We Need Your Opinion

I could really use your help.  Do you see that poll over on the right, if you could take about 10 seconds and take the poll, I would really appreciate it.  If you need to review things, just click on this link to see the different types of leads we have now.

Here’s why I need your help.

We get phone calls all the time asking different types of questions, but there are two questions that seem to make me pause and evaluate things with National-Leads.com.

1. Why don’t you offer “this or that” type of lead? Do you think you could start offering that?
2. There are too many choices when trying to figure out what to get. Why do you offer so many types of leads?

After trying to figure this out on my own, I thought it best to ask you for help.  We want to have a site that works best for most people.  I know that every day we lose potential customers because there are too many choices.  I know that every day we lose customers because we don’t have what they’re looking for.

After you take the poll, feel free to leave any comments as well that may help clarify your vote.  Here’s a summary of the 4 options:

1. You need to have my lead types. There are other types of good leads that you just don’t seem to have.
2. I like the way things are. NL has good choices and don’t change anything.
3. It’s a bit much.  Maybe you could cut back on a few types of leads so it’s a little less crowded.
4. It’s way too much.  It’s hard to figure out the difference between all the different types of leads. NL would be better off just having a few different types of leads.

There you go.  I appreciate you taking 10 seconds to vote… and… if you feel like it… a comment below too.

“Don’t Buy Leads!”

“Don’t Buy Leads!” How many times have you seen that headline? I know I have seen it hundreds of times over the last couple of years.

Do you understand the underlying message in that headline?

Here is what they are really trying to say – “Don’t buy leads; instead buy my program where I can teach you to generate your own leads.”

I know you probably know that, but once you read through their sales page, you are probably thinking, “Yes, I can do that too.”

Now, I’m not saying that a person cannot generate their own leads… in fact I think that’s a good thing. But, let me caution you on two things:

1) Generating your own leads is expensive. I have been told by dozens and dozens of people who tried these programs and ended up spending hundreds, and in many cases thousands of dollars on ads, more training, research tools, etc.

Don’t ever believe that the cost of the program is going to be your only expense.

What they found was that it was costing them, on average, $25-$30 to generate one lead – and they had not enrolled anyone yet. To generate 25-50 leads this way, before enrolling one person, can make things rather pricey.

2) Of the people who have spoken to me, one of their top frustrations has been in the time it has taken. Spending 10-20 hours per week in ad testing, copy writing, researching, and of course more training is not uncommon. One guy told me he spends 50+ hours per week!

Furthermore, these people told me that the courses they bought usually had some kind of back-end referral program… which ultimately distracted them from building their primary business. It kind of defeats the purpose.

Let me conclude by saying this – I am not against a person generating their own leads. But, while there are benefits in doing it yourself, you need to ask the question:

“Why would you want to or need to?”

You don’t see the owner of a McDonalds cooking the hamburgers, cleaning the tables, taking orders, making fries, cleaning the shake machine, doing the accounting, hiring and firing, and trying to do it all himself.  It’s not that he/she couldn’t do those jobs, but why would he?

If the owner of a McDonalds wouldn’t do all those jobs, why should you?

A business owner does what he/she does best, and then outsources or hires others to do what they do best.

If you’re going to be successful, you need to let that concept sink in deep.

That is where National-Leads.com comes in. For 98% of networkers, they need a quality leads company to put in front of them qualified prospects that they can present their business to. That is what we do best!

Let me be the first to say that if you buy 100 leads, there are going to be a few duds and sour grapes in the bunch. Part of that is just reality, and part of that can be overcome with different approaches and more experience.

BUT, if you were generating you own leads, you would still have duds and sour grapes in your bunch too. It’s just that when you generate your own leads and you get a bad lead – it just cost you $25 – $30 instead.

Besides, we will replace that bad lead. When you do it yourself, you’re just out the money.

Into our seventh year, we have focused on one thing – To Provide The Highest Quality Leads For The Best Possible Price.

That’s our mission statement.

So, if you’ve not tried our leads, we have some good news for you. If it’s been a while since you’ve used our leads, or even if you are a regular customer, we have some good news for you too!

The bottom line – even if you could, why would you? It is one more thing to take you away from your primary focus of building your business.

Let us do what we do best so you can do what you do best.

Power Buy MLM Email Leads Special

Just dropping a note to let you know that we have put all of our email leads on a “Power Buy” special through February 12.  A “Power Buy” is getting the most leads for your money.

During this time we will Triple your leads order.  Quite simply, if you order 10,000 email leads, we will send you 30,000 email leads. 

All of the details are laid out at National Leads

If you are new to email marketing, let me give you the basics of what I consider an effective way to build your business. 

Many people just dump a bunch of email leads into an autoresponder and send them straight to their business opportunity website.  That is okay, but I don’t believe that is the most effective way to do it, especially for the long term.  Here is what I suggest.

1. Use an email sender, like JmailerPro (see more about it here), to send out your leads.
2. Drive the traffic to your personal home business landing page (aka MLM Squeeze Page)
3. Capture your prospect’s information on the landing page using Aweber.
4. Then, send a series of highly targeted messages to this qualified prospect using Aweber as your autoresponder.

The reason I like doing things this way is that #1 you are building your own list of personally generated leads, #2 you can send out an email at any time to this qualified list of prospects in case your company has some special promotion, new product, or you are making a special recruiting push, and #3 if you would ever change companies, or begin working with a new company, you already have your own list of people to market to.

That is what I would do. To me, it makes the most sense for the long term.

New Autoresponder With High Deliverability

I try to review and locate autoresponders that can still be used by email marketers today.   We have a webpage on our site that is dedicated to autoresponder reviews that allow you to import leads that you’ve purchased.  We are adding a new autoresponder that is getting high deliverability.

It is called JMailerPro.

Here is what is different about it.  You buy it and host it on your own server.  It is MUCH easier than that sounds.  In fact, you’ll wonder why you did anything else.

Here are some of the features of JMailerPro:

1. You don’t pay per e-mails going out.   The limitations of the mailer are 8640 per day (which is over 250,000 per month), but for one person that’s typically plenty to generate a good flow of qualified leads.  If you need more, then just set up a second account.
2. No re-occurring fees other than your web hosting ($9.95) and needing to purchased opt-in leads.
3. No tricky settings to send e-mail. Very straightforward. Just watch the videos on their website.
4. You have your own domain name and IP address.  Other mailing services attempt to rotate ip’s between all their clients trying to stay deliverable, but unless they have 1 IP per client, the response to your emailings over a short period of time become ineffective as more are using the service.  JMailerPro incorporates a single ip and domain name, so 1 person mailing from this single server can e-mail for a long time.   You have complete control, so if you find your domain name and IP blacklisted months later, it’s as simple as purchasing another domain name and hosting account and your ready to go again!
5. Emails coming from your own mailing server can also come from your own domain. This is HUGE!   Example: If your domain is www.abc.com, you can send an e-mail to virtually any ISP with the return address of yourname@abc.com instead of a disposable Gmail or Yahoo address or whatever, and it will land in the recipients inbox, not the trash or bulk email folder!  Major ISP’s recognize that a “from” e-mail address that matches the IP and mailserver typically won’t be UCE (unsolicited commercial e-mail).  This helps get your message in front of your prospect!  You will find a better response rate because prospects are not having to dig in their trash folder to find your e-mail (if they dig at all).

The Bottom line is you have complete control over your email marketing campaigns without waiting on a 3rd party to do what it takes to keep your campaign deliverable and effective. It’s like having your own mini-dedicated server without all the hassles!

All the steps are laid out on their website.  But, basically you will need:

1. Get a domain name.  I highly recommend getting a .com domain.  Don’t mess with the .biz, .info, or whatever else.  A .com domain is more trusted and could improve your deliverability.  You can register your domain when you are buying your web host. Or you can go register one at Namecheap.com, 1and1.com, or wherever.  I would stay away from GoDaddy since you are going to be doing email marketing.
2. Get your web host package from Host Gator. Click on the button that says “Web Hosting Plans” and then you will need to choose the “Baby Plan.”  You’ll see it is only $9.95 per month.  JMailerPro recommends you use the Host Gator Coupon Code: hgc25 to get your first month for a penny.
3. Buy your JMailerPro license.  You can set it all up yourself, or pay $10 more to have them do it.  I highly recommend letting them do it.

That’s it.  You’re ready to roll!

Once you have it set up, you’ll need leads.  Through January 31st, 2010, to help you get started, just use the following PROMO CODE to save 25% off the regular price of your leads:

PROMO CODE  =  JMAILERPRO

( ** Please note ** when using the promo code, you MUST click the small, black “update” button after you enter the code or it will not give you the 25% off.  If you need help, just watch the video at this link:  Promo Code Video )

Go back to our National Leads home page and find the email leads you need.

I really believe this is HUGE for 2010!!  It will raise your game to a new level.  Granted, you still will need to work on using good subject lines, good email copy, and getting the click through to your site, but this is probably the best autoresponder system I have seen available for marketers in 7 years.

To get started, just go to JMailerPro.

Don’t Be A Whiner Or A Wiener

It’s a new year.  Stop doing the things that have not delivered for you in 2009 and do something new.  Let me give you some suggestions:

FIRST, get hooked up with Dani Johnson.  If you do nothing else, get to her First Steps seminar.  It WILL change you and your business.  Get her script book for calling through your leads.  Get hooked up with her information.  Dani Johnson is the only person I endorse for complete training for yourself and building your home business.

SECOND, get on the Peak Impact Live Calls.  Hear experts calling through leads, what they’re saying, how they handle objections, what they don’t do that you do, and what they do that you don’t.  Click on the link for the call schedule.

I’ve mentioned before that all of our phone leads, real time leads, specialty leads, and survey leads are all from Peak Impact.  You get all the benefits from Peak Impact for less when you order through National Leads.  You get the best leads in the industry for less through National Leads.

THIRD, check out our new Instant Voice Leads.  These are powerful, powerful leads.   The Voice Leads are one of the most popular ones for us…customers have great luck with them…the prospects seem more committed, when they have to physically leave a message, rather than just filling a form out online!

Just click on the link above to listen to the same information that the prospect hears before leaving you a voice mail as to why they should join your business.  Read the 3 points as to how these leads work.  It is not only a powerful lead, it is a cool lead too!

BE BOLD this year!  Don’t be a whiner or a wiener.  Whiners complain and blame everyone else for their problems.  Wieners are weak, spineless, and lack the ability to lead.

Getting Things Rolling in 2010

Here it is 10 days into the New Year.  Traditionally, on the 10th of the month, most people have moved on from the holiday season, taken down their Christmas decorations, and their kids are back in school.  It’s time to resume life as normal again.

Well… almost.

One of the best things to do RIGHT NOW is to take advantage of this premium time of the year to recruit.  Don’t waste January by dabbling in your business.

Here are three lead plans:

1) The 1,000 Leads Combo Package – Total Cost – $724.

Get the following leads and burn up your phone for the rest of January:

• Buy 600 Discount Survey Leads ($252)
• Buy 300 Fresh Survey Leads ($237)
• Buy 100 Real Time Leads ($235)

These would each be purchased separately.  It would set you on a pace to go through about 75 leads per day through the end of the month.  Imagine what it could do to your business to call through 1,000 leads.  The ROI on this package could be quite high!

2) The 500 Leads Combo Package – Total Cost – $386

• Buy 300 Discount Survey Leads ($135)
• Buy 150 Fresh Survey Leads ($126)
• Buy 50 Real Time Leads ($125)

Same as above, but half the leads.  This would still be giving you 30 – 50 leads per day through January.  Lots of leads.  A ton of activity!

3) The 1,500 Leads Blitz Package – Total Cost – $462

• Buy 1,400 Discount Survey Leads ($462)

With this package you buy 1,400 leads and we will include an extra 10% with your order, giving you over 1,500 leads (making the cost per lead at only 30 cents).  This is the all-out Blitz package.  It will give you 100 leads to call per day through the end of January.

Let me say it again – January is not the time to dable.

I’ve mentioned many times over the last 7 years about a guy by the name of Jett.  He has been the #1 distributor in his company for about 15 straight years.  Why?  He doesn’t dable either.  He goes all out. 

One of the biggest differences between the top earners, like Jett, and the average distributor is the number of people they talk to.  Do you know how many times a guy like Jett has heard the word “No?”  If you are going to talk to a lot of people, you are going to hear a lot of “No’s.”  If you aren’t willing to deal with the No answers, you will never get to the Yes answers.

January is the beginning.  Don’t waste January by planning, plotting, scheming, dreaming.  Take MASSIVE action today on building your business!  Buy the leads that are going to give you the most numbers of prospects to talk to.

The Dip, by Seth Godin

If there is one book you need before December 31st, it is Seth Godin’s “The Dip.”

It is a very short book, it’s inexpensive.  You can get it dirt cheap at Amazon, or you can get the abridged audio on iTunes.   I went to Barnes and Noble and bought mine for $5.

It is not a new book.  In fact, I bought it a couple of years ago, but there isn’t a better book to go through at the end of the year than this little book. 

It’s a book about 3 things:

1. Why you want to be the “Best In The World” at what you do
2. When you need to stick with something through “The Dip” so you can be the best in the world
3. When and what you need to quit so that you can be the best in the world.

I would say the simple things I learned from this short book are what enabled me to reach beyond “just getting by” and moving on to a greater level of success.  In fact, I put on my cell phone the phrase, “What do I need to quit?” so that every time I went to use my cell phone, I was reminded of this principle.

So, if you have a dog, cat, fish, or some other pet, go buy the book and wrap it up as a gift from your pet to you.  It’s a great way to get a gift for yourself .

Anyway, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.  I bought this book for a pastor, who in turn bought it for the entire leadership to go through.  It’s a book that can help you eliminate the distractions to focus on what is going to take you to the top.

Try Our Super Fresh Survey Leads

If you are stuck between wanting a cheap MLM lead, wanting the quality and freshness of our real time lead, and yet not wanting a lead that is weeks or months old, then try our Super Fresh Survey Leads.

These leads are 24-48 hours old, but are only half the cost of a real time lead.  You get the freshest lead possible that isn’t a real time.  This lead has become one of our most popular leads over the last 2 years for this very reason.

Here’s some good news:  Through Friday December 18th, we will add 50% more leads to your order.  For example

• Order 35 leads, and you’ll get 53 leads
• Order 75 leads, and you’ll get 113 leads
• Order 125 leads, and you’ll get 188 leads
• Order 250 leads, and you’ll get 375 leads

That is from a $35 to a $188 value in free leads. 

There isn’t a better time to try these leads than right now.  In fact, imagine if you sent out an email to your downline (and your upline) letting them know about this special.  If just 10 people in your downline ordered 75 leads, they would each get 113 leads.  That would be 1,130 prospects being contacted within your organization.  How would your commission check change if 1,130 prospects were being contacted about your business?  Sure, most won’t join your business, but even if only 1% did join, that is 11 or 12 new downline members.  The numbers get even bigger with more people in your downline turned on to these leads and placing larger orders.

This is a great lead that many, many network marketers have made a staple in their marketing efforts.  Now is the best time to try our Super Fresh Survey Leads.
