Looking for a Company which Has it All - including Leads!

[HomeBizHope]

Hi there! I've been a lurker on here for quite awhile and wanted to finally ask a serious question.

I've been in networking businesses over the years which all relied on warm market contacts. I live in a very rural, conservative area which has severely limited my success by only being able to contact the people I know! Advertising efforts have also failed. :-( I wondered if there are any networking (or other) companies that provide leads to their reps? (Or uplines within certain companies which provide leads to their downlines to work?)

I wanted to see if there are other ways to go about making money in networking without placing ads or talking to friends? I have a lot of enthusiasm if I believe in a product or service, and don't mind talking on the phone to strangers. I've been told I have an excellent phone manner.

I would love to find a stable company which has residual income, reasonable start-up costs, and fantastic consumable products to boot! I also want to be able to have a "story" to tell my prospects - that I was able to sponsor X number of people or make my money back in a month, etc.

Is this a pipe dream?!? I have looked at a LOT of companies, but if you think you have a company with "no more advertising, calling names from a phonebook or warm-marketing," I want to take a serious look at what it is!!!

Please feel free to respond to me by email or PM with details. (I LOVE details!)

Thanks for your help in finding me the perfect business!!!

God bless, Lori

I don't know of any companies that give you leads. I do understand where you are coming from though. I live in a rural conservative area. I don't do any local advertising..or talk to friends about my business. I do very well marketing online though. I hope you find what you are looking for

Thirty One Gifts gives us leads that ome in to them through the website! Whether it be party leads, business leads, etc!

Beachbody will give you leads from their infomercials and Internet inquiries after you have recruited 2 people.

I agree, I get at least 3-5 leads a day and haven't needed to "recruit" anyone. Heck, just today I gave each of my team members a lead (people who want catalogs, more information etc).

I did hear that Jamberry Nails is soon to implement a lead system but I believe it may be based on your rank. So, I'll keep people posted on that. We're still in pre-launch so everything is so brand spanking new.

But yea, generating your own leads is the best leads ever! Lol.

Good luck on your search!!

Thanks for all of your responses so far! If anyone else would like to add their businesses, I would love to look at them also.

It doesn't really seem that many companies offer leads directly to their reps. Some of you mentioned that you generate leads on your own. Can you share how this is done in a nutshell? I've heard of pulling marketer's names/numbers off of Google, etc. or placing many ads every day on free sites, but is there a better way? Would love to hear about other ways you promote your business even if it's not company provided - I don't care how it's done, I just want to find a system that works without parties or warm markets!
