Hi Ryan, I agree, the tracking of the ads in back really helps
to show where to spend your time and money.
Also, one may want to start off with a small ad and then
spend more for advertising where they are seeing results
with thsoe small ads.
ie,
A banner ad on bottom of page (cheaper ad space)
Banner ad on top of web page (more expensive but also
better results)
Paid solo ad in a certain ezine if you are seeing results from
a smaller ad like top sponsor spot, etc.
Terry, the advertising data base is in the back office.
If you'd like some ad copy, just let me or other RFS
members know.
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Kim,
I have lots of my own ad copy. What I'm asking about is what is written and promised on the RFS Sales Letter.
When I look at all the Bonuses and Promises, I am finding that the majority of them actually don't exist.
I will provide ad copies too, but this is not our responsibility.
All the best,
TerryG

Hey Kim,
I have tried some solo ads, but I haven't had any luck with any of them. Do you have any examples for advertising the reverse funnel system in ezine solo ads? If so... thanks! Have a great day,
Ryan

Terry,
That is exactly my problem with what is promised by the sales letter. Obviously, if they did "show you exactly where to place the ads" I (and others) wouldn't have spent so much up front trying to figure things out on our own.
Even on the beginner training calls Don Glanville will say, "Pull out your credit card, set it on the desk, and just start plcing ads.... doesn't matter where, just start placing ads where ever you can."
That's not very good advice, but it's the advice they give on evry beginner call... it's always the same.
I'm not bitter, just live and learn and move on... that's all.

Terry, I have found the bonuses that were mentioned on
the bonus page to exist, so we must be in different RFS
systems perhaps...lol
Best to you,
Kim

Strange, I have found Don to give very detailed advice on
where to place ads and how much money to spend on
different sites and why. In fact I even have recordings of
those calls for those in doubt. 
I guess we hear what we want to though.
Cheers,
Kim

Absolutely Ryan. Actually for ezine ads I have been using my
own funded proposal and showing RFS on the back end.
But I can send you some online ads via email.
I sent you a private message the other day, after you find
that, reply with email address to send it to.
Also, you may get ideas on the ad copy from our banners,
and expand from there.
Rock and Roll!
Kim

Right on, Kim!
That is exactly how to use e-zine advertising!
Every time, some opportunity becomes hot, advertising the same
page will bring less and less results.
So, if you don't get to promote it in early stages - you should find
alternative offer and back-end them to the hot one 
You should always use ezines for "targeted list building" instead of
"opportunity announcement" with exception of pre-launches etc.
Sometimes, after several weeks you could send an opportunity announcement again ( with your testimonial), but your results WILL
usually be smaller...
By sending alternative offers (reports, ebooks), you establish
yourself as an expert and can easily suggest 'back end opportunity"
I hope it helps,
Thomas

My son tried a certain targeted traffic source and drove over 10,000 hits to his RFS site. Out of those hits- he had a total of 15 actually go to his second page, not a single opt in to the $ 50 level and not a single sale.
I have had just under 3000 of the exact same source hits go to my site, have 178 to date that opted in to my second page and I have 5 new business affiliates that have joined so far- and 173 different prospects who have shown motivation enough to give me their name, telephone number, email address and time zone that I am talking to and giving to my downline to talk to- and yes, that is an example of how we support our downline- each of these sales I placed on a member of my team's downline as I am not accepting anyone else on my frontline. This just amplifies the kind of difference a "system" can make as well as the philosophy of "paying it forward" to build a deep organization for exponential growth.
I ask you this- which system is duplicatable and predictable? Same source of targeted leads- different websites and different systems- with dramatically different results. No hype at all- just plain ole factual differences in the results. The numbers do not lie in the business world!
Obviously, my son is not very pleased with his progress- while I am!
What a difference a "system" or "approach to this business" can make! The neat thing is each one of my new affiliates is really interested in building a business- how do I know? Because I actually talked to each one!
It is so easy to get passionate about this business when you see those kind of results first hand!
Chad

I'm sorry Chad, I was not aware this thread was here for a
my system is better than yours discussion. I really thought it
was for people to learn about RFS.
Cheers,
Kim

Kim-
I don't understand why you object to me sharing factual information.
The purpose of this discussion is for people to learn what the real facts are. That is all I am doing- sharing facts.
"Business Opportunities and Programs Reviews" is precisely what the label in the forum is- and we are discussing a "program review". I am sorry if you do not like that I and many others are sharing our experiences and those we talk to daily- but that is all we are doing. I have never attacked anyone here, never will- but I have been called names, etc. which is really pretty petty when you get down to it. People are looking at investing in a home business- they come here for information and facts- which is based on real people's experiences. That is all Terry, traveldude, islandman and others are sharing.
Perhaps a review of the very first post would be helpful-
Hello there,
has anyone heard sommething about the Reverse Funnel System of Ty Coughlin?
Any experience or comments?
Regards, Peter
You see- we are simply answering the question Peter and others have.
I happen to think those looking to invest in a business opportunity deserve to know facts before they make their decision. If they choose RFS after knowing all the facts I wish them nothing but the absolute best- but allow them, please to do their due diligence.
Have a wonderful weekend- you can look at a glass as half empty and being drained- or one that is half full and will be filled to the brim and beyond! It is all up to how we frame our minds!

Kim,
I believe Chad IS helping people learn about RFS. His statistics are real and involve the RFS. I'm sure he'll provide a screen-shot to show you exactly what he's talking about.
Why are you trying so hard to hide the facts - or trying to keep the thread so one-sided rather than allowing all views/opinions? Chad has some REAL tangible results that he's sharing. Would you rather he not share this information? If not, is it because this is to be a "pro-RFS only" thread, or because you believe it's going to harm your business because you use the RFS?
Many are here to help people succeed with GRN, Kim. Not to hide the truth solely because we happen to be using that "system".
PS. You know I like you and think you're a great business person, so please don't take this as a personal attack. I just don't know why you keep jumping on Chad when he's the only one actually providing proof and truthful statistics that actually HELP people make an informed decision.
All the best,
Terry

Exactly, that was the question Chad. Thanks for pointing that
out. He did not ask anyone to provide info on team specific
things, just RFS.
Kim

Would it not be better to do so without bringing in other
info that he benefits from Terry?
I never said he should not share his experience, only
not to pitch others on his team while doing so.
Oddly enough, it is only your team here doing that, while
at the same time having a campaign your team vs. RFS.
And RFS is open to all in GRN anyway.
Could we please move forward now?
Kim

Kim- your post confuses me. You know the Inner Circle is just one of many teams out there (who's leaders profit monthly from their downline by charging them $ 300 a month for their back office and the RFS). Anyone analyzing the GRN opportunity deserves to be able to view other ways to build their business- surely we agree on that.
This thread is not about just about presenting the RFS- Peter precisely asks "any experience or comments"? I and many others here are not "pitching" anything. In fact, the pro RFS posters on here are doing precisely that- with sometimes outlandish claims that I know are not based on real facts. I am here for one simple reason- to help people understand the full picture before they make an investment and decision.
The GRN product is a fabulous product. The Comp plan is a fabulous comp plan that rewards going deep and helping others in your downline succeed- precisely the way network marketing is supposed to work. That highlights yet another challenge about the RFS- it is based on people making money solely on their own transactional sales- and as a result does not offer the long term rewards of building a deep organization. There could not be two more different philosophies. I feel it is good for people to have factual information to make their own business choices from. As I have repeatedly said- if they do their due diligence and choose to go the RFS route I wish them nothing but success.
But they do deserve to hear all sides of the issue as they come here for information. I get a bundle of private messages each day thanking me for sharing objective, factual information. It is all good and that is definitely a positive way to "move forward" in life- if you help enough others get what they want in life, anything you want or need will come back to you!
Make it a great day!

Chad, I like you buddy...but I am afraid you are totally confused ;-(
RFS's only philosophy is to eliminate "phone calling and talking to
pretty much anybody who felt like to put their name on your site...
That's IT, my friend! It's about screening people before you pick up
the phone. If you don't screen those people, you exposing yourself
to "spit swaping" match with any tire kicker out there...
Trust me Chad , I can go through 100's of names to find "diamonds",
but majority of "new" people will get beat up and quit... probably
missing a great chance to benefit from home based business!
I spent hours and hours prospecting on the phone and I know how
hard it can be on new people. You know those questions: how much
did you make, how many people are in your group etc..
I don't care about those questions and I won't be intimidated because
I am a six figure earner and have been working for myself all my
adult life (25+ years). I am NOT the one who feels out forms.
Those questions are irrelevant to me... I only care how they answer
my questions...
So, what does it have to do with Revers Funnel System?
Everything..
A new person doesn't have to have my experience
So, once again - RFS was designed to perform certain tasks and it
does perform them well. If you want you can build it wide, deep,
straight line, power legs or a combination... your choice!
You don't have to belong to any team to use RFS and you don't
have to belong to any team to build deep or give up some personal
sponsorships... There is nothing new to it. you can do pretty much
anything you want...
I use RFS to only deal with highly qualified people, not to generate
as many prospects as possible... That is the ONLY difference in
philosophies here
Besides, RFS can be used with any company and any payplan, so
by nature would not be affected by any possible changes...
However, how you build it after people go through is up to you.
I hope, this clarifies few things.
To your prosperity,
Thomas

Let me clarify Thomas... I am absolutely clear on what works and what does not.
oh, and just for the record- I am absolutely not confused in any way as to the proper method to make a great deal of money in this business- my prior reference as to being confused was only as to kim's post trying to keep me from posting the factual information I have about the RFS.
You guys want to TRY to discredit people who share REAL results like you think you can intimidate us in the process and drive us away with name calling, etc. Well, it simply cannot be done. We take the high road, the road to attraction of people that are positive minded, so attack if you think that is a good way to do things... it simply isn't.
We do agree on a difference of philosophies here... nothing could be more clear than that fact. We believe it is better to actually talk to a person before they spend a dime. The RFS does not. We believe it is important to build deep into your downline- which might mean forgiving " right now" profits... the RFS is all about having people opt in regardless of whether a soul has ever talked to them. RFS promises things it does not deliver- like the 6-7 income streams they promised my son- oh, but wait, there are no more income streams than GRN itself, are there?
Not a single word I ever post is meant to intimidate anyone, whatsoever. My posts are totally based on facts and not emotionally based like some on these forums. I am a successful business person who has founded 6 different businesses that are award winning. That is not to brag- when you do the right thing with your clients, recoginition finds you. It may just be the most telling testimonial as to the truth when that happens. Clients and raving fans- and in our business those affilitiates that join us and their own clients- are what really matters. Right?
I have chosen GRN as a great business opportunity, simply put. I enjoy sharing the truth with those that see the same opportunity.
Seeking the best of the best is what I love.... and helping them to succeed with real and tangible support!

Chad, I see that you are confused.
RFS is for everyone in GRN, not a team exclusive thing,
like you are comparing and promoting.
I too have an awesome system for people to use
within our team AFL, but that is not the topic here.
We also have priceless possibilities for those in GRN,
but that is not the topic here.
It's great for you to share your experience, but please
know there are many people RFS is helping, and I think
Thomas posted well on why that is. So, those people
will obviously post here about that, and I'm sure have
no problem reading other's experiences's that were not
good for whatever reason, but they are only coming
from your team, with a convenient solution.
We all have are respected teams outside of RFS, but
there is no need to go into that here. I think when
Peter asked for comments, he meant comments on
RFS, that is all this thread really is about, and to bring
up what your team offers distracts from that.
Posting your personal experience, even if it was negative
for you is perfectly ok, people expect to hear both sides.
And people in RFS may comment why it didn't work for
you and that's ok too.
Maybe you spent too much too quickly and did not give
it long enough to see the results of the money you put it.
May I ask how long you used it? Would you also comment
if you would start a new business and throw a bunch of
money into it and then give up in a short time?
Could we discuss those kind of issue's in a RFS thread?
If readers want to look at other options, our signature
file with our websites provide that for them.
Cheers,
Kim

Chad, we did no such thing.
Maybe you did not completely understand RFS when using,
but they did say other income streams would be introduced
later on.
It's appears you have ulterior motives, and I'm not going to continue with you on RFS any longer.
Best to you in GRN,
Kim
