Buy Customers - Not Leads

 
It's Good Business to buy customers not leads
 

Customers are the key to business success, yes even on the Internet.
All too often I see lead generating services asking you to pay astronomical
prices for leads they claim are quality, one of a kind exclusive leads.
 
Well, we all know that isn't the case, what's really going on is people
are capturing other peoples addresses and regurgitating them out
as new. Or, so called qualified leads that really are just some survey some
person filled out, clicked the box "I'm interested in a home business" just
to get some $500.00 gift card to the local sizzler. 
 
And how much do these "qualified" "targeted" leads go for in the market
place? I've heard easily $200.00 a month for 10,000.  Your buying junk
that is unqualified, soliciting and marketing to deaf ears.  I'm sorry to
have to be the one to tell you this, but thats pretty much how it works.
 
Now, If there was a way to invest back into your home based business
and receive residuals in return for that investment guaranteed, that
would be worth something. 
 
Internet Marketing is changing, we can only sell to each other for so
long until we are tired and fed up.  Lets not forget the predators out
there waiting to pounce on the newbie as they enter the Internet
Marketing Social scene.  No wonder so many are beat up, skeptical
and thinking small, who can you trust?
 
There is a new age upon us, cooperative business models where you can
invest and purchase customers, customers who are already buying so thus
guaranteeing a return on your investment.  It's almost like purchasing a
CD, you invest your hard earned cash and receive high interest for it.
 
Seems to me to be a no brainier. 
 
The ability to buy customers and never buy leads again is here. 
 
The amount of time you spend processing the needs of a customer are far less than
trying to obtain someone into your business to sell for you. 
 
The old way of depending on someone else to increase your sales and market share
is going no where.  Investing in an educational program like Its Good Business where
you can learn and understand the concept of buying customers and never buying
leads again and freeing yourself of that rut.
 
The MLM market as we know it today, is oversaturated, over priced and
quite possibly elitist.  Very few earn an income that can achieve the
success to self sustain them.  Buying existing satisfied customers
who are already purchasing product allows everyone to earn and grow
at their own pace.  This practice has been implemented  quietly for
years now, but is growing as Its Good business educates the masses.
Although this is an unusual approach, it has all the ear marks of a
new business building success plan for the successful Internet Marketing Entrepreneur.

Home Based Business

 
 

Choosing a Home Based Business Opportunity
 

Choosing the right home internet marketing business opportunities
 
"Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form
habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny." -  Tyron Edwards
 
I know I've spent a lot of time on the sales aspect of internet marketing.
It's what I love to do best!  But I think it's time we take a step back
for a minute and evaluate what we do here. 
 
There are many different opportunities in network marketing and many different ways to sell them. The most important thing you can do is find something that you are passionate about, something that you get excited about and that personally interests you for starters.  What we do can be very tedious at times, if we are not enjoying what we are marketing, it becomes difficult to write about, talk about, or stay self motivated.
 
As I continue to learn and grow here in Internet Marketing Wonderland.. I have
found myself part of several groups where there a teams working together on
specific opportunities, usually, these rooms go silent.  Why you ask?  Because
the few carry the weight of the rest and at some point the give and take becomes all about taking. 
 
Clearly these "takers" are out of their element, overwhelmed and unable to grasp the opportunity they are in.  Their motivation for being involved?
 
Purely to get rich quick with out any effort. 
 
They never succeed and end up running around bashing the program they invested in.  But what they didn't invest in it... was their time.  Time is the most costly and valuable commodity we put into our online businesses. 
 
It is something, unlike a 9-5 job, that doesn't pay when you start out.  You must leverage your time in order to gain income in the future.  So choosing what excites you instead of how much it pays is very important. 
 
Trust me, if you put in the time, you will see an income.
 
Ask yourself these questions when considering an opportunity.
 
Can I see myself talking about this in a positive manner for years to come?
Can I imagine myself walking into someone's office and present this as an
opportunity that can grow their business and make them money?
 
Is my motivation with this opportunity to build a steady income or to get
rich quick irregardless of the consequences?
 
Is it something that I can sell outside of the internet if given the opportunity.
 
What kind of company am I aligning myself with?
 
If you are considering an opportunity, do your homework in regards to the reputation of the company you are considering investing in.  Once you opt in, you become the face of that company to your customers and prospects.  It's your reputation that is on the line not theirs.  If you don't choose wisely, you can destroy your internet business in a heart beat representing something that over promises and under delivers.
 
Be wary of this.  Think long and hard about this point.  Trust me, if it sounds
too good to be true... it isn't.
 
All the questions I asked you to consider point to two things, longevity and reputation.
 
Both are things that involve you.  If one gets caught up in the big pay out, realize that it is very very hard to get someone to invest that kind of money and what true substance does that program really provide in return?  Do you have people already interested in wanting invest that kind of sum?  If you do, then maybe it's a good opportunity. 
 
If you don't, how easy do you think it will be to get a return on
your investment.  I know a person who has been Network Marketing on the internet for over a decade, bought into a program that has a 2k price tag on it.  You know the kind, where you have to drag people to a cyber call in to listen to a someone say "buy my program, I and only I can teach you the way to make money on the internet. 
 
If you cant sell this program you aren't a closer and you need me
to do it for you.  All for the price of 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS!"  If after a decade
you don't have a base that can invest 2k, why on earth would you choose that
opportunity.  You're setting yourself up for failure.
 
On the other hand, if you look at opportunities that are affordable investments
cash wise, interest and excite you, odds are in the long run you would've made
2k in a decade.  My poor associate is still waiting for that big sale.  He spends all his time in social networks trying to get people to attend this call.
 
Eventually, if it hasn't happened already, he will be known as the guy who wants you to spend 2k.  His reputation will be in the cyber toilet.
 
Always opt for something that you see a value in, that you can be proud of and
most importantly that you believe in.  Your sales techniques will improve at
an incredible rate if you know why you invested, what positives you see and what growth potential you believe there is.
 
Yes folks, it really is that simple.  You just needed to hear it.

"Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers." Anthony Robbins
 
I've sat and listened to numerous self designated expert Internet "salesmen" telling you how they are successful and you will never be as good as them. I say yes you can. It just takes practice. Now folks, I don’t profess to be any sage guru, any expert except that I've been doing this in the real world for many years. It is innate at this point, automatic, and I have many successful business owners outside of the Internet that can attest to the fact that I helped grow their sales and impact their company's bottom line and I still do.
 
Sales and marketing is what I do for a living, I eat sleep and breathe it every day. I know you can learn it too. Folks, I know it can be uncomfortable coming out from behind the screen and reaching out to a stranger, up until now I bet you've enjoyed the anonymity. We all hate telemarketers, but that is not what I am speaking of, these are your prospects that opted to give you their telephone number. You have piqued their interest. Reaching out and asking the right questions and listening, I mean really listening to the answers, will guide you in what your prospect's needs are. Think of it as a courtesy call. No selling, just sharing information and ideas.
 
Handling objections is a very subtle topic; you may not realize they are objecting. Simple responses are, "I'm not ready at this time", "I'll think about it", "I don’t understand your product", "I need to do more research" are among many I hear for Internet sales. I don’t suppose you've run across these subtle responses. They sound reasonable and the untrained ear may think that is a reasonable response.
 
You may have found yourself answering in that manner. But ask yourself what did you really mean by that? You know what the answer is, you were trying to put off the decision. Ask your customer that very question; always ask an open ended question that requires more than a yes or no. Information is knowledge, and you learn about your prospect and his needs. Have a pad and paper at hand and right down the whys and why not answers. Don’t ever be afraid of getting a flat out no.  Personally, I love no's. That’s when the selling starts. Now don’t get me wrong,when I say selling, it's really in the context of being an adviser, an ally, a consultant, and most importantly a mentor.
 
When I do receive a "no" I simply ask one question..."now that we've agreed that we don’t have a fit, would you mind telling me why you are not interested". Now you can put that in any words you want that you are comfortable saying but it is the one thing a prospect doesn't expect. The perception that you have accepted and respected their answer. You have, but you've created, in one simple sentence an environment and an atmosphere that allows them to put their guard down and tell you what they really think. Folks, that is the key to sales,communication and the exchange of information.
 
When starting a new business and growing it, you need to nurture it, online or off.  The time, effort and hard work has to be put in.  It may be tedious at times and frustrating but Veretekk and their trainers are here to support you, help keep you motivated and focused.  Use them, learn from them.  Overtime, if you apply what you learn and use Veretekk as it is meant to be, a tool, you wont have to call the masses of the Internet.....they will call you.
