It would also be a great idea if the conference calls were recorded and put somewhere in the back office so those of us who can't make the calls could listen at a later date.

Well, greetings to all the Newbies from Bob in Pensacola, FL.  I'm still a relative newbie myself.  You've found one of the best tools you can have for information and tips for bulding your business.  This forum is awesome.  I try to get over here and keep up with it regularly.  Lots of great folks here just waiting to help you.

Again, Welcome!!!

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.

Chad,

Let me try to give you some perspective here.  I've been in other programs in the past that charged a lot more than this, for less than what we're getting.  Each DVD you order is going to come, as I understand it, with your Access Code and Contact information printed on the back cover.  The packaging is absolutely fantastic.  This is going to be such an incredibly impressive package to hand out or send out to prospects.  They can't help but be impressed.  It gives us credibility that we are representing a first class company -- which we are!

I understand, we all have to work within the budget we have.  But the old adage that it takes money to make money is still true.  It's like priming a pump.  Oh, I know in today's world very few people have seen an old fashioned water pump.  With those, you never drank the last bucket of water, but saved it to prime the pump for the next time you need water.  To get the valuable substance (water) that you wanted out of the pump, you had to first put in the very same substance to get it started.  Buying your business cards, leads, DVDs, etc are the same concept.  To build your business, you need effective tools.  GDI has put together the best, most polished approach I've ever seen.  But you need the tools to work the business.  Think of any expenditures along this line as investments into your business.  Work it, work it right, and work it hard, my friend, and this business will pay you back.  The money's there for us.  The sky's the limit.  It's all up to us to go after it.

I hope that helps.  Be encouraged, Chad.
