My belief - You need a script. Even if you don't think you do, 95% or more of people need some sort of script to follow or guidence in writing a series of messages for their autoresponder campaign.
Quick story - my first full-time career in sales was recruiting nurses to go back to school and upgrade their degree. My manager told me that sooner or later I was going to get confident and cocky, and not use the script he had given me when I would call to set appointments.
About 4 months into my sales career, I was having quite a bit of success. On the phone I began to wing-it, and do it my way. For the next 3 months my sales went down, down, down. My manager got me back on the script, and my sales went skyrocketing back up.
The bottomline...
you need a script. Don't let your pride keep you from success. A script keeps you focused, on track, and keeps you from wasting time. AND, it is essential for your new team members.
Over the last 4 years we have found the following two resources to be invaluable for building your home business.
The Dani Johnson Script Book — This is the #1 resource if you are going to pick up the phone and call prospects. Whether you are cold calling or responding to someone who has just given you a call after visting your website, this script book is vital. There isn't a better tool (her script book) that you can use for success in your MLM business when using the phone.
For calling prospects, you need Dani Johnson's material. Not convinced? Go to her site. Watch the videos and read the testimonies.
If you want more great stuff from Dani, I've just posted a GREAT artcile from her on our site:
The Real Truth About MLM Success
Instant MLM Sales Letters — The creator of this tool is
Chris Zavadoski. He was voted the
Network Trainer of the Year in 2007! If you email prospects, use and autoresponder, or bulk email program, then getting this tool is a must.

If you are using email campaigns that were pre-written for you by the autoresponder you're using, you definitely need Chris's MLM Sales Letters. If you don't you will just blend in with the crowd rather than stand out to get results.
These are powerful emails for autoresponder campaigns, followups to your prospects, training for your team members, and so much more. If you use the Internet in any way to build your business,
I cannot imagine building without the Instant MLM Sales Letters.
I believe you need both tools, Dani Johnson's and Chris Zavadowski's script tools. You do not get the honors and awards these two people have gotten without thousands of networkers getting monumental results. Visit their sites and read through the hundreds and hundreds of testimonies.
