Great initiative! And here comes the however... I am surpised/not surprised that GDI's DVD is not specifically mentioned. It would be interesting to see if anyone really uses the DVD. Why do I ask this. Because I dislike the new option for visitors to request a DVD, and that I only get the contact details for this (mystery) visitor after I confirm the request. Does GDI really expect me to pay some $20 for DVD and parcel delivery services? I have been enthusiastically and in my own way successfully promoting GDI since October 2004 and I appear to have developed an allergy for the DVD.

Some of the most effective GDI recruiting ads were ads over "free leads".

There was a time that GDI were offering new members free leads, which was great for advertising and great for recruiting.

It seems that all networkers serious about their business are on the lookout for leads, signups and sales, accompanied by the words free or guaranteed.

Anyway, once again we have launched a "free leads" advertising campaign, which should generate fresh recruits for GDI.

Hi,

As familiar as I am with designing and building websites, I have managed, for over a year LOL, to miss out on the fact that the Website builder comes with a standard plug in for a guestbook.

Having just implemented it on my team website http://easyas123.ws I hope it will stimulate some team building and critical feedback.

At times we tend to over complicate what remains a simple business to market, or we forget an essential step in the prospecting process.

I have found it useful to self reflect on the following 3 prospecting themes/steps:

curiosity
interest
decision

If prospecting is no longer going as expected, I will usually discover that I am not stimulating the curiosity of the prospect by asking enough questions up front, not stimulating their interest by inviting them to watch and checking up that they have actually watched the 7 minute movie, or not following up enough to get a clear "yes" or "no" decision.

This is a simple check list that, when used openly to self reflect on my prospecting performance, helps me to stay on track and remove the weak spots.
