SFS – For and Against – a balance of views
Opinions, as we have said before now, are like belly buttons, everybody has one!!!
Here are three opinions on the Streamline Funnel System.
The first opinion and advice, is from a professional networker with many years experience in internet marketing :
-
Personal selling, convincing, and explaining: ELIMINATED
-
Cold-calling, selling to your friends and family: ELIMINATED
-
Long learning curves, frustration and struggle: ELIMINATED
-
Mickey-Mouse home based money games: NEVER AGAIN!
-
Tiny residual income checks: NEVER AGAIN!
There are two fees associated with becoming a Member of SFS:
One is to purchase that program for $9.99 and we will include a 3-day
introduction of the SFS system. After the 3 days are up, if you wish to
remain a member of SFS, you will be charged the regular membership fee.
There is a monthly membership fee of $39.96. You may also choose the
optional additional lead packages from within SFS.

The information we gather and how we use it

Although you may not “opt out” of the registration process if you wish to
become a Member or an independent Affiliate, you may choose to “opt out”
of receiving promotional materials not directly related to services provided

If you do not “opt out” of receiving such promotional materials, we reserve

regarding you to third parties who provide goods or services that we believe
may be of interest to you. If you decide that you would like to discontinue
receiving promotional information from such third parties, please contact
those third parties directly, or contact us at support@streamlinefunnelsystem.com
and we will advise such third parties that you wish to discontinue receiving
their promotional information. Note, however, that we cannot and do not assume
any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the
manner in which they use information received either from SFS or independently.
**** End of Terms and Conditions extract ****
So if you did join in pre-launch and notice an increase in s-p-a-m, I would
opt-out of their list, and then do what they suggest – i.e. email
support@streamlinefunnelsystem.com and ask them to advise any third parties
they have passed your information on to that you wish to discontinue receiving
their promotional information. “
Among other things, it mentioned some bad reports about the owner,
Paul Birdsall. I took that with a grain of salt, as what people
write about other people on forums etc is not necessarily true.
But I’m sorry to say that after reviewing all the videos and audios
about SFS, I have come to the conclusion that I do need to warn you
about this program too.
I’m not sure about Paul Birdsall himself – you can google his name
and decide for yourself what you think. He was involved with Webprosperity,
which again I know nothing about personally, but has also had some bad reports.
But here’s what I think about SFS now:
On the surface it sounds good (don’t they all!) but when you listen
to what we will actually receive, rather than what they are promising
as potential, this is what it boils down to:
When SFS launches on July 7th everyone who wants to participate will
pay $9.95 (or $9.97 0r $9.99, I’m not sure) to become active. I think this will
be a monthly fee. As far as I can tell no-one makes any money out of
this, apart from the founders. I have asked about this, but have had
no reply to my question.
What you are promised at this stage is that SFS will send your SFS link
to 10,000 exclusive and targeted leads. The only way you will make money
is if any of your personally sponsored SFS members, or any of the leads
who join SFS under you, buy the additional leads packages they will be
offering.
The only way for you to make money from the large downline number that
shows as being under you in the back office that I could find is this
quote from Paul in one of the audios:
“You will be paid off of every person where the person under them gets
paid.”
I believe the commissions on these lead packages are 50%, so with the
commissions set at $50, $95 and $185 the cost to buy these packages must
be $100, $190 and $370. This will make it a lot harder to make money
than if someone is only paying $9.95! I also wonder if the amount of
leads required can be supplied by SFS – both at launch time and for
the additional packages.
The other thing is that the 10,000 leads are not ours – they belong to
Paul Birdsall – he will just be marketing our SFS links to them.
The only leads you will actually have access to will be the ones who
join SFS under your link. These will be the only leads you will be able
to market any other program to yourself.
So after all that, I have decided not to pay the money at launch time.
It is up to you, but I recommend you keep your money too, as I don’t
believe we will be getting much value for it.
Again, sorry to put a damper on this, but better to know before you
line someone else’s pocket than after
