Big Planet Leads

Big Planet™ is a direct marketing company dedicated to bringing the benefits of technology to everyone. They fulfill that mission by providing compelling and innovative products that are designed specifically for non-technical people. As a result, each of their products and services are extremely easy to use.

Big Planet™ is currently focused on the exciting field of digital photography. With the convergence of the personal computer, the Internet, and digital cameras, the way people capture, view, and share their pictures has changed forever. Big Planet™ is currently developing a digital photo website and product family that meets the needs of this rapidly growing market, making it easy to view, organize, and share precious memories. This site, together with photo preservation services and a variety of digital photo output options, create a unique and rewarding business opportunity.

Big Planet's Opportunity

Digital photography is one of the fastest growing technology trends today. With a consumer adoption rate that eclipses CDs, DVDs, and even the Internet, digital imaging is now a $33 billion dollar business. Over half of all US households own a digital camera, and almost 1 billion digital photographs are taken every day. Yet, even with this unprecedented growth, less than 10% percent of the US population currently uses a photo website for storage, organization, and sharing.

Big Planet™ Leads

The majority of Big Planet™ business builders use leads or referrals once their warm market (family, friends, associates, etc...) have been exhausted. The reason for using leads is the high attrition factor, which usually happen within many network marketing businesses.

Leads can be a very expensive and time-consuming way to build a business. Business builders need a lot of leads to make one sale, or to get one person to signup into their business. Personally, I do not like leads. Leads very rarely turn into customers; that is why I buy customers, not leads.

With customers, I do not have to call them to sell my products. Customers are already buying products and/or services from some company. Since they are already a customer, they are already spending money. There is no need for me to sell them a thing.

Besides not having to call customers, leads can run from $1.50 up to $4.25, depending on the quantity and quality of leads you purchase.

If you are new to buying leads, heads up.

You will need to call hundreds of them to find one who is remotely interested. You need to have excellent telemarketing skills. You will need to take the abuse and rejection that you will receive from 90% of the people you call. You may be very good at telemarketing and rejection doesn't bother you.

What about your downline? Realize that your entire downline is not customers but distributors just like you. Are they all going to buy leads and do this too? Nope.

I don't buy leads. I buy customers. They cost $50 each. Half of what the results of buying leads conversion cost without all the time spent. I don't have to make any calls. I don't get rejected. I do not have good telemarketing skills. I don't need them. And when I buy customers, they appear in my downline without any effort on my part.

And the 10% of my downline that are distributors do the same thing. Man-O-man we are happy buying customers not leads!
