Home Based Businesses & The SpiderWeb Marketing System

Hello,
My name is Sheila McLendon. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, and I've been involved in my home business for 1 years in GDI.

Originally, I became involved in my home business because I loved the idea of flexibility, and enjoyed the comfort of working from home. I wanted to supplement my primary income and supplant my primary income. I desperately needed to do something other than my previous job, and a desire to be my own boss. I was also interested in entrepreneurship.
After getting established in my business, some things went well.

On the other hand, it was not exactly the dream I had hoped for. Despite the things I liked about it, I still experienced some frustrations because I have not had enough training. Company training was too expensive. My sponsor recruited me and then left me hanging. I didn't know enough people. I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone. My recruits kept quitting. My Friends and Family were not interested. I didn't know how to "sell"I couldn't stand cold calling and I didn't have enough leads.

In spite of my difficulties, I still tried my best to achieve the success that I was originally sold on. I worked hard to follow that promise of success that my sponsor told me about. I tried many of the traditional tactics employed in this industry, with less than ideal results. I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members and pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met. I gave away hundreds of dollars worth of samples and promotional materials. I went to the local mall and practiced "The 3 Foot Rule" (Attacked every person that came within 3 feet of me and pitched them on my business). I cold called people from the local phone book and I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems". I tried a different company, then another, then another. I passed out flyers, placed "Sizzle Cards" on gas station pumps and windshields amd I went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls. I did everything I had been taught to do, and worked my hardest at it, but the end result was less than I expected.

I decided I needed to try a different approach. I was frustrated with the results of my previous efforts. My upline was not very helpful. I was doing fine, but wanted to do better. I was desperate for a way to grow my business. I was tired of selling an arm and a leg to get leads. I felt ambitious and I wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach. After researching several different options, I decided to join the Spider Web Marketing System. I thought it was a good idea to become a part of the Spider Web Marketing System because I was excited to be able to generate my own endless stream real-time Home Based Business Targeted leads! I was excited to be able to generate 12+ streams of passive residual income and I wanted to learn exactly what it takes to leverage the power of the internet to grow my business. I was sick of all the hype filled e-books and training courses. I was excited to get the the Revolutionary Lead Generation System. I wanted to gain access to the 22+ step-by-step tutorial videos. It brings the most success with the least amount of work. I was excited to have real, interested leads. I was excited to never hunt leads again! It makes me money hands free. I was excited to find a system that actually does the work for me. I wanted to develop my own downlines. And, I wanted to escape my uplines. Their sales and marketing teams take care of my advertising account and close my sales for me.

Since joining, things have gone quite well and I am pleased with the results so far. I'm confident that the Spider Web Marketing System will help me achieve the success that I've always dreamed of because it is a brilliant business model that makes perfect sense. I am excited to gain solid leads. I researched thoroughly and know this is the best system. It has been wonderful so far, Kimball and his corporate staff have been very helpful.

I believe that success comes to those who are willing to work for it. I believe in working hard, and I believe in working smart. Since joining The Spider Web Marketing System, I have become more effective and more efficient in my business.

I originally became involved in my home business because I had a goal to gain financial freedom, gain time freedom, spend my time with my family, obtain economic independence, enjoy my time and my life-my way! The Spider Web Marketing System has helped me take a huge step closer to that goal.

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

Member: Sheila McLendon
Years in Industry: 1

In any business, the money has to come from somewhere. Whether it's from sales revenue or service charges or other transactions, the bitter business truth is that every dime in your pocket used to be in someone else's. It's not a bad thing. Just because you have money that used to be in someone else's possession doesn't mean that the former owner is now busting out the food stamps. Through however many transactions between however many parties, you received money, and they received either goods or services. And that's how an economy works.

On a less Macro scale, in the world of network and multi-level marketing this principle remains especially true and obvious. At the very core of your business, you make money through the sale of goods or services to someone. You yourself may never sell a thing and be living in a huge mansion, but odds are you're benefiting from the sale of something to someone. This system of making sales work for you is part of the appeal of MLM. Downlines. You benefit from the work of others. The more people you have in your downlines, the more profit you are making. Downlines make sales. You make money. End of story. But what's the name of the game?

Leads. The hottest commodity of MLM. If you've got 'em, you've got it. If not, you're going to be working really, really hard to pay for that huge mansion on door-to-door sales and Tupperware parties. If you can get downlines, you can get money. In order to have downlines, you need leads. In short, leads equal money.

And that's the MLM secret, which you already know, of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't make a fortune by yourself in this business. But just because you know that you need leads doesn't mean you can find them. And that's where so many MLM ventures fail. It is a commonly reported statistic that well over 90% of those involved in MLM never make a profit. But you can bet that a healthy supply of leads will keep in you in the successful ten percent.

There's a couple different ways to go about it. You can do what most MLMers do (and fail): make a list of your friends and family (sound familiar?), pass out 'business op' fliers, spend lots of money and have social functions, beg, plead, scream, pass out, wake up, continue. Eventually, the strenuous effort takes its toll on your health and you leave the industry to do something a little more docile and less stressful on your health, like substitute teaching in an alternative high school.

Personally, I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members and pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met. I gave away hundreds of dollars worth of samples and promotional materials. I went to the local mall and practiced "The 3 Foot Rule" (Attacked every person that came within 3 feet of me and pitched them on my business).

There is a better way. A way to channel leads to your business who come looking for it. The Spider Web Marketing System is a system designed to do one thing: generate leads. And it does so with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in the industry. It's based on what is called the funded proposal system, a system that utilizes highly developed Internet marketing strategies to bring interested, real leads. The best part of funded proposal, and the great appeal of The Spider Web Marketing System, is that it perpetuates itself, so that it keeps itself going and continues to generate income for you, while continually sending quality leads your way.

There are other ways to get leads. You can put down some serious cash for "lead lists" who will give you pages and pages of innocent people who have been called a hundred times, and you can work off of that. But with Spider Web Marketing, these are leads that come to you. They are "fresh leads," meaning that they have not been called before or come from any list. These are people, who using the Internet, seek out a business opportunity and come straight to you.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System has been great for me because it is a brilliant business model that makes perfect sense. I am excited to gain solid leads! I researched thoroughly and know this is the best system. It has been wonderful so far, Kimball and his corporate staff have been very helpful. Its helped me get more leads, grow my business, and make more money, and helped me on my goal to gain financial. Basically, The Spider Web Marketing System is a lead generating machine. And in a business where leads are the name of the game, that's a piece of equipment you can't afford to be without.

Back Office Makes Things Easy

Hey, Sheila McLendon with another exciting post about The SpiderWeb Marketing System! Right now, I want to tell you a little bit about an amazing tool that is put into your hands: The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office is an extremely useful and powerful part of the most effective program in the industry. As you establish yourself within The SpiderWeb Marketing System, you will become very familiar with the Back Office. It is a tool that we've created to help you be successful in this program, and a majority of your efforts in the system will be done through it.

If your experience has been anything like mine, you may have struggled a bit. I have not had enough training because Company training was too expensive. My sponsor recruited me and then left me hanging. I didn't know enough people and I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone. My recruits kept and I didn't know how to "sell". I couldn't stand cold calling and I didn't have enough leads. Perhaps, like me, you engaged in some of the classic, yet often futile techniques of MLM. I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members and pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met. I cold called people from the local phone book and I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems"! And I just didn't find the success I desired. But The SpiderWeb Marketing System overcomes those problems, in great measure by the Back Office.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office gives you something. It gives you a home base in the program. It makes the SpiderWeb System real to you: something you can see, use, and rely on. In so many other systems, you sign up, pay your fee, and end up floating out in MLM space trying to figure it all out, with nothing to ground you to the system. With the Back Office, you are actually in The SpiderWeb Marketing System. Its easy to get with the program when you are part of the program.

Its sole reason for existing is to make success easier for you. In the Back Office, you have access to The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series. Everything you need to know about how to operate effectively within The SpiderWeb Marketing System is available to you through The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series, which will walk you through every step to set up and maximize your system and bring the money in.

Another extremely useful tool is the Prospect Manager. This is the best way to keep track of everything that is happening within your program. You can find out the status of all prospects, where they came from, and what have been your most successful strategies for generating leads.

Among other features, you will also find a list of your referral links, website visitor tracker, task manager, and calendar, to mention a few. One of my favorite features is the SpiderZone forum, which I will discuss another time.

You won't find a system or Back Office that is this comprehensive in any program. As I have mentioned, we are committed to providing the very best marketing system in the industry, and that philosophy permeates through everything we do, including the Back Office. It is a powerful key that will help you open the door to the success you deserve.

You can quickly get your own Back Office, by signing up for the free system now. Check it out at http://www.TheSpiderWebSystem.com/smclendon.

Thanks!

MLM BBQ Nightmare!

Hey There, Sheila McLendon from Atlanta, Georgia again! Thanks for visiting my blog! Today I want to share with you a compelling story from Kimball Roundy, founder and inventor of The SpiderWeb Marketing System. It pretty much describes a lot of his struggles, and how he overcame them and established this awesome system. Personally, I can totally identify with the things he went through, which is part of the reason I feel so confident with his system. Here it goes, in his own words.

The Depressed but Blessed Monday

I will never forget the day I first stumbled across the concepts that started me down the path of research and development of the Spider Web Marketing System. It was early on a long depressing Monday morning that my life was changed forever. This Monday was depressing not only because I found myself back at my dead-end job yet again, but far worse because I had spent the previous three weeks preparing for the recruiting-event-to-end-all-recruiting-events. It was to be the most successful "meeting" that anyone had ever seen.

The Master Plan

I was certain that after this huge "opportunity" BBQ, everyone in my company was going to be coming to me to figure out what I had done to recruit so many people. I had my small downline buzzing with excitement about how we were all going to be able to kick back and watch the cash roll in after this event. Previous small casual BBQ's at my home had been somewhat effective and encouraging, so I was sure that this large gathering was going to be just that much more effective.

I spent well over $1,000 getting ready for the BBQ. I purchased enough hamburgers and hot dogs to feed a small army, as well as volleyball equipment, horseshoes, and badminton sets. I rented the largest park in town, a grill the size of my truck and everything else I could think of to make this an enjoyable and successful "meeting".

Then, with a bit of help from some of my top guys, I passed out between ten and fifteen thousand flyers. We talked to everyone we knew and everyone we met as we were preparing for the event. I literally only slept an hour or two each night for the entire week leading up to the BBQ.

Finally, the day arrived. There was a buzz of excitement running through my whole organization. Unfortunately, it would soon be smothered, along with the hearts of everyone who had worked so hard to help put this event together. So, out of the 20,000 people who had heard about the BBQ or got a flyer, the grand total that showed up was...76. Not quite the 5,000 I was hoping for or even the 500 I was willing to settle for--76.

To add salt to an already painful wound, out of those 76 I was able to pitch my opportunity to, there was a total signup of -24.

"How is that possible?" you ask.

Well, I had worked and overworked my entire team and placed way too much emphasis on how well things were going to work out and how easy it was going to be once we were done recruiting the masses that were inevitably going to show up. So, in the face of this massive failure, I lost any and all confidence that my team had in me as a leader. Within a few days, despite my best effort to retain them, I had lost them all.

So there I found myself -- broke, broken, depressed, forced to go back to a job which I had hoped never to return to and searching for any reason I could find to keep myself from giving up on my MLM dream.

Then I found it - the key, the concept, and the strategy with which to make it a reality (which had been hidden right under my nose for five years) that unlocked my mind from the chains that this industry had placed on me. This is the concept that would open my eyes to a new way of looking at this business and a way of seeing things that I had never before been shown.

That is his great story. I'll explain more about the secret that he mentions. Actually, the secret is in the huge system that I write about, and every entry explains more of this complex and comprehensive system.

I totally know what he went through, because I went through it too. When I first joined MLM, I struggled because I didn't know enough people and I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone! It was tough, but I did my best to be successful. I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family membersand I pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew.

Eventually I realized that I needed more help because I was frustrated with the results of my previous efforts and my upline was not very helpful. I was doing fine, but wanted to do better. I was desperate for a way to grow my business because I was tired of selling an arm and a leg to get leads! I felt ambitious and wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach.

However, using The SpiderWeb Marketing System, I have maximized my business potential and brought real leads, business, and money to me.

Now it will do all the hard work for you... Guaranteed!

Einstein's Theories on The Spider Web Marketing System

Sheila McLendon here again with a interesting post... at least I think so ;-)

Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I like to look at it as banging your head against a wall and expecting to make money for it. Doesn't usually work too well. There is apparently quite the debate amongst bloggers as to whether this was originally said by Benjamin Franklin, or Einstein, or someone else. Either way, its true. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is just not very smart any way you slice it.

The same thing applies to any business. The businesses that break the mold and do something new succeed. Those that continue with the status quo eventually are shown the Chapter 11 door. Horse carriage makers used to think that the whole automobile fad was just a phase that would pass. In a more modern example, huge, established airline companies are struggling while new, smaller companies are succeeding by focusing on low fares and customer satisfaction.

I know that is true, because when I first started in MLM, I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members and pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew. It wasn't quite as successful as I had hoped, to put it lightly.

The original businesses of network marketing began almost 100 years ago, with vitamin sales in the US. Since then, its has grown into an enormous and comprehensive industry with companies on all continents. (Yes, all continents. Somewhere, some scientist in Antarctica is pitching Xango or something like that to one of his coworkers. You know it) Obviously, the industry hasn't always remained the same, and success has favored the new and innovative. You shouldn't remain the same either.

MLM may have made you a millionaire. If so, stop reading and have a nice life. If not, you may be seeking a new way to break the mold of mediocrity and achieve that success that is captured by the few who possess the business courage and agility to do what it takes to get it.

Many people don't achieve the financial success that originally lured them into network marketing. They say, Hmm, I've been working really hard to sell product X, and its not working well. Ill just sell product Y in the exact same type of system using the exact same techniques, and hope it works out. Insanity. Inconceivable.

The key is to try a different approach. Thats why I joined The SpiderWeb Marketing System. There is a better way to increase your income than badgering everyone you come in contact with to buy your product or join your system. The Spider Web Marketing System offers a new and innovative approach that has brought success to thousands of clients. It leverages the power of the Internet by maximizing the effectiveness of major search engines to direct new, fresh leads to you in a more efficient manner than any other system can provide. Thats only a portion of what it can do for you. The point is this: The Spider Web Marketing uses a ground-breaking principle called the funded-proposal system to perpetuate itself and bring people to you. You become the sole recipient of leads who are actually looking for an entrepreneurial opportunity. Thats only one unique facet of the many things that The Spider Web Marketing System can do to develop home businesses.

I joined The SpiderWeb Marketing System because I was excited to be able to generate my own endless stream real-time Home Based Business Targeted leads. I was excited to be able to generate 12+ streams of passive residual income. I wanted to learn exactly what it takes to leverage the power of the internet to grow my business and I was sick of all the hype filled e-books and training courses. I was excited to get the the Revolutionary Lead Generation System and I wanted to gain access to the 22+ step-by-step tutorial videos. It brings the most success with the least amount of work! I was excited to have real, interested leads and was excited to never hunt leads again. It makes me money hands free! I was excited to find a system that actually does the work for me because I wanted to develop my downlines! Their sales and marketing teams take care of my advertising account and close my sales for me.

Throughout history, whether in war or exploration or business, success comes to those who pioneer a new approach, while those who don't are left banging their heads against a wall. Insanity. There are so many restrictions to your potential for success in MLM, and The Spider Web Marketing System is the innovative strategy to go beyond those restrictions. The Spider Web Marketing System breaks the MLM mold to bring prosperity to those who are willing to take a little more than just what they can get.

Finally, A True Funded Proposal

Finally, a TRUE Funded Proposal Prospecting System

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. My name is Sheila McLendon and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I have been in the industry for 1 year. I want to take this entry to explain something very important: the funded proposal system. This is an integral building block of The SpiderWeb Marketing System, yet few people truly understand it. For my entry, I want to take an explanation written by the founder and inventor of The SpiderWeb Marketing System, and insert it into my blog. Hopefully it will bring you increased understanding, as it has to me. It's a little long, but stick with it, as it will explain things very well.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System is a Revolutionary new Funded Proposal MLM Prospecting system which was developed by Kimball Roundy. It is designed to help Network Marketers in their business building efforts. The System Maximizes the power and reach of the Internet to bring targeted Network Marketing Prospects right to your door who are eager to get signed up with you, and instead of paying to generate or buy these leads, they end up PAYING YOU to become leads. In essence, instead of chasing people for your business, they start chasing and paying you to be considered as a prospect to join you. It is a pretty sweet concept and it works like a charm! IF you have the time to learn it and implement the system. What do you mean by "a Funded Proposal Prospecting System?" The basic (very simplified) idea behind a "Funded Proposal" prospecting system is this:

You use a website or system (as an "affiliate" usually with a specific affiliate referral tracking link) that is set up to generate MLM Targeted Leads by advertising "help" and or "training" that will help the person seeking the help (the LEAD) with generating leads for their primary business.

For example, you find someone searching Google or Yahoo who is looking for "MLM Leads" or "Network Marketing Leads" and show an ad to them that says essentially:

"Quit Wasting Your Time and Money on MLM Leads! Let Me Show you how to Generate your own, and get Paid by Each one of Them Whether or not They Join Your Business!"

If you were spending hundreds of dollars and hours and hours (maybe you are, if so, pay attention) buying and then contacting hundreds of leads, wouldn't the above idea appeal to you?

So, with this system you are advertising help or training, and in exchange for a free newsletter or basic e-book they give you their contact information (LEAD). This newsletter will usually tell them "WHAT" to do but not show them "HOW" to do it. Then, through reading the free newsletters or e-books or watching the free videos etc they are introduced to some product that they can buy (usually the Full details and step by step training on HOW to do what they just told you to do) and if the person who signed up for the info decides to purchase the product then you as the affiliate who referred them will make a commission. So, essentially what will happen is you, will be looking for a way to grow your business, you will find one of these sites and sign up for the free info (You are someone else's lead) then you decide you want to get the whole story, buy the product (book, e-book etc.) and the person who referred you makes $20 or $50 or whatever the commission amount for the book sale is.

So, that is how a Funded Proposal is designed to work.

You sign up
Then you Set up the system by following the videos

The system manages all your Marketing for you
You get leads

You generate up to 12 streams of Passive Residual Income before/without ever talking to a single prospect or spending a DIME

AND THEN YOU GET PAID!
You contact and build a relationship with your new, unique to you, real-time Network Marketing Targeted leads
Your business grows bigger, faster than with any other system, period.
Oh, and it is 100% FREE!

With the innovative 12 streams of income that they will generate for you before any product, service book or company is sold, it is THE FIRST TRUE "FUNDED PROPOSAL" where you get paid for your marketing before the lead has ever been contacted by anyone or sold anything!

I know, I have not explained that part, you are just going to have to head over and check it out to find out exactly how it works. Check it all out at http://www.TheSpiderWebSystem.com/smclendon.

Five Characteristics of Success in MLM, Part Deux

I'm excited for this blog entry, and I hope you are too. In the last entry, I talked about five characteristics I've seen in my experience that have led people to real success in the network marketing industry. In my opinion, you cannot be successful without them. With them, however, you are in a strong position to achieve your aspirations in this industry.

I want to explain to you how The SpiderWeb Marketing System holds to these characteristics and will help you develop them yourself.

1. They used their own products or services and could explain why you should use them.

This is an easy one. Its easy to sell a product when you use it yourself. A personal guarantee based on experience is a powerful tool. As you use The SpiderWeb Marketing System, you'll see the success, and as you tell others about it, they'll see your success and want to be a part of it as well.

2. They had a reason for doing the business and a business plan.

There are more reasons to do business other than just to make money, right now. While SpiderWeb will make money for you right now, it can also be viewed as an investment, with immediate, and long-term returns. The business network that you build with people with similar goals in mind will benefit you for many years.

3. They let the tools do the selling.

Let us do the work. This system has been created to sell itself for you. The tools are in place to advertise, market, and sell this system, all with no extra effort on your part. Some things really are simple.

4. They were always learning more about the business.

I think this holds true in all aspects of life. Those who stay on top of things, always ready to adapt to the different challenges and changes that come their way, are the ones who make it. At SpiderWeb Marketing, we are daily seeking ways to improve. In fact, we never stop getting better. We've got the best product on the market, and we'll always strive to make it even better.

5. They stayed in the game long enough to have a chance to succeed.

Patience is a virtue in any business. Think of the exponential growth model, which is shaped like a J. It starts out slow, when patience is required, then all of a sudden, boom! Exponential growth. That's how a network operates. From personal experience, I can tell you that the longer you are involved, the broader and more expansive your network will become, until soon you have cash coming in from the farthest reaches of the universe.

I"m convinced that there are keys to success in life. Five of those keys are listed above. For some, they come naturally. For others, they have to be developed. Either way, they work. They just need a vehicle to turn attributes into assets. The SpiderWeb Marketing System is the way to develop those critical attributes and find the success that you work so hard for.

Perhaps you joined MLM for some of the same reasons that I did. I loved the idea of flexibility and I was excited by the comfort of working from home. I wanted to supplement my primary income and I desperately needed to do something other than my previous job. Either way, however, the point is that I know that through The SpiderWeb Marketing System I can accomplish my goals to gain financial freedom and economic independence!
