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.

A Tribute To Jim Rohn

One of the greatest motivational speakers of the last 4 decades passed away on December 5th – Jim Rohn.

He is just one of those guys who you think is going to be around forever.  You can listen to his CD’s over and over and over again. You cannot help but feel empowered, built up, filled with faith, encouraged, and inspired within just a few moments of spending time with Jim Rohn.

Success magazine has put together a great tribute to Jim Rohn.  Go visit the link below, read through the Tribute, and watch the brief video.  It will be more than worth your time.

What Happened To The Phone Verified Leads?

For several years now we have offered either phone verified leads or phone interviewed leads.  But, as of December 1st, we stopped offering them.  Let me explain why… but first let me explain the difference.

Phone Verified Leads – These are leads that are verified through some sort of automated, auto-dialer program.  They do not speak to a live person.  The person is called up and they verifiy their information and interest in a home business by punching some numbers on their phone keypad.

Phone Interviewed Leads – These are leads that are interviewed by a live person.  They are qualified and sorted by a telemarketing call center employee.

One of the things I have been teaching for years is that 95% or more of the stuff that is being advertised as “interviewed” is actually “verified.” Don’t buy some salesman’s pitch.  They are lying to you if they cannot provide the name of the person who did the interview.

In theory, both of these leads are not a bad idea, especially the live interviewed leads.  BUT, the reality of the quality of these leads is FAAARRRR from the theory.  Let me give you 3 main reasons why, and then I will explain why we no longer sell this type of lead.

1. The leads are old… and can be very old.  Whether it is a verified or interviewed lead, the age of the lead can be very old.  Let’s say on December 1st John Doe filled out a form online asking for information about a home business.  That lead may be called on contacted a few times, and then sold later to a call center.  The call center may get the lead when it is 2 weeks to 2 months old.  They will attempt to contact them.  By the time they are contacted and ultimately verified or interviewed, several weeks and months may have gone by from the original point of contact. So, yes, they have be “re-qualified”, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since they time they initally requested information.
2. The quality of the leads usually suck.  Call centers are not going to be buying $3 and $4 leads to interview.  Face the facts.  I have call centers contact me every week wanting cheap leads.  We don’t work with call centers because they are wanting cheap leads to keep their call center staff busy.  Most of the leads they are calling are either very old or a type of coregistration lead.
3. Telemarketing rooms are a joke.  Have you ever worked in a call center?  I have.  These are not MBA students, lawyers, and school teachers.  Employees of call centers are not bad folks, but many will lie and cheat to earn their bonus.  These employees are not salaried employees.  Most make minimum wage to make 100-200 dials a day.  To make above minimum wage, they can earn bonuses based upon how many “qualified” leads they can push through. Let me put it to you this way – if these employees could double their income or more by pushing through a few extra “qualified” leads, don’t you think they would?  The answer is “YES,” and it happens every day.

It should be getting obvious as to why we have dropped these leads. The quality is very inconsistent and overall, you are dealing with older, lower quality, and unqualified leads.

Here’s the bottomline.  If you really want the best MLM Lead for your business, then stick with what has been proven.  Our real time leads come through quality landing pages that are not incentivized or harvested.  The lead is a live lead, so you know it is not old or has been pushed through the system by someone trying to make an extra buck.

For six years, our customer have been using these real time leads, real time local leads, and real time redirected leads to build their home businesses. Stay with what is proven.

National Leads’ New Site Design

Hey, have you checked out our new site!!  I have been busting my butt to get this new design out.  It was designed for us in November 2008.  After some delays, modifying the design a little bit, waiting on some new lead offerings, etc.  We finally rolled this baby out!

If I do say so myself, I believe it’s the best looking leads site on the Internet.  Our old design was needing a definite face lift.  It was looking more and more like it was a Junior High project built in a basement.  It served it’s purpose, but it was time to step up and get a modern looking design.

BUT!!!  It’s not just a new design.

For over 4 years we have been working with Peak Impact for many of our phone leads.  We have had phone leads of all sorts, but over the last 4 years, only one lead has consistently delivered, and consistently improved. So, we are proud to anounce that 100% of our phone leads are sourced by Peak Impact.

So, why do I tell you this?  Why not keep it hidden?  Why reveal my sources? Because I believe in the integrity of the folks at Peak Impact and I want people to know up front what they are getting.  Besides, don’t fool yourself. Nearly every MLM Leads company out there gets leads from other companies. Some of the top companies that say they generate their own leads, do in fact outsource their leads to other companies.  So, don’t be fooled.

But, let me say this – I have had a relationship with Peak Impact since October 2005.  During that time I have been contacted by dozens of other companies – even the big boys like Cutting Edge Media or Responsive Data – but there isn’t a greater group of people to work with than Peak Impact. They are 100% committed to your success.

So, why should you buy through National Leads? Good question.  We have been around for 6 years now.  We have had thousands of customers and we have partnered with many people in the growth and success of their business. We are not involved in any MLM company, which is actually good news for you. That means it is safe to refer your downline because we are not going to try and recruit them away from you.  We are only committed to our leads business!

Plus, let me give you another secret – our prices are less than or equal to Peak Impact’s prices, so you can get the same great leads for less (Shhh… that’s just between me and you).

So, look around, and be sure to check out the new Instant Voice Leads.  Those are HOT!
