You Say You Want A Webolution?

Quixtar-affiliated IBOs using the WWDB system get a jump-start on the e-commerce race this week.

Following their unveiling at World Wide's Spring Leadership seminars, a host of new internet-centric training and prospecting tools have been made available to WWDB IBOs who are subscribed as Premier Members-- enhancing the already substantial value of Premier Membership. The offerings include a web tour for prospects and web training for IBOs. New audio training is available for implimentation of the new tools.

A web tour module will allow IBOs to identify potential business partners, regardless of distance, technology levels or scheduling challenges.

A web training module, complimentary to the web tour, enables IBOs to train their registered business partner IBOs via web & 1-on-1 or conference call phone sessions regardless of distance or technology levels.

Also included in the web training module are "Audio Tools"-- averaging at about 5 minutes each in length, these MP3-format audio training files are by WWDB leaders, related to each topic section of the outline. WWDB CDs are cross-referenced per topic for more in-depth training. (WWDB CDs are priced at as little as $2.50 each, for Premier Member IBOs.)

Sidenote: Best-selling Leadership author, speaker and mentor John C. Maxwell is also speaking live in two sessions of each Spring Leadership function location, making himself available for book signing, hand-shaking and picture-taking before and afterwards. Tickets to Maxwell events are normally in the several hundred to thousands of dollars price range; his appearance at the WWDB Spring Leadership functions are at no extra charge.

Hi Michael... I realized after I saw the new modules that this must have been the project you mentioned to Rocket... you contained yourself pretty darn well, considering how cool it is-- this just rocks!

Ty,

I can think of 3 reasons, which I've outlined here:

1 - Digital audio distribution technology is not yet ubiquitous, so CDs will need to still be made available for the no- and low-tech among prospects and IBOs.

2 - Most training tools also double in function as promotional materials, prospecting tools. How does one hand an MP3 to a prospect one meets on the street?
CD Burning technology is available, but again, is not completely ubiquitous, and there is a learning curve and expense to making self-burned media look professional enough to represent a business.

3 - Because of 1 & 2, the time requirements for an individual IBO to accomodate lower tech levels of IBOs and prospects and still come across professionally are counter-productive, particularly when there is already a centralized system in placed to do the job.

Ty, to be blunt, I find your "business-on-a-shoestring" approach amusing but small-time. I don't mean to belittle or offend you-- I realize that you are running a business with more volume than I at the moment. But seriously, if you were my downline, I would counsel you to quit, to find something else, and to move on.

Which you obviously have done (well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, anyway.) Best of luck to you.

Ironically, this blog which you have complimented is entirely a product of the last 10 years of training I've absorbed from the World Wide system. Elsewise, you'd still be thinking I'm talking about a party drug, like the first person I approached did.

I personally feel that if there is something of value, there will be a cost associated with it; and if there have been multiple people putting in multiple hours making that value available in a professional, convenient format, I have no problem with them being compensated for their time, effort and expertise.

But regardless, since you obviously find no value in the content of WWDB CDs or the effort undertaken to produce them, I highly suggest you continue your application of free market principles in electing not to support those items with your dollars.

Those of us who do find a value in them will continue.

I was not referring to the means of delivery, I was referring to your "give me uncommon opporunity, but give it to me free or it's worthless to me" mentality. Which relates to the "small-time" mentality (not volume) to which I was referring-- I already acknowledged that your volume is larger.
