Rose & Linda I have not had the opportunity yet to call someone who has signed up for information. In that case I surely would make a follow up phone call. When that comes my way I will be willing & ready to contact them but so far I have to say I have not been down that road as of yet. I have yet to have a sign up leave a phone number & ask for a return phone call.
I'm just refering to my regular customers who call me when they need to place a order. I'd be delighted to sign someone up under me when I come to that path.
I'll be right there to answer there questions.
I hope this clears it up a little more better.
Good Luck in all your endevors

I am weak also when it comes to calling. I do use capture pages but most prospects usualy place a fake number!! That kinda discourages anyone from calling....;-)

But If I get a personal mail with a number, I call right away. They are almost always a winner!

Peace, Sharon

That's really great, Kathy. I've experienced your customer care skills firsthand. You DO seem like a person who takes care of both your customers and your associates. I don't doubt you'd be great at motivating your team in a business that requires it. Rose

Yep. I know what you mean, Sharon. But those are tire kickers. Send them a followup email and be done with it. Let your autoresponder do its thing. Since I use my cell phone and don't pay long distance for it, I call every number someone actually supplies. If it's real, I leave a personal message. If I get a person, I talk to them, naturally. If they don't leave a phone number (when I've asked for one), I don't even count them a prospect until THEY call ME. You don't want to work with curiosity seekers. You want to sift through the responses you get and find people who are genuinely interested in changing their lives. I get lots of prospects from my lead capture pages. I just don't worry about the ones who leave fake info so they can try to figure out what the page is a lead-in for. I think online marketers do that a lot, just to "check you out." (I've even been known to get attracted by someone's lead capture page, then find out its for a program or service I'm already involved with.)

Thank you Rose for your kind words. This is just my heart that you are seeing first hand. I have a heart of Gold. I'd be delighted to chat with you if you are interested.
I hope you enjoy your products when they arrive.
God Bless You
