The systems proposed appear to me to be quite cumbersome. When I advertise a site eg. http://www.my.ws/xxxx, a visitor to that site has to include information such as name and email address on a ticket before he/she is able to view the presentation. When the visitor has viewed the presentation, GDI sends to its GDI representative a notice stating "You have a new visitor to your My.WS portal site." Thereafter GDI does no follow up on this individual. . Does a follow up of these visitors expose GDI to potential legal liabilities. I am just curious.
My understanding is that for those who are invited through the GDI system, GDI provides the following levels of support:
1. Seven emails are sent out to invites over a period of two weeks ( one every two days, each with a different heading) in an effort to get the invitee to read the email and view the presentation. If the invitee does not read any of these mails GDI support activity ceases after two weeks.
2. Once the invitee has opened the email a further seven emails are sent to him over the next two weeks ( one every two days) in an effort to get him to view the presentation. If he does not view the presentation by the end of this period, GDI ceases its support.
3. If the invitee does view the presentation, I am not clear what levels of follow up are done. Does anyone know whether GDI makes any further contact with this vistor to get him to sign up as an affiliate. If so, what would prevent GDI from providing the same level of support to those who were attracted to the presentation by way of flyers, cards, or other forms of advertisements.
