I won't pull any punches on this subject.  Buying leads has been one of the biggest scams feeding off the MLM industry and hard working honest people for far to long.

First of all, I too have bought leads when I first started my MLM career.  I did it because my sponser told me to.  She told me to because that is what her sponser told her and so on up the line.

I don't blame these people.  Their intent was not to harm but to be a supportive team.  They were honestly trying to help the team to grow. 

With that being said, I bought the leads, I followed the scripts I was given.  I had a few people make an appointment to hear my biz op.  But guess what?  With the technology that we have today, they were able to see my phone  number calling them back and they just didn't pick up.  I had other leads get mad and curse at me because several people were calling them day and night pitching to them their deal.  I also want to point out that there were "fresh leads" that were never supposed to have been contacted before!

I had people hang up on me, wrong numbers and I put up with all kinds of abuse.  A person can only take so much before their self esteem starts to suffer.  That is when I stopped buying leads.

I want you to watch this video.  Listen to all the brilliant people who spent thousands of dollars on leads and what their results were for doing so.  These are teachers, people who worked for Fortune 500 companies, private investigators and other well educated people.





How does that make you feel?  Do you feel that they were stupid and deserved to be suckered for that much money?  If you said yes, I would have to disagree with you.  Here is why.

Network marketing is a people business.   People do not join a company or product as much as they join the person who signs them  up.  The sponser promises the new enrollee that they will get all the training and support the need in order to reach their financial goals.  Then they are told the need leads and buying leads is an excellent way to get them.  So of course they buy some from one of the many brokers available.

Sometimes you will find that your upline is the owner to one of these lead companies they are telling you to buy your leads from.  Do you think this ethical?  I don't.

Now, here is a simple little way to tell if leads will work for you.  If you're being told to buy leads, this is just a suggestion, but if you do this I would love to hear what happens.

First of all, ask the person who is telling you to buy leads, usually your sponser but it could be someone in your upline, if they themselves were brought in as a purchased lead.  If they say yes, ask them to introduce you to someone they brought in from a purchased lead.  Then ask that person to introduce you to one of their person who they brought in from a purchased lead.  Are you getting the picture? 

If leads really do work to build a successful network marketing business, then they should be able to introduce you to at least 6 people, all in a straight line, that were brought in to the company from a list of purchased leads.

Simple as that!

I have a simple way to generate unlimited leads for my network marketing business.  If your interested in how I do it, I would be more than happy to show you.
