UK - Utilities [phone, mobile phone, broadband, line rental, gas & electricity]
I have been with Telecomplus [now UWDC] since 1997 - and the Services should provide the 'better value' referred to below. Try it and see.
The Utility Warehouse Discount Club was launched in 2004. It is operated by Telecom plus PLC.
Our objective is to save our Customers money by providing significantly better value than they were previously receiving from monopoly suppliers like BT. We use the collective buying power of lots of individual small users to negotiate bulk buying deals with major suppliers, passing the benefit back to our customers.
Our advanced billing system means the customer receives a single monthly bill from us covering all the services we provide. We save on administration, postage and processing costs. The Customer gets the best value available!

In any business, the money has to come from somewhere. Whether it's from sales revenue or service charges or other transactions, the bitter business truth is that every dime in your pocket used to be in someone else's. It's not a bad thing. Just because you have money that used to be in someone else's possession doesn't mean that the former owner is now busting out the food stamps. Through however many transactions between however many parties, you received money, and they received either goods or services. And that's how an economy works.
On a less Macro scale, in the world of network and multi-level marketing this principle remains especially true and obvious. At the very core of your business, you make money through the sale of goods or services to someone. You yourself may never sell a thing and be living in a huge mansion, but odds are you're benefiting from the sale of something to someone. This system of making sales work for you is part of the appeal of MLM. Downlines. You benefit from the work of others. The more people you have in your downlines, the more profit you are making. Downlines make sales. You make money. End of story. But what's the name of the game?
Leads. The hottest commodity of MLM. If you've got 'em, you've got it. If not, you're going to be working really, really hard to pay for that huge mansion on door-to-door sales and Tupperware parties. If you can get downlines, you can get money. In order to have downlines, you need leads. In short, leads equal money.
And that's the MLM secret, which you already know, of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't make a fortune by yourself in this business. But just because you know that you need leads doesn't mean you can find them. And that's where so many MLM ventures fail. It is a commonly reported statistic that well over 90% of those involved in MLM never make a profit. But you can bet that a healthy supply of leads will keep in you in the successful ten percent.
There's a couple different ways to go about it. You can do what most MLMers do (and fail): make a list of your friends and family (sound familiar?), pass out 'business op' fliers, spend lots of money and have social functions, beg, plead, scream, pass out, wake up, continue. Eventually, the strenuous effort takes its toll on your health and you leave the industry to do something a little more docile and less stressful on your health, like substitute teaching in an alternative high school.
Personally, I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members, I pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met, I gave away hundreds of dollars worth of Samples and promotional materials, I cold called people from the local phone book, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leads, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems", I tried a different Company, then another, then another, with limited success.
There is a better way. A way to channel leads to your business who come looking for it. The Spider Web Marketing System is a system designed to do one thing: generate leads. And it does so with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in the industry. It's based on what is called the funded proposal system, a system that utilizes highly developed Internet marketing strategies to bring interested, real leads. The best part of funded proposal, and the great appeal of The Spider Web Marketing System, is that it perpetuates itself, so that it keeps itself going and continues to generate income for you, while continually sending quality leads your way.
There are other ways to get leads. You can put down some serious cash for "lead lists" who will give you pages and pages of innocent people who have been called a hundred times, and you can work off of that. But with Spider Web Marketing, these are leads that come to you. They are "fresh leads," meaning that they have not been called before or come from any list. These are people, who using the Internet, seek out a business opportunity and come straight to you.
I look forward to The SpiderWeb Marketing System gaining solid leads. It will help me get more leads, grow my business, and make more money, and help me on my goal to Gain time freedom, Spend my time with my family, Obtain economic independence, Enjoy my time and my life my way, Be a leader in my business, Share my knowledge with others, Share my success with othersWork less hours.
Basically, The Spider Web Marketing System is a lead generating machine. And in a business where leads are the name of the game, that's a piece of equipment you can't afford to be without.

The Depressed but Blessed Monday
I will never forget the day I first stumbled across the concepts that started me down the path of research and development of the Spider Web Marketing System. It was early on a long depressing Monday morning that my life was changed forever. This Monday was depressing not only because I found myself back at my dead-end job yet again, but far worse because I had spent the previous three weeks preparing for the recruiting-event-to-end-all-recruiting-events. It was to be the most successful "meeting" that anyone had ever seen.
The Master Plan
I was certain that after this huge "opportunity" BBQ, everyone in my company was going to be coming to me to figure out what I had done to recruit so many people. I had my small downline buzzing with excitement about how we were all going to be able to kick back and watch the cash roll in after this event. Previous small casual BBQ's at my home had been somewhat effective and encouraging, so I was sure that this large gathering was going to be just that much more effective.
I spent well over $1,000 getting ready for the BBQ. I purchased enough hamburgers and hot dogs to feed a small army, as well as volleyball equipment, horseshoes, and badminton sets. I rented the largest park in town, a grill the size of my truck and everything else I could think of to make this an enjoyable and successful "meeting".
Then, with a bit of help from some of my top guys, I passed out between ten and fifteen thousand flyers. We talked to everyone we knew and everyone we met as we were preparing for the event. I literally only slept an hour or two each night for the entire week leading up to the BBQ.
Finally, the day arrived. There was a buzz of excitement running through my whole organization. Unfortunately, it would soon be smothered, along with the hearts of everyone who had worked so hard to help put this event together. So, out of the 20,000 people who had heard about the BBQ or got a flyer, the grand total that showed up was...76. Not quite the 5,000 I was hoping for or even the 500 I was willing to settle for--76.
To add salt to an already painful wound, out of those 76 I was able to pitch my opportunity to, there was a total signup of -24.
"How is that possible?" you ask.
Well, I had worked and overworked my entire team and placed way too much emphasis on how well things were going to work out and how easy it was going to be once we were done recruiting the masses that were inevitably going to show up. So, in the face of this massive failure, I lost any and all confidence that my team had in me as a leader. Within a few days, despite my best effort to retain them, I had lost them all.
So there I found myself -- broke, broken, depressed, forced to go back to a job which I had hoped never to return to and searching for any reason I could find to keep myself from giving up on my MLM dream.
Then I found it - the key, the concept, and the strategy with which to make it a reality (which had been hidden right under my nose for five years) that unlocked my mind from the chains that this industry had placed on me. This is the concept that would open my eyes to a new way of looking at this business and a way of seeing things that I had never before been shown.
That is his great story. I'll explain more about the secret that he mentions. Actually, the secret is in the huge system that I write about, and every entry explains more of this complex and comprehensive system.
I totally know what he went through, because I went through it too. When I first joined MLM, I struggled because I have not had enough training, I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone, My Friends and Family were not interested, I didn't know how to "sell", I didn't want to "sell", I didn't have enough leads. It was tough, but I did my best to be successful. I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members, I pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met, I gave away hundreds of dollars worth of Samples and promotional materials, I cold called people from the local phone book, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leads, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems", I tried a different Company, then another, then another.
Eventually I realized that I needed more help because I was frustrated with the results of my previous efforts, I wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach, I ran out of options.
However, using The SpiderWeb Marketing System, I look forward to improving my business potential and bring real leads, business, and money to me.
Now it will do all the hard work for you... Guaranteed!
