My VWD Lottery Experience.

phew, how hard it is to set up a 7 email autoresponder!! Being the kind of person that would rather spend a whole day figuring out a php maillist and autoresponder program and learning what the hell a cron job is than spend 30 dollars a month with an online mail list provider, I decided to do it myself. Besides, I don’t like the idea of another company having access to my contact database. I suppose if I need to go in the realms of 1000+ emails a day then I would definitely consider paying a professional company to do it for me.

I have almost got it working now, it’s set up for double opt-in and the autoresponder sends out the first email an hour after the subscription is confirmed. I’m currently trying to set it up so I can add users to it so my own team members can take advantage of an autoresponder without having to pay through the nose for it.(and so they don’t have to go through all the crap I just went through to get it installed and working!)

I’m using a new hosting company that provides a mysql database and php scripting for just 1 quid a month and no contract, once I have it set up and working I will make a tutorial and see if I can get a few of us with prospect capture pages that can easily be used on traffic exchanges and blogs.

I did look into some PC based software that does the same job but again, that was just too complex to be able to ask my downline to repeat. It’s all about duplicatable methods this year.

The first in the email series is finalized and now onwards with the next 6!!

The calls, the calls!

Last night’s prospect training_call was great, 2 blues in a row. It’s amazing how the colors_method works. I think I’m going to lurk on the calls this week and really get a feel for feeling the personality out (pardon the pun). Having the online room where a bunch of us can listen in and comment on what we think the persons color is really helps. Listening to Michael talk to strangers with such ease is amazing. I’m brimming with anticipation for when I can do it myself!

Tuesday’s call which is really Wednesday morning for me was really useful, a blue then a green and then a blue. I took notes this time and I am getting quite good at seeing what colour a person is. I still need more practice actually talking on the phone but I am more confident now than I was before the colors_method. I’m even considering starting a new blog just for the whole mentoring_for_free side. I’m really excited about this training and I can’t wait to start my own live prospect calling campaign.
The e_book mentions I have had on this blog have already had some people click and download so I’ll call them tomorrow and see if I can master the color chart (and try to keep my big mouth shut and my tiny ears open)

I did an experimental setup today to see if I could route a Skype call through my chat_room but alas, it wouldn’t do it
I can record the skype calls and then replay them through the room but I can’t make live calls that are broadcast, anyone out there know of a method to make live calls and route them to an audio chat room?

I looked at various conference call services and there are lots that can provide free rooms but at the cost of a national call (0870 in the UK) but almost everyone that is in this business has a computer and internet (how else would they be here?) and I’ve seen how the chat_room performs on dial up so why not have the team meetings online?

Happy Valentines day everyone!
