How a Low Cost Lead Generation Program Jump-Started My Business
After exploring options on how I can generate additional income, I decided to join the world of network marketing. During my first training meeting a week ago, I was taught the traditional method of recruiting new sponsors like talking to my friends and family, and making a list of 100 warm contacts. With my previous recruitment background, I’m quite comfortable with this method, but I knew that I would eventually run out of warm contacts.
I knew that online marketing was an effective method to expand my network beyond what traditional or old school methods could accomplish. I researched a few low cost lead generation programs, and I managed to find an effective one through a referral. Through this program, I learned the value of attraction marketing. You have to build relationships with network marketers and add value in any way you can, instead of trying to sell a program to them. I knew I would struggle at some point generating leads, so I decided to sign up for this lead generation program and receive training early on.
Within a few days, I learned so many ways on how to market myself, from content/article marketing, social media, blogging and video marketing. Although it was a low cost lead generation program, I found value right away as measured by my increased marketing knowledge. I probably would have spent a few thousand dollars at my local college if I enrolled in a similar program and gained the same amount of knowledge and skills. By implementing the techniques they described, I was able to generate close to several new leads within a few days, and this is with no network marketing or online marketing experience. I know this number will grow exponentially over the next few weeks if I continue using the techniques.
I will continue using this program, and report on my progress to let you know how it goes. I’m lucky enough to have a good company with strong field leadership and mentorship. All I need to do is cast my net as wide as possible, build relationships with people, offer advice, and in time, after I have gained their trust, introduce them to my primary opportunity. The rest will take care of itself.
I know this low cost lead generation program will help me reach my goals, and put me ahead of the game. The best thing is that my mind is programmed to think “how can I add value to people”, or help in any way without expecting anything in return. Hope you can join me on this journey as I become more involved in network marketing.

No fee biz banking
- I miss Bizsmart - it was a great no fee banking option for businesses but I guess the company wasn't making much returns and had to shut down.
Are there any other no fee or Low Cost Business banking options still available in Canada?
Re: How to develop sales contacts?
- Everyone has the right idea here. Depending on your business, there are different techniques that you could use. For consultants and sales heavy businesses, there are three tactics that I have found especially useful in my business:
1. Attend Networking Events
2. Cold Calling
3. Referral Program
4. Affiliate Program (most successful)
The affiliate program was successful for me, as I hooked up with a franchise consultant, and he gave multiple unit businesses that needed my credit card processing services. I highly suggest you hook up with a sales partner, and give him a cut of the monthly revenue.

Re: Traditonal Demographics Do NOT Work with Generation V
- That article is the first time I ever heard the term. I found this definition -
[i:189o61sy]The term Generation V (for Virtual) is used to describe the online culture in which relationships, services and communication are carried primarily and preferably through electronic media. Generation Virtual is made up of people from multiple demographic age groups who make their social connections primarily online - through virtual worlds in online games, in social networks, as bloggers, or through posting and reading user-generated content.[/i:189o61sy]
I like the targeting options the internet offers much better than the typical demographics. Age is particular is not nearly as effective in finding a target market unless you want to target kids. Too many of the typical demographics rely on stereotypes and just seems outdated for many types of promotion. That's one of the reasons this article title caught my eye.
