Avoid buying leads but if you must..

Let's go back to SFI. Each one of us has developed, by and large, their own way of recruiting affiliates and selling the SFI opportunity or the SFI products. Others by placing solely free classified ads, others by using mainly PPCs. A small number of SFIers downloaded a template at the Resource Center (who knows how to build a website in their starting steps, nobody!) and slowly developed their own webpage. The most successful used all the methods combined and as far as I know many tried the leads route – but I don’t any of them having survived the high costs.

You have probably sensed my hostility towards this method of recruiting affiliates, right? Believe me, I have a large downline under me, I know better how many of my affiliates were successful by buying leads – in a few words no one!

I don't want to discourage you from buying leads or Eagles if you insist. I'm just warning you, you may get disappointed. Unless you join the affiliate program of a top lead generating company and get "trained" leads (IMO too expensive, not worth the investment and not SO effective, after all) you may also run the risk of getting fooled by some untrustworthy company (there are tons around).

If you definitely want to try them out PLEASE inform me immediately. I will send you an auto-responder (AR) with all the follow up you need, until you develop your own SFI personality. ALL affiliates need to be followed up anyway, but Eagles and "leads" even more!

By the way, although it's too early to be talking about your future affiliates, please note that you are NOT allowed to send ANY SFI URL to your prospects. You can do that ONLY when they become affiliates (double opt-in). I will anyway send you an AR for Prospects on your request.

Your free IAHBE leads are pretty much of the same kind so don't expect your business to grow "waiting at home" for the leads to sign up. If you really want to become another great SFI earner, this can only be achieved by "working at home" systematically and by learning all the online marketing methods.

Now here is some very valuable help on working with your IAHBE free leads as well as here.

Finally, some postal services' addresses for better prices: here
