> Has anyone heard of leaders club?? Any feedback on them?
I have to admit that I know very little about Leaders Club. I do remember (from years ago and anyone please correct me if I am wrong) when you joined their club, you had the option of "recruiting" others into their club so that you could receive free leads (money?). Some people do not mind this but I do know some people prefer to have their team members just concentrating on one "biz opp" (as they are sometimes referred to) and not to be sidetracked recruiting for a leads company. Again, I trust that someone will correct this if I am wrong about Leaders Club and you will investigate this fully. My memory may not be as good as I hope it is! :)
If you are looking for a "leads" company, do yourself a favor and find out how they obtain their leads first. There are hundreds of lead companies out there.
Some leads companies offer incentives to people who submit their contact info. For example, the leads company would offer someone a "3 nights stay at X hotel" if they just submit their contact info. The company would then turn around and sell this "lead" as a "hot lead" looking for an opportunity. I have heard the testimony of many people in the past that said when they called the "hot lead" they do not remember EVER asking for info on "biz opps".
I would also suggest that you ask over at MLM.com as I have seen many people come to this board and refer to that forum when asking about leads.
Also, consider the power of "drilling through" your contacts by word of mouth. I have built 3 "brick and mortar" businesses via word of mouth only and that is where I believe long term success is accomplished with any business. The cost was only my time and that is sure better than paying (for example) $150 for 100 leads! :)
Good luck in your search!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
