Mix It Up With Marc

I have been writing about how to research for finding the very best online business. So far my research has always paid off. But sometimes no matter how careful I am I still get stung.

The other day I had a 6:00 p.m. telephone conference with a company that I just started up with. They were supposed to be calling for some one on one mentoring. I was fully expecting them to teach my wife and I better ways of getting my business up and running and I was looking forward to learning more information to start making some serious money.

When the guy called he started talking about the company. I won’t give their name yet unless they haven’t given me a refund - and if they don’t look out, I will write a scathing blog about them and pursue getting my money back directly. That truly is the beauty of a blog. It really gives you some power to fight back. I know that the last thing this company wants is scathing reviews going out to thousands of readers every month. Like I said I won’t give their name out but part of it is “The work at home_” and the last word rhymes with billionaire.

Well when the man started talking to us we were expecting some good teaching on how to market their products. Instead he said that what we needed to do was buy $15,000 worth of their products(!!!) and then we would have thirty days to sell them to make our money back and a good profit to boot.  He called this O.P.M. or other peoples money and said that banks do it all the time.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This guy wanted us to charge $15,000 of their product at our expense and at out risk on the hope that we would be able to sell enough of their product to be able to pay off the credit card in thirty days. Well let me tell you something fifteen thousand dollars buy a lot of e-books and the chance of out selling then all before thirty day was up was probably almost impossible.

Upon hearing this, my wife who is and accountant laughed and got up and left the room. What a load of B.S. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I asked the guy if he was serious and he said absolutely. I said do you think that we could sell that much product in less than thirty days and he said  yes. Well at this point I knew I was dealing with a scam artist. I fully intend on asking for a refund today. They said they have a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied. And I can tell you that we are not at all satisfied. If they don’t give us our money back I will write a scathing blog about them to say just what I think about them.

Hmmmm

Maybe I should start a web sit reviewing online businesses. I wonder if there is any money in that?

Well anyway. I just wanted to write this blog about what happened just to let everyone out there know that you can never be too careful even when you do your home work and research a company you can still get burned. Oh well live and learn I’ll just have to be even more careful the next time.

I suggest looking for businesses that use auto responders and lead capture generators. Companies that use this kind of software are on the ball. These programs bring highly targeted leads to your web site. Leads that are interested in the products or service you have.

If your business does not use these programs then you will have to buy them at considerable expense. Businesses that already have these programs may charge a small maintenance fee but I think it is well worth it. Programs with the ability to capture your lead save you a lot of time and leave you free to do other things.

I have many friends who get all their leads off the internet. They do no cold calls at all and do a great business just by using these programs. Right now I am getting over the learning curve. Some of these programs are not real easy to learn and I am not that great on the computer.

But I am determined to learn how to use them because I know how much they will help me. One thing I am sure of though is that these programs are turning my business around. Soon I will be bringing in much larger pay checks like so many people I work with.

The way of the future is using these software programs. They are getting better and do much more. So if you join an MLM that does not use these programs you can count on doing things the old fashioned way or put out the money to apply these programs.
