Hi.

Let this email be a lesson to everyone - teach your downlines how to use the Back Office completely!

I recently got my first signup (yay!) and while playing with the downline report options in the Back Office I noticed an old orange that I didn't even know I had! 

No, I'm not talking about a shriveled up piece of fruit left in the fridge! 

I'm talking about someone who signed up on my site back in October but didn't leave payment information.  I didn't even know they were there!

Now that I have noticed I sent them an email but I sure wish I knew then what I know now!


Proper training will build downline retention!
(repeat this phrase as needed)

Learning as I go and determined to make it!

This is what woke me up in the middle of the night so I think I am going to run with it.
Rather than send letters I will send cards - probably blank cards or even at this time of year it is not too soon for holiday cards.  Everyone opens and reads those.

Here is the text I have in mind :

Hi.  I hope you are doing well.
I just wanted to touch base with you and
invite you to watch the seven minute movie that changed my life.
You can see for yourself why I am so excited about this new opportunity.
Just visit (my website) and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
James

Just wanted to share this with all of you.

Any idea that forces me out of bed is one I follow up on.

I'll let you all know how it goes!

Hello again everyone thanks as always for sharing your great ideas.

I just got my awesome new GDI cards today and will be mailing three cards to everyone in my Rolodex - friends, family members, and people I have done business with over the last few years.

So far I am thinking along the lines of a brief introduction followed by a hook that will allow the website movie to do the selling.

I think the flyer that Chris posted is closest to what I have in mind.

Has anyone else done this or have anything to ad to the topic?
The letters I have seen on the Forum so far are either follow up emails or snail mail to businesses.
There must be someone who already has developed a good snail mail letter for personal prospects??

Thanks in advance for your help!
James


.......Chris's flyer pasted below.........
What could 7 minutes mean to you?



How about more free time?

More time with your family?

Or

Extra money in your pocket?

7 minutes can give you more than you think!

Thank you to everyone who is sharing their marketing ideas.

I myself am starting to develop my marketing mindset.

From previous sales training I have learned the concept of The Three Foot Rule which states that you should share your opportunity with
everyone that comes within a three foot radius of you on a daily basis. How many people does that include?  Stop and think about it for a minute.....

I have ordered my GDI business cards but am still waiting for them to arrive. 
Business cards are good for us newbies because it gives you a nice prop to work with, help guide your focus and your prospect's focus, and gives you something to do with your hands!

But I realized today that I do not need to wait for cards to come in to promote GDI.

Today I gave my "card" to a repair man who came to my house.... I took a regular 3x5 index card and wrote on it with big marker
www.(mysite).ws 7 minute movie $ :-) 
just like that with the smiley face and the dollar sign.  I talked to him about it for a few minutes and I feel confident that he will check out my site when he gets the chance.  Anyone can spare seven minutes.

I followed this up by cutting more index cards into strips with my message www.(mysite).ws 7 minute movie $ :-) on each strip and placing them into materials I returned to the public library today.  I returned 10 cds and 4 books so that's 14 potential prospects I am reaching for the cost of 3 index cards and a bit of ink.

Keep using your imagination, keep thinking, keep goal setting, and keep developing your Marketing Mentality.

With all the tools we have success is not a matter of "if" but of "when" and "how much!"

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

In reference to the above discussion :

1.  Successful people are those who do what unsuccessful people are unwilling (or unable) to do.

2.  Some will, some won't - so what! WHO'S NEXT?!



James

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!
