What to Look for in Internet Tools to Help You Succeed!

If you're in network marketing and you are building your business on the Internet, you've undoubtedly come across many of the "generic" presentation sites that run about $20-$30 a month. Some, on the surface, look great and some are downright awful... but how do you really know how effective they will be in the long run in helping your build a successful business online?

After doing some research and testing, I've found that you need to look for sites with the following:
An Effective Presentation This is first and foremost, because if the presentation does not sift and sort through the tire-kickers, looky-loos, and negative people who only bring you down, you may as well start cold calling. The presentation should be professional (no misspelled words, blatant incorrect grammar or punctuation) as well as eye-catching and quick to load.
An Effective Questionnaire This is the second sift and sort phase, and it's vital to your business. By the time someone has completed your questionnaire and it is emailed to you, you should only have the very "best of the best" prospects -- with their vital information. Like their name, email address, mailing address, phone number, time zone, best time to reach them, how much they are willing to invest in the business, why they would be a good candidate for your business, etc.
A Powerful Back-end System Some of the tools that should be included are: automated follow up (why pay someone else for an Autoresponder when it can, and should be, built into the system?), Internet marketing training (that can be used and understood by novice and experienced Internet marketers alike), complete training (not only for the system itself, but in how to follow up with prospects, to finding prospects to send to your site and more.) The back-end system is where your duplication comes in. Because you not only need the site to present your business for you, you need the back-end to teach you (and your downline) how to get interested prospects there in the first place! So if one of your brand new people can use it effectively, you've got the right tool. There are many of these sites available. Most cost around $20-$30 per month, but you have to do your research and see what you're really getting for that money. Some have "affiliate programs" where you can actually earn commissions for referring the sites to other networkers, others do not. Some of the more popular versions include:

http://www.homebusiness.to

http://www.helphenry.com
This list is not all-inclusive, but gives you a general idea of the tools that are available to you. So if you're looking for a site that does your presentations, follow up, training (and lots more), get out there and see what is available. Then you can start to get some of the best prospects you've ever come across.
