Over the last few years I have noticed a large amount of my
downline, sponsors and clients often have terrible phone
calling plans depending on where they live. One of the top
skills we as sponsors in our programs continually teach our
teams to pick up the phone and call their downlines in an
effort to help those people achieve success.
If you live in a good part of the country or a country that
offers great phone calling plans you don't have much to worry
about. However if you are unfortunate to live where the plan
is
very expensive, you may not be in a position to call your team
properly. Keep in mind that a phone call can make the
difference between getting an active member or losing that
member for good.
So how do you solve this problem if you are an online marketer
or business owner but you're one of the unfortunate people who
cannot afford to call as much as you should? I may have a
simple solution for you that will not break the bank. VOIP is
Voice Over Internet Protocol. In other words you use your PC
and your internet connection to make telephone calls for free
or low monthly plans. You can even pay as you go in some
cases.
Google Talk:
If you don't mind registeting for a free Gmail account at
Google they offer free VOIP service that enables you to call
or
send instant messages your team, family and friends. Offering
a
quick download it should only take you about 3 minutes on a
modem ( files size: 900K). One notable item is that it
requires
Windows XP/2000 with a minimum of a 56k (broadband
recommended)
connection. Dial up will work however broadband will be easy
to
talk and IM your friends.
iConnectHere | Broadband Phone:
What's nice about iConnectHere is it's low normal plans
starting under twenty dollars. They will help you "Hang up on
High Prices" as their slogan says. iConnectHere Broadband
Phone
offers low calling rates maybe the lowest in the world for
your
local, long distance and international telephone needs.
Imagine
being able to call that lead from Austailia! Their plans could
save you up to 80% when compared with traditional phone
service
according to thier sites information. Plus their plans include
bundled features at no extra cost.
As you can see just from the two services above you do now
have
a way to connect with your new referrals, sponsors, customers
or
even your family and friends can use free VOIP to cut costs.
Using these types of services will help improve your support
to
your downline and won't cost you like it does when you use a
land line phone system with their high cost calling plans.
If that's not enough for you here are two more services that
will make it easy for you to contact the important people in
your online business. This service is called Skype where the
whole world can talk for free according to the Skype website.
Using the service Skype provides, you can call ordinary phone
numbers all over the world. if your downline member has a bad
calling plan as well Skype is a little program that allows
anyone to make free calls over the internet to anyone else who
also has the Skype software which is free, easy to download
and
to use. It also knows how to play nice with most computers
available today.
Skype also offers Voicemail which lets you direct your
incoming
calls when you’re busy or offline to your voicemail. Your
downline will be happy they can get in contact with you when
they have questions.
NetZero also offers you a service where you can call people
anywhere in the world from your computer for free. NetZero
Voice makes calling as easy as instant messaging, except
instead of typing (chatting) you are talking over your
Internet
connection for free.
Simple to use as with other similar services you just download
the software, sign-in with your NetZero member ID and dial any
NetZero member ID to begin talking for free and it works with
dial-up or broadband.
Either way you look at it, now you can and really you should
select one of these types of services so you can enable voice
communications with your new referrals and customers. It just
makes sense as people buy from people not websites or
buildings. They buy from you, if you call them! Get VOIP and
get in touch with them today!
