When you say system do you mean sales funnel process?

1. My system involves using lead capture pages with e-book and audios coupled together as a free product...
2. Then I present an One-Time-Offer for a low cost product normally for the cost of shipping and handling.
3. This allows me to judge if the prospect is willing to pay for something they need.
If they choose not to take me up on any paid offers, I place them on the free-offer-to-monthly payment path.

I've found most prospects who don't take me up on my one-time offer are more likely to respond to a payment plan type offer.

4. Those who take the offer for shipping go into my auto-responder for more offers around the $27-$47 range. If they take that offer, I place them on a low-cost product track in my sales funnel If they choose not to take my offer they are placed on the same track as the free-offer-to-monthly payment path, but I place them after the initial product offer which only cost shipping and handling.

5. If the prospect decides not to take me up on any offer, I send them a series of emails promoting the first offer of shipping and handling.

There are only 4 paths you can take in my sales funnel.

The first two paths determine the emotions of a prospect and their buying habits. My offers reflect their emotions i.e. fear of rejection, lack of confidence and fear of failure.

You have to remember the days of just presenting information to a blanket group of prospects without knowing their buying motivators is dying. Your system should include testing variables to uncover their buying motivation.

Here's how to get started using a sales funnel:

# Of Lead Capture Pages: 1
# Of 1 Time Offers: 2
# Of Products Offered: 2 Paid 1 Free Item of Value
# Of Auto-responders: 3

1. You will need a lead capture page to present your initial free offer.
This has to be something of value. Don't sell yourself short thinking you have nothing to offer of value. All you need to be an expert is know .01% more than your prospects. As long as they see you as knowing more, they will recognize the value you have to offer.

Pick a topic in Network marketing or Internet Marketing and read 2-3 books. You will be miles ahead of most prospects you encounter.

You can write your 10-15 page ebook, lace it with your affiliate links AND links that point to the first paid offer of your sales funnel. You can use free software to record your ebook into an audio and then pay $47-$67 to create professional cover for the ebook and audios.

That's what I did at first and you know what, it sounded and looked like professional products....priceless.

2. Find an affiliate product or your own product that is low cost, between $27-$47 and place it as a one time offer on the back of your lead capture page.

This should be the next step your prospect takes. It also allows you to get paid from prospects that you never enroll....what Mike Teaches. Simply go to Clickbank, Commission Junction or Paydot.com and look for entry level products. Create your affiliate link and then use a masking software to hide the URL and protect your commissions. (Vital step)

You want to position the first low-cost item right after your Free Item Of Value. It's been proven that buyers trust and motivation to buy is right after they take directed action from the seller.

**This means once they make the DECISION to move forward their trust is the highest. Dont get this confused with buying. Either way, an opt-in or a purchase, the prospect has chosen to trust you and complete the barter...their information for whatever you're offering.

3. Create 3 auto-responders one for each type of prospect i.e. the ones who don't take the paid offer, those who take the paid offer, and an upsell auto-responder for those who take the paid offer.

The biggest mistake I made initially was not segmenting my list. I thought I had to spend hours sorting and sifting prospects until I learned how to have prospect segment themselves using payment plan, low cost and upsell products. This step alone will save you time and frustration in the future

The system I use to run my entire sales funnel is 100% web-based and includes all the tracking, auto-responders and ad campaigns I need to run my business, Sponsor Reps Daily, Inc.

You can check it out here if you want....NOTE...that is my personally branded attraction marketing system....No one else has my sales funnel or uses my brand.

Hope this help.

I put together a video that explains my mlm system for generating leads. Hope you like it.

My preference now is MLSP for easy of duplication. I have been using my blog for a long time now and put this together for anyone who wants to "roll their own" MLM system.

Check it out at http://www.jfgrissom.com/effective-mlm-system-workflow

Most are basically made up of 7 components. The video I made goes over them, how they work and why anyone serious need these components.

The video is about 8 minutes long.

Hope you like it.

One component most people miss in terms of traffic is the non product handicap. Without a product you're highly limited in what you can do and test in terms of lead generation. Most people using systems and affiliate programs stick to things like ppc, articles, and videos to limit their risk. So what you'll notice as people share their traffic systems here is those without a product of their own will say something similar to what I've listed above. Not much variation, but those that have their own products will say the same and add to that list things like their own affiliate program, banner ads, text links, ppv marketing, cpa marketing, offline postcard drops ect. So the moral of the story is the one thing that will significantly widen your ability to self liquidate lead generate and allow you to get leads where others can't is the creation of your own product. And experience has shown me the more "generic" that product the farther the reach you'll enjoy in your lead generation efforts. This will translate into a larger audience for you as well as easier recruiting and more stable long term profitability of your business. Just food for thought . . .

So by generic you mean focused on a target market that is opportunity focused? Not just MLM focused?

[Daegan Smith Contribution Level: 2]

You got it! A unique USP, yet still maintain a broad appeal. You'll catch more customers that way.

BTW: When I talk about these things, I'm speaking more in realm of growing business "U" not so much just recruiting and duplication which is a sub niche inside of business you. I.E. Mike and Magnetic Spronsoring vs. Mike and the Coffee House Letter. Now, also depends on the lead generation strategy you use. If your business is based more on a strategy of affiliate traffic within a specific niche inside of the opportunity world like network marketing (Magnetic Sponsoring) you're fine if you've got good copy that creates reasonable cash flow for your affiliates, but, and I speak from a little bit of experience on this . . . It's hard to promote your own sub niched MLM product broadly.

One example, I used CPA networks for a decent amount of daily lead volume (2700+ on a good day), the only reason my MLM related product worked there was because I used the "free cd" model (cheap way to create an irresistible offer and remove resistance to purchase based on price) and highlighted the money and checks aspect while downplaying the MLM aspect. Had I gone into that arena with a more generic "make money online" product I would been able to pump that sucker up to the 10,000 lead a day range, so that's the next experiment.

Make sense?

Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are the best for free leads, and we all like free leads!Great Web 2.0 stuff right there.

Paid sites are PPC, and list builders. ie Viral and List Joe.

Cool accent Terry!

I agree with terry on this. I have found that PPC is least time consuming method.

Daegan's comments really can't be ignored because he is an industry "Heavy Hitter" so these are really valid.

I personally drive traffic from the items Terry mentioned above. Recently I have been doing a lot of keyword research and SEO work on my blog to pick up long term traffic naturally. The conversions for this class of visitors are very solid for the SEO work I have done so far.

It warrants more investigation for anyone who is working on a budget.
