Hi Guys,
I guess most of us have heard about
TheStreamlineFunnelSystem. There has been talk about it being a scam.
Now I have been Network Marketing for around 6 years now and have come
across scams in the past and a few successful ones. So what is the
verdict?
I can honestly say and many others are starting to say
on other forums is that this new site is the real deal. My Lead
Packages have brought me 5 sign-ups in the last 2 days and a generous
commission.
Below i will provide you with what is this new Web
3.0 system about. But first check out my website link to find out more
or sign-up by filling in the form athe bottom of the page.

How The Streamline Funnel System Really Works
Description:
It's
been over over 3 weeks since Paul Birdsall has launched his newest lead
generation system - The Streamline Funnel System - there has been tons
of controversy over it. I hope to be able to clear some of the myths
and grumblings by revealing how the Streamline Funnel System really
works.
Just
barely 4 weeks into soft-launch Paul Birdsall's new lead generation
tool, The Streamline Funnel System, has garnered all sorts of responses
of controversy. Some are grumbling of being mislead and deceived, that
was due to technical issues with the amount of people joining and the
Merchant bank, while
others have seen a light of hope and are now seeing the rewards and
gaining sign-ups and generous commissions.
From the get-go SFS has been promoted in pre-launch for
about 3 months or so. Nearly 38,000 people joined the system during
this pre-launch phase with the promise of getting a spot in a brand new
lead generation system that would work for you by providing each member
with 10,000 unique leads that the streamline funnel system would market
to automatically for members.
http://www.streamlinefunnelsystem.com/?id=11491
Sounds like a network marketer's
dream doesn't it? A truly automated system that would market for you
and all you had to do was buy the leads. Well in actuality thats only
part of the story and thus the beginnings of the grumblings and
controversy.
Make no mistake about it everyone was told that
there was a $9.97 upgrade fee to be paid, but that was all that we were
told. Yes, we were told that there would be optional other leads
packages we "could" purchase from the initial website we visited.
What
we weren't told was that there was an additional $39.95 per month fee
to get the 10,000 leads we were promised, and that we only had 3 days
to decide if we wanted to pay this additional fee.
The second
kicker was that we find out that these 10,000 leads are shared by in a
rotation with 24 other members meaning that out of the 10,000 leads you
really only end up with 400 yourself.
Third we find out that we
cannot market our own program/system URLs to these leads, but rather
that The Streamline Funnel System would market our SFS referral URL to
these leads. This in an effort to hopefully build our downlines in SFS
with upgraded and paying members.
So there you have the basis
for the grumblings and misgivings of controversy for Paul Birdsall's
new prodigy in automated web 3.0 lead generation. But there's more to
the story and actually a brighter side, one that I hope anyone who is
really serious about marketing online will realize. People are realizing this is a great system that is working
http://www.streamlinefunnelsystem.com/?id=11491
First lets look at the name of the system: The Streamline Funnel System...
Just
the name in itself should be a good clue as to what this new lead
generation system/tool is all about. Streamline (IE, automated, and
efficient) Funnel (IE, the opening to a down-spout, the beginning)
System (IE, preplanned and calculated). In other words The Streamline
Funnel System is a "funded proposal system."
For those not
familiar with the term Funded Proposal System here is a brief
description to help you understand. A funded proposal system is a way
of gathering a small income to help pay for your advertising costs by
offering prospects (website visitors) something of value for a small
cost. Besides the benefit of helping to pay your advertising costs
another great benefit of a funded proposal system is that it
pre-qualifies your prospects as paying customers.
In other words
it weeds out the freebie-seekers and lookie-Lu's from the serious and
willing to investing in an online, or even offline business. That in
essence is what the $9.97 upgrade fee to streamline funnel system is
all about a weeding out, or separating the wheat from the chafe as the
Bible would so aptly put it.
Once a member has paid the upgrade
fee you will see them in your back office at SFS with their contact
details. Thus you now know you indeed have an active lead you could
contact about your other network marketing programs or systems. Also
another little secret I'll let you in on: everyone gets $9 of this
upgrade fee back immediately. Paul passes it off as you've made a sale
and earned a commission, but in reality his system just immediately
rebates $9 of your upgrade fee back to you.
The Initial 10k Lead Package
OK,
that out of the way lets look at the other parts of the streamline
funnel system, specifically the 10,000 leads and additional lead
packages. The $9.97 upgrade fee is a one time purchase, but the 10k
leads package is a monthly subscription of $39.95.
For this
monthly subscription SFS will put your streamline funnel system
referral URL into a pool with 24 other upgraded members and send out an
email to 10,000 people who have visited the SFS website and filled out
the form that they are interested in getting more information.
So out of these 10,000 emails your referral URL is sent out in 400 of them.
Optional - Additional Lead Packages
Now
you can purchase additional lead packages that cost from $99 for 10,000
leads, $190 for 20,000 leads, and up to $370 for 40,000 leads. But
these lead packages are handled differently than the regular subscriber
10k lead package. These additional lead packages will ALL contain your
SFS referral URL and no one else's. Thus giving you a much higher
chance of securing an active prospect to the streamline funnel system.

The Conversion Rate (or reality of email marketing)
Traditionally
in any email marketing these days a response rate of 0.5% to 3% is the
normal success rate. In other words, out of 1000 emails sent anywhere
from 5 to 15 people will actually read and click the URL in the email
to further investigate the offering. Of course this is affected by how
well written the email's subject line and content is. Also the delivery
rate of the email plays a major role in the email campaign's success.
The
fact is that a HUGE percentage of emails in an email campaign never
even reach the intended recipient's email box due to todays stringent
SPAM filtering and whitelisting rules of email servers.
Part of
the "Web 3.0" side of things with The Streamline Funnel System is that
Paul has come up with a way of "auto-whitelisting" his email servers
address and return email address with the recipient's ISP email server.
Now whether this is true or not is yet another controversy spawned by
SFS, but Paul claims that he is seeing a whopping 95% deliverable rate
for the emails his servers send out.
This
has turned out to be true as Paul
really has broken new ground with lead generation and email marketing,
take into account even the best autoresponder services such as Aweber
and
GetResponse struggle to maintain a high deliverable rate such as this.
But
anyway, back to what you can expect as far as results from these email
campaigns. Paul claims he is seeing a 2% to 10% response rate and a
21.7% conversion rate from the respondees. So for the initial
subscriber 10k package one would see, using the lowest 2% response
rate, 8 people to take action and click the URL in the email (remember
your referral URL was only in 400 of this lead package email mailout).
Out of those 8 one would see, using Paul's quote of 21% conversion
rate, at best 2 or 3 people to actually pay the upgrade fee of $9.97
and possibly 1 or 2 of them going further and subscribing to and or
purchasing a lead package.
However out of a purchase of say the
additional 10k lead package one would see 200 people take action and
click the referral URL and up to 40 decide to go further and join. So
you can clearly see where investing and additional $99 would be
extremely beneficial to anyone serious about giving SFS a full trial
run.

The Compensation Plan
This is the part that most
everyone is enamored on, and really the part that seems to make most
people ignore the real value of The Streamline Funnel System as a true
funded proposal system.
So basically here it is:
You get $15
commission for anyone you personally sponsor into SFS or that signs up
and upgrades through your referral URL in any of the emails sent out by
the system.
You get $15 residual (monthly) commissions out of
the monthly subscriber package should one of your upgraded members
decide to stay on with the system and subscribe.
You also get
50% of the purchase price of any sale of an additional lead package. So
in essence you COULD make $50, $85, or even $190 additional should one
of your downline purchase a lead package.
Conclusion
As
you can see even if all you did was make the initial $15 commissions
this becomes an excellent funded proposal system for your one-time
$9.97 upgrade fee. Of course if you go this route YOU will have to do
your own promoting of your referral URL yourself.
A serious
marketer however should give the system a full trial by investing in at
least the monthly 10k subscription and if possible an additional lead
package.
Personally I made a great deal of money with Paul's
previous funded proposal system Free Leads 4 Life. I do not see why
this system should be any different in generating pre-qualified and
active leads. Streamline Funnel System is an effective and efficient system. It just needs a little more time
to get fully honed as a polished funded proposal system.
So if you're looking for a new and possibly great funded proposal system you owe it to yourself to check out SFS.
