Part 2 will give yourepparttar 122569 remaining eight.

Autoresponders come in two flavours, autoresponder and **AUTORESPONDER** If you only want to send information to a prospect once you can get by with an autoresponder. These versions are basic, no frills, getrepparttar 122570 job done, units. They are great for archiving articles, but a bit basic for a marketing campaign.

*****MLM*****Making Lotsa' Mistakes!

As a retired VP Marketing for a very successful Internetional MLM company, I am addressing concepts of MLM as they 'impact' you,repparttar new or inexperienced distributor.

Network (Multi-level) Marketing is exactlyrepparttar 122564 same as any business, anywhere, as it has a corporate center and top level, through to repparttar 122565 new recruit at entry level. BUT, there is a significant difference!

As withrepparttar 122566 age old computer phrase, 'Garbage in = garbage out" some MLM corporations have 'garbage' atrepparttar 122567 top or close torepparttar 122568 top and it is this 'garbage' that will destroy your business.

IF management has an attitude and/or does NOT recruit competence atrepparttar 122569 TOP what happens atrepparttar 122570 bottom? "Training" or what some MLM companies call 'training' must start withrepparttar 122571 top and work down. Top-incompetence therefore leads to bottom-incompetence 'unless' you 'learn-the-rules' and then 'learn-how-to- break-the-rules.

One rule that I witness over and over isrepparttar 122572 rule of "OUR WEBSITE IS GREAT - USE IT ONLY". Have any of you noticed how GREAT, 'their' website is?

Let me correct that statement! Have any of you analyzedrepparttar 122573 corporate website to determine whatrepparttar 122574 message is and how your "target prospect" receives that message?

What if you direct your prospect torepparttar 122575 corporate website and "they" promote themselves and not you?

How aboutrepparttar 122576 corporate office that does not understand "features" versus "benefits torepparttar 122577 consumer"?
