When I joined Nuskin I thought it was a wonderful company, and still do, my upline said I would eventually have to buy some Nuskin Leads. I had my own thoughts on that and I will expand in a minute or two. But first I would like to tell you a little about the company.
Nuskin prides itself on innovation and coming up with personal care products with an emphasis on skin care, Nuskin has been around for over two decades and is committed to developing products that support the health and longevity of skin and hair.
Nuskin has a network of approximately 800,000 active independent distributors, the Nuskin compensation plan is said to be one of the most generous in the industry and they take pride in the fact that they reward their distributors for hard work, commitment and leadership.
OK back to my story, I was so enthusiastic with my new venture that I decided to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and get out there and share these products with everyone I knew. I was after additional income. I poured my heart and soul into the new business only to find out that I had to sell! One way or another I either had to sell products or sell people on my opportunity. But I was going to make this work one way or another. So I kept going.
I eventually ran out of the people on my list and I must admit I was disappointed in not making as much money as I had planned. Onwards and upwards.
You can buy several thousand to tens of thousands of leads for a couple of hundred dollars to upwards of thousands of dollars. The newer business person (not knowing any better) resorts to purchasing leads that are old and those people have been called many times. They don't want to hear from someone else about another vitamin or duplicated product. These leads have been pretty much picked over but even if they aren't once you get the lead, you still have to call them and sell them on your business. Think about it! If a lead was so good why would the lead companies sell them for peanuts. Lead generation companies are like a red light! So beware!
I personally hated calling anyone to try to convince them to come into my business. I refuse to purchase a lead and call anyone. I have done it and don't like it! I have been hung up on, abused, and had to listen to people tell me that they wish they could get off the list that is being sold. So when you buy the so called targeted list you are not getting a quality name but a name that has a history of being sold over and over again to unsuspecting people who are trying to build a business.
So I moved on!
I still get approached by people who want me to look at their business. But what they are really looking for, is for me to read it and get excited about their business. Most of them are the same old thing, a MLM or Network Marketing opportunity that requires massive amounts of leads purchases and phone work. When I see this I stay away from these because I don't want to call anyone and try to convince them to join a business that I know will not produce the promises that were made.
Where did I go?
There was an opportunity that got my attention and made me realize that it was unique and had a totally different approach and that no other MLM company had anything like it. What got me excited was a concept, of buying customers.
The company is a Nutraceutical Company that has a whole new approach to the MLM and Network Marketing Industry. I could not find anything like this on the internet except the company proposed in the plan. I looked at the products and saw that they were powerful and promoted wellness. Many others did too, however, this company was unique in that it promoted Wellness as well as Wealth. Unique.
The thought of buying Customers and not leads was getting me excited and I kept researching and learned that this company has the ability to sell direct to the consumer and then once the consumer buys the product they sell the customer to the Business Affiliate. I crawled the website and read everything that I could trying to find out if I was looking at this in the wrong way. I had never heard about buying customers and I wasn't sure that I was reading it correctly. I called several people to verify the information and then I talked to a person who had been doing it for a while and they confirmed the information. No phone calls to leads who don't want to be called, all you do is purchase the customer from the company and get the commissions.
I thought I had heard it all but not this time. I said this is like a real Business. So I went to a meeting and listened to Tom Prendergast talk about how he has gotten increased results every month for seven years. In other words his check has gone up every month since he started simply by buying customers. Many producers are already looking at this model and planning on leaving their existing companies. But just think, you can never lose your customers since they are customers and not someone's downline. This is a new innovation that has been around for almost ten years but as it catches on it will drive the other MLM or Network Marketing Companies wild because they can't compete. It will pull their producers away from them since no one likes to make unnecessary phone calls. This makes your business stable and solid.
That sounds like its good business to me! So I do not buy any Nuskin Leads any more I buy customers instead. Go here to fid out more. ItsGoodBusiness.net
