Hi


I wanted to ask questions about building Arbonne Busines Online?


I have been using some leads, any suggestions?


I have been using Lead Power MOm leads (they are ok) and www.amazingleads.net (http://www.amazingleads.net) They have specific female leads and area code specific.


If you have any luck with other methods let me know

Hi Tatyana~


A couple things that I would suggest:


1-ask people in your upline for suggestions. I know that is basic...


2-Get a website. I think it isabsolutely necessary to have a personal Arbonne website if you want to establish some type of credibility with the on-line community. I do most of my business on-line and have been successful so farand I must say that I attribute a lot to havinga website.


Hope that helps some!

It is difficult to build an Arbonne business online. Arbonne is more of a person to person business. I am curious to hear how it goes for you online. Good luck.

Tatyana,


What kind of luck have you had with the leads you've used? It would be interesting to get a perspective on that.

Hello


I wanted to answer questions about leads. I used Lead Power Leads Moms Leads. They are ok. They are not expensive but they are not the best. SOme women fill out few forms online and when you call them they sometimes do not remember or they are looking for work. Melaleuca people order them.I tried and they are not the best to be honest.


Amazingleads.net are pricy but they are good. It is all about the budget.


I have used leads for my business in the past. I used MLM lead genie leads women specific and real time leads. I like real time leads. Also Ultimatenetprofitleads.com I believe have women leads and the owner told me that BeautyControl consultants buy them I do not of course if it is true.


There is a man by the name Carl Sorenson. He makes lead capture pages for many companies. I have a lead capture page that was built by him. They are nice but could be better. He has a lead capture page for Arbonne. It can be used in the email blasts or online targeted marketing. His site: www.ezleadcapture.com (http://www.ezleadcapture.com)


I think Arbonne can be done online. People build Melaleuca online. Herbalife is built online. I believe in the combination of everything.


Personal meetings and leaving RE9 sets is a good thing. The reason I wanted to learn about online marketing is because I am from Russia and I do not know many people here. I do know few but I have two little kids and it is hard for me to get out in the evenings.


I have heard people used Gold Calling for business because you can choose leads by gender and demographics and contact them.


Anyway, any suggestions will be appreciated

Tatyana,


You might want to check out the Network Marketing board for more information about Gold Calling. It seemsa littlecontroversial. Also, make sure you read your policy manual about marketing Arbonne online. I know some people have been "surprised" because they wanted to build their business online but weren't aware of the guidelines we need to follow in doing so.


Wishing you much success!

Hi Tatyana,


Thank you for the plug. I am curious though...


"There is a man by the name Carl Sorenson. He makes lead capture pages for many companies. I have a lead capture page that was built by him. They are nice but could be better. He has a lead capture page for Arbonne. It can be used in the email blasts or online targeted marketing. His site: www.ezleadcapture.com (http://www.ezleadcapture.com/)"


They are nice but could be better? Please do explain how I could make them better. I am always open to new ideas even though the designs and methods I use have generated thousands upon thousands of leads for my clients.


Important... These pages CANNOT be used for email blasts. There are a FEW companies I will allow clients to use for email campaigns and that is it.


When promoting via email it's absolutely critical that you are dealing with a reputable lead retailer or the lead generator themselves.


Even then... I would be extremely careful promoting your business opportunity via email. There are more responsive methods of advertising that won't get you into trouble.

I do not want youto take it wrong. I meant for Arbonne. I love your lead capture pages and you do a greatjob and you arealways helpful.It is not very specific for Arbonne in my opinion.May be it should be moreorientedfor stay at home moms? Because 80% of consultants are women.I think we need to put some testimonials. I know we cannot use Arbonne words on the lead capture page but could be generic testimonies.


Carl, how do you recommend to advertise Arbonne then?


When I talked about emarketing, I meant just sending a generic email blast with one company and it does not talk about Arbonne. Then if the person opens it it will take to another page which lead capture page. After they do it it will take them to my personal website which is myarbonne.com ( I do not have it but plan to get this week)


I would appreciate any suggestions.

Tatyana-


Keep in mind that any "advertising" that you do, should be approved by Arbonne prior to doing so.


I am not sure what kind of advertising you are going to do, but that is something to keep in mind.

Ok, I just keep seeing this, be careful, get permission, etc....Why would you need to get permission from Arbonne to use a lead capture page? I have read the manual. You can not mention the name arbonne, or any of the product names in a website. In pay per clicks, you can not use the name arbonne or any of the product names, although you can say skin care, wellness, cosmeticts, etc. You can not sell online except from a myarbonne website. You can not place an ad with their names in it, or post an ad or banner that links to a myarbonne site unless it is approved. I understand all that. But, a lead capture page is simply that. It doesnt mention any company. I am building one myself. It basically says, if you would like more information about a home business, fill out this form. They put name, email, and phone number. Then I can call them. Why would I need permission from arbonne for this? The site could be used for 1000's of different businesses. So I guess Im having a hard time seeing how this would violate Arbonnes terms. Anyone please explain?

Hi FunnyGirl,


In most cases you are totally correct. Where companies can start to get p'od is when you are using their name, and product names on the lead capture page. That's a no no.


You can however word you capture page to sell the benefits and features of any one particular home based business and the result will be a somewhat company specific lead.


Another way to do it is to take the personal approach and make the lead capture page about YOU.


Have your picture, a short audio and let people know you've found a business you believe in. If they want more information they know what to do.


Going this route will bring your lead quality through the stratosphere these people will KNOW who you are BEFORE you call them.


That can be a powerful position to be in!

Has anyone else had luck with leads? I'm very interested because for the next month or so it's going to be tough for me to get out much. I'm dealing with some family health issues but I'd be able to access the computer and phone throughout the day.


I've been very skeptical about leads. I know we generally get people to sign up because they trust, like and/or respect us (or they're grown to do so!). So, I'm very interested in hearing from others (or Tatyana, if you have additional info) in terms of what specifically to look for when purchasing leads.

Saint,


I advise to make sure leads are generated via work at home form. They cannot be generated with the incentive. Incentives are when they offer you freebie and then you have to fillout the survey.


My advice to get a lead capture page and arbonne site. Get a lead capture page that is personal like Carl said. Then make them go through two steps process. Lead capture, personal site and then follow up.


I have found a great tool questainare that you can ad to the site. It will open up the prospect.


http://www.fortunenow.com/fortunenow/fnsample1.pdf


It is great.


I recommend to use www.amazingleads.net (http://www.amazingleads.net)


It is the company www.peakimpact.com (http://www.peakimpact.com) They are very good company and the website above for their leads

Tatyana,


Thanks for the info. Could you share some more specifics about yor success withthe leads (i.e. have people signed on because of it)? What kind of response rate have you had (e.g. 1 out of 100 sign up or whatever the ratio)?


And....can the leads from "amazingleads.net be purchased without having a lead capture page attached to a website?


You also mentioned an incentive. What's an example of an incentive?


I'm really struggling with the notion of this as so much ofourbusiness comes from having personal repoire with people.As a result, Idon't have much experience doing this online so I have lots of questions.....

Yes Tatyana,


I would also like to know how it's working and if you've tried anything else, ie. business opp ads in the paper, flyers in neighborhoods, etc. My network is also slim pickins, but I do believe in NWM and in Arbonne, it just might take me a little longer. Thanks for all your input!smileys/smiley20.gif

Hello ladies


I used the leads for my travel business. it is usually one of 20 purchased the packge. But the travel business I have is over 1200 dollars. Also keep in mind the women like to talk more and build friendhships/ I advise to get older leads. www.mlmexclusiveleads.com (http://www.mlmexclusiveleads.com) are good so far. Not high and you can through them practicing first.


For training on cold calling I advise www.danijohnson.com (http://www.danijohnson.com) and Big Al whose site; www.fortunenow.com (http://www.fortunenow.com)


Big AL is awesome.


I am going to contact Peak Impact and Ultimate Net profits./ They have specific women leads. I am going to talk to them about the coop for us. They will let us test for free first to see the results and conversion rate.


Also www.mlmleadgenieleads.com (http://www.mlmleadgenieleads.com) has real time lead and you can get health and wellness specific. IT might be a good thing. Let me do my research and I shall get back.


Lead capture page is not neccessary. It just capture their information. It will help to know if they went to lead capture and then redirected to the My Arbonne site. The personal lead capture might have information about you, the general information about the product and why people work at home. I have seen the movie that you can get to put to lead capture page that talks about residual income and MLM industry since some people had bad experience. It just should show the benefits of the home business and welness industrry. Then when people who never worked at home have better understanding. The questionaire that I gave on the link is inside the newsletter. It is only 3 questions. IT will help you to open up prospects when you talk to them or give in one to one presentation before you talk about the business.


Just thoughts.


Tatyana
