Tired of Cold Calling and Bad Leads?

Are you tired of cold calling and getting bad leads that are costing you precious money and time.

Of course you are.

We have all been in this situation at one time or another. Buying expensive leads, calling them over and over again just to get in your "100+ dials" a day. Only to get hung up on, yelled at, accused of "spamming", and wrong numbers.

Oh these were the days.

Let me share with you a little about myself.

Not long ago I was wanting to find a way to leave my job and stop my 100 mile a day commute to do my job.

I heard an ad on XM radio and I called. It was just what I was looking for and definitely an area of business that interested me.

I bit "hook line and sinker." And sink is what I nearly did.

I got off the road and devoted every waking hour and sometimes sleeping hours to my new business.

I memorized my scripts so that when I spoke with my prospects the scripts wouldn't sound like they were being read.

I was on, as many as I could, "Listen and Learn Calls." Every Saturday I was on a morning call as well.

I sold my product on the weekends and recruited during the weekdays.

I remember making sacrifices required of me, some that I regret today, but I made them. And I made my "dream board" bigger than one may imagine.

I did it all.

But regardless of my efforts I seemed to be going backwards financially. The product was to pay for my advertising expenses, but the advertising expense or lead purchases were so expensive.

My phone bill was well over $400.00 per month. There was no way this was going to come out even let alone a profit...

You could say that I was beginning to "sweat bullets." I couldn't do anything right by now.

I can remember having to answer to my mentors day in and day out about how I was NOT doing my calls correctly.

How my "why" wasn't big enough. How I was beginning to sound "desparate" and who in their right mind would follow me.....

I can remember staying home, when I should have been with my family, so that I would get my calls in.

Or be on all the "new and improved" product calls that were basically all the same.

I can remember "crying" just at the thought of making another call. Or staying home another day. I kept trying to figure out how I could do better.

Examining myself into depression and beginning to believe that maybe they were right,

Maybe I didn't have enough "why."

Maybe they were right and I wasn't cut out for this Home-based business.

Maybe my sacrifices and following their instructions just weren't enough.

Maybe.... just maybe they were the ones stealing my Dreams.

Yes, my Dreams were being shattered left and right.

I became that "whinning" slug of a distributor. You know the one that you must turn away from and concentrate on the "good ones."

I was Broken.

I have never in my life felt so hopeless, discouraged. This was not me and I needed to change or I really was going to go crazy.

I finally told my upline that I was done. I gave them a year of my life and I was done with the "building" aspect of the business.

I had a nice clientele of product users so I decided to take care of them and continue to grow there.

The downline that I had was taken away and I was never to speak with my downline again.

My upline in communication suddenly became silent as well.

WOW talk about alienation. It was sudden and swift and cold. I guess that in order to keep others motivated you do have to "kick out the weak."

Little did they know I was not ready to quit. Quitting has never been something that I do nor do I entertain the thought.

I still had people buying from me and learning from me and growing with me and I was not going to abandon the product users.

I still had the dream of being successful. The goal of making my home based business work in spite them..

I began to look on the internet more, something that I really didn't have time for before. But, anyway I began looking around and found many websites selling the same products that I was selling.

My upline NEVER mentioned that I could sell outside on the internet. I would have thought this would have helped us all.

Maybe...just maybe this was a "secret" saved for the few that really did go to the top. I don't know, but I do wonder.

And maybe it was just my naivety that kept me from looking.

Nevertheless, after this finding I began to really look around and check out what else was out there.

By the way while this was happening, I had a real emptiness inside of me. I felt as if I had lost friends, and the sense of failure was really creeping in. Weird feeling but I have overcome that.

I have begun to grow and to live again.

For a long time it felt awkward not staying home and dialing someone. I put my product users on a schedule and was in contact with them on a weekly and bi-weekly basis.

My business was strong here.

My husband and I actually went on a vacation that didn't entail, product calls, stopping in parking lots and doing a dial session, and being at the "board meetings."

It was the greatest vacation in the world. I was back and ready to move beyond.

And I still wanted a home based business that I owned.

One that would allow me more flexibility of time. So that I could be with my family and friends again, without the Guilt.....

With allot of reading and buying just the basics and looking over numerous plans I found one that is really working for me.

I am gaining so much confidence, or I wouldn't be writing this article, and I am enjoying my life and seeing my articles on all the search engines, some on the first pages and some not.

Regardless, this is a place that I never thought that I would be. Prospects are coming to me, people that really want to hear from me.

No more Cold calling and bad Leads Again.

Like I said I have found a place for myself, But what about you?

Are you in this situation? If you are, it is time to gather your Dreams up and move on.........

I have found my spot in the world through the Renegade Network Marketer and the Renegade University.

I was very hesitant at first to sign up mainly because the nightmare of the past did come into play.

But, I have not and I know that you won't be disappointed either.

My Home Business is fun again and I look forward to creating new articles, that will continue to help my prospects learn and grow their OWN businesses.

This is what it is all about.

Having fun...

Not going to the "Boardroom" and sometimes being the subject of humiliation.

That is so "cooperate America." Something most of my upline was trying to get away from...

There is work that you need to do, there is studying that you need to do, there is a need to be accountable for what you do.

You must keep up your own motivation but once you have the foundation of a successful business set up it is just a matter of keepin' on keepin' on.

If by my sharing with you my experience and helping you realize that your Dreams will still come true. Then I have done what I came here to do..

Thank you for reading....
