Instead of running that ad, could you simply bribe new customers to your long distance service by giving them $5 to sign up?
Or, could you use that same $5 to buy your customers something of value that you could use as a premium when they sign up for your long distance service?
Implausible? No.
I saw an offer from Sprint that I could get up to 20 boxes of Cheerios free by simply changing my long distance to them. This was especially tempting since Cheerios is my favorite breakfast cereal.
Now, I don't know how much Sprint will pay for those boxes of Cheerios, but I'm sure they will be spending a lot less than their television commercials that no one watches.
So ask yourself:
Is it cheaper to give away a
three-day supply of your diet plan than
advertise for prospects?
Is it cheaper to buy your prospects dinner at a nice restaurant than
to pay for an expensive hotel meeting room?
Can I pay for a babysitter and movie to entice a couple to come to
a brief opportunity meeting?
What if I gave away books on how to become wealthy and followed
up with the recipients?
Could I get a free press release if I offered to give away
free
samples or products to the publication's readers?
Instead of paying for radio advertising, could I
become a guest on
the local radio talk show?
Could I pay influential people to become "testers" of my product
and hope they refer others because of their personal experience?
Just something to think about while you are building your network marketing business.
Can you imagine what your life could look like if you
and your team applied just some of my sponsoring tips? It might look
something like my lifestyle photos!
