I am using leads and results are meager but it is not my main method of advertising. It is no more than very small part of my effort and I do mean effort. Good advice. We would all do well to take it seriously. Earl Good Stuff!

I am using leads and results are meager but it is not my main method of advertising. It is no more than very small part of my effort and I do mean effort.

Good advice. We would all do well to take it seriously.

This explains advertising and makes more sense than any advise I'v had. I have read the same thing but it was not worded so you could make any sense out of it. Thank you very much.

As you say in your article people need to be interested in what you have to offer, buying leads are not specifically targeted to your offer.

My article is advising not to use the 'lead blasting' method of marketing as your MAIN marketing process. "Yes, emailing to bulk leads can have a place in your marketing plan but you need to know a bit more about it before you can just go at it. Point being you should NOT be importing leads as your MAIN method of generating leads for your business." No I think you missed the point.

You say don't buy leads but, you sell leads within the NPN system. So why contradictory statement. Don't Understand Luz Hey Jeoff

Explain something to me. You say don’t buy leads but, you sell leads within the NPN system. So why contradictory statement.

Don’t Understand

I have tried buying leads in the past and I find that the conversion rate is much lower than with leads you generate on your own. Generic home business leads are not specific to your opportunity and replies such as "get lost creep" are not uncommon. Additionally, if you market where other marketers hang out they will have a better grasp on your business model and will need less training. Randy Totally true Geoff.

I've saved so much time! And once they're in the NPN mailer they're followed up automatically.

If you don't test you'll have no idea what works and more importantly, what doesn't. Steve,

Yes I agree. If you don’t test you’ll have no idea what works and more importantly, what doesn’t.
