A “FUNDED PROPOSAL”
is something of obvious high value
that you sell to your ideal prospects for a small price
using an automated sales funnel for the purpose
of building a strong prospect list while at the
same time generating more income that
be used to scale up your marketing.”
An strong Funded Proposal is the key component of any effective online sales funnel system. You will make more money, make it faster and easier if you have a Funded Proposal that sells well.
The ideal Funded Proposal is a product with high real value to your ideal prospects, but very low cost so that you can sell it for much less than it’s worth to your ideal prospects. This allows you to “lead with value” and earn not just commissions, but also respect and trust, from the 90% of your prospects who will never join your primary business or buy your products. It’s a way to MONETIZE your list as you BUILD your list.
Most new marketers make the mistake of trying to sell their primary opportunity or their product BEFORE they have established any kind of relationship. And then if the prospect doesn’t join or buy, they never follow up or stay in touch.
Remember, nobody likes to be “sold”… but they love to BUY.
Its like a guy asking a girl to marry him on the first date. It might work once in a while, but not often… and he will almost certainly miss the best prospects 
According to SalesForce.com, only 3% of your prospects are ready to buy right now. Another 10% will consider buying now, and 63% will buy within one year if you stay in touch in a professional manner. 82% will buy within 2 years if you stay in touch.
A Funded Proposal allows you to build a relationship FIRST and collect their real email address so you can stay in touch using an auto-responder (automated email system) that will drip on them and bring them back when they are ready to do business with you.
It’s called a “Funded Proposal” because buying it is a “no-brainer” for almost everyone in your target market, so you have a high conversion rate and lots of small sales. The small commissions you earn on those small sales more than covers your advertising costs, so you end up with two big benefits…
Benefit #1: Your advertising is more than paid for, so that you xxxxxxxxxxhave a new and possibly substantial stream of income.
Benefit #2: You now have a list of individuals who have demonstrated
xxxxxxxxxxthat they are interested in your business or product by
xxxxxxxxxxactually spending money, and who trust you enough to xxxxxxxxxxbuy something from you. Good list, eh?
CHOOSING YOUR FUNDED PROPOSAL
Choosing your funded proposal is pretty easy. There are three important considerations. First, ask yourself if YOU think the price is insignificant compared to the real value of the offer. In other words, is it a “no-brainer” for you? If not, you won’t be very effective in promoting it.
Secondly, is there a high converting “sales funnel” already in place so you don’t have to create the thing, you just have to drive it. This should include compelling sales videos, order page with payment processing, and most importantly, a done-for-you lead capture and follow up system. In other words, you want a complete system, not just a product. And it needs to be SIMPLE to use so it doesn’t take much knowledge or time.
And finally, there needs to be complete training on how to use your Funded Proposal system, along with a great support team and a community of like minded individuals (because you really can’t do this alone… it’s a ‘team game’).
If you’re in the business of info marketing, or network marketing online, the best Funded Proposal is Empower Network because it has everything in place and ready for you:
- No-brainer $25 product (this done-for-you blog)
- Done-for-you Sales Funnel and Sales Videos
- 100% commissions
- Recurring monthly income
- High value follow-on products with 100% commissions also => BIG CHECKS
- Great training online marketing training from real pros and a warm community of like-minded people.
- SIMPLE… anyone can do it… even you and me
There is nothing even close in terms of the PERFECT Funded Proposal for info marketers or network marketers.
That’s why Empower Network is growing so fast. As of yesterday, EN was 4 months and 6 days old, and we have already paid out over $3.9 MILLION in commissions to regular folks like you and me. (I have been in profit since my 3rd day with EN despite not putting much time in until recently.)
If you’re already part of the EN community, be sure you’ve completed all 7 steps in the Fast Start Training and that you’re plugged in to the community by listening to the Inner Circle audios and the Empower Hour calls.
If you you’re not part of the community yet, you can take care of that here and join now for just $25. I’d be honored to have you on my team, and I’ve got some special marketing goodies coming up for our group.
NEXT STEP
Once your Funded Proposal is in place, the next step is to get your ideal prospects to find your landing page. That’s called Online Marketing or Internet Marketing.
There is very high quality training inside Empower Network that will help you understand how to make money in any business using the tremendous power and reach of the Internet, but if you’re new you may want some very specific instruction on how to get yourself set up to do business.
I arranged for a friend to let me offer his 5 day training program absolutely free. It shows you in specific detail how to set up your own capture page for your Funded Proposal, where and how to get it ‘hosted’ on the Internet, and how to start driving highly qualified prospects to your offers. You can check it out here.
In summary, a Funded Proposal is the gateway to a profitable and exciting online business that can provide income at whatever level you choose to play.
So THINK BIGGER, and MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!
