Are Autodailers A Good Idea For Network Marketing?
“I would like to cancel my mlm lead subscription,” said the voice on the other end of the phone.
“Is there a problem?” our customer service staffer asked.
“I’m not getting any response calling and I don’t really want to talk to people anyway,” came the reply. “I found a place that where I can get 10,000 leads and load them into an autodailer. It will do all the work. I’m sure I’ll get better results with that.”
Reality however, paints a different picture…

Sometimes the best-intentioned advice can kill your business...
I recently talked with a distributor of one of the top 5 biggest network marketing companies about advice he was given regarding growing his business.
The company was telling distributors to make at least one prospecting call a day. If they did that they were told that 30% would join. Naturally, he was excited to get started and figured that all he needed were some leads.
The problem is that this advice is lacking in key details… and we all know the devil is in the details!
Are you a Network Marketing Crusader?
12 years ago a man was heralded as creating a revolution in network marketing. His ads were in major magazines, being mailed via direct mail and even heard on radio around the US.
Hundreds of thousands of people eager to be star network marketers joined the company he promoted and flocked to his “marketing” seminars. There were a lot of testimonials of people who were getting rich and living the life featured in a network marketing company promo videos.
If I stop the story there, as most promo’s do, you wouldn’t have the complete story. In fact, you would be missing the very part that could help you improve your odds of success.
Escape the "Easy" trap...
“If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.”
- Michelangelo (1475–1564) Italian painter and sculptor
Too many times I have heard people express their envy at the success or appearant talents of others. “It’s easy for them,” or “I’m not like so and so,” they say as an excuse to why they shouldn’t try as hard.
An even worse trap is to assume that anything you want to master or accomplish must be easy. I’ve seen many people end dejected, confused or even blissfully ignorant of the work-mastery paradigm. This causes them to frequently switch companies, training methods, products, all costing more and more money yet delivering little tangible progress in return.
One rule I have found nearly constant in almost 40 years on this planet is that things worth having don’t usually come easy. The skill or talent to build a business, build relationships or even just create a work of art don’t just fall from the sky. They must be nurtured, honed and exercised to get stronger and this takes a certain amount of personal discipline.
Personal discipline is one of those things we hate to talk about but in all reality it probably the most important skill we could master. It’s personal discipline that’s the driving force behind all personal growth and any mastery of skill. What others see as natural and easy is often the result of pushing ourselves when no one was looking.
Google earnings highlight success of PPC
Google announced higher than expected quarterly earnings today - even as growth in paid search slowed.
Google's earnings show that marketers and searchers are finding a mutual benefit in search. Though caution should be exercised on behalf of small budget marketers such as network marketing distributors as the learning curve for running a successful Adwords campaign can often be costly.
A successful PPC effort needs to balance the ad and keyword selection with the landing page and offer into a seamless line of thought. High CTR's are simply not enough. The marketer must understand what the searcher is looking for when they enter a keyword search and be able to clearly communicate a solution.
