Absolutely not, I would personally feel like a telemarketer and that I am just hounding people.  And if if I don't like getting calls like that myselfI would not want to be the one on the other end of that phone line.  Even though I am not selling anything do you really thing they will stay on the line long enough to hear me say that? Highly doubtful.
That's the challenge, to set yourself apart from the ordinary telemarketer by what you say. I find a good percentage are happy to talk to you if you get the conversation started by asking about THEM first.

I am finding the last few months especially, the Internet is making drastic changes and the old days of pasting a link or banner somewhere to get referrals is ancient history. If anyone wants to succeed in the future, they are going to have to take on new ideas to get there.

Garydh that's the easy part, you just leave a message that makes them WANT to call you back.



You have been around this type of business long enough to learn some of the ins and outs. It is refreshing to hear you advice and wisdom. I appreciate your advice as I know so do many others in this forum. Keep up the good work. God Bless and Merry Christmas

If they were already interested in making money online then I see nothing wrong with it but personally I probably wouldn't do it.  I used to work in real estate before my kids were born and I quit to stay home with them.  9 time out of 10, nothing comes from cold calling.

If I get one out of 10 to put money in my pocket, I would do it all day!!!  :thumbsup:

I would do simply cause if one person says yes then youu have a refferal/client we did that when were opening a new family clinic and half the people responded and only half of them became clients but that was a good way to start the business

Someone said they would feel like a telemarketer. It really woulnt be telemarketing if it was a targeted lead.They would already be interested in making money online and it doesn't cost them anything to sign up. But, Im not a cold caller. I have never been good with initiating conversation so no I wouldnt Cold Call...

I would say most definitely.

If you want something you need to work for it.  Nothing in life is free...

My opinion here is.. so many people do not know about this awesome site and of course others.. They do not realize how easy it is to do what we do here online.  Yes it takes a little time, but with everything in life.. it pays off.

I would and do tell everyone I am able to.. and reword all the facts.. etc.. till it clicks.  If I can show them how easy it is.. It completes my day. 

They just need to take that chance to try....

 :thumbsup:

Most people are not good at lots of things until they find out how easy they really are.

I would suggest they start right here saving up the $50 it takes to get in, then contact me.

Just curious, if you had a list of 500 strangers who were interested in making money online, could you pick up that 500 pound telephone and give them a call to tell them about Fusioncash?

How about if most of them had an answering machine instead of a real person?

Would it be worth it?


I dont quite understand your question.. what do you mean pick up a 500 pound telephone?

And if you already new for a fact that these 500 strangers were interested and wanting to make money online, why would you not refer them to FC? I mean I wouldnt call a bunch of random people to try n pitch them on it, but if I knew they were already interested, then why not?
Thats like saying you know a guy who wants an HDTV and you know of a store that has them on sale, why wouldnt you tell him about it?

The 500 pound telephone is an old analogy used in marketing circles to describe why people won't make calls to strangers. Remember, what I said was they are interested in making money, not specifically in Fusioncash. It's like a guy that wanted to have some entertainment at home and you need to at least suggest he look at HDTV as the solution to his problem.
