Hi everyone. Frank Tocco here.
People in a network marketing business usually lose enthusiasm building their business because they either:
(1) Run out of leads
(2) Run out of money while trying to generate more leads.
A common problem with struggling marketers is paying for leads that are not responsive to the offer the marketer is promoting. Frustrated, the marketer gives up.
So, how do you generate responsive leads without going broke? Why, you get them to pay you of course. This is called a funded proposal system. In other words you get PAID to generate leads regardless if they join your network marketing company or not. It’s very simple.
What network marketers want is more leads, and more cash. A funded proposal system teaches network marketing prospects how to generate more leads and more cash - exactly what all network marketers want to learn all about.
People who use a funded proposal system are able to build a relationship with other network marketers - people already SOLD on the idea of network marketing and looking for a leader to follow.
Effective funded proposals position the marketer as a leader who provides solutions to a problem, in front of people who already have a need, a desire, and are actively looking for a solution to their problem. This targets a generic network marketing crowd.
This is a business about marketing pursued by people who have never marketed anything before. They need help by someone that knows what they are doing and will hold them by the hand to show them how it is done. The alternative would be for the networker to learn by trail and error, a very costly and frustrating course to take. With this in mind, a highly effective funded proposal would do well to attract network marketers if it teaches how to market products and generate leads.
Someone who has invested the time, money and effort to learn how to generate quality targeted leads has information that is of great value to someone just starting out in MLM and needs new leads to grow their business. Leads cost money unless the method used to generate leads also generates money. This is where the FUNDED part of a funded proposal comes in.
Your funded proposal needs to have three parts.
(1) A low-cost high volume retail product for under $50 that pays for your advertising and generates a constant source of MLM leads for you.
(2) A medium to high cost backend product that pays your bills and makes you money.
(3) A network marketing opportunity that creates long term, exponential, residual income and grows your downline organization.
You see, the average person can not afford to pay for the costs of marketing their business while they learn to build it, eventually spending themselves out of business with advertising costs before their business has a chance to grow into a profit. A funded proposal generates the needed cash flow to keep the expenses of advertising going until the business pays for itself.
Most people just advertise their network marketing business or website and hope someone joins, while a true leader solves peoples problems. People will always pay for solutions and convenience. So a good funded proposal makes network marketers lives easier or offers a solution to their most pressing challenges.
If they are willing to invest in your program (even if they do not join your network marketing company ), the system pays you a commission based on the sale. So not only are you getting great targeted leads of people interested in what you have to offer but, you get a generous income as well.

Hi, my name is Michelle and I just signed up here. I signed up for one of those funded proposal systems. What I want to know is if those systems really work or not. I am still going through the training videos and texts. And if they really do work, about how long does it usually take to start seeing results? Thanks.

Hi Michele and welcome to MLMforums. I'm sure you'll find lot's of good MLM business building tips and information here and people willing to help.
In response to your question if funded proposals really work...
Simply put...Yes they do.
They work and all you need to do is provide the advertising. That's the one thing that funded proposals, like all offers, need.
I'm using someone else's funded proposal in a box called Magnetic Sponsoring by Michael Dillard because it's really well put together and explains how to do it right. This way I can concentrate on advertising.
Now keep this in mind though... if you tried signing up for a funded proposal before, did you advertise it? If so, how?
In placing ads it is very important to put your ads in highly targeted places so the right people see it. People interested in generating leads for their business and MLM or network marketers. Or whatever your business is about, you have to target your advertising to that group. Give them something that they want and need.
Once you get the word out, don't quit after one ad. Continue advertising and tracking the results so you know which ads are getting results and which ads are not.
Now Magnetic Sponsoring is not the first funded proposal that I've tried, and I have a large list of targeted leads already that I have built over the years, But when I started Magnetic Sponsoring I saw results in 10 days. However, if you have a budget to advertise to begin with and you place the ads in targeted spots, you could see results in 1 day!
You may think that paying for advertising defeats the purpose of generating targeted free leads, but you cannot start something without some kind of action.
Think of it like a garden hose. There is a source of water and you want it to flow to you. First you have to locate the source, then you have to hook up the hose and then you must turn it on FIRST, before the water flows to where you want it to go.
So when we pay for advertising, we are hooking up and turning on the hose that starts a flood of quality targeted leads flowing our way. (Now trust me on this, it sure makes life easier when they come to you.) Once those leads buy some of the products in your funded proposal and you get paid, then you re-direct the money into your advertising so you are no longer paying for ads. In fact, I'm making about $200 a week all of it going right back into advertising...and, the leads are calling me!
So, which one did you try?
Did you advertise and if so, how long and where?
I'm sincerely interested in helping you or anyone learn how to use funded proposals the right way. It makes building your MLM business so much easier and keeps you from going broke in the process.
If this helps or you have more questions just ask.
Sincerely,
Frank Tocco

| I have been doing the training in "pay it forward 4 profits" and in "Spider web marketing system". I just signed up for both of those last week. I finally got my adsense account approved and went through the training video for setting up ads that way, but then I got to where it said you had to pay a deposit of 5.00 and then found out my bank account is negative. So now I have to wait until I get that taken care of before I can bring those ads online. Do you know of any free to post sites where I can put my ads?

Hi Michell,
I tried PayItForward4Profits when I first started in MLM online but that's not the kind of funded proposal I'm talking about. A funded proposal should put money in your pocket NOW, not after you build a downline.
There's countless free advertising sites online but I don't use them because I have never got any amazing results from them. I guess you get what you pay for. I'm not saying free ads don't work but in my experience it would take so long to get results that most people would quit first. You're much better off paying for targeted advertising to people that want what you have to offer, something that solves their immediate problem or biggest challenge.
Your funded proposal needs to have three parts.
(1) A low-cost high volume retail product for under $50 that pays for your advertising and generates a constant source of MLM leads for you.
(2) A medium to high cost back-end product that pays your bills and makes you money.
(3) A network marketing opportunity that creates long term, exponential, residual income and grows your downline organization.
You see, the average person can not afford to pay for the costs of marketing their business while they learn to build it, eventually spending themselves out of business with advertising costs before their business has a chance to grow into a profit. A funded proposal generates the needed cash flow to keep the expenses of advertising going until the business pays for itself.
Most people just advertise their network marketing business or website and hope someone joins, while a true leader solves peoples problems. People will always pay for solutions and convenience. So a good funded proposal makes network marketers lives easier or offers a solution to their most pressing challenges.
Paul Birdsall is a leader with his PayItForward4Profits for sure, but there are much more simple funded proposal programs available that pay NOW! I like that part.
Once leads start to pour in, you can gradually introduce people to your primary business. In fact, some will ask you to send them your link and when that happens, the chance of them staying the course in your business is much more likely.
I'll find some free advertising websites for you if you want. http://www.craigslist.com is one I can think of right off the top of my head. Just remember, Network Marketing is about marketing, so eventually we have to learn how to truly market to be successful.
Here's a great FREE resource for you to get additional low-cost tips on generating website traffic and leads. Tocco

I have used both magnetic sponsoring and the renegade network marketer. I much prefer magnetic sponosoring. For me personally, they have given me more an extra source of income and great training rather than new team members.

Hi,
Magnetic Sponsoring is great. It's more then paying for my expenses and the training is incredible. I also like the forum, blog and article marketing parts of their website. I've been posting articles and it's getting ranked in Google, MSN and Yahoo seach engines. All in all a very powerful website for learning how to market yourself and your MLM opportunity.
Could you tell me a little bit about Renegade Marketer?

Funded Proposals are part of the answer, but not a solution by themselves. What you do with your leads once you generate them is what really matters.
There are over 6 different types of leads you can generate. Which types should you pursue?
How do you market your business to them?
How do you market your product to them?
How to you get them to pursue you?
How do you monetize them if they don't join your business?
Do you email them, call them, or mail a letter? How often?
How do you automate this process?
What should your emails, calls, or letters say? What should the headline be?
What should you ask them to do next?
How long should you keep in touch with them?
As you can see, simply "generating leads" is not the end-all solution to the business building process which is what makes MLM Traffic Formula the only course of it's kind ever made available for the network marketing industry. There are in fact, three different phases to "The Formula"...
Phase I: How to build a 7-figure business that's immune to attrition and competition.
Phase II: How to generate massive online traffic using blogs, Google Adwords, search engines, articles, press-releases, and CPA networks - And then turn that traffic into live, exclusive leads for you and your business.
Phase III: How to monetize your leads and make up to $60,318 or more, in less than 72 hours from all of the people who said "No" to your opportunity.
With That Said, Welcome To The "Big Leagues" My Friend...
Traveling this journey with you...

I would say that funded proposals do work. However, they can't be set on auto pilot. You can promote them, but the key is HUMAN interaction. What do you do with your leads when you get them?
Calling people can have a huge impact on your funded proposal. It will greatly increase our conversion on them.

What to do with your leads?
Ok, you've generated some leads... now what?
Well some may think you need to call those leads and pitch their opportunity, but this is not the case.
Remember, nobody like to be sold. Leads generated through a funded proposal system are great if you approach them the right way. What do we mean by that?
Well you just don't call them and immediately start vomiting your business opportunity on them. You want to help them.
Call them and introduce yourself. See how you can HELP them. See if they have any questions. Be a leader and help them with their current situation.
You're probably wondering, "How is this going to help me sponsor more people?"
Would you rather sponsor 10,000 people who have no idea how to build a network marketing company or 10 people who have gotten results and know what the industry is about?
Of course, the 10 people who know how to work a business.
Here is why this is important.
The leads generated through the right funded proposal system will already know about network marketing and may have had some success in the past.
These people make the best prospects, but if you call them and pitch them, you lost them.
Network Marketing is all about relationships, and that's why it is important to call and introduce yourself to se how you can HELP them, not pitch them.
Position yourself as someone that can help and is willing to help, not just another person trying to get into their wallet.
This process takes longer, but you will ONLY sponsor people who are quality over quantity.

I am currently using a funded proposal system and they work great, but like I just put on my last post, this is a numbers game, you still have to get people to see you, but it is not hard, it is just being consistant.
A lot of people find funded proposal systems and think "this is it" I am going to make money on the front end and the back end, just to realize they have to still work just as hard.
I love network marketing, direct sales, internet marketing, because it is so easy, but I think a lot of people make it harder then it really is, it is just doing a few easy steps everyday, and not giving up.

When you search the internet these days, you are bombarded with many online lead generation systems out there and I wonder who else hasn't heard about "funded proposal". As a beginner in internet network marketing, I would like to know more about this group of people who have yet to hear about online lead generation system and how to effectively reach them.
Can you please share your ideas/info.
Thank you.
Jose

Hi Jose,
Yes funded proposals actually work and more importantly they create a very responsive lead.
I have tried buying leads in the past and worked the phone cold-calling them and even though people joined my business it was not duplicatable. I am in sales professionaly and still had a very low conversion rate.
Funded proposals on the other hand has created a very targeted and responsive lead that actually calls me with questions about my business. What a welcome change! The other benefit is it pays for your advertising costs if done correctly and that means it is self-sustaining.
There are many funded proposal programs out there and if you need help deciding which one is right for you contact me and I would be glad to point you in the right direction.
To YOUR Success,

Yes, (as I am sure everone else has posted) The Funded Proposal programs Make So Much Sense! If you take a few minutes, sit down and think about how you would like to be presented with information about the steps needed to do something (anything!) you will find that those steps are exactly what any properly designed Funded Proposal is (& does).
There are a number of good ones out there, there are some "me-toos" and there are some that are NOT really what they advertize..
Be cautious and look at everything first!

Hi Guys,
Thought I would chime in here...I think that one of the benefits that you should look for in programs that offer the "funded proposal" strategy is...You want to find one that let's you brand Yourself.
I have seen that some of these companies that offer the "funded proposals" only do so to in order for you to promote their company name and not yourself. There is a big difference. One is that if you are promoting that company name or the person affiliated with the program...Who do you think will reap the the benefits of your advertising or promoting? That's right, Them! You want to be seen as the expert! So, if the company goes belly up or you decide that you no longer want to continue with the program...What happens to the list that you worked so hard for?
In my opinion, which is just that...You want to own that list so you may establish a relationship with them and help them whether or not they join your opportunity or not. They will see your value to them and be more open to the opportunities that you offer. You do no selling or calling. They will call you! And they make the choice of joining You. Can't be any easier than that, can it?

Funded Propasls do work..
I personally prefer using the renegade.. But in all goodness, it depends the person dealing with this prospect. Especially if you have been using the old system of hype and pressure..
It took me along time to be able to use the consultative approach. Once your focus is on truly helping people, you wont go wrong. And even if you dont sponsor them in your primary opportunity, you will direct them to other wonderful resources..win win for everybody.
Blessings

I am very new to online and have received/joined the renegade network marketer and I am confused as to how to transition to my original opportunity.
For those who are using the Renegade do you feel like you are advertising more for the Renegade opportunity vs. your own opp.? How well has this been working for you?
Thanks

Hey,
To me it works very well. Some poeple who buy the renegade are looking for an opportunity, others are looking for ways to improve their business, others are looking for a strong team...
Personally what I do, I send a card to thank them for buying the book. I let them know that I am available if they need my help. You can as well call them or send an e-mail. Your agenda should not be to recruit them in your primary.. It should be to find their need and see if they need to join your opportunity or if they should just use any of the backend tools... Win Win for everybody.
This audio should help: http://www.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/nascar/
All the best
