Global Domains International

The following are *follow-up* subject/content I have found effective. Please consider using to build YOUR .WS business (share with YOUR downline):


1)YES, no or maybe?

The question we so often have about doing something has less to do with the real decision and more the uncertainty it could bring. Makes sense since we all have so many choices in how we direct our time and energy. The key is to determine how .WS=WebSite will fit into dreams, goals and desires you have either set, or are establishing. Rather than imposing a lot of information at this time, in this email, I would rather you take that time and think over the .WS opportunity and if you need to refresh your memory go to http://www.__________.ws for details. I also welcome and, in fact, encourage you to contact me soon with your thoughts, ideas and any questions. “Take time to delib! erate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go for it.”—Napoleon Bonaparte


With Positive Expectancy,



2)Now or later?

How many times a day do we all face that decision? It seems we are on the constant treadmill of life. With all the clutter of daily life it is unfortunate sometimes we miss out on some of the good things. I am sure you can come up with a few without even batting an eyelash. It is the purpose of this contact to request you take a few moments to put all else aside NOW, & while you are reading this, give thought to how .WS=WebSite can be a part of your life. Don’t hesitate to go to http://www.__________.ws to stimulate your thoughts. Please let me know what you think and allow me to show you how we can work together for our mutual success and make great things happen fast.

  I have a couple of email messages that I send to a new movie watcher.  The first goes out right away and the second is a follow-up 2 days later.  In the second message, I subtly indicate that this is the last email from me (so they don't think I'm going to keep spamming them).

  However, the most effective email they receive after watching the movie isn't the initial message they get from me, but instead, the follow-up email they get from my immediate upline member letting them know that I am not the only person in this business offering to help them...there are others!

  Here is the template I send my upline once I fill in the viewers first name and email address:

Subject:
Tag-Team Request - New Movie Watcher(s)

Body:
<upline>, I sent my welcome email.  Could you send your welcome email too.

Thanks!

Name: <firstname>
Email: <email>


Doug Mann


TEAMWORK MAKES OUR DREAM WORK!

--------------------------------------------

He then fills in this template and sends:

Hi <prospect>,
   My name is <name> and I too want to thank you for evaluating our .WS Websites Global Domain International business!  You most likely, have already heard from your immediate sponsor, Doug Mann.  Well, I am Doug's sponsor and I TOO have an interest in helping you to achieve great success with a GDI business.

  My main purpose though, in sending you an email, is so you'll know that there are more people in this incredible business than just Doug -- there is a huge growing team.  This is a REAL Internet-based business that REAL people like you and I and Doug and thousands of others are having REAL success with.

  Anyway, I know I speak for Doug too when I say that I really look forward to having the opportunity to help you achieve your dreams in life with this business.

Feel free to use if you like and modify to your tastes.  :)

Does anyone have suggestions for emails to send out for leads purchased from GDI.
that doesn't watch the movie? I just need a good "subject" title to "catch their eye'
and not think it is "spam" mail, etc., then any suggestions for the body of the email?
You have their telephone number and are unable  to make telephone contact with
them. 
I'm a "newbie", and don't want to waste these leads without attempting to make
some sort of contact with them.

Thank you for any suggestions and assistance! !

Thanks chris

How would you like to have one dollar for every Dot com. Domain name that exists everywhere on planet Earth? Have you ever fantasized about having one dollar for every automobile that travels the highways in the entire world? Do you remember when 1-800 phone numbers were first introduced? Now there are no more 800 numbers available. You have 888's 877's etc. I wish I could somehow wave a magic wand and have you understand the HUGE income available to you via Global Domains International (GDI). I hope you are a visionary. Your total cost to participate is only $10 per month.

Very good follow up letter, Nicole!! I really like it. It should open up some people's mind to actually think about the opportunity we have going here.

All my best,
Norma  :o

Clara,

Some subject lines for consideration as followups to people who have watched your movie;

a)  Name, What did you think?
b)  How did it feel to be the "Star" of the movie?
c)  You have seen, heard so what's next...

Hope you find these as useful as I have.

I would like to thank every one for all the templates, I am going to try them and see what has the best responce
Thanks again

Hi,
I purchased 500 leads and I understand that after someone views the presentation, it is up to me to follow up with them.  What happens to the others who do not view?  Are they sent follow up invitations or should I follow up with my own email?  I have read that there are a series of letters sent but I cannot find an example of these.  I do not want to email these folks if they are already being followed up with an autoresponder....Can someone clarify?
Thanks
Helene Reedy

Helen

I have a suggestion.  Why don't you send yourself a test email.  Enter yourself into the invite system and file the notices received from GDI.

Sherri

Hi Clara & Helene,

You got me thinking  ::). I purchased leads from GDI too and I left it to them to process but the result was not good, I did not get any sign up at all from that batch. At least we should have received some kind of feedback from the Leads office at the end of their promotion, if I am not mistaken their promotion last for the duration of within three weeks. I would suggest the Leads back office whom is concerned should inform us of what they have done with the leads we purchased and also tell us the messages in the invitations/reminders sent to the leads  ???. Then, if we receive no result from their invitations, we could at least try to contact the prospects ourselves. The leads we purchased from GDI are costly; at 0.98 cents each for a minimum order of 50 units and it would be a waste to ignore them without further follow up  :o.

MattS

Matt,

You can go to your leads section in your member's area and download the leads you purchased. Follow-up by phone or post.

Nicole

GDI sends out some great follow-up emails to every lead we send through our invite system. Ever so often I put my name and email address into my invite system to see what follow-up emails my prospects receive. I am highly impressed with all of them. 

I suggest all of you that have not done so, check it out for yourself. You will be pleasingly surprised.  Then, after their emails have completed you can send your own email campaigns to continue to follow up as long as the prospect hasn't opted out.

All my best,
Norma  :o

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for your advice but I already have the leads name list printed in hard copy right on the day I received confirmation of my purchase.

My question is that how could I find out what promotional materials that GDI sent to these leads. It would not be wise for me to duplicate sending the same stuff to these people. As you said “cold calls” by phone and standard mail would be an option. Then, I would say this method defeated the purpose of Network Marketing  ::).

However, I will go by your advice because I see[/i][/b]
My best regards.
MattS

I've seen email and phone calls as follow-ups, but what about snail mail ... especially when you don't have a phone number but you have an address.  I know there are chances that the emails sent to my leads won't be seen b/c of the spam filters and such, so I was thinking since I have mailing addresses maybe I should use them.  Maybe not for all the leads, but at least for some, like the locals I've come across for starters.  What do yall think?  If the mailing address is provided in the lead I can use it right? 

Rhonda D

This idea can work it will take time.

I use direct mail as followup also if have persons name and address and their hard to reach or request information via mail.

The key is to keep it simple I use flyer and cover letter where person has any questions has my phone number or address to contact me this creates urgency.

take care

Hi Rhonda,

I don't see why you couldn't use it, but why?  Keep it simple.  Prospects determines what they must do when they see what you're doing.  If they see you're sending a snail mail follow-up, then they figure they have to also and most likely will shy away from joining.  Furthermore, it is crucial that you follow up ASAP while the lead is hot.  Snail mail may take 3-5 days to arrive.  Email follow-ups are still the best way to go.  They are effective because they work.  Best wishes.

Kevin Ellens

My opinion is:  In addition to email, yes.  Instead of email, no.

It's by no means necessary, and it's not something I'd tell a new downline member they had to do. 

I send thank you notes to folks who have viewed the presentation, for example.  This takes approximately 30 seconds each.  Not any longer than typing out an email.

And mailing letters isn't time consuming, either, if you use a template for your letter and just plug in the name, business (if applicable), and address.  If you have a ton of them, just do a mail merge.  Merge the excel list of gdi leads with your template letter in word, and viola.  30 seconds.  (Mail merge works for mailing labels, too.)

Good post, Rhonda.  :)

Why would I?  Well not all emails get past the spam filters ... if there are a large number of emails not opened, maybe they might actually open an envelope.  I don't know.  Right now I'm very aggravated - I have 10000 leads in limbo basically awaiting delivery since the 2nd . Supposedly they are adding more servers, but I've heard that's been stated before.  I have only been a member for like a week and already seen downtime more than once  :-\.  I sent out 100 leads through the invite system.  No one has even opened them yet and it's been a couple days.  Seems odd that NONE of them have opened it by now.  I think I would like to try to at least snail mail the locals to give it a more personal touch since my hubby and I would like to build locally.  As far as everyone else ... I don't know.  So basically I guess it wouldn't exactly be a follow-up if they never read the email to begin with.  It would be more like initial contact.  Just trying to think of different ways to make contact to leads when email doesn't seem to work as well.  Or maybe it just seems like that to me considering I'm having some difficulties.

Oh and Amy, I'll have to try and figure out how to do that w/ Excel.  I've actually never really played around w/ that prog much.  I can see how it would come in handy.  And I like the idea of thank you notes.  It just seems more personal to send something like that and not just an email.

Rhonda D

Or initial contact?

Have you thought about cost?  Until your mailer is back up, why don't you spend the same amount of time sending each lead an email through your ISP?  Really local contacts can be hand delivered.  There is nothing inexpensive about Snail Mail.

Sherri

If you'd like to TRY mailing info. I'd use postcards as the postage is cheeper.
Deborah H ;)

I understand your question matt, I have the same one. I purchased leads and have thier contact info etc.. I also believe we need to know if GDI has a system where they send these leads we bought follow up e-mails automatically, or do we take over right away? Only 3 of my first 50 leads have even read the e-mail, 1 person has viewed the movie. Very confused.

Good idea! Has anyone on here tried sending out post cards? I would love to see some designs for post cards on the forum. Does anyone out there have any you could share with us?

All my best,
Norma  :o

I am not sure how I would format my email for them. They are confirmed MLMers. This type of marketing for me would seem to need a totally different approach. I have never tried to market to comfirmed MLMers before.
Any suggestions?? 8)
Deborah H

Deborah, I wrote this a few weeks ago.  Much of what is in here came from suggestions of others on the forums here about emailing prospects and following up on movie viewers, etc. :


Hello <firstname>,

I'm <yourname>, and I'm writing in response to your request for information about new network marketing opportunities by providing the following information:

<firstname> <lastname> <emailaddress> <ipaddress> <daterequested>

First, let me say, THIS COMPANY IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER network marketing (or multi-level marketing) business I have ever seen, heard of, or been affiliated with, AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE NETWORK MARKETING FIELD FOR YEARS!

WHAT'S DIFFERENT about this company?  Several things!

I am not going to close this message by asking you for money!
I am not going to ask you to sell anything, and I'm not going to try to sell YOU anything!

In fact, the majority of partners in this business NEVER PICK UP A TELEPHONE and NEVER ACTUALLY SPEAK WITH OR MEET WITH ANYONE to try to get anyone involved with this business.

GDI has quickly set itself apart from the crowd in that it is a WORLDWIDE opportunity, which as you most likely know, in the world of network marketing, is HUGE.  GDI has members in nearly 200 countries already, and the company is continuing to massively expand to more and more people every day.  In fact, Global Domains International is already at the top of the list of 50 fastest growing privately held corporations in the United States, and is regularly featured in the business sections of major newspapers nationwide... and RAVED about in publications like Entrepreneur magazine.

You may be thinking, "It sounds too good to be true.  How can this be possible?"

This is an opportunity that SELLS ITSELF.  How?  With THIS SEVEN MINUTE PRESENTATION:  www.money.ws/USERID  Watch it for yourself!!  Once you decide to sign up with GDI, you'll get your OWN personalized movie, that you can refer to ANYONE in the WORLD!

Impressive!  Isn't it??  Tell me, which part of the opportunity sounds best to you?

What I love most about this business is that it is REAL!  Real people are already doing it!  (I know, because I've received all my "training" FROM THE BEST!)  REAL people, like you and I, can earn a great deal of money and have a stable income that only INCREASES over time!

Please contact me at any time with whatever questions you may have!  I am personally committed to your success, and I'm going to walk you through all you need to know to get started step-by-step!

Do enjoy the 7 Day FREE Trial, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Cheers to OUR JOINT SUCCESSES,
<yourname>

Yes it is. I do the same thing so dont feel like a thief. If someone posts it unless they say dont use it and I like it I copy it and revamp it for future use. Thats a good one you made up. A keeper!
Thank You!
Deborah H
ps been sending emails so havnt checked the forum since before dawn! :D

Thanks chickies.  ;D

I do recommend to my downline when sending emails that for legal purposes, they ALWAYS use the legal disclaimer, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN GETTNIG LEADS THAT YOU HAVEN'T PERSONALLY GENERATED, always start with the below quoted lines, because this will not only save you a ton of hassle with people who want to claim you are spamming them -- I've had folks I've talked to on the phone, who have INITIATED contact with me in the first place, later claim a follow-up email is spam. -- but with GDI's policies strictly against spam (and believe me, it's enforced!), it will also serve as documentational proof should someone report you.  (I have one folder in my email of all documented proof from "opt in" emails, and another of all messages I've sent initiating contact.  You learn quickly in the legal field to always cover yourself...a benefit to working with scary lawyers.  ;D)

Amy, I have copied your legal disclaimer and saved a copy of it for future use (hope you dont mind...  :) ) - I was already wondering if I should be writing some sort of disclaimer at the end of my emails but I didn't know what to write exactly.  

It seems that it would take up a lot of time and use up a lot of space to save a copy of all the proof from the 'opt in' leads.  It sounds like a good idea but seems it would take up too much space and be time consuming. Is it really necessary??

I get 2,000 leads a day but always delete them after uploading them to bulkmailer just because I don't want to take up too much space and I really dont want to have to be buying disks all the time. I hate throwing them away but don't know what else to do in order to save time and space on my computer.  

No problem, about using the disclaimer.  Like I said, I encourage everyone to use one these days!

As far as saving the emails, it's probably just a matter of personal preference.  I was raised in "cover thyself" camp, so to speak, which is why I do it.  I have three domains with GDI, and therefore have 30 email addresses at my disposal.  As one person without 30 different personalities, and without enough ideas to use up 30 mailboxes, I have one dedicated to leads only.  Once I've emailed those leads, they go into a folder.  It's just a matter of hitting "select all" and "move to confirmation folder" for me, so it takes equal time to selecting them all to delete.  I'll probably never need them, but murphy's law runs rampantly through my bloodstream, so if I ever deleted one, then that would be the person to cause me to get reported.  :-\

Oh yes Amy,
You said it! Cover thy behinnie at all times. I keep all my CVS files of leads and emails and use a disclaimer at the bottom too with an opt out notice.
All this ( I admit I am a procrastinator on it) but all this gets put on CD's for safe keeping. I even print the CVS files out as I don't use an auto responder. There are online back up places you can also store things like this.
My computer is huge so I'm not worried about loading it up yet. But will eventually need to delete some of this stuff I know.
But I've lived long enough to learn you really need a webcam on your forhead at all times or you are toast!
Working with Domestic Violence Cases is what I do and it's a touchy legal area itself. Like everything else is I've found. People are just cranky all over these days and ready to lash out at anyone they pass. So be carefull and keep records of all your online business prospects. A spam charge can ruin you very fast. :o
Deborah H

Was the quoted text what you were referring to as a legal disclaimer, or can you provide specific example of one?

Wow, I feel very dumb right now. I don't know why this idea hasn't came into my head before now!!!!!!!
Thanks Amy!!!!  ;D

Cristin,
This is the disclaimer:
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This message is sent in full compliance of U.S. Federal e-mail bill S.1618 Title III, Section 301, Paragraph (a)(2)(C), and as such, this message, by law, cannot be considered SPAM. Should you wish not to receive future mailings from this account, please respond to this email and include the phrase "Remove Me" in the subject line. Thank you.

The part I quoted is how I begin my messages in order to document for the person receiving the email that they did in fact request this information from me, and that I am sending them the information pursuant to their request.  The U.S. Federal e-mail bill referenced in the disclaimer outlines that a message is not considered spam so long as the person requested it, and/or you are giving them an option not to receive emails from you in the future.

I recommend putting the disclaimer at the bottom of all emails.  And when responding to leads, I also recommend putting the part I quoted in there someplace, too.

Hope that helps.  :)

Thank you.

Now if only Incredimail/OE/Outlook had an unsuscribe list that you could use to prevent yourself from accidentally mailing folks who don't want to hear from you.

FYI to all reading & participating in this thread:

After receiving a flaming email from someone masking himself as a concerned citizen, I've done some research, and the email bill I quote in my disclaimer is not actually accurate. 

The latest can-spam information can be read at the FTC website here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm  The new can-spam act that took affect 2004 has the basic same provisions.

The email bill I quoted in the above disclaimer posted previously never was passed.  (Good lesson for me to do my own research and not rely on one misleading article passed along to me, even if it was by a lawyer.)  If you're curious, go here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d105:SN01618:@@@L&summ2=m&

I'd also like to mention that, contrary to my flame mailer's belief, my post here was not intended to condone actual spamming, and the disclaimer wasn't offered to give anyone "immunity" legally from spamming.  You can add any words to the bottom of an email, but still be breaking the law, just as you can misquote the law and still be in compliance of the law.  I'd never tell anyone to risk something that could lose them their business, and I hope you all know that.  :)

Have any of you ever purchsed a mailing list for USPS distribution? Where do you look for deals? How do you know who's legit? What GDI rules apply? What other suggestions do you have on this topic?

Thanks for that update Amy!

It's really appreciated! & hey.....we all make mistakes every now and then...so don't beat yourself up about your disclaimer!  :)
I'm sure we can all understand!

Take care,
Kyra

Okay then!

I snagged these too!  Thanks bunches Chip!

Gosh I love this forum.....I can I not be successful?    

You are welcome, Laura!

The Forum is loaded with incredible ideas from hundreds of Members.

All, just a matter of implementing what works best to reach individual/TEAM goals.

Chip

Thanks Chip!
You have posted some interesting email scripts here.
Different than any I have seen so far too.
 :)
Deborah H

For sure I understand. Mistakes happen. I'd like to know why this person felt the need to flame you for it though. That's just wrong. Sorry that happened to you. You have made many very good posts on the forum. I hope you continue to post as I always look forward to your ideas.
So try to forget about it.  :)
Deborah H

Thanks Chip,

Just what I needed at this point.

Hello Ammy,

I am new to GDI and i have collected few leads from various sources. Please let me know in simple terms what disclaimer do i include in my emails invitation which will help me counter spam policy.

cheers
Pavan
 

Direct mail works people I personnelly send all who have looked at GDI a letter as followup.

This shows me if they open it and go to the site to see what we have to offer maybe this can be more convincing.

To date already have 5 good members thru this method of offline marketing.

Hi Chip

Just want to thank you for the emails.  I am looking at using them on my Inactive accounts and hopefully turn them around!

Regards

Chris

Great stuff Chip. 

Question -
What kind of follow up do you recommend for prospects who have read my email but not watched the movie?

Thanks for your help!

James

Quick phone call to address any Qs and encourage them
to watch the movie and take the Free Trial.

If no phone number, follow-up with a 'personal touch' email.

Chip

Thanks for sharing your series.  It's beautifully done.

I understand that once a lead has watched the movie, they're automatically removed from the Auto Responder.

Do you recommend another Bulk Mailer account to follow up with Them (or some other)?

Thanks.

Kathy

Also this may sound like a silly question but for those prospects who have watched the movie do you recommend sending *all* of those follow up emails? If so what time frame do you think works best?

I am sending the Yes,no,maybe emails as soon as I see they have watched the movie.
How long is enough time to allow them to respond before I should send them a second follow up email and then a third etc?

Thanks again for all your help!

James

These email leads that you buy through the back office, what is the percentage in return from them. I’ve used direct mail in another business that I have, and only get about two percent in return. Would this be about the same?

Troy,

I have been very disappointed with the leads I bought.  I bought the $49 deal for 50 leads.  They were almost all Yahoo addresses, which makes me wonder how many of the e-mails wound up in their Bulk folder never to be seen.  And almost 2 weeks after purchasing, I've had ONE read the email, and not a single one clicked on anything or watched the movie.

I know that was a small test, but for $49 bucks, I sure expected better.

Bob

Yeah Troy,

I've purchased some of the leads as well from the back office but, ironically enough, I GET the sign-ups when I go the direct mail route with them.  Their put into the email system by GDI but I get very little "open" rates.  Being that we also get the snail-mail address though, I'll just drop a personalized (MS Word Mail Merge) letter to the list and that turns over about 2-4% when I do that.

Hope that helps.

Chip,

Those were incredible follow up letters. Thanks so much! I've been with GDI for a month now...and the one thing I always make time for 'Daily' is the forum. There is a tremendous amount of info and ideas, and I have been struggling with a real solid follow up letter to send. These are Perfect!

Jamie M

I also purchases leads from my back office (50 leads for $49).  Only one person opened it and no sign ups :-\ 

Does anyone know how these leads were generated.  This info will help so I can customize a letter directly to these people.

So for example, if they are prospective network marketers I could write a letter along those lines or if they were requesting info on a home base buisness, etc...

Thanks,
Genevieve

hi,
I am newbie here. I would like to ask how long should we follow up our leads, and how many message? when we have to decide
this lead won't join gdi. thanks.

regards,

khoiru rizal

Hi, I've recently joined GDI. It's great that everyone is willing to share their ideas and tools. "TEAMWORK". Heres where I could use some advice,thoughts and help...I've had prospects referred to me because they visited the www.my.ws web site. Theres been about 10 of them. Non have included their phone numbers, so the only means of contact is e-mail.  :-\ I'm not always sure what to say. Every other follow-up has been slightly different as I modify the responses. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Thank-you

I have a suggestion.  Email the prospect and ask them to either call you or let you call them.

Sam

Hi Anthony,

Here is the follow-up I use....I haven't had time to gauge it's effectiveness however.

I would like to receive comments from the more experienced GDI Reps out there....please let me know what you think of the email.  Suggestions for improvement are more than welcome.

I just click on the "[compose a new email to <name>]" link in the email I receive from GDI.  This plugs a "Hi <name>" in the Subject line.

========================================================

Just a personal note to say thanks for viewing my Global Domains International (GDI) presentation (movie) and to offer my assistance with any questions you may have.

I hope you enjoyed it and can see the potential of this business.  We currently have a 98 percent retention rate which is astounding in Network Marketing.  Why?  Because we have a product that people want and more importantly "want to keep".

I encourage you to sign up for a FREE 7 day trial.  During this period you can explore all that GDI has to offer.  Or perhaps you are just looking for a low cost way to get a website...that's ok too!

Did you know that many web hosts charge up to $30.00 per month just to host your website.  And then they'll charge you an extra fee to get a domain name for you.  Then you're all on your own as to how you construct your website.

With GDI, you get a domain name, 100 MB of storage for your website and an easy to use website editor with which to build your site.

All this for just $10.00 per month.

And, you have the opportunity of referring others and earning commissions on them plus the people they refer (down thru 5 levels) as well.  [Be sure to check out the income calculator while you're at the website, this way you can truly see the potential earning power of the GDI opportunity.]

Quite a package.  And the beautiful thing about this business is that just about everyone wants a website these days.  And most of them also will want a way to get it for free.  The more people you refer the more they will refer and before you know it you'll be getting your site at no cost to you.

Maybe all you want is a website and don't want to work the business.....well, that's ok too.  I'm sure that once you've learned about what we have to offer that you'd want to refer some friends, family or associates who also want a site....and at the same time you help pay for your own site as well.  Wouldn't hurt to have your site paid for now would it?

If you have any questions you may email or call me (see below) and I'll be happy to assist you.

Here's an example of a website I set up on my domain.

   http://www.mywebsite.ws


Sincerely,

Tom

Thomas,

Very good response to fellow GDI members question on following up with leads who don't have phone number.

The email was written and was good example of what to use as initial followup to qualify a person for your time!

take care

Thank Howard...Appreciated...

Tom

This site has some sample email messages and other helpful materials on it that might be of help....

Tom,

I'm new to the GDI opportunity and was wondering how to best respond to inquiries as well.  I like what you have written here and with your permission I'd like to use a slightly modified version of your response.  Good work...I appreciate your help. 

Vince

 :) Thank you Tom and everyone else. I will look further into the recommended website. I do now know that GDI automaticaly sends a follow-up with your info. My up line and I experimented. I did have one prospect who left a number. I did a cross reference to be sure it wasn't made up. It was legit. I called, talked for about 10 minutes. He said he would consider signing up. Bottom line is Talking is better than e-mail...for me anyways.  Thanks again everyone

Hi Thanks for all the advice with the no phone  no.# ideas. I am new here too.maybe two weeks now and I am learning alot as I go . I am hanging in there. Thanks! Linda Rich  :)

Hello Tom,

I was just revamping my follow up and I have to say this letter of your is a wonderful contribution.

Many Thanks :)

OK so I bought 50 leads from GDI and they came in today.  No one has viewed yet.  What is my next step?

Thanks,

Justin

Hello everyone, I was wondering what email scripts and subject line were most successful for recruiting. I use

Subject: Hello there, I would like to share a business opportunity with you


This is not your ordinary email; you owe it to your self to discover the enormous opportunity knocking at your door.

Could you imagine if you were able to talk to me face to face over the internet in place of the phone? Don't imagine, it is going to be a reality.

Your domain name

 

www.!*FIRST_NAME*!!*LAST_NAME*!.ws

 

Is going to be the most important name you have.

Global Domains International is at the forefront of this, taking .ws (website ) to the public domain. GDI is one of the fastest growing companies in the world because of this. They are a top 50 company in INC magazines top 500 fastest growing companies. It won't be long before GDI and .ws are household names and you and I can profit from their popularity just by passing the word with a short movie presentation you can view by clicking on the link below.

                                                                                                                                                                                     
It really is that simple.

It is worth your time to examine this further.

Please go to the link below:

 http://www.yourwebsite.ws

When there fill out the movie pass.

 
This is a unique (and really short) animated movie that you can share with others by email like I am doing with you. As you'll see, it could make

You literally thousands of dollars over time. More importantly, though, you can help a lot of people have a better life. Make sure you turn up your speakers, the

Actors are going to actually say your name.


If you wish to see the GDI full length DVD video online please visit our Freedom.ws website, the download is 179mb so you might want to have a broadband connection. Our Freedom.ws website is also multi-lingual.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks:
John Christian Lien

can anyone help me?  I have had a few hits on my w.s site but they don't seem to be watching the flash movie. do you think that i should do a followup email? if so, how long should i wait before i send it? and what should i put it the email.?

thank you. :-\
blessing Lisa

Ive gone with the honest approach. My mail box is full of wanna be rich, great opportunity etc.
and im sick of it. Each prospect probably gets the same emails time and time again and there not tempted.
I am currently working on advertising the bonus opportunity because 5 referals for $100 dollars seems great when actually its  hard, easy if your an acclompished marketer which I think most will be over time
marc

hi,

Funny you should ask about follow-ups. Fact is, GDI already have, if not they should already, have follow-up
letters. Who would have better letters than GDI anyway? When someone signup from your GDI-site
it automatically send out the first letter and than follow up right?  Did you get them when you signed
up? One of the toughest things to do, as we all know, is to get someone to visit someones website.
Any program site for that matter. To do this they need to click your link (GDI). This is not easy. So
one of the best ways I found that saves time is to use an email autoresponder.  It's just an excellent free ad-exchange autoresponder program. Anyway. all you have to do is save every letter (html and/or text) GDI sends you. You mark the first-letter 0, 2nd, 3rd,
4th, etc... in order. Go to sendfree and create your autoresponder. From there you add them in order by
sequence.  Sending them every 2 or 3 or 4 days apart. Like 0 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 10 apart. Doing this will also
build your list (YEAH!:) at the same time your letters about GDI goes out to those leads of yours.
goodluck,
Levi   8)

Hi,

 I just read the first page of the thread cause there are 6 pages  ;D
Anyway I just send 1 message to new members, 1 to new prospects and the rest does it all GDI.

GDI follows with the leads for months, so I think if I don't email them myself as well it is better! What I found out is that those that join do join because they have some relationship with me (friends, forum members) not because I wrote some good email message...

Once the members join, I email my whole downline once in a while ... but I don't piss off leads with many follow up message.

Karl

Hello,
     From what I understand the GDI invite system is an autoresponder in itself. But what do we do with the leads that we purchase. I'm talking about 5,000 or more; obviously you can't put all of those in the inviter system. Is there another way to track who view the movie for those extra leads? Is there another autoresponder where I can plug them into? Thanks, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS - Mich

A couple questions:

After potential prospects have viewed the presentation, what should you include in your email to raise your chance of success?

Also, would you recommend sending followup e-mails, and if so, how soon after sending the initial e-mail?


Thanks in advance!

Hi
I signed up yesterday.
Sent 25 email invites via the amazing and so simple to use admin area.
Today I printed 40 flyers and handed them out at carparks around town. It went really well.
This afternoon I created a Google Adword and have had 6 new prospects view the the video!!

So it's been good fun so far.

My question is to do with follow up. I am confused about the email system. I will explain....

After signing up I sent myself email invites to 2 different email accounts I use.

This enabled me to see the actual auto emails that the GDI systems sends.

I as the affiliate also get an email to tell me when someone has read my email and another when they have watched the video. That's good, but the email I get urges me to send them an email and there is even a link for me to click that opens a new email for me to use.
But behind the scenes.... the GDI systems actually sends the follow up email for me!

After I opened the invite email I sent myself, I got an email prompting me to watch the video. And after I watched the video I got a further email thanking me for watching the video and prompting me to sign up for the 7 day FREE trial.

So do I need to be sending any emails if the GDI sends emails for me?????

If the GDI systems sends these auto follow up emails, why am I prompted by an email from the CEO to send an email. Might I just unwittingly bombard my prospect???

Please can someone explain.

Thanks
Rich
