Is It Really All About Duplication - The Reverse Funnel System

Filed Under home based business, Home Business | Posted on February 18, 2008

I have been going over the idea of duplication with regards to affiliate programs and especially The Reverse Funnel System. The promises are that once you have thewebsite with lawn chair guy and the back end office tools (which are pretty extensive I admit), then that should be all you need to really get your new home business moving.

Training is provided as well and there are conference calls headed up by experienced marketers to help guide you through. This is still not enough, especially for the newbie with dreams of working from home full time and maybe even having their picture in the lawn chair instead of Ty Coughlin’s! How are they supposed to have their website seen and noticed amongst the thousands of websites all ready out there?

There are ways to get yourself noticed and I am sure The Reverse Funnel System training includes the important things to start the newbie off in the right direction. But is that enough to make enough sales to cover your monthly costs and put you in the lawn chair? It is not enough.

It is more about how your sponsor can send you in the right direction and provide some real one-on-one training for you. I believe that in many instances, the sponsor-affiliate relationship is often more like the blind leading the blind. That is bound to happen with so many people trying to start a home business without any expereince whatsoever.

Do not get me wrong though. I believe most people who have the desire can learn how to find success with their home business, it just requires time, effort and ideally some one-on-one training.

A successful sponsor is not all that is needed. A sponsor who is willing to take time out of their day to help their downline find success is the best way to go. Ideally, if a potential sign up could “interview” their potential sponsor, they could get an idea if they will be stranded once they actually put their money down or will have access to their sponsor’s knowledge.

Personally, I send an email to all my potential affiliates with my phone number. I always offer that I will call them or they can call me to ask questions about the program or about how to really get started. I speak to people almost daily and have had affiliates who will only sign with me because of this.

The key is this sharing of knowledge and ideas with a personal touch does work and is duplicable. I’ve seen the work of some of my downline members who are having success or on their way.

I believe this is what it takes to see success with duplication. It is not just a high end back office with all the bells and whistles. Its a dedicated sponsor who is just as devoted to help their affiliates find success as they are for themselves. Then I can see how The Reverse Funnel System could work for the masses.

Reverse Funnel System Update

Filed Under Home Business | Posted on February 13, 2008

Let’s make things clear. I am not a member of the Reverse Funnel System. I’m actually watching the progress of someone I know who just started this program recently (within a few weeks I believe) and has made her first $1000 commission from her first sale and that person has made a sale as well. That covers her monthly costs all ready. That is a good sign and is making me do a little more research into this program.

Since I have learned about internet marketing I am becoming better at analyzing the validity of some programs. Some programs are easy to sell and others are not. I have been jumping back and forth with the Reverse Funnel System though for a couple of reasons. I love what I have been reading about Global Resorts Network and the money you can save while taking great vacations all over the world. I haven’t checked yet but I hope they have a resort in Fiji! I have read on a few blogs that the customer service is unparalleled and I think that is really important with any company. There is nothing worse than paying your hard earned money for something you are excited about and find that no one is around to help you out. These are good things.

I can’t get past the landing page with a guy (is it Ty Coughlin?) sitting on a lounging chair by the beach with a laptop computer. The cheesiness of that ad drives me nuts. The Rich Jerk ads give me the same type of reaction…you just want to say, “stop it all ready…show me the real deal!”

One of the main things that is starting to sway me is some very respectable people in this business are beginning to promote this program. Stone Evans is the real deal and absolutely not a scammer. He has a very loyal following and has made many people successful marketers. Stone is promoting RFS as a truly great money making opportunity that can have you working from home full time in a reasonable amount of time. I’m not a total dreamer and I do realize it does not happen over night though. Maybe a long weekend?

Still on the fence but my curiousity is peaking! Click here to learn more about the Reverse Funnel System.
