A simple way to create free leads

Want to create free leads for your business? Of course you do. Ive use a simple method to create leads in my business and want to share that idea with you. I will be the first to say that this idea is not new and I have totally "borrowed" this method from big corporate business and the way they deal with us the consumers.

Have you ever received a free sample? Free samples are a great way to test your product. You can gather ton's of info from this method. In my travels to the stores and malls of America ive sampled dozens of free samples as well as trials. Many times this is the last exposure to a business I need to make a decision to use them. Free trails let you test the product at no risk. If it works out well for you as a consumer you are probably going to use this product in the future. Get a product you can use or taste on the spot also is powerful. If you have ever been in a BJ's, Costco or a Sam's Club you know what I mean. I love their free food and many of the samples make me buy their product.

So how do you relate this to your business? Find something that you can give away in your business and make samples. Give them away as a advertising venture. If you can offer a free trial to your service do so. In the event you dont have something that you can give away for free or cant offer a free trail then you are encouraged by me to find a free gift to offer from the internet. Maybe you can team up with another service and cross promote. Big business does this all the time with great results.

This method can be used either off or online so no matter how you want to market your business you can use it. I wish you much success. My door is always open for further discussion on how I continuously use this method and it's results.

Do I have to create it myself? Can it be an affiliate product? I think I answered my own question(s) there. I'd like to know what you've had success with.; ▶ Reply to This

For instance say you are looking to recruit people to join your opportunity. You might want to look at and target other MLM networkers as many keep their eyes open to other opportunitiies. In this case it might be a good idea to give them free access to a product they can use in their own business. Leads are a good choice. I have a lead capture page ( I made it free using a free program) that promotes 5000k free leads just for signing up. I average 3-5 leads a day with this site alone. I always call them back to make sure they got their leads and then ask if they are looking at other ways to create income. As I have free samples in my business I always talk to them about using my free samples to increase their business as well. Thus usually opens some dialogue on my product and at the very least im able to get referrals from them. I hope this helps a bit.; ▶ Reply to This

I give away a free Robert Kiyosaki CD it actually cost S&H but the fee is nominal and separates the tire kickers from the people who are honestly motivated.

Check it out here http://RequestMyFreeCd.com

Also there is an affiliate program so if you would like to do the same thing just let me know...

Think outside the box try different things everyone is not doing. I have a free list of ways to market your business offline in pdf format you are welcome to a copy of it contact me I will be happy to send it to you.

It is not my creation.

P.S. Ateam07 I would be interested in the free lead capture program you use can you give more details on that.; ▶ Reply to This

I often have purchased whatever I sampled ... especially in the digital world. I love free trials of software. Fortunately I'm with a company who offers that.; ▶ Reply to This
