Just wanted to share with everyone a new Voice Broadcasting tool I just purchased.
It's an automatic prospecting system that makes all the cold calls for you along with a personal message and allows only the interested prospects to call you back or visit your website.
Check it out at LINK REMOVED. See forum rules.

Suzanne - Have you used the service yet? Keep us posted on results including amount spent, leads generated and of course $ generated. I'm hearing a lot about voice broadcasting but am having trouble finding out what types of results people are getting. Keep us all posted.

All the best,

Josh,

I was just looking through the forum archives (in search of something else) and ran across this post. I know there's not a lot of data out there on these systems, so I thought I'd post my recent statistics.

I suspect I'm using the same system as Suzanne, which is called iBuzzPro.

The following results are pulled right out of my back-office, from broadcasts I've sent in the last 30 days:

I hope this is helpful to anyone considering voice broadcasting.

Hey Jeff,
Pretty interesting stats. Where can I find info on this tool? Thanks for the post. lb

Lindy,

Posting from my iphone, so I'll be short.

The best place to learn more is the link in my signature below.

Hi Lindy,

Would you rather get the iBuzzPro system for from Suzanne or Jeff for $550 or get a system that does everything that iBuzzPro does for only $125?

Obviously it's your call Lindy.

Warmly,
~ David

[Jeff Hoffman Contribution Level: 2]

David,

Unfortunately, there's no such thing. If someone buys iBuzzPro from me, they get my personal mentoring, which is worth far more than $500. Ask the people on my team and they'll tell you, I work with them until they "get it."

If you're doing the same for $125, your time's not worth as much as mine.

That said, have you really looked at iBuzzPro? It's an incredible value, even without my time being part of the deal.

Respectfully,
Jeff

[David Batchelor Contribution Level: 3]

Hi Jeff,

What is there to get? The phone system is not complicated, so I am curious why people need you to hold their hand? And charge them an extra $425 for the privilege of doing so?

Well, we will just have to let the people decide on this one.

People you can choose to pay $550 if you agree with Jeff or get the same system for $125.

I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with the people on your team Jeff and ask them...if they could get the same system for $125 instead of $550, which would they prefer.

The systems are they same technology Jeff, so unless you are smoking something, where is the incredible value in paying an extra $425 for iBuzzPro, when they both have the same technology.

David,

Success with voice broadcasting is based on 2 factors: 1) your list, and 2) your message.

If you look at the statistics I posted above, I'm getting a response rate of anywhere between 5% to 15% on each broadcast I do. The magic is in the message.

Recently, I was talking to an industry veteran who's managed a ton of voice broadcasting campaigns for his consulting clients. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of calls went out under his supervision. While we were talking, he asked me what kind of response rate I was getting.

I told him, and he didn't believe me. So, I sent him a screenshot.

"Freaking amazing!" was his response.

I asked him, "You want to know my secret?" Of course, he said yes.

I told him what I do to get the response rate I do and he said, "Jeff, I hope you know what you just told me is worth thousands of dollars. If I were still managing voice campaigns, I could go back to my clients and tell them, 'How would you like to triple your response rate for $1,000?' and they would have paid it in an instant."

I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest, here... just to say that my team is buying my knowledge, my wisdom, and my mentoring on top of the toolset. They're buying, in essence, the $30,000 I've invested in my education since I began my journey in this business.

It's not about the technology, or the tool... it's about results, and I think the time I spend with my team, and the superior results they generate, is well worth the money they invest to be a part of my team.

Peace,
Jeff

P.S. The link in your signature is busted. Just an FYI. I hate it when that happens and no one says anything... it's like walking out of the bathroom with tissue on your shoe and no one tells you for hours.

[David Batchelor Contribution Level: 3]

Thanks for the hand up about the signature link Jeff.

No pissing contest here, just as long as people are aware that they are paying the extra $425 for your phone message Jeff.

Have a successful day!

~ David
