your honesty is commendable! 
Quoting: vernon dillon and as an added bonus we are temporarily going to be mailing out 40,000 leads per day as a thank you for your patients.
a real thank you would be to NOT charge their members until the system is working properly.

Hi everyone, just thought I would provide an update on the autoresponder system. As of right now, I have received 8 opt-ins to my WCYS system from the approx. 20,000 emails that were indicated to have been sent.
This is encouraging to me since they are the very first opt-ins I have ever received since signing up over a month ago.
Everything seems to be functioning OK..I did make some minor modifications to the email messages to better reflect the WCYS system.
Feel free to contact me if you would like more details about how the system is working right now.
Dawn

hi there dadzathome just for my info who are you i dont remember seeing your name before what is your real name . are you with funtime. part of what you are saying is correct and i truly appologize for the auto responder system needing to work. we are working hard to get things back to normal. its easy to be someone sitting in the stands and gossiping about the players on the field that are actualy doing the work. the auto responder is just one of the many tools we provide.you have failed to talk about all the other benifits that funtime has to offer. you mention your down line are they sitting at home depending on there computor. if the only thing they are doing is depending on there auto responder they are not consentrating on a well rounded program. lots of people are signing up for funtime because of all the other great business opportunities that we have so telling people not to join is just plain wrong . please let me know who you are i will personaly call you. all over the internet people are saying that it is getting harded to make money on just your computor . so thats why people all over the world are seeing the light and creating a well rounded business.how many people in your down line are truly making money on the internet. thanks for your time and i hope i here from you soon so i can call you and we can talk .

Well,it got your attention. Don't kill the messenger, fix the problem. I am simply pointing out the problem with FTV autoresponder. I am a member of FTV. And to apologize for the auto responder needing to work, maybe something more than an appology is due to the members. We were told that you would be sending out 40,000 emails per day to compensate the members. The post before yours stated that this member only got approx 20,0000 what about the other 20,000. This is a forum where prospective members come for education.Quoting: dawnmo This is encouraging to me since they are the very first opt-ins I have ever received since signing up over a month ago.
This is what your members are saying, they have been with the company for over a month and these are the FIRST optins she is receiving. It is not the fault of this member but she still paid for the service. These problems have been pointed out and there is always an excuse 24-36-48-96 hours. These posts also mention that their are people just like me who joined FTV for only the autoresponder. If it doesn't work it is useless to us. Go back thru this forum and you will see the majority of the comments are specific to the Autoresponder. Can you state for the record that the autoresponder is working for all your members?If the answer is no then Quoting: vernon dillon we are working hard to get things back to normal
directly contradicts this quoteQuoting: vernon dillon we tested this new system and it works great
The point of this post is for information, some of your members are not getting the service that they are paying for and for a new member to get the service mentioned above is just plain wrong to use your words.
If it is still getting worked out then maybe efforts should be made to remedy the problem instead of hunting down the messenger. Also note that on the bottom of each of my messages I have stated that WHEN the Autoresponder works it is a great tool.
With me you get both sides, you may not get the name but you get the point. I am sure we all are looking forward to this issue being resolved.

Update from my Autoresponder account,
I have received 5 optins to my WCYS this morning so it appears that things are starting to work.
Now, the major test will be if we keep on getting these over the next couple of days. That is the only problem I have had as far as the Autoresponder is concerned. There has been VERY inconsistant results. Now that the AR has been outsourced to another company maybe it will run smoother becuase it will lightent the load on the programming personel and make their job easier. The AutoResponder is definately 99% of the reason I joined FTV. When it works properly I have received over 30 optins to my WCYS backoffice in a single day. That is AMAZING! So I want this system to work BIG TIME!
Rusty, you mention a well balanced business. I would agree that for people who have an outgoing personality, such as yourself, being able to deal with clients face to face is a HUGE asset. BUT, there are some who simply don't have the time or the personality to do the face to face thing for various reasons. That's why the Autoresponder is such a big deal to us, especially in WCYS. Our call center allows those people who can't or don't want to sell a way to let someone else do the selling for them. I received several good leads from the funtime system and plan on staying if the AR can prove to be consistant over the next 2 or 3 days. These leads get put directly into my WCYS back office which is an invaluable benefit of the AR as long as it is working.
The unlimited travel vouchers are great, too, if you have the time and gumption to go and sell or pass them out to the right places. They are definately more reliable than some of the Coasatl vouchers because they are booked in house and they don't have any blackout dates.
Again, for me, the AutoResponder is the main benefit to having a FTV membership, because it will promote my business on autopilot when it's working the way it's supposed to. And, me, Bill and Noreen, and Dawn will be the first ones to jump up on the roof and scream "JOINT FUNTIME, IT's WORKING FOR US!" When all of these things ger ironed out.
For the record, I'm not "dadzathome". lol

Rusty, we all have our alias' (Vernon) My name is Bill Decker. I have been a member of FTV for 2 full months and have personally called you about the autoresponder situation . You told me that the Auto responder was not your perview it was Glens. We all want the same results, it would appear that the issue , the autoresponder is beginning to function properly. I joined for the Autoresponder along with Harold and we have both been experiencing the same problems and have spoken with Glen directly, repeatedly. We got the same response. This way was sure to get the attention that it deserved and to make people considering the program and using this forum to become educated about it to take a wait and see attitude. If you feel the need to contact me directly you have my number. It is also worth noting that with each post I ended it by saying that when the Autoresponder is working it is teriffic.

I too have been frustrated with the problems at FTV and the A/R. Many of the people that have posted in this forum are part of my team so if they are unhappy im unhappy as well. I have had numerous talks with Rusty , Dana and Glen and even had a sit down with them yesterday. I hope that they see the problems we are all having and fix them. I have been one of the biggest advocates of FTV as the system and opportunity has great merits. To list a few here they are:
1- 40k leads for $299
2- Residual income
3- Travel vouchers to market at retail
This is why I joined. Each and every reason I mentioned is good enough in itself to be the reason to be in FTV. With a well rounded business all cyclinders should be working and if one doesnt it needs to be fixed asap. As Harold stated very eloquently many people rely on autoresponders. Now they arent always the most reliable method all the time but are still a viable option in running a business. If you have other obligations an A/R can be your best friend. I for one can go out in the public and market vouchers but havent to a great extent yet as I chose to build my residual income by building a team. When you have a team you are guaranteed a monthly residual income and with all the problems I have seen that income dwindle very quickly. My teammates are dropping like flies. I hope that FTV fixes this problem so I can continue to build as opposed to putting out fires left and right. I have been patient and have given FTV the benefit of the doubt but like everyone else my patience is running thin.
As I am always one to be vocal when the problem is fixed I will gladly come out and express that as adamantly as I always do.

OK, folks, I always said that if Funtime was working I would be the first to let everyone know. Well, as of 11pm on Aug. 30 I have received 72....scratch that, another one just came in, 73 opt ins to my WeCloseYourSales back office in just one day! This is individual opt ins not counting the people who clicked the link multiple times. Now, I know this is extraordinary and I don't look for this to stay this way but this many people responding to my specific message, which I changed to meet my needs, is just AMAZING. If things can keep working like this then I will be happy. The move to "Maxsponder" was a smart move, guys. Let's just keep things moving smoothly and I will have my whole team on this program.

I second that. But I ONLY got 43 optins. Not bad for one day!! I have also noticed that may people click through 4-5 times which is a very good sign. Harold has the right idea by changing his message. We are going to do that today to really target leads so we know what they are even more qualified when they click thru.
Between this and Contact Talk, I am really excited about the direction our business is taking. This combination is really attractive to people just starting out with Coastal because they will immediately get traffic in to their site. I think this will be a big motivator for those who get frustrated in the begining because they are not getting a healthy response from PPC or classifieds. Don't get me wrong, I am still doing PPC but with FTV, you are getting immediate action. I think that is something new people are looking for - to get their business off to a quick start.
So far so good. Stay tuned for more information!

Dawn,
26 optins is a great day! Did you change your message yet? After closer look at the letter, you should probably do that ASAP. Not that the letter is bad or anything, but look in to changing it today.

hi there everyone i am realy happy that things are looking up. thanks for the great posts. glenn and dana will be working all weekend to load everyone into our new servers so by sunday everyone will be up and going strong. this wasnt easy the new features on this program is why it is doing so well. we are one of a handful of companys that can mail to ...AOL...HOTMAIL....thats why you are able to get so many leads. we have to have a server for every 20 people to insure no down time and we have to pre scrub every email for spam before they get loaded. in the end as you can see the effort is worth it. ....something new............
for the last 3 months i have been working on purchasing my own phone room in florida. it is a 24 seat room that will be selling funtime vacation packages and generating real time biz op leads. as part of the pitch the customer will be asked if they would be interested in a travel business opportunity. i am trying to figure out the best way to use those incredable leads. there will be hundreds per day. please give me your thoughts

Vernon I have a suggestion what to do with these incredible leads. You can GIVE them to your members who have been paying for a service that due to no fault of your own did not get the service they were paying for over the last couple of months. I am sure the membership would all be receptive to that.
On a positive note I can also say that I am very pleased with the traffic I am receiving as a result of the NEW Autoresponder. I appreciate the hard work your team has done to make this a reality.
Enjoy the holiday weekend, If you are interested I have some great deals on a trip to Florida or Vagas, only $265 for 2 airfare and accomodation included...See you at the beach

Im ecstatic that you guys have begun to have the system work for you. I know you all are part of WCYS and from the management at FTV they said your system would be fixed first. I cant wait for my members from CSG and then COA to start getting the same results. As you guys are getting results i can wait for you to let your other teammates know so they can start to join as well and you can begin to see your residual income grow. As I begin to see results ill let you all know.
Adam

I for one know my team Bill included would be ecstatic to receive those leads. Many would truly benefit from it and it would be a great step in bringing all the members that have been patient the past few months back to the table in reference to promoting what in my opinion is one of the best programs out there ( when it works smoothly). Again we thank you Rusty for coming on the forum and addressing the members. When management takes the time to show that they are truly concerned with what is being said about their program it only makes everything work itself out. I for one look forward to all my team ( the ones in CWB, CSG, COA, and WYCS plus all the news one ill be bringing in from other organizations) getting as many opt in leads as possible and making the money they are all looking to make.
Adam

I was refering to the FTV Certificate E. The fly and stay to Orlando, Reno or Vegas. I was not aware that there were problems with booking that. It pays to know your product.

there is no problem booking that vacation i was thinking you had something else that wasnt funtime............in the future the phone rooms will be making more sales than we can proccess. we are going to be looking for directors that have a merchant account to do proccessing and get a large part of the sale. this will be a realy good income generator not to mention the leads.in other words you will make a large commission for just proccessing the sale.
