Their most notable decline was in their customer service. Trying to call them was next to impossible. We have heard this from many people.  Well, Peak Impact as you knew them is no more.

Somewhere in mid to late 2010 they were bought and are merging with another company based out of Oklahoma. GB Lead Systems has taken things over, which is good news for the lead industry. They will have much better support and the lead quality should return to where it once was.

Be looking for some of those old Peak reseller sites to fade away, and a few of them that were more active to me merged into the GB Lead Systems network.

I don’t know much about GB Leads, except that they are one of the primary suppliers to many of the major lead companies out there.  They are the primary source. While I still believe that no one company generates all their own leads, GB Leads is one of the big boys.

If you’ve used GB Leads before, or if you have any further word on Peak Impact, let us know by leaving a comment.

One of the main goals of a multi-level marketing (MLM) independent distributor (business owner) is to sell the product or service of the parent company. However, an equally important goal is to encourage the customer to also become an independent distributor within that business owner’s network and sell the services or product. Prospects who may be interested in becoming distributors are known as MLM leads.

The MLM business owner can generate his or her own leads through referrals from family members, friends, and acquaintances. These leads can also be generated through a variety of marketing tools, including surveys, event or trade show promotions, and informative websites. One quick and convenient way to acquire MLM leads lists is to simply buy the list from a third party company.

For the new MLM business owner, these methods may be too costly or time consuming. One quick search on the internet will result in a plethora of web sites promoting free MLM leads. While cost savings are beneficial, the term “free” can also indicate a situation that is too good to be true.

If the business owner decides to take advantage of some of the free leads available, he or she must take care to look into the background of the third party company that is supplying these leads. It is also important that the MLM business owner check his or her list of free MLM leads against the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry every 90 days. This will ensure that the list is updated regularly and that the leads remain fresh.

MLM Leads Info provides comprehensive information on MLM lead generation and lists, as well as email, opt-in, free, genealogy, targeted and local leads. MLM Leads Info is the sister site of Lead Generation Web.

It seems to me that Doug has his hand in on some of this… I may be wrong… but it seems like anything BUT an objective list of companies.  Nevertheless, we wanted to post his article because it is neither here nor there what company you buy leads from, just get good leads and build your business.

Okay… on to the article:

MLM Leads – The Top 15 MLM Lead Companies in Network Marketing
By Doug Firebaugh

That is a sound of music to my ears. Why? I worked MLM Leads for nearly 8 years, and had great success with them. That is why that I have a pretty good understanding of what really makes a good MLM Lead, and what does not.

In the pursuit of finding these top 15 Network Marketing Lead companies, there were some requirements and considerations that went into the mix. An MLM lead is only part of the MLM Lead Success Formula. There were 5 things that we looked at when we were considering MLM Lead Companies.

What are they?

1) Quality of the MLM lead.

Quality of lead is everything. There are some great looking websites out there that look totally rocking, but we found that the quality of leads when we called them, were less than what you should expect in an MLM lead.

Beautiful site, great looking logo, lousy leads.

That is why we actually had people order leads, and we called them. We called more than one bunch of leads as well. This at least would give us a feeling of consistency or lack of it. The MLM Lead companies we chose were highly consistent in quality of lead, and people who truly were looking for a business. It took us 7 months to complete the research on MLM leads.

2) Training of working the MLM Leads.

Many of the beautiful sites offered no type of ongoing training, and that was something that really needs to be be a part of any good MLM leads programs. There were some that had online training, as well as cds and training series you could purchase. That was good, but the ongoing live training was the best idea, and we found many MLM leads Companies that did just that.

Training also includes scripts, handling objections, presentation, following up, closing, and other MLM leads topics. There are some HOT MLM leads sites out there that truly delivered on this quality of MLM leads training.

3) MLM Leads Support.

The support factor was key. Once the MLM leads were purchased, was there somehow support in case of need? Most had email support, some had live phone support, and some had live instant message support. There were sites that offered no support, and if you had a challenge with your MLM leads, then good luck.

The support should be somehow resolving issues that arise, including bad mlm leads, wrong numbers or emails, and general problems. The MLM Leads companies we found that were the best, had a support system. And some type of guarantee also should be part of the network marketing lead program.

4) Targeted MLM leads.

Many companies had different types of targeted mlm leads, including company specific, live tv leads, local leads, gender specific, product specific, area code specific, among others. Targeted mlm leads are the favorite of the Networkers I talked to, as it gives people a more focused lead, and a more targeted impact.

5) Pricing of the MLM leads.

This was a huge factor in determining many people’s decision to buy. But to be blunt, you get what you pay for. There are many cheap network marketing home business lead companies with cheap leads, but here is a warning:

Be careful. You get what you pay for.

Ask if you can try maybe 15-20 leads to see if they are worth the money. Many companies give free network marketing leads away to try.

Understand that a great MLM lead may cost you several dollars, and rightfully so.

INFERNO Secret:

An MLM lead purchase is NOT a purchase, but an investment in your business. One good MLM lead can produce tens of thousands of dollars in volume and revenues. If you understand that, then the pricing should not be as important as the quality and training of the Network marketing lead company.

And of course, REPUTATION had a lot to do with the selection as well. Some companies that came across really well, when checked on, did not have a very good reputation for MLM Leads and service.

Soooooo:

What are the Top 15 MLM lead Companies? (They are in no particular order, as all are really good as far as our research would tell us.)

INFERNO Secret:

Do your OWN DUE DILIGENCE before you purchase, but these we found are pretty strong as all scored well in the above areas of requirement.

1) Cutting Edge Media

2) Leads2yoursuccess.com

3) Networkleads.com

4) ProStep MLM leads

12) Optimized Leads

13) Laser Leads

14) Leads Lists

15) MLM leads.com

There ARE other good MLM lead companies out there, depending on what you are looking for. But these we found as far as research, were the better ones, and some were beyond exceptional.

MLM leads are a great source of NEW BLOOD for your business. You can find Gold mine after Gold mine, in a good Network marketing lead and great MLM Leads.

It is easy to get excited about starting your first MLM home business. After all, the prospect of setting your own hours, working from your own office, and writing your own paycheck can be very attractive. Unfortunately, when most marketers run into difficulty finding good MLM leads, their enthusiasm begins to wane.

As a result, almost 95% of MLM marketers give up before they ever make a dime.

So how do you get good, qualified MLM leads? The answer, clearly, does not lie in pestering your friends, family members, and coworkers. Unless they have expressed a sincere interest in joining and learning an MLM opportunity, you are just wasting your time – and theirs. Even worse, it is easy to erode relationships by pitching to those whom you already know.

Instead, the answer lies in magnetic sponsoring. Savvy marketing companies like YourNetBiz (new brand for MyInternetBusiness) teach recruits an attraction marketing formula that helps them find prospects who are genuinely interested in the YourNetBiz/MyInternetBusiness opportunity.

To obtain good MLM lead, focus your marketing efforts on solving your prospects’ problems and identifying their goals, not on the opportunity you are offering. Your marketing materials should resonate with people who are ideal prospects for your MLM home business.

Think about the problems that your MLM opportunity can solve, and the goals that it can help prospects achieve. Perhaps it can allow recruits to leverage their efforts to double or triple their incomes. Maybe it can allow them to spend more time with their spouses and children. It might even give them the power to further a social goal, such as saving people money, reducing pollution, or helping people manage their time more efficiently.

By thinking of your MLM opportunity in terms of identifying problems and providing solutions, you will be able to create an attraction marketing blueprint that will make the process of finding qualified MLM leads quicker, easier, and much less stressful.

Are you putting countless hours into your network marketing business, only to find that people are leaving faster than you can put recruits in your downline? I can help! Just visit YourNetBiz today to get on the fast track to network marketing success!

Network marketing may not be the first choice of many to build financial wealth but consider the changes taking place within the industry right now. For example, community based network marketing is emerging as a trend which is giving failed network marketers of the past renewed faith and hope that there is a system which can actually work and help them make vital breakthroughs in building their business.

In 2007, Ann Sieg rocked the network marketing world when she released two landmark books, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing followed by The Renegade Network Marketer. What this system did was introduce internet network marketing to the world. The truth is, it actually just re-enforced the concept that using the internet would help fast track a person’s business growth.

Occupy The City

Occupy The City is a community based network marketing opportunity which encompasses the principles of the Renegade system. Members are being taught how to market online, skills which they didn’t have. In fact, many had not even touched a computer keyboard in the past.

Occupy The City founder Jason Acopolis is proud of the emergence and impact OTC is having and it’s role in redefining the face of MLM business building in the future.

“Our professional community is open to anyone that has the drive to succeed. Because Occupy the City is a Professional Community, there are no-strings-attached. The information is free and there is no pressure anywhere in the process. We know we have a lucrative business model based on core values with integrity, but we also know it’s not for everyone.”

Acopolis says…”Our system works like a diamond sifter to allow the most qualified, driven, and professional applicants to rise naturally to the top with out the need for high pressure sales. Our in house marketing Dept. is connected to the best of the best when it comes to marketing online and all of their knowledge and tools are put to use to drive your business.”

He says…”If you are someone with the ability and drive to succeed in the environment we create then you will see that for yourself, and if we see it in you as well then you are already on your way.”

“From day one as an accepted applicant you have access to the knowledge of the entire community along with all the training, tools, marketing, and mentoring you need through our support forums & training pages. Our community of professionals is at the beckon call of every new member. On top of all that you never have to interview or close your own prospects since we have some of the best people in the business on board to do that for you!”

So if you are struggling in your network marketing business then consider what Occupy The City can offer you in turning your fortunes around.

Ever wondered how online marketers can send an email and see $2,500 or $5,000 or even $25,000 or more flow right into their bank account?

It probably seems like magic…or a scam. But let me tell you, it’s neither one. In fact, it’s pretty easy once you have the business tool these big-profit marketers have. And Michael Rasmussen’s new “Get More Buyers” video course shows you how to get it.

*************************************************
If you’re in a hurry, just go ahead visit this URL to get the full details about this video course:

http://www.national-leads.com/recommends/GetMoreBuyers
*************************************************

The secret weapon these marketers have is a mailing list absolutely stuffed with buyers. What’s great about Michael’s course is that he hands you 10 practical strategies for attracting eager buyers. Actually, he’s showing you the way he built his own list, which is pretty much legendary as a JV profit powerhouse.

I’ve reviewed the course myself, and I can say a few things with confidence…

First, the quality of the course is excellent. This was obviously professionally done. The audio is near studio quality, and the presentation he walks through makes the concepts completely clear. Michael’s previous products were clearly made by somebody who KNOWS how to make a great product, and this one continues the tradition.

He starts with a brief introduction to the common list-building mistakes people make when they’re just starting out online. This certainly explained some of my own struggles—it’s not just “fluff” material.

For example, he tells you how to create your own profit-pulling marketing “funnel”, even if you’re starting from scratch. He also tells you the root cause of the two major challenges most people face…but then he goes one better. He tells you specifically how to crush those challenges.

He walks through 10 strategies for stuffing your list full of buyers. This is amazing material. Here’s just a sample of what he covers:

1. The “magic” price that can get you buyers almost immediately if you’re selling your own product
2. How to increase the profit you make on each sale by 50% of more, almost immediately, and with hardly any effort (it’s all about buyer psychology)
3. How to “steal” buyers from other marketers, and actually have them thank you for it!

*************************************************

List-building books and courses are a dime a dozen, but Michael’s course is one of the best I’ve ever seen. There’s no tired old advice that doesn’t work today. He’s giving you real strategies that he uses himself, and that helped him create a list that routinely brings in five and six figures when he sends an email.

If you want results like that for yourself (and who DOESN’T, right?) then you check out Michael’s “Get More Buyers” course. Your business profits will be very happy you did!

People want to get away from their jobs. They hate their boss. They don’t like the daily commute. They hate the static hours and in most cases, the limitation it places on the amount of time they can spend with their families. Yes, we’ve heard all this stuff before so when they bite the bullet and take on a home business more than 95% of them fail.

Yet despite this alarming statistic, thousands still start at home businesses every day. And the biggest reason is they want to get away from their J.O.B. Now this is where the irony comes in because the secret to succeeding in work from home businesses is the very reason most want to start one – you’ve got to treat it like a job.

Get A Job Working From Home

The growing number of at home businesses occurs mainly through lack of focus. People get the impression that because it’s their business they can work the hours they want and that’s one of the driving elements behind them tossing in their job.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean you can relax. There is the underlying problem. People go into self employment opportunities with the right intentions but lack the mental staying power to make it work. You need to treat it like a job. Here’s what we mean.

In a job, you’re tied to a set number of hours. For most it’s 9-5 and they are required to output a certain amount of work each day and their reward is a paycheck. Think about this, what’s the difference between that concept and being self employed. There really is no difference. If you don’t put the work in then you won’t get the reward.

But the benefit with work at home businesses is your reward is determined by just how much sweat equity you put into it and that’s one of the secrets behind the big income earners. They treat their businesses as a job especially in the building stage and their actions get rewarded in large numbers in time.

Here are some steps to beating paralysis analysis working from home and how you can get productivity levels moving in the right direction:

1. Set yourself a specific work window each day. This can be 9-5, 8-5, 8-12noon…it doesn’t matter, as long as you have a designated number of hours where you will fully commit to your business each day.

2. Get rid of all distractions. This can be achieved bysetting a designated work area, turning off the television, avoid checking emails and taking the phone off the hook when you’re not using it.

3. Set short term goals during the day. Reward yourself in some minor way each time a task is completed.

4. Start with the most difficult and pending tasks first. This is a great way to increase your work productivity because you’ll be tackling them when you’re fresh and you’ll gain satisfaction when they’re finished making the remaining tasks look mere formalities.

5. Appoint yourself a mentor who will act as your supervisor. You will report to this person on a daily basis, twice a day for the first month and then once a day for a period of at least six months. Make sure this person is someone you both respect and fear but most of all, hate to let down. This is one of the most powerful motivators in succeeding with work at home businesses.

In this Magnetic Sponsoring review we are going to give you a good understanding of what really is this information product. Is the Magnetic Sponsoring book going to fill your expectations or is it just another usual information product, with nothing really new offered to its readers? Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect the first time I came across it. I didn’t want to spend more money on mlm lead programs. Having done it many times in the past with no actual results to show, made me think about it.

This is what I noticed about the book: this one is different to any other MLM lead generation information product you have seen in the past. Its author, Mike Dillard, doesn’t fall for the usual methods you would usually see on other experts. What I mean by this is, he just doesn’t push you a book full of difficult to implement techniques that deliver not actual valuable information on generating MLM leads for yourself. We all know that to have results, you need to ask to yourself these questions: What exactly should you I do to become successful on generating leads in this network marketing industry? Just like in any other industry, you need commitment, dedication, and a few other important factors.

There are many ebooks on the internet and a few mlm lead generation books you can acquire in specialized stores, but they just tell us the same old thing. Do you need more of the same? I think we all want to see something different. Now, let’s go back to the first question: What is so new about this MLM Magnetic Sponsoring book? Is it really worth its purchase price? Can we find some proven methods to apply in it? Are we going to see some mlm lead success if we puchase it?

If we are talking about some new techniques, I can say yes and no to all these questions. The book doesn’t come up with some tricks and methods we don’t know about. The important thing here is that it makes you see them from a new angle . What you can be sure of, is that the way in which you will be implementing and using this seemingly under-used techniques, is something revolutionary.

On the other hand, the book gives you a new light on some very direct MLM lead generation techniques that you probably didn’t know about. You’ll find those here. In a well mapped guide, you will be able to implement them in your mlm lead generation business.

The book is made of 10 easy to understand chapters designed to radically change your approach about mlm lead marketing generation. Just knowing that the author is a well established writer, and that it does what he preaches, assures the high quality of this book. There is only one thing I wasn’t pleased with this book: it does not come in an eBook format, for an instant download. But it remains as a fact that even in this type of format, Mike Dillard has already sold thousands of copies in a few months. On the other hand, some people prefer a hard copy anyway. That way they save a lot of time and money printing it at Kinkos.

One thing is a given: expect doing a lot of highlighting on lots and lots of concepts in the book. The book offers a lot of them. And another thing: you’ll have to read it several times until you can finally implement all the techniques easily and with no hesitation.

Multi-Level Marketing is all about talking to people, as many people as possible. Buying MLM Leads can be your short cut to success.

There is no way that you and everyone you sponsor personally know thousands of people. Sure, maybe you have a personal contact list of over 500 people, but the only way your business will expand the way you want it to is if every member of your downline also has a large personal contact list. This is almost certainly not the case. MLM leads provide everyone with unlimited numbers of people to speak with.

If everyone in your organization was an accomplished internet marketer then you could all put together your own lead generation campaigns. But this is almost certainly not the case. MLM Lead Companies have spent years perfecting their lead generation techniques so your entire organization can benefit from their experience.

Some people argue that if you create your own leads then you have an exclusive MLM lead that no one else has. This is just not the case since people who fill in forms requesting more information on a business opportunity are almost always filling in multiple forms. They are shopping around for the right business for them.

It actually saves you money to buy a MLM lead that one or two other people from other companies have also purchased. Your prospect is either going to like you and your business or not. No matter what he is considering at least a few other opportunities so it just doesn’t make sense to waste money on buying expensive advertising to create your own leads.

Time is your most important resource. You can never replace it. Does it make sense to call 200 prospects to sponsor one new recruit or would calling only 50 prospects to sponsor the same recruit make more sense? By buying the highest quality MLM Leads you’ll have to call less people for the same results.

Network marketing is all about duplication. Your downline has to understand how you build your business and more importantly they have to think they can do the same thing. MLM leads make it easy to show everyone how to do the business in the same way.

Many MLM Lead companies host live lead calls. It’s a great idea to have your entire organization listen in to these calls. Your downline will learn how to call leads and you’ll have to spend less individual time with each downline member.

Your success depends on the success of your downline. The better you train and motivate people in your organization, the more successful you’ll become. By having everyone focus on getting good at using MLM leads, you and your organization will be able to achieve much greater levels of success with less effort.

Offer content which will be interesting or useful to visitors.

One thing that will net you more connections is having content which informs or entertains. Good content, the kind that holds people’s attention will get you free word-of-mouth (or perhaps word-of-mouse, these days) advertising.

Content which offers something to readers is in high demand on social networking sites in particular and the web in general. Content is what people go to the internet for in the first place. If you want to drive traffic to your site (and who doesn’t?) then make yourself an attraction to social media users by giving them irresistible content.

Make your content useful.

Original and interesting content is a start, but your target viewers need a way to find this content. If you can be found quickly, you’re much more likely to reach a large audience. If you have articles as part of your content, make sure that they are search engine optimized so that they can easily be found by a search engine.

Make your web presence larger.

Did you have a hit with one article? Did this drive more traffic to your site? Don’t stop with one and rest on your laurels. You can build an audience by frequently adding new content to social media sites. Make sure people see you as a source of consistently great content.

If you do this, you will generate buzz every time you submit new content. Once you’ve established yourself as a known quantity on the social media scene, your target audience will visit your site more often and even seek your site out for its own sake.

Promote your site and your content. Build a brand.

Always, always, always promote yourself. When you have new content available, send out email to your target audience informing them of it. Mention new content in articles you submit, your podcast (if you do one) – anywhere you can promote your content, do it! One word of caution though: do this with tact. Social networks and their users will regard you with suspicion if you are always coming on as a hard sell type.

Encourage communication.

While people like the relative anonymity of the web, they also enjoy communicating with others from the online world. Give them a way to do that – surveys, feedback forms, comment forms, even forums will be appreciated by visitors to your site.

Social media as a method of driving traffic to a site can take a lot of work. If done properly, however, it can be a very cheap way of brand building and generally making people aware of a website. Social media can be a great resource for promotion; don’t be afraid to explore its possibilities for your website.
