Managing Business Opportunity Leads

In this article, we will discuss the use of Traffic Oasis with purchased Business Opportunity Leads.

Many of you are purchasing Oppseeker and Cutting Edge Media Leads, you phone them, then add up to 20 a day to your Response Magic Auto-responder.

You are building a nice list, however you are not connecting with a lot of people.

After great discussion with some of our leaders, we came up with a solution.

Traffic Oasis has a great auto-responder attached and you can manually add an unlimited number of leads to the system. We recommend uploading as many as you can in an hour. If you spent an hour on the phone, you might call 30 to 50 leads and add 20 to your autoresponder.

With our method, you can add up to 100 leads in an hour to your Traffic Oasis list. 100 leads a day relates to a list of 3000 new leads in a month!

Imagine the possibilities when you can personally email over 3000 people in a month, and if you continue the process .... your list will grow each month by over 3000 names!

Step #1. Register for Traffic Oasis

Traffic Oasis is more expensive than other Auto-responders, however ... consider this. With Traffic Oasis you receive 125 leads (there are other options, we recommend the 125) with email and phone number, each and every month. You can call these leads AND import them directly to your Traffic Oasis Auto-responder.

Traffic Oasis is $129.95 first month and $69.95 a month there after. (You receive 125 leads for your $69.95 plus use of the auto-responder).

Register here http://www.trafficoasis.com/index.php?133444 (Talk to your sponsor before joining and join from their link if possible).

BONUS TO NEW TRAFFIC OASIS MEMBERS - Subscribe and Upgrade and I will include 1000 Business Opportunity Seekers to help get your list started!

Your first batch of leads will take 15 to 30 days to arrive, this is plenty of time to setup your Auto-responder and begin adding Business Opportunity leads to your new list. I will show you how to pre-load messages to direct visitors to your GoShaklee site. If you are not yet a Shaklee Gold Ambassador, you can request more information here. If you are marketing another business, you will want to skip this section and create your own series of letters for your prospects.

Prospecting On Social Networks

Are you taking maximum advantage of the Social Networks available online? Most are free to join, however, upgraded memberships do have their privileges.

First, here is a list of my favourite Social Networks

#1 Favourite is AdlandPro #2 Favourite is Direct Matches

Other networks that are also excellent are MySpace and FaceBook

In this article, I am going to discuss the use of AdlandPro. Other social networks are very similar and you can use the techniques taught here and adapt them to fit any Social network.

Step One: Register with Adlandpro

I highly recommend upgrading to Gold or Gold Plus at Adlandpro as this option gives you so many advertising possibilities and the fact is ... when you set up your ads, you do get visitors. Setup the right ads and you'll be attracting the right prospects.

Step Two: Setup Your Profile

Adlandpro, as with most communities, allows you to advertise your business. I advertise my EarthFriendlyBiz website using my GDI redirect ie: http://www.askjanet.ws/ or I'll advertise my Blog I created for my GoShaklee site (http://freeproduct.blogspot.com/)

Note: If you want to learn how to create a blog with a lead capture form visit http://www.mywealthyblog.com/

Step Three: Invite New Friends

At the top of your AdlandPro member page, you will see an area that looks
similar to this:

There are currently 374 out of 55,353 members online: 15,757 visits today.
[More....]

By clicking [More....] you will be taken to a page that lists the Adlandpro members who are currently logged in to Adlandpro.

Go through the list and locate members in the areas where you Company is available (I do a search for Canada, USA, Mexico, Malaysia, Japan and Taiwan, as this is where Shaklee is available) and click on the link to visit their Adlandpro page. From their page, you can send an invitation request.

I like to include a brief message such as this:

Hi

Janet Legere here from Calgary, Alberta.

I saw you online and wanted to invite you to my friend's list here at
AdlandPro.

I look forward to learning how our paths may cross.

Regards,

Janet Legere
janet@janetlegere.com
403-274-2930
http://www.askjanet.ws/

Step Four: Making Contact

When your request is accepted, you will receive a notice from Adlandpro. Login to Adlandpro and send a welcome message to the new person. If they are online, you can initiate a chat with them through the AdlandPro system.

Step Five: Having a Conversation

Now that you have connected, treat your new prospect as you would if you were on the phone with them doing a "first step" call.

Some tips for breaking the ice:

Ask questions: Visit their Adlandpro page and find out what they are involved in at the moment. Ask them how long they have been involved and how their business is growing. Ask about their family, etc.

Spend time getting to know your prospect: just as in the First step calls, remember, your goal is to find a way to introduce your primary busines to your new prospect.

And that's all there is to it.

One morning, as a test, I invited 10 new members to my list, at the time of this posting all had responded positively and 3 sent reply messages. I logged in to connect with one of the respondent and we had a lovely chat on the Adlandpro chat facility. After a brief conversation she asked me what my primary business was and my response was: "Shaklee, have you heard of them? They were on Oprah in April for her Earth Day show, did you see it?". I then
proceed to share the 5 min clip from the Oprah show.

I recommend you login and make it a habit to invite 10 new members each day and do your best to follow-up with each person who responds positively to your invitation. You should see some increased activity in your business in no time!

If you are shy on good prospects, there is no need to be .... there are tens of thousands of them waiting to hear from you ... all you have to do is make contact.

Remember, this process can be adapted to work with any networking community. Have fun and most importantly, enjoy the process.

Please take the time to publish your comments and questions below and share your results with our community.

We are a team of leaders working together to help everyone grow.

Have a Great Day!

Master These Online Skills

The 3 Things You Need To Master To Grow Your Business Online

So you want to grow your business online, eh? GREAT ... welcome to a continually growing industry. I'm going to start this article with a warning. Marketing online is not difficult, however, there is so much to learn and so much information out there that it can seem difficult and confusing.

Today, I'm going to discuss the 3 things that I feel you need to master in order to grow your business on the Internet.

1. Mastering Your Auto-Responder
2. Mastering Online Advertising
3. Mastering The Art Of Follow-Up
   

#1 Mastering Your Auto-Responder

You need to master the use of an auto-responder. Can you live without one? Sure ... but you can live better WITH one ... trust me.

Your auto-responder can help you manage your leads, contact your leads and even help you generate leads.

Steps to mastering your Auto-responder

1. Register
2. Setup your lists
3. Setup your follow-up emals
4. Add new prospects
5. Send a broadcast email
6. Setup a subscriber form

1. Register

We recommend and use Response Magic. Register for your account here http://www.myautoresponder.info/

With Response Magic, you can manually enter up to 20 prospects a day without a required confirmation email. At 20 prospects a day, you'll add 600 prospects a month and 7,200 in a year! Prospects are the lifeline of your business and using a good auto-responder to manage your prospects if vital to the long term growth of your business.

Remember, the average individual will see your information 7 to 10 times before taking action and joining ... for some it's much longer!

2. Setup Your Lists

Once you are registered, you want to login to your account and setup your lists. You'll want to setup a list for the different leads you might generate. Example, I use a program called EarthFriendlyBiz (http://www.askjanet.ws/) and this program generates both leads and signups so I would setup a list at Response Magic for EFB Leads and one for EFB Members. You can adapt this to your situation.

If you are just beginning, you can create one list for your prospects and learn to followup and connect with them through your auto-responder.

3. Setup Your Follow-Up Emails

You'll need to setup an automated reply that your subscriber will receive immediately, as well, you'll want to setup a series of automated emails. You can write your own or contact your upline sponsor for a pre-written series. We offer our members pre-written letters they can just copy and paste to their auto-responder.

4. Add New Prospects

Once your list and letters are setup, you now need to add your prospects.

• People you meet who give you their business card
• People who email you and agree to subscribe to your list
• People you connect with on instant messenger
• Business Opportunity leads that you call

You'll want to add as much information as you have available so that you can keep good records for your prospects. Remember, your auto-responder is also a contact manager and you will be able to keep notes and records of your communication with prospects as the come through your 'system'.

5. Send A Broadcast Email

Auto-responders are a great resource to feed your prospects information about your business and the resources you use, however, it needs to be said that you should never rely on your automated messages to build the trust you need in your prospect. That comes in the form of personal emails that you can send by using the Broadcast email feature.

Once a week, at minimum, you need to send an email to your list with an update of your week, your progress in your business, you may share an article you enjoyed or share a lesson you learned. The idea is to let your reader begin to get to know you ... on a day to day level. Your prospects are not going to blindly join your program, you need to build a rapport with your prospects with the intent to encourage contact and action.

6. Setup A Subscriber Form

It's ok .. I can hear you gasping from here, but don't worry. It's not nearly has hard as you might think to create a subscriber form. In fact, I wrote an entire report on how to setup your Response Magic account and create a subscriber form to add to blog. Anyone can do this ... trust me! http://www.mywealthyblog.com/

Once your own blog is ready, you can then learn to advertise online using reputable resources to attract subscribers to your new list.

#2. Mastering Online Advertising

Mastering online advertising can be a full time job and that's why you leave the 'advertising' part to the masters and simply master the use of the resources we recommend. In this section, I'm going to discuss the use of a few simple resources. There are many programs in each category and they all function very similarly.

The key to mastering online advertising and making it work is to get the programs setup (basic setup) then learn how to use them and use them.

1. Traffic Exchanges

These can be an effective way to bring traffic to your new blog with the form to subscribe to your list. The key to a Traffic Exchange is to get the program setup (add your business url which in this case should be the new blog you setup with the subscriber form) then learn to surf a minimum number of sites each day to maximize the traffic to your site.

My traffic exchange of choice is TrafficSwarm. Join Free here. I highly recommend the monthly upgrade - you can set and "forget". I would enter this ad on Traffic Swarm

http://freeproduct.blogspot.com/

Once setup, you can earn credits by clicking ads. If you are an upgraded member, you will receive a set amount of credits each month based on your upgraded membership.

Let's move on and talk about using online lists and safelists.

2. Safelists and Other Online Lists

Safelists and other online lists, such as ListJoe and YourLuckyList all function quite similarly. You subscribe to the list and in doing so, you agree to receive email from other members of that list. In return, you have the ability to email members of the list.

My favourite list of all is List Joe. Upgrade to the onetime Lifetime upgrade of $197 and you can email 5000 random members every 3 days ... forever! And believe me, ListJoe members respond to ads!

Join List Joe here

With ListJoe, you can also read other ListJoe member's emails and earn further credits to send emails to ListJoe members. It's the most active member's site I have ever seen.

Make sure that once you join and upgrade that you login every three days to send your ad to invite ListJoe members to subscribe to your list and give them your new blog address with your auto-responder form (example: http://freeproduct.blogspot.com/)

3. Mastering The Art Of Follow-up

Ok, you've made it this far not don't close the page just yet ... anyone can master the art of follow-up, even you. We all had to learn how ... if you have no experience and are unsure of what to say and when to say it and how to say it ... you are NOT ALONE. We have all been there ... I was there too.

Learning to stay in touch and make contact with your prospects really is an art and it's one that we can all learn (or improve upon).

Following up includes the following:

• Phoning subscribers to your blog - this is NOT as scary as you think .. in fact, you are just following up to say hi and introduce yourself ... You'll be amazed at where some of these connections take you
• Phoning subscribers to your lead capture page - seriously, phoning your prospects makes all the difference in the world, and remember - these are not cold leads, these are people who subscribed to your list and know your name!
• Sending an email to all new subscribers with a personal welcome - you want to make sure your prospects have your information. If you connected on the phone, followup and include any information you talked about on the phone.
• Sending a broadcast email with new information, new resources and news, keeping your prospects informed - it's important to keep in touch on a regular basis ... each time you email your list you will find that someone new responds with questions or needs help. This gives you the opportunity to continue building that important relationship.
• Invite your prospects to see your business plan ... you never know who is going to be interested until you ask!

Don't know what to say? Ask your sponsor for help ....
Don't have a sponsor to help? Ask us ...

Success online is all about the size and responsiveness of your list. Learn to master your auto-responder, master online advertising and you will soon have a list with which you can master the art of follow-up and grow any business!

Focus all your online advertising to attracting subscribers to your list ... build your list and learn to follow-up with your new subscribers ... build a strong relationship of trust and reliability. Be available to answer your prospects questions and if you don't know the answer ... say so and do your best to find the answer.

As your prospects come to learn they can trust what you say and follow what you do they will also follow you into your business.

Be a leader and attract leaders to your business.

Until next time ... work on these skills and be the Master of Your Business!

Have a great day!
