I'm not sure if your business is based totally on passive signups or if you need to talk with people. All I know is that if you really want to be effective you are going to have to contact people.

Technology has changed things drastically and one thing I know is that it can make your time in business very productive. One of my main tools is an auto dialer. With this "in the cloud" software I can upload a list of people that I want to contact and the system does all the dialing for me. The only people I talk with are live people...I don't have to waste my time listening to phones ringing, busy signals, leaving messages when I get someone's voicemail or losing my focus just because I have to punch another string of numbers into the telephone.

What does this mean to me? It means that I get done in two hours what it would take another really focused person 8 hours to do the old fashioned way. That is the way I ran my insurance business when I was there. It is like the difference between a horse and buggy operation and a Formula 1 race car. Which one is going to be to the finish line first?

Of course this costs money to do. One of the first things you'll realize is that you have to follow the old adage...you need to spend money to make money. Our business isn't any different than one on the corner downtown. Every business has some overhead. If you think that you can run any business for free and actually make a great living at it you are likely not going to do well and I'd suggest you stick with your present occupation.

If you'd like to learn more about becoming 4 times more effective than most people here is the site for you to go to. There are lots of other systems out there using the same technology but I found this one the least costly and it gives you the best affiliate payout that I could find.

There are full demonstrations of the system on the website. I am an affiliate here as you'll notice by the link so I will get paid some money if you do decide to use the system. Thank you very much.

Don't forget to sign up yourself as an affiliate because one of the main rules of any business is to reduce overhead and you will also get paid when you help others increase their effectiveness. This is also explained in the website.

If you need people to talk with about your business and don't have anyone I can also help you there. I've found a source that can give you lists of people you can upload and kick start your business quickly. These are folks that have actually filled in a form and requested information about a home based business.

Wishing you great success!
