My Lead System Pro (also known as MLM Lead System Pro or MLSP for short) rolled out their new, streamlined, quick start system for new system users.

This simplified start places a layer of direct capture pages into the user’s hands before they have to do any heavy lifting.  The previous set up steps and marketing strategies are still in place.  There is now a layer of simplified steps before the user needs to do some major work.

The new MLSP System Campaigns are set for new users.  No longer is there an autoresponder to set up!  Users just select from one of  four new campaign pages.

• 25 Marketing Methods
• Famous in 60 Days
• Limitless Leads For Life
• Social Media Automation

With these pages in place new users are encouraged to build value by sharing these pages and their valuable training with the people in their immediate network.  Then the training challenges them to add 5 new contacts to their network daily.  A good goal for every Internet Business Owner.

The simplified marketing tactics are good foundational efforts worthy of any marketer hoping to develop the skills needed to build a business online.

In this video I show you the screens for the new start process.  Enjoy these updates.

MLM Lead System Pro New Simplified Start Up

I love the new direction and feel it will help many people get started more quickly and not feel so overwhelmed.  I am concerned if everybody is out promoting the same pages it really does not add much value after visitors have seen it the first time.

Other concerns I have include burning out your network with “system” campaigns which really do little to brand yourself.

Finally, from the learner perspective.  The new system user really is stuck with only a single option for learning how the new start up process works.  There are no written outlines or advanced organizers to go with the video. Frustrating for those people who love to see it in print and feel it in their hands.

Is should be noted: this is the first of a series of changes coming soon.  As a result, the review of this system will be delayed  until these major updates to My Lead System Pro are completed.   This seems only fair because this is one of the weakest areas of this system.

Ultimate Prospector is a marketing support system built by Responsive Data LLC. It provides highly refined, professional capture pages build for a number of specific markets with a strong contact management system.

From their website www.ultimateprospector.com:

“Ultimate Prospector is an advanced personalized marketing and contact management system.  It has been designed to enable you to stay focused on making the sale and growing your business while leaving the time consuming sorting and shifting of prospects to the automatic features of the system.”

This system is everything they say it is.  Which is exactly why it did not perform very well in this evaluation.  The criteria used here was meant to evaluate systems that provide Internet marketing support. The Ultimate Prospector does not.  This system tracks interactions with prospects and manages the information about those connections in just a few quick clicks away. In this area focus the Ultimate Prospector system should fair OK.  Let’s see.

I hope you enjoy this review of  Ultimate Prospector.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

Personal branding in the Ultimate Prospector is available in the back end of prospect interactions.  On the front end, you get five capture pages. Each page  targets a different market niche.  After a prospect submits the capture page form they land on a marketing/sales page.  You can choose the default marketing page provided by the system or prospects can be directed to a page of your creation. This is where personal branding and customization are possible.

Personal branding options are also available with email messages you can send out.  (The actual auto-responder series connected to your capture page does not appear to be customizable.)

Personal branding on the marketing/sales page and in the optional out a series emails leaves you lacking in branding yourself.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

There appear to be no income streams with this system. You can get the system free when you help five people use the Ultimate Prospector.  You do this by having people use your affiliate URL.  (Here is mine: http://inetin.EasyHomeBusinessIdea.com/join )

Within the system there are places to purchase leads. There does not appear to be any affiliate or shared commissions for purchasing these leads.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

The capture pages were beautiful professionally designed and very attractive.  The page was informative and persuasive but not too pushy. I did not test the conversion rate of the landing pages.  The capture page form required 14 fields of information.  This  many fields will causes the prospect to express their interest by taking time to complete the entire form.  This will likely be a higher quality lead but is also likely to have fewer people complete the process. No question leads coming to the system will really have a desire to get to know you. I wonder a little if the message on the page is compelling enough for people complete the form.

While waiting for the landing / marketing page an attractive flash animation played while a page and information was being processed. The default landing / marketing page informed me I’d be contacted by somebody soon.  No additional sales information nor additional directions were given.  I felt like this left me unsure what to do next but wait. This is a customizable portion of the site so I’m looking to make the landing / marketing page introducing me and the solutions I provide.

As soon as the capture page was submitted a lead came in the back office reflecting the new person.  The recent site activity listed the new prospect.  When clicking on the prospect It showed the pages and times of visits.  The other information collected on the capture page was included in the customer profile. This provided a complete picture of the prospect.  The customer profile page also showed local information (weather and a map) useful for when you go to contact the individual.  Is also a strong section for keeping notes.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

The Ultimate Prospector has a strong relationship building, customer interaction tracking system.  There are key data elements the system maintains on each prospect.  Aside from basic contact information, the system encourages the use of custom fields allowing additional information in the system.  Details from the capture page include such things as the best time to contact, the reason for their filling out the capture page, their desired income, their level of interest, the available time and the amount they are willing to  investment.

The work flow and accessibility of information are strong in the system.  There are classifications for pipeline stages with such things as interested, qualified, member customer, voicemail, follow-up, and archive.  They also offer connections to the social media of your prospect.  Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are available in the contact management solution.  By using tabs the spaces is kept clear with only the information you need at your fingertips.

Some systems tout that the autoresponder messages build a relationship.  The system does not.  In fact autoresponder series is only seven are eight messages long.  The strength of the system is in its support for phone and personal interaction tracking.  This is done through events to do this and notes.  They also encourage direct e-mail with a feature called one touch e-mails.  Duplicatable interactions are encouraged through customizable phone scripts.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

The system is very easy to use.   Organization of task groups and information type organized by tabs is helpful.

The light coloration and gradient element style ads to professional feel.  The screen to responsive except in the case of loading the entire list of leads.  As the number of leads increase the page load time also increases.  But that’s to be expected.

On the capture page users experience rigid and strict on its validation rules.  For example I put my Google voice vanity number as my phone number.  When trying  the form I was informed that this phone number was not from the state and I said I was in.  This is strong and horrible if I’m really interested in that really is a phone number I use from a correspondence and I’m not going to be able to enter the system. not good.

My 800 number was also rejected with the same validation instruction.  Finally, after entering my actual phone number which is grounded in the state I live, I was able to submit the form.  This really made it difficult for a potential prospect to even get their information into the system.  Making the validation less stringent might help more people make it past the capture page.

On the other hand while importing leads the data integrity controls were exceptional.  This import function is very strong.  It had predictive field mapping which seemed accurate enough.  There was also the ability to add a custom field in the mapping. This was very strong.  It also forced you to assure every field had been considered before allowing you to do the upload.  Uploads speed was not lightning fast but what you want on a web upload import solution.  At the end, of the upload the system provided immediate feedback on the number of accurate uploads and the number of errors.  The fields not imported or place in to a report for download.  Nice.

The error log generated by the system was downloadable and showed not only the errors records but it included the reason for the error. It was protecting against duplicates as well as invalid information from invalid e-mail addresses.

The more I worked with the system the stronger the interface and work flow appeared to me.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

While the system is simple to use and straightforward, there is not any system training.  There could be some direction on ways to use the list tools or ways to perform some tasks. There was none.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

The system support does not appear to be directly assessable from inside the back office.  On the front end landing page for the ultimate prospector you find contact information through toll free number,  Frequently Asked Questions and a How It Works  focus mostly on answering questions of perspective system purchasers.

I do not find a system specific help section except for the contact phone number and the sales materials.  I did not try their customer service.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

The Ultimate Prospector is not a system built around teaching or coaching Internet Marketing.  Is a system focused on building a relationship with your customer through the use of their tools.  Accordingly, there is no coaching or training on how to promote your site or how to generate traffic to your site.  The capture pages do not accommodate personalized or company specific search engine optimization.  This is not entirely true.  Responsive Data is more than happy to work with companies and individuals to prepare and optimize capture pages. This customization in not part of the system out of the box.  The lead capture pages exist and it is up to you the system user to bring people to those pages.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

Ultimate Prospector has no personal development training built in to the system.  You can learn a lot by analyzing the prepared marketing materials like the emails and the phone scripts.  There really is nothing geared specifically to guide you through your personal development while working with the system. This is a robust tool prepared for use with corporations with no need for personal development training.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

The first impressions of the system are very strong because of clean, crisp up front functional is impressive.  This system was built to help manage a large number of leads and prospects.  Customer relationship and prospect interaction management shines in this  system.  It has one of the stronger customer relationship support and building systems of all the systems I’ve reviewed.  The interface of this system make it very easy to use.  Many other systems could learn from Ultimate Prospector.

All the features you need are within easy reach.  The ease of use and crisp design provide an overall good impressed. Area examined by this evaluation but not part of the system include, personal branding, creating your own capture pages, getting help in your Internet Marketing strategies and training on how to generate more traffic and get more leads.  When you try to move into these other areas, common in many lead generation systems, you see Ultimate Prospector falls short.  These criteria may not matter to you or your company.  It is clear that half of our evaluation criteria does not match the software solution were evaluating.

As a contact management solution the system is for strong.  It probably has the easiest to use interface for creating notes and tasks and events for Prospects all from a single interface.  It also provides single click access to email, phone scripts, notes and other features to assist you as you tracking interacts with your customers and potential customers.

Ultimate Prospector

After getting over the high quality of the front end capture pages and the graphically rich back office I found a strong system focused on Leads and managing leads.  This system is not strong in the area of Internet Marketing. Like most system, it depends on how you prefer to  grow your business.  Your needs will determine your preference in a system. Given the strengths and weaknesses of this system it just may meet your needs. Please check it out.

Best of success,

Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform by Jason O’Toole adds the Epic Sponsoring Platform to the free Prospex system.  The advance functionality of the system has been added over the last 8 months.  I was invited to participate with the initial “beta” group.  Each week a new features rolled out.  The system evolved to include nearly every feature of the MLM Lead System Pro and the 7 Figure Networker (higher scoring system in the initial investigation) while maintaining the unique FREE elements of Prospex and it’s foundation in Social Media integration.

Training on Prospex focuses on the most recent practices for using social networking sites and tools for driving traffic.  Epic Sponsoring Platform adds Keyword research,  Article Marketing, personal branding, campaign management and much more.  You still get blogging, Facebook and Twitter training and the most direct ways to automate some of your social networking.  Jason just plain delivers on the best ways to bring people into relationships of trust.  This advance system delivers on attraction marketing through social media and effective Internet marketing practices.

The Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform still has network marketing training with top level network marketing professionals offering both free and fee training to support the building of a downline.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

The Epic Sponsoring Platform upgrade buys you personal branding on capture pages, autoresponders and system videos.  While Jason O’Toole still in most of the back office videos, it is easy to position you as system “Success Coach” working with Jason.  The back office continually shows the “Success Coach” prominently on the back office home page. page.  Because you are on the capture pages and in the back office you are associated with other network professionals in the back office.  This expert by association does much to advance you as an expert.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

There are now more than 12 potential income sources in the back office on top of those in the Prospex system.  Because the Epic Sponsoring Platform is fee based there is a commission from users of the system.  The tools suggested in the base level Free training suggest using many of the tools with earning potential to the Epic member.  Epic members also earn a higher percentage from each income source.  Moreover commissions not paid to free members of Prospex roll up to the first Epic member.  This provides for profits from those who come into the system but do not choose to upgrade to the Epic Sponsoring Platform.

Some of the Income is derived from affiliate links is residual income stream in nature.  The affiliate programs from Prospex remain. These are mostly network marketing trainings by professional network marketers.  Many of these trainings are free.  Then there are inexpensive ebooks and some full training systems.

Currently, there are 2  eBooks, 4 CD/DVD Courses, The Master Mind Session, The Amazon aStore,  and 15 Business Tools ( Classified Ads, Conference Recording, Web Hosting, Autoresponder) as funding sources. The integration of the Amazon aStore into the Prospex Library is a nice touch.  (See an example)

Epic member the income opportunity is greatly improved income potential over the initial Prospex system.  An increased number of programs suggested throughout the trainings, higher commissions,  and the roll up of commissions to Epic members adds considerable value to Epic members.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

The capture pages for the Epic Sponsoring Platform member are 90% customizable.  The landing pages allow personal branding through customizable text and videos.  The system has 4 capture page templates. These templates can be pre-populated with the default information used in these templates as a good starting place.

Each customization can be placed in it’s own unique campaign.  Campaigns keep their own set of statistics to see the capture page traffic and conversion rates.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

The list building model of this tool is very strong.  There is both an internal system and you it can connect to an external auto-responder system.  The relationship building tool is made up of a separate pop up windows for notes, calendar events and email messages.

Clicking on the phone number allows you to schedule a call for a prospect on the calendar.  It sends you an email reminder of appointments if you want.

There is power in the ability to track your interactions with referrals you have brought into the system. More thatn working with them in the system you have the ability to export information as needed.

The system connects to an external auto-responder provides an excellent way to build and strengthen your relationship with system users.  The system comes with 2 several customizable auto-responder series to build the relationship on autopilot. Some may be disappointed in the number of auto-responder messages if they believe email is the best way to strengthen the relationship.  Due to the encouragement of the system to build the relationship through social media, phone and other means the auto-responder is not the main source of relationship building.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

The system menu system is improved by consolidating the top menu choices. The left menu still changes based on the top menu choice. After choosing a top link like “Getting Started”,  the left sidebar links  becomes the submenu of “Getting Started”. Choosing “My Account” reveals a longer list of links and a promotional bit in the left sidebar.  The left menu really provides a type of top to bottom checklist for system setup and training when in the task directed menu items were selected.  The left side show promotional and training resource links when informational type links are picked on the top menu.

Working with the system allows a smooth transition from prospect focus, to marketing campaign management, to   training resources and step-by-step system / marketing setup.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

System training is in the form of videos and step-by-step instructions under the “Getting Started” link.  Like other systems, Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform gets you started with simple steps and progresses through the “free” Prospex level trainings for the firm foundation for the advanced marketing strategies of the Epic Sponsoring Platform.

The system training is an integral part of the marketing plan.  All system training builds toward marketing.  The videos, which step you through the training, make mention of marketing implications throughout.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

There is not a specific support service in the Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform.  No FAQ,  no forums, no ticket system.  There is only a “Contact” link.  The system is simple enough you don’t need support.  When there were questions or issues they are quickly resolved by sending in the contact information.  Responses returned within 24 hours.   Good answers and issue resolution.

There was even a new feature added in days based on a single suggestion. Responsive.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

The attraction of the Prospex system is its cutting edge marketing coaching in simple strategies for Internet Lead Generation AND training and support for traditional Network Marketing values.  The purpose of all the online / offline activities and training focus on building relationships so people know, like and trust you.

The entire Internet Marketing Training from the free Prospex system only takes a few hours.  In those few hours the tools and techniques are delivered with a larger vision. The path to progress and success was not muddled with the typical barrage of many possible ways to work.

The advanced strategy training continues to flow in a natural progression. Epic membership add advanced strategies  on generating traffic through “Traffic School”. Traffic School includes advanced strategies in Keyword research, Email Marketing, Massive Twitter Traffic, Video Marketing, Forum Marketing, Classified Ads,  Article Marketing and List Building.  The power of these strategies are the efforts to provide massive traffic. The strategies follow a similar pattern so they are easy to add in as needed.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

This system is one of the few that provides on an ongoing basis.  Weekly teleconference calls also provide coaching on growing your Network Marketing business.  Even those calls dealing with Internet Marketing seem to circle back to the root purposes of  serving by leading, building relationships and growing your Network Marketing Business.

The  Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform training continually invites personal grow.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

The Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform ($49.95 monthly) is a strong advocate of traditional network values in the modern evolution of social media. The social media centric foundation training and tools coupled with the advanced traffic generation techniques make this solution what many network marketing companies need but don’t know they want.  this system provides a systematic growth pattern for distributors.  It keeps true to the fundamental principles of network marketing while promoting the application of new technologies. The Prospex Epic Sponsoring Platform is poised as a strong answer for the best of both worlds.

Sponsor Daddy is a lead generation system built by NaXum Online Marketing Services LLC. It provides highly refined, polished, persuasive, professional capture pages build for a number of specific markets. These capture pages include professional videos and online video spokespersons. The Master distributor, George Hartmann, welcomes you to the system and provides training on the system in the Automated System Training (AST).

Sponsor Daddy provides rich features like live chat and advanced blogging options not found in most systems.  Paradoxically Sponsor Daddy, with these advanced features, boasts training on “Social Media” as “Coming Soon”.

Another unique characteristic of Sponsor Daddy is how they share leads through their Monthly Complementary Autoresponder Leads. Depending on your monthly level you get anywhere from 250 to 12,000 of these leads.  This system also allows you to import your own leads into the system or you can purchase leads if you are a member at the 50 dollar monthly rate or higher.

It is always amazing to see the various ways systems like this help solve the problem of leads and training to develop leads through the system.  Let’s see how Sponsor Daddy works in each of the 10 areas of evaluation.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

Sponsor Daddy is strongly bound by predefined capture pages. These pages contain the members name and contact information.  There is no other personal branding available on the more than 20 professionally prepared capture pages. If you pay a higher monthly fee you gain more personal branding flexibility.  At the higher rate you can create your own personal capture pages and personal auto responders.

Personalization of the system happens in the profile, picture gallery and blogging areas.  While these do not provide branding to the capture pages they do brand you to other system users and blog readers.

The blogging tools and interface also allow you all the flexibility you would have with a WordPress or b2evolution blog.  Your blog can brand yourself but when you point people to the system provided capture pages they will get great design, persuasive content and strong information with your name in the corner.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

The only funded proposal in this system is the system itself.  There are multiple monthly levels ($25, $50, $100, $200) members can participate. Each level provides an increased residual income source for “upline”.  This system is distinguished from other systems by paying on 4 levels deep.  The residual income funded proposal provides income through a binary compensation plan with n flush.  There is an enrollment bonus means of providing income to system users as people join the system.

This system has no affiliate programs or means to connect other funding programs into the system.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

Sponsor Daddy provides highly refined, persuasive, professional capture pages build for a number of specific markets. The capture pages include professional videos and online video spokespersons.  Once a person comes through the capture pages they arrive at your site.

Sponsor Daddy gives you a .com, a .net and a .me site to promote.  If visitors come in through your .com site they get to know more about you, your primary business and your blog.  If they come in through your .net site they discover more about the Sponsor Daddy tool and opportunity.  On the .com site they provide 18 professionally developed capture pages for multiple targeted markets.  At the $25 level you have access to only a few of these.  At the $50 dollar level you get a few more.  All these pages are available to the $100 or $200 a month members.

There are 6 pages available for use on the .net site. Again more are available for higher level members.  Custom capture pages are available for higher paying members.

The .ME site does not have customization capabilities.  It promotes the Sponsor Daddy opportunity and provides a set of leads into the system.

Live actors, live chat, professional videos and other capture page enhancements are only available to the higher end memberships.  Custom capture page capabilities were not examined as a part of this review so their potential for strengthening this section’s score were unrealized.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

Sponsor Daddy leadership understands the essential role the relationship has in the Network Marketing process.  They teach using the contact management tools, personal contact, personal emails and auto-responder messages of the Sponsor Daddy back office to strengthen relationships.

The “Hot Prospects” menu item at the top of every system page puts at your fingertips the newest members of your list.  Sponsor Daddy provides a color coded smiley face icon in front of contacts to flag them as “HOT”.  In trainings by Sponsor Daddy leaders they suggest various results which would cause the smiley face to be removed from a contact.  They also promoted personal contact and followup.  Here are the color and code instructions from in the system:

[See #] New! Prospects who filled out your form.
[See #] Return! Prospects who filled out your form a second time.
[See #] Transferred! Prospects transferred to you.
Prospect Name Color Code
Green: Prospects who filled out your form.
Blue: Returning Hot Prospects.
Red: Prospects who opted out and/or are inactive.

Leads from external systems can be imported into Sponsor Daddy.  You own your list and can export it at any time.  You can create your own auto-responder series inside the system. There appears to be no hooks to external auto-reponder systems (like Awebber, Get Response, iContact etc).  The number of auto-responders and the number of messages in a series increases as the amount you pay goes up.

The tools in the contact management site of Sponsor Daddy are stronger than most systems because they provide for import and export of purchased, complementary and your own.  Also the use of more visual clues helps you manage your prospects.  Sometimes the added information makes list displays a little cluttered in the end the value is worth the bit of clutter.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

The system has a consistent header menu interface with a right side tree menu which varies depending on the page.  This works until a page in one area takes you to another and the side menu changes.  The My Info button takes you to a page which has a top sub menu with a  lot of critical services like “My Profile”, “My Capture Pages” and many other oft used pages.  This breaks with the right side menu of the other major page types and took a little getting used to.

The training area also had multiple layers without any clear overview (important for a top down learner like me).  It seems like the training area probable grew to a point that it was reorganized with plans for future trainings which only have place holders in the system at this time.

System usability is good for those common tasks.  Top level menu items are those needed to foster what activities that matter most.  Like most systems with a large number of features there are several ways the interface could be better organized or streamlined.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

Sponsor Daddy’s “Getting Started” Automated System Trainer (AST) is strong and clear.   Each step is presented with a video.  Each main landing page in the system also has a video to explain the page. The videos are to the point with enough detail to make clear what is being taught.   Occasionally, additional resources mentioned in the video did not communicate as clearly.  I remember clicking on a “checklist” link anticipating exacting details for me to follow.  Instead I got a single page with three or four items on it with a bunch of lines for me to write on.  I wondered why what I was looking at was a “checklist” and how it was to help me with that topic.

Most of the steps made sense and were quite clear.  Because of the binary, multilevel nature of the internal compensation plan early on in the training they presented “important” system building automation features which made little or no sense to me because the overall compensation plan was not yet taught.  Later when seeking more information on the compensation plan I did not find any in the system.  Only by listening to an opportunity webinar did some of this start to make sense.

Overall the system training gets you up and running with the system.  A few of the items covered are stated as “required” or “important” but the reasons why and followup on how this impacts system success is left wanting. For example the blog training got my attention when it stated “Get to blogging.  It’s one of the best ways to drive traffic”.  There was no direction on how to blog or how this will drive traffic.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

System support in Sponsor Daddy is sufficient.  There is no interactive forum but there is a FAQ and a support ticket system.  The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is the first stop for support.  There is even a video suggesting leaders are readers and  and before you input a support ticket you should read the FAQs to assure the question you have has not been answered before.  The FAQ area seems current with technical and non technical questions and answers.

I did not try the support ticket system.  It is connected to the main system through navigation links.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

This system surprised me.  With the high quality, professional capture pages complete with spokespersons and motivating videos, I thought they would provide high quality training on how to drive traffic to these powerful pages.  I was wrong.  In the blog set up video it was suggested that the blog was “one of the best ways to drive traffic”.  Yet I did not find detailed ways to build a blog nor how to use it to “drive traffic”.  I did not go through every training but I thought I would see more on driving online traffic to this online resource.  The only resources I found for online promotion were Web Ads.  Instead I found training on drop cards, flyers, business card and such off line techniques.

My real disappointment was when I clicked on the “Social Media” button and found “Coming Soon!”  Most of the systems I’ve reviewed have something about the social medial tools or techniques.  Several of them were still trying to figure out the very best methods but did have something.

There are so many other strategies for generating online traffic that were not mentioned I began to wonder if this system was built to support online activities or mostly off line activities.  The training area has several Reaching Out Methods (ROM).  The trainings complete are Face-to-face and fliers.  Banner Ads, Tell-A-Networker, Placing Ads and Social Networking are still “Coming Soon”.  I still don’t believe it.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

Sponsor Daddy master distributor George Hartman knows what it takes to build a Network Marketing company.  His training touch on and encourage consistent hard work. This shows in the Figures and Gauges training.  He talks about the Daily Method of Operation and having an accountability partner to assist in reaching goals.  This is a critical component missing in many systems.

A quote seen and used in this system is “When progress is measured, progress improves.  When progress is measured and progress is reported progress improves immensely”.  While personal development is not a clear thread through all trainings there are enough gems in the system that you know they are aware an concerned beyond the technology.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

Overall the idea of free leads and multiple levels of compensation sound good but the lack of Internet Marketing training and direction leave me with a less than favorable impression.  I guess the high quality professional capture pages remind me to much of the typical MLM company duplicated website.  It says a whole lot about the company or the system or the individual’s situation but it falls short on being personable or down to earth to the individual sitting at the computer in their home.

The trainings are strong but sill lack much of the Internet Marketing component I would have expected in such a system.

Overall the Sponsor Daddy system has all the essential elements needed to build your business online.  If a professional image is important for you than personal branding then this system is a wise choice.  If you are excited by multiple levels of income potential and leveraging your efforts this system makes sense.  If you are energized by offline promotion and picking up Internet Marketing on your own this system will clearly support your efforts.

Sponsor Daddy System

After getting over the high quality of the front end capture pages and the graphically rich back office I found a strong system focused on Leads and managing leads.  The system also supports more advanced capabilities and quantity based on the level of user enrollment.  The multiple levels of income will attract some.  At the end of the day the effectiveness of the system at training people to independently generate leads will perpetuate the systems growth.  Without success individuals will leave and the system will survive on the continual influx of new system users.

Personal development strength aside, this system is not strong in the area of Internet Marketing.  Like most system, depending on how you prefer to grow your business will determine your preference in a system.  Given the strengths and weaknesses of the system may meet your needs please check it out.

Best of success,

Mentoring For Free Created by Linda and Michael Dlouhy is a surprisingly simple system with extreme value added through the free 10 weekly calls and audio archives of those call going back to January 18th, 2007.  All the recorded calls and those live now deal with the Network Marketing Industry and NOT a specific company.

The value added for system users is the ability to tap into interactive coaching calls, experienced mentors and the rich resources helping system users succeed through sound principles, integrity and courtesy building relationships.

For the $ 19.90 a month this simplistic system is an excellent value and easily duplicated.  The value is extreme if you desire personal development, network marketing industry and lead generation training.  The solid principles and practices for the long term beyond narrow sited techniques is their emphasis.

I have read some posts suggesting Michael Dlouhy is trying to recruit individuals into his own organization.  There is nothing on this site or in the call I’ve listened to that would indicate this accusation.  Because they do talk frankly about companies who do not follow the basic principles taught by Mentoring For Free it may look as if there is a effort to discredit other companies.  I see it as they have the guts to call it as it is even if it is unpleasant.

The participants in the call each seem to have the interest of the listeners at heart. (One trainer lost a monthly income build up over many years. His $4000+ a month income was gone one month because of something in the companies Policies and Procedures.  Believe me, he really wants to save you this kind of potential problem.)

This is really a FREE Mentoring system.  You do not need to pay anything to participate in the calls or when using the training materials.  You only pay if you purchase materials or want to use this simple system to gather and support leads.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

Mentoring for Free provides some simple branding practices like mentioning you in the ebook as the person to contact and send information regarding the exercises in the book.  The capture pages also have a place for the system user.

While this looks good it really is not branding you.  Michael and Linda’s names are through out the sales pages and the free 10 Steps to Success eBook.  The key persons in the eBook are Michael and Linda.  Personal branding is there hand in hand with branding the system creators and call presenters.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

This system provides 4 products for which users pay.  These products are not affiliate items so all profits help fund the system owners.  These items are: 1. The Mentoring for Free program 2. Powerful Networking Secrets. 3. The “5 Pillars” and  4. the “Personality Colors”  audio cd’s at 19.90 each.

This system does not provide a funded proposal.  Instead it focuses on you using the system to build your primary business and earn your money in your company’s compensation plan.  In several placed in the training calls they make it sound like getting money off your system users raises questions of integrity of your desire to really mentor and help system users.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

This system has 8 capture pages.  Most focus on the Success in Ten Steps booklet. These pages are referred to as “Doorway” pages.  Essentially, each page contains the required information and some personalization of the sponsor and a call to action.   These capture pages are quite different from those if other systems.  They do not follow the Large title bulleted text, testimonials kind of page.  Look for yourself.  You can see the lead capture pages below:

The capture page are the the latest “New” school they seem to be working despite the aging appearance.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

This system does help establish the relationship because of the autoresponder messages are going directly to the new system users.  Better than the autoresponder messages  (not editable) the system training strongly recommends you place follow up calls.  The system also provide regular call training through live events where leads are getting calls and the “experts” show how it is done.

The system also encourages the people who sign up for the system sent their why and their weekly goals to their “Sponsor” into the system.  Other personal level interactions are encouraged as the calls suggest and strengthen the relationship of the system user and “Sponsor” (system owner).

This system strongly supports principles and practice that work to help you build your network marketing business on or off line.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

The back office of the system is conducive to working with prospects.  Options, Prospects, stats and appointments all work easily for the typical days work.  The interface for scheduling activities and tracking the status of prospects and notes about prospects all work reasonably well though it appears to be from an older generation of web page design.  It works.

The friendly usability becomes a challenging interface in the training area.  Until you know there are multiple training material interfaces meant to meet the needs of individuals at various stages of development it can be confusing.  Even withing the “Advanced” training areas the frames based interface leaves finding certain information difficult at best.

The training and call archives are right on and rich but getting to the next thing you need and finding it again when you return can be a bit challenging.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

Despite the relative maturity of the system the system training was only done through videos.  I would have though some system handouts or overview graphics would exit.  Instead the videos are available from a menu page that looks like it was build in 1995 as the first graphical pages were appearing on the Internet.   If you can get past the appearance (and you should) the videos do deliver the needed information.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

The system support system handled reasonably through help tickets and FAQ and glossary pages.

My ticket system experience was satisfactory.  They responded within 24 hours my questions and provided informative assistance.  The system has a ticket system integrated in.  This is not an third party attachment as we have seen in many other systems.

FAQ’s deals with prospect communications and some features of the site relative to the prospect’s experience.  There are no FAQ’s relative to the workings of the system (Probably not needed as the system is pretty straight forward.)

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

At first look the Internet Marketing side of the system looks weak as the trainings on the first few training pages deal more with the Mentoring For Free eBook “Success In Ten Steps” and associated MLM trainings.  Once you get to the advanced training pages you begin to discover archived conference calls on most of the typical Internet Marketing Topics.

The content of the trainings are often conversational and interactive with callers.  There seem to be very few visuals except for a few webcast type resources on some topics.  Again the information is there just not as tightly organized as some may want to move quickly through getting going with a particular strategy.

It is refreshing in many ways to listen to these calls an hear first hand the real experiences questions and concerns of system users.  The overarching feel is we are all in this together learning.  Only if you don’t  ask or you are not honest are you not going to learn.  Shared success are heartfelt and sincere.  Refreshing after many of these Guru to the rest of you trainings in many of these systems.  For many the slow progress through a topic may be to slow.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

This system has a very strongest personal development component.  Just after a system user goes through the eBook and a few fundamental webcasts they user is direct to take part in a 30 day Mental cleanse.  The calls around the 30 day cleanse cover different chapters of “Think and Grow Rich” each session.  The moderator and lessons by individuals are shared around the chapter of the week.  It certainly does not look like a lead generation system at all.  It looks like a master mind group progressing through mastering the principles in Think and Grow Rich.

Personal development is all the classes and conference calls are about.  There is continual reassurance that any failures of the past are not the participants fault.  The system constantly communicates “you are perfect the way you are”.  In nearly every case it looks like this system exists for personal development first and lead generation 2nd.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

I am surprised.  I put this system off to the end because I know it was just a free eBook download and a prospect tracking backend.  I signed up for the book multiple times.  Read the book and thought that was the end of the system.  I was wrong.

System users are supposed to call within hours of the down load with a “Courtesy Call”.  Then when the eBook is read they offer additional trainings and one of the simplified training pages.  This is to be  followed by invitations to one of the ongoing training calls.  There are suggestions for connecting with system users at several critical junctures as the system helps determine who is coachable and who has the persistence necessary for success in the MLM industry. (I did not get any of this kind of personal treatment from the folks I went through to enter they system.)

Now that I know how the system really is designed to strengthen a real interactive relationships with real people, I see it as one of the stronger systems.  This is because the relationship is not based on product purchases and autoresponder messages.  It is built on a fully supportive mastermind group building a solid relationship based on an education on very specific sound principles.

Through this system you will not end up with lead ready to blow your program out of the water in days.  Instead this system helps you find and work with the stable consistent performers you want at the center of your organization.  They will likely to produce consistently over the long haul if they come through all the steps of this duplication system.

Please feel free to check out Mentoring for Free by Michael Dlouhy and expect me to give you a call to assure you got your eBook download OK.  Then I will act as a mentor/sponsor in helping you to succeed. (You need to know I am not making any money if you purchase the system. There is no funded proposal here.)

Best of success,

Duplication 123 Created by Simply Results

Duplication 123 is a lead generation system with a single capture page, customizable auto-responder pages and 6 modules of training in Network Marketing industry, Internet Marketing running a small business.

The system provides a single source of funding.  It uses power builder type practices to encourage quick sign up due to the perception of many others are signing in now so the sooner you sign the better your chances.

This investigation is based on access to the “FREE” backoffice access.  It is entirely possible things may be different in the FEE version but there was nothing in the working or directions in the FREE version to why I would want to pay.  No clarification of potential additional functionality or features to come when you pay the 35.00 a month.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

This system has no way to brand yourself except in the auto-responder customizations.  The landing / capture page is all about Duplication 123.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

You get a single stream of income with this system.  Individuals signing up for the system pay about 35.00 a month.  The person who brought you in gets a commission off their payment.  This is the only earning instrument in the system.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

The lead capture page and following sales page are busy with a ton of good looking, well integrated graphics.  I felt that most of this fluff made the site entirely too commercial and sterile.  The copy is ok but does not keep your attention. (Especially in the midst of the animated elements on the page driving your attention.)

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

The system provides 13 auto-responder letters in 3 different categories for a total of 39 prospect letters.  That sounds like a lot until you begin to read the letters. They are very simple and would need some attention if you really wanted to brand your expertise.  Here is a sample:

Hey FirstName,

Does building your business make you frustrated?

Are you facing money and time challenges? Do you have enough qualified prospects to talk with?

I think I can help: MyWebSite

There is a tremendous resource available now that is helping many others with these same challenges. It can even putting money in your pocket while you build your business bigger, better and stronger! Wouldn’t that be nice?

Here to Help,

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

Due to limited customization system use is pretty straight forward.  The menu system is sufficient.  I found myself looking for additional features (like custom landing pages or additional affiliate programs) but not finding any hints.  Probably because they are not their.  The site configuration section is driven by a wizard like interface.  All menu items have sub menus to provide some direction.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

There is a simple document suggesting customizations to you site by adding a picture, some  text that shows on the sales page after they enter the system and adding information on the about us page.  When I tried to actually do what the training suggested I got ” NO CUSTOMIZED CONTENT AVAILABLE”  based on the template I had selected (There was only one to choose!)

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

There is a FAQ section (empty), Notifications, Messages and a contact support button.  I’ve sent them a question about the commissions available.  I’ll let you know how that goes.  The response on the query was timely (within 24 hours) and accurate.  Turns out the commission was on the left sidebar of the landing page (http://duplication123.com/inetin – missed amoung the clutter).

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

In the 6 training modules with multiple items in each I found little to help in important ways on the Internet Marketing front.  There is reference to some strategies but with single and half page descriptions on the actions needed it just seems a bit weak particularly in light of videos, webinars and full blown tutorial in many of these other systems.

The training seems outdated.  Maybe it is in the presentation of text only.  No visuals and no multimedia.  I could just hope the text trainings really would provide me with adequate marketing support (though I doubt it.)

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

Duplication 123 might be easy to duplicate but I do not see it bringing success to users unless they compensate for the weak landing page with pre landing page capture pages helping the user to see the value of this system.

The prospect management tools look better than most system because they provide notes and tasks and activity tracking.  I just with the training / marketing support were stronger.  Even then I prefer a more straight forward capture page with less distractions.

It is likely I will not be recommending this system to others unless I find the system has an additional feature set tied to the pay for version.  Many  of  the elements are  there but not implemented in a way to leave me confident in the system.

Take a look at the system:

WT Power Builder by Patrick and Tracy ‘Power Gal’ Monteforte.

WTPowers was launched in 2001 out of frustration they had trying to find good online marketing tools.  They built as they say, “a comprehensive automated support system for network marketers.”

Training on the site focuses fundamental Network Marketing principles.  Great support and training on using the phone to build relationships with cold market / leads generated by the system. This is a Power Builder System.  It “pre-enrolls people” into your opportunity and helps them make a decision by letting them see other people in the system signing up.  This is a little different that the other systems we have seen.

The diverse training strategies are in a system worthy of consideration at the marvelous monthly fee of $19.95. Yes, it costs $19.95 a month. There is enough trust in the backend funding that the entire system is as they say “self supporting”.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

This system provides a straight forward simple capture page with a sales follow up page.  It also provides a visitors page to the WT Power System as well.  Because the framework and flow are straightforward personalization is 80% yours. You can change everything except the structure.

You may take over the entrie landing page and the Pre-Enroll pages. You also may customize the WTPowers sales page.  Personalization is available through this system.  Simple customizations are possible but knowledge of HTML is helpful for more extensive customizations.  It can be a lot of work.

If you know a lot about HTML you will find the page framework a little limiting.  You still need to work in the obounds of the system.  This can be a hugh amount of work.

If you choose to make NO customizations the pages perform OK with generic information about joining a business opportunities.

You may also make specific templates for all members on your team or in your company.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

Income is derived from commissions paid on  individuals who purchase the system.  This appears to be the only residual income source.  There are a few other tools available for purchase in the system back office.  These tools support marketing activities through a one time purchases.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

By default WT Power Builder has a single, somewhat generic landing page with distracting, irrelevant menu items.  If you are comfortable with creating your own capture page, you can change the content of the blocks but you will not be able to change the structure.  This means the distracting menu items will remain on the page even after your customization.

The simplicity of having a single page allows users to focus on making this page perform effectively.  (No there is not split testing in the system.)

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

The list building potential of this tool is simple.  Basic contact information is stored in the system.  You have the ability to make notes for the contact in the sytem.

You can send resend the welcome email to users by just clicking the send button when viewing the contact details.

You can export your contact list as Excel, Tab or comma delimited file.  The file only includes the contact information.  No notes are exported.

The system has no task lists, interaction journal, prospect status or contact management type tools.

The system does work as 30  autoresponder messages manageable after canceling the “Broadcaster” tool interface.  It was not on the main menu near Contacts or Tools and Services.  It is located under Customize Your Site.  The all messages are not populated so this will require you to create the autoresponder messages you want to send.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

The workflow in this system is not always smooth.  Using the capture page editor or the html generating tool does not always bring you back where you would expect.  Often this system requires two or three clicks where other systems only take one.

The placement of Broadcaster under tools & services seem out of place.  Tools for you to communicate with your contacts should probably be closer to the Contacts area.  Autoresponder management might also be located close to the Contacts area.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

System “Getting Started” training is in the form of  three audio files.  Overview, beggining and advanced are the audios.  There is one  “To View The Video Demos ‘How This System Works’ ” video showing step by step system operation.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

Live Support and Help ticket menu items are always present in the system.  (Even on the capture page where they are potentially a distraction.)

There are strong support elements as you are working in any area.  There is an help question mark and video symbol on the top bar for most of the windows.  The question mark pops up the help file.  The video symbol pops up a screen captured video showing how to perform the specific task.

There are also weekly system training webinars.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

Weekly calls on “Dialing for Dollars” are not Internet marketing trainings while the topic does come up at times.

The principles and practices promoted by this system are those critical to successfully dealing with team members and potential clients.  The skills focus on following up with system “pre-enrollees” and other leads via the phone.

While this is an good tool for capturing and motivating contacts it is NOT an Internet Marketing training system.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

This system is one of the few programs which personably promotes the personal progress of individuals as they deal with the challenges of building a business.  Much of the focus is build around embracing the use of the telephone.

This system and the weekly dialing for dollars call are perfect for people having trouble working with the telephone aspect of their business.  The growth of individuals are highlighted on these calls.  Tracy is powerful in her optimism of the power of using the phone.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

This system scores poorly for the criteria established but is powerful in it’s simplicity.  It has it’s place in two main strengths.  First the beauty of a PowerBuilder system. While building  the relationship the system adds subtle pressure while showing others in the system joining “now”. The second strength of this system is the exceptional training on how to work the phones.

Like many of the systems under investigation, this is a simple system.  It has the critical elements required to support success.  The greatest weakness of this system is the lack of training in generating traffic using the  Internet.  The greatest advantage of this system is it’s focus on time proven fundamentals and the mastery of phone skills.

For individuals wanting to grow their business offline with online support this is an excellent system.  It provides consistent training on moving contacts to the next step using the phone.  The online support of the sales process is useful as the powerline promotes action.

With company / group specific customization the possibilities for use with a team as part of a process with duplication has promise.

Take a look at the system:

http://inetin.com

Prospex by Jason O’Toole provides a refreshing perspective on what a lead generation system can be.  This system was created over the last 2 years from the perspective of a successful Internet/network marketer.  It has heavy support for networkers with less of Internet Marketer slant than most system in this investigation.

Training on the site is a narrow focus on the most recent practices for using social networking sites and tools for driving traffic.  You do not find PPC or Article marketing training here.  You get blogging, Facebook and Twitter.  You get an automated integration of social networking with blogging.  Jason just plain delivers on the way to bring people into relationships of trust.  He delivers in ways no other system delivers on attraction marketing.

This site also supports network marketing with training by top level network marketing professionals offering both free and fee training to support the building of a downline.

These diverse training strategies are in a system worthy of consideration at the marvelous monthly fee of FREE.  Yes, it costs $0.  There is enough trust in the backend funding that the entire system is “self supporting”.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

You are not branded unless you purchase an upgrade which will allow you to use your own videos on the capture page.  Jason O’Toole is the primary man in the trainings and on the landing page.  That said Jason takes a far less prominent role on landing page.  He is there to add credibility and the human touch at the end of the letter. Other than that, the capture uses testimonials from other network professionals on the benefits of the system.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

Income is derived from affiliate links in the system.  The affiliate programs are mostly network marketing trainings by professional network marketers.  Many of these trainings are free.  Then there are inexpensive ebooks and some full training systems.

Currently, there are 2  eBooks, 4 CD/DVD Courses, The Amazon aStore,  4 Business Tools ( Classified Ads, Conference Recording, Web Hosting, Autoresponder) as funding sources.

These have changed in the last 2 weeks.  The site is evolving and improving with new materials and funding propositions.  Epic Sponsoring is a fee-based  enhanced version of Prospex allowing more personal branding and residual income stream potential.

The integration of the Amazon aStore into the Prospex Library is a new powerful feature.  (See an example)

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

Prospex has a single,  somewhat generic landing page with distracting, irrelevant menu items.  There is NO customization of this page.  The landing page has audio statements from various Network Marketing leaders with Jason O’Toole shown at the end as the person behind the system.  This softens the branding of a single individual you see in so many other systems.

Granted it is NOT YOU, but it is multiple experts all pulling for your prospects success.  You can be seen as one of those.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

The list building potential of this tool is very strong but you would never know it.  The interface for working with folks you refer to the system is horrible.  It is made up of various pop up windows for various activities.

The system has a calendar which seems disconnected from your interactions with prospects.  As it turns out, you schedule a call for a prospect and it shows on the calendar.  It even sends you an email reminder of appointments if you want.

There is power in the ability to track your interactions with users you have brought into the system.  Too bad it is hidden between appearing / disappearing windows and  menus.  It could be one of the strong points of the system if it was easier to use like the Magnetic Sponsoring or Freedom Duplicator systems.

The ability to export information allows you to “Own” the list.  You are then able to add the list to autoresponders and other tools for marketing campaigns.  (Another feature added in the last two weeks)

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

I struggled a little because of the changing left menu system.  After choosing a top link like “Getting Started”,  the left sidebar links  becomes the submenu of “Getting Started”.  Left sidebar items disappear in several cases.  Choosing “My Account” reveals a longer list of links and a promotional bit in the left sidebar.  This inconsistency takes a bit of getting used to.

A suggestion would be to make the links on the left side could become pop up menu items tied to the top level menu.  The Left sidebar could then consistently promote the latest training call and the upgrade package or other specials.

There are different link locations inside the training pages, the library, the  account page and the home page.  Inconsistencies allow for some discomfort in working with the system.   This effects system usability and diminishes from the sites professional potential.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

System training is in the form of videos and step by step instructions under the “Getting Started” link.  Like other system Prospex gets you started with the details of configuring the tool without providing the needed foundation to know WHY you are doing it.

The set up steps are not to difficult, but should take place AFTER the marketing plan is in place.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

There is not a specific support service in Prospex.  No FAQ,  no forums, no ticket system.  There is only a “Contact” tab.  The system is simple enough you don’t need a lot of support.  When there were questions or issues they are quickly resolved by sending in the contact information.  Responses returned within 24 hours.   Good answers and issue resolution.

There was even a new feature added in days based on a single suggestion.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

The attraction of the Prospex system is its cutting edge marketing coaching in simple strategies for Internet Lead Generation AND training and support for traditional Network Marketing values.  The purpose of all the online / offline activities and training focus on building relationships so people know, like and trust you.

The entire Internet Training only took a few hours.  In those few hours tools and techniques for results were delivered with a larger vision.  This was refreshing.  The path to progress and success was not muddled with the typical barrage of possible ways to work.

Missing was the Marketing Plan and entire strategy overview support for the individual technical video presentations.  For advanced users suggestions on optimizing additional strategies might have a place.  These advanced strategies are supported more fully in the upgrade, Epic Sponsoring.

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

This system is one of the few that provides strategic direction to personal development on an ongoing basis.  Weekly teleconference calls usually provide coaching on growing a Network Marketing business.  Even those calls dealing with Internet Marketing seem to circle back to the root purposes of building relationships, serving by leading and building your Network Marketing Business.

Permission to be where you are and an invitation to grow is a consistent theme through Prospex training.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

This system scores poorly for the criteria established.  Despite the low score training balances old school network marketing principles  with cutting edge social networking tactics at no cost makes this very attractive.  The more systems I review the more I appreciate simple solutions with strengths in just the right spots.

Prospex has me wondering if most of the right things are in the right spots.  This product was released in May so it still has some growth until it is fully established.  Time will tell but for now Prospex is poised to turn some heads and provide value to its users.

Prospex (Epic Sponsoring $49.95) is evolving to become a strong advocate of traditional network values in the modern evolution of social media.  Many network marketing companies are struggling to identify how they will use online systems to duplicate successfully.  Prospex is poised to position itself as a strong answer of the best of both worlds.

The success and sustainability of the system relies on several elements in the purchased training area.  Do to the quality of the free training one may ask if there is even a need for purchased training materials.  Time will tell if the model is sustainable.  Until then open a free account and take advantage of a cadre of network marketing experts working around a simple but strong lead generation system.

Best of success,

Freedom Duplicator by Rod Moore is a straightforward simple system with all the elements needed to succeed.  Rod’s approach to the system and how it will help is a little different than most systems out there.  He really seeks to add extreme value and a tool worthy of your consideration.

When you get started with the system you actually get the training first. A nice approach.  You are enrolled in the MLM Attraction Marketing University at no charge.  Once you sign up you receive over 20 emails with links to training video links.  Each builds upon the prior.

Actual upgrade into the Freedom Duplicator System was difficult.  There were no direct links to the system sign up page.  All the links I could find pointed to the MLM Attraction Marketing University sign up page.  (Conversion rate into the program would likely be stronger if the link to the Freedom Duplicator Members area also had a Sign Up link.)  Upon request he sent me out the link.  Now we can jump into investigation of this system.

Rod is a personable individual with a helpful attitude. He was more than willing to talk on more than one occasion via Skype.   He is practicing what he suggests in the Attraction Marketing University Introductory section on Attraction Marketing.

Branding – How well does the system brand YOU as an expert?

Rod Moore is heavily branded in the system.  He is in every video and he is expounding his wisdom in the MLM Attraction Marketing University.

The capture/landing pages are entirely customizable.  You can add all you want about your expertise.  Just know you will want to introduce Rod Moore as a trusted expert because your people will be seeing his face throughout the MLM Attraction Marketing University frontend to the Freedom Duplicator System backend upgrade.

Income Streams – How does the system generate cash flow?

The primary source of income in this system are sales of others into the system.  This is the only source of ongoing income unless you include an ongoing income producing product / service in your custom links.

The other affiliate programs in this system are OK.  They are affiliate links from Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg’s programs.  Recently, Rod added the ability to add your own affiliate links.  This is powerful as you can include any program you desire.  (I put  a few in, but have not tested their integration.)

Flexibility in this area helps the monitization potential of this system.

Capture / Landing Pages – What brings qualified people in?

The system provides 7 “Index” pages. Each has a related “Promotion link”.

• Main Index Page – Long Copy
• Forget Renegade University
• Blank Template Page 1
• Main Index – Short Copy V1
• Dominate The Search Engines V1
• Attracting Twitter Leads
• Facebook Attraction Marketing

The promotional link points to the primary Freedom Duplicator Capture page which is really the MLM Attraction Marketing University “Free” enrollment page.  This is in keeping with what Rod teaches about having a single marketing funnel with an “irresistibly offer”.

As you can see these “Index” pages leans toward specific needs of network marketers online.  You have control over the information in the subsections of these index pages.  A very nice feature.

After people are on your list you can send them messages which contain links to the other affiliate programs you put into the system.  This is in keeping with Mike Dillard’s Traffic Formula training.  Build your list.  Build your relationship.  Monetize your list.  Rod would have you include various affiliate links in follow-up emails.

Relationship Building – How do you establish a relationship with your list?

Your relationship with your list is strengthened by your agility to follow up with appropriate notes and ratings in the lead management area.

More than just an autoresponder, this system has fields for “Best time to call” and “Next follow up date”.  hHe also as a link to “Send Mail”.  In other words the system supports on and offline relationship building.  You have the freedom to add notes into the system at will.

Strengthening relationships is a key element of what Rod teaches and what his system supports.  All this is done in the Freedom Duplicator System.

There is NO way to own the list.  You cannot export the information in “Your” list.  This raises the question of whoes list is it really.  All the valuable Customer Relationship data is managed in a system you do not have complete access to.

This is a weakness that could be easily resolved with export capabilities.

Usability – How does the system support your work in the system?

Simple and straightforward.  Nothing difficult here.  There is no real workflow direction to the system.  Instead there are always available links that give you what you need.  (The term Index Pages for your Capture / Landing pages took some getting used to).

There was no clear way to get help or assistance.  No place to ask questions or see the questions others are asking.

System Training – How do I come up to speed with the system?

Training on the actual system setup is under the Training tab.  There is a system Overview video.  Some technical videos on registering and forwarding a domain.  After the domain name stuff it jumps into setting up your profile.  (It seems to me the order of these should be reversed.)

The final system set up videos deal with “Working With Your Leads” and “Sending Group Emails”.

All setup and introductory information is done by video.  Like other systems investigated I see this as a weakness.  Video is great for the first time through but it is horrible for users who need a check list or reference.

System Support – When I get stuck what help can I expect?

Training in video is the only thing I can find in terms of support.  The answers might very well be in the video, but if I cannot find it It will do me little good.

No FAQ.  No online community. No live chat.  No phone number.  There is NO system support visible.

I guess you are left contacting Rod directly.

Internet Marketing Training – How do I generate Internet leads?

This system is very strong on simple, straightforward training. The Partner Training Centre has 7 simple steps. The “Fast Start”  Marketing area deals with 10 fastest strategies to get started.  The “Advanced Marketing Strategies” include 14 strategies. (Several of these are tagged with “Coming Soon”.)  Training on system customization gives you what you need for making the system work for you.

Weekly Webinars are listed in the Training Centre also.  There are no dates and it looks like they have only had three of these webinars.  (This looks like it is not being updated lately.)

Personal Development Training – Will the system support my growth too?

The system provides guidance on “Developing a Marketing Plan”. Rod Moore does give strategic direction.  He also differentiates between tactical and strategic actions.  The system is always reinforcing building relationships.  Non of these trainings deal with personal development they go a long way at helping.

Setting of goals and setting expectations on the work involved to accomplish the goals are mentioned and suggested in the system. There is no personal goal tracking system other than the fact Rod Moore covers these “directional” type topics.  This fosters personal growth.

Overall Impression – So Jim, What do you think?

The system is simple, but very workable.  It is not cluttered with a lot of hype or complicated systems configurations.  There is power in this system simplicity.

Control over the landing pages is fantastically simple.  Tracing your integration with your leads.  Very strong.  No ability to export your list stinks.  Training is very strong.  All video training makes reference and reminders a little difficult.

The training is fairly basic and will likely never be extreme unless Rod brings in specialists.  This may appear to be a weakness.  Actually, by keeping the training simple and focused on the essentials there is less confusion and more ease in implementation.

I like this system. I like the way Rod Moore models and focuses on Attraction Marketing.  There are weaknesses like incomplete trainings, no video notes and Rod’s sometimes slow delivery when you are wanting more, now! (likely a personal problem for this investigator).

Freedom Duplicator at $37 per month this provides everything you need to use attraction marketing as a mechanism for building your Network Marketing Business.  The price is fair when compared to the $47 or $49 charged by other systems which are not as strong in the building a relationship support materials.

If a team determines to use this tool they will not be disappointed until they want exact step by step direction on a single path to success.  This system gives you multiple ways to get people to enter your relationship building funnel there is a chance you may get lost (Just too many sources).

The marketing plan and goals are useful at providing direction but not strong enough to drive you down a single path until you have achieved success.

With the recent addition of your own affiliate link customization and the ability to adjust the landing pages this system can serve all your needs.

Best of success,

Teach Jim
