Tools To Life) talks about marriage. He says that people get married and mistakenly think that the journey is over and they are set for life! Of course, that is not the case… The path to marriage is easy! It’s after the “I do’s” have stumbled out, after the dancing and the mashing of cake, that the real work begins! If you don’t work at your marriage consistently over time, you’re going to be in a mess of trouble!

And the same can be said of a contact list. Building the list is the easy part. Making the list work for you is the real challenge, and it’s where the work begins.

I’m sure you’ve been added to one or two personal contact lists, and I’m sure you are familiar with the old ad slam… Now how much sense does this make: Joe sends and ad to Mary. Mary doesn’t read it, but grabs Joe’s email address out of the ad and slams her ad right back to Joe. Joe immediately deletes Mary’s ad and fires another ad back at Mary, who, not wanting to be one-upped, deletes Joes ad and torpedoes a second ad straight back to him…

Goodness – this could go on indefinitely! It’s like a full out Ad War… comical, but not especially productive! Neither party is reading the other’s ad, and both are failing miserably at building a strong list.

So, what have they missed? Hmmmm, let me think…

Now what do you suppose would happen if Mary wrote back to Joe and said, “Hey, Joe, thanks for your info. How’s everything going with your program? …”

Oh my goodness, I think we may be on to something here! Mary has taken an intelligent step outside of the ad war and opened up the opportunity for (now wait for it, it’s coming… here it is!) …a relationship to develop.

As the saying goes – Gee, that was easy!

I think that you can see where I am going here. List building is not about slamming ads back and forth – ads that no one reads. List building is about developing relationships with the people on your contact list .

You often hear people say The Money is in the List. Well, that’s not quite true. The money is actually in the follow-up, and in the relationship. So if you have found that simply sending ads out to your contact list is getting you nowhere in a hurry, then you would probably do well to back up a little and master some relationship building skills to really get that list working for you.

List building is definitely not a matter of if you build it they will come…

If you want to learn list-building skills from the best, learn the fine art of building a strong, responsive contact list and get your business growing then I invite you to learn how to get a free Lifetime Membership to Janet Legere’s ‘Contact List Builder Program’.

Voice Mail Broadcasting to Leads

For the past several month, I've used the resources at ProBuilderPlus to send VoiceMail broadcasts to my lists.

I can send a voice mail to my members, my prospects, my family. I can announce a special event or meeting.

And I can do it all for just .04 cents a minute.

I can contact thousands of people in just minutes - and the results have been great!

I purchase leads from places like Oppseeker leads
~NEWS FLASH ... HALF PRICE (2 for 1) LEAD SALE UNTIL JULY 16TH~
http://www.oppseekingleads.biz/1583

I then upload the file to my ProBuilder Plus account. You can subscribe to ProBuilder plus for just $29.95 a month and have unlimited access to the Voice Mail system at only .04 cents a minute - this is affordable marketing!

http://sykaro.toolsuccess.com

Below, I will walk you through how to use this sytem.

Even the phone shy can do this one!

Ok ... I'm going to go through each step here and show you how simple it is. I'll even include a script you can use - seriously, even the phone shy can do this.

With the Voice Mail Broadcasting system, you can send a phone message to your list of prospects.

We are seeing some phenomenal results.

Here are the instructions.

Login to Your ProBuilderPlus Account

NOTE: You must be an upgraded member to access this feature Join free then upgrade here

From within your PBP PRO Account

• Click on My Tools
• Click on Voice Mail Broadcasting

Step One - Recording Your Script

Your first order of business is recording a message that will be sent to your leads. Follow the directions to Record your script. The phone number and your special 'PIN' number are listed in your back office. It's really easy to do and you can re-record as many times as you need.

HINT: Many of your calls will land in your contacts voice mail. As there is a delay before your contacts answering machine picks up, it's best to include a delay message as you will note in the script below. This way, if your contact answers the phone, they will not receive dead space, they will hear your prompt. Areas highlighted in red need to be edited with your contact information.

Here is a very friendly generic script you can use.

Hello, if you answered your phone live, please stand by for an important message about your future from Janet Legere in Calgary

Pause here 2 or 3 seconds

Hi, Janet Legere calling from Alberta Canada ... If you are still looking to build a home business and the financial freedom that goes with it then I have exciting news. My partners and I are looking for three leaders, or leaders in training, to join our team. But you have to act fast ... these three spots'll fill quickly. Call me back at 403-274-2930. I look forward to hearing from you ... Have a Great Day! Call Janet Legere at 403-274-2930 talk soon.

Here is a script I am currently using to direct people to my Primary Business. You can adapt this one for your own business.

Hello, if you answered your phone live, please stand by for a recorded message from Janet Legere in Calgary

Pause here for 2 or 3 seconds, then continue:

Hi, it's Janet Legere calling from Calgary, Canada. Listen, you care about the environment, right? We all do ~ it's hard not to when you see the climatic changes happening all around us. I want to invite you to watch a brief yet powerful video that features the most influential person in the world. You'll learn how you can do a big part to help our planet and you'll soon see why we are so passionate about our primary business. Please visit www.helpingourplanet.com and call me when your done ok? Again, the website address is www.helpingourplanet.com. My name is Janet Legere and you can reach me here in Calgary is 403-274-2930. Talk soon nd have a green day. Bye for now.

Step Two: Create A Group

Now that you have recorded your script, you are ready to create your groups and import your leads. Name your group according to the leads you are importing. Example: oppseekerleads - for your leads purchased from Oppseekers system.

Step Three: Import Your Leads

Once you create your group, you are now ready to import the file with your leads. Your file must be in a .csv (comma separated value) format and the information must be listed in this format:

XXX-XXX-XXXX,firstname,lastname

If your phone numbers are not formatted in this manner they will not be imported. The system only imports valid numbers.

HINT: when creating your lead file, add your phone number to the list so that you receive your call

You May Purchase leads from one of these excellent resources:

I uploaded my Traffic Oasis leads (we receive 130 names with phone numbers each month for $69.95 - a bargain at .50 a lead).

Here is the link for TrafficOasis:
http://www.trafficoasis.com/index.php?133444

I also use leads from MLM Mastermind, you can get your first 100 leads for free, then they are just $1 each:
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=592240

~NEWS FLASH ... HALF PRICE LEAD SALE UNTIL JULY 16TH~ Another great lead source is Oppseeker leads. You can purchase a variety of leads from Oppseekers and exceptionally reasonable rates - Grab some while they are on for half price!:
http://www.oppseekingleads.biz/1583


Step Four: Purchase your minutes

Now that your script is recorded and your leads are imported, it's time to purchase some minutes. You can purchase 650 minutes for $25.00.

NOTE: When you broadcast your message, the system will deduct 2 minutes for each phone call. You must take this into consideration when purchasing minutes.

Any unused minutes are credited back to your account when the calls are complete. My message is under one minute long so in this instance, my account would be credited for the additional minute per call.

Example: If I send a call to a list of 300 leads, the system will deduct 600 minutes. If my script is one minute long, then my account will be credited for 300 minutes at the end (once all calls go out).

Step Five: Broadcast Your Message

Now it's time to get your message out there!

Select your group (lead list) and select your message and press that button to broadcast. Then sit back and be prepared for your phone to ring.

HINT: When your leads do call back, be friendly and let them direct your call. Find out if they are involved in a home business, are they looking?

Make your summer sizzle with VoiceMail Broadcasting! Come back and post your results in our comments area ok?

Have a great week!

Does PIF4P still work?

I'm reminded on a constant basis, how important it is to get back to basics once in a while. I haven't been actively using some of my basic resources since January 2007.

Are you wondering why?

There's a very good reason you see and that reason is our Primary business. It was about January that our Primary business began to take over our lives ... in a good way, of course.

(If you want more information about our primary business, simply fill out the form at the top of this page to watch an exciting video that explains everything you need to know)

As it happens, I was reminded the other day that I needed to get back to basics and that meant coming back to PayItForward4Profits.

A very successful resource for me in the past, I was curious if it still had the same power it did 6 months ago ... and guess what I found.

IT IS JUST AS POWERFUL NOW AS EVER ~ if not more so!

Just as I knew it would be ... the system is sound and proven to work.

So, if you are looking for a way to fund your Internet activities and help you build a strong business, then take a new look at PayItForward4Profits.

http://sykaro.payitforward4profits.com

I'm always available to answer your questions and direct you as best I can. Let me know how I can help you, ok?

Have a great and empowering day!
