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 :

” You MUST watch Paul Birdsall’s Video on the landing page. No argument please as it tells you “exactly” what you are paying out and what you get back…

If you (like me) have been marketing for some time you will understand what a challenge it is.
So isn’t it great to have the things listed below totally eliminated from your business effort?
  • 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’s a number of personal videos on the landing page made by people who have been
helping Paul to test out the StreamlineFunnel System. We all have our preferences but for me
there are 3 videos that stand-out. They are by:-
|
Terry Rottman – Ontario
Jackie Aellen – Alberta
Francis Leary – Nova Scotia

Frankly I am pleased that there is a real cost to this business!! I was always wondering HOW
we could make decent money off a subscription of just $9.99. Okay, there was (still is) the option
to purchase additional lead-packs but again I wondered how many people would go ahead and
make a purchase!! With a cost of $39.99 they are able to run the program and pay out good
commissions….. $9 plus $15 per month per member is worth going for!
|
We need to consider that this week saw some of the Internet’s Top Marketers (names) join
Streamline – people who can bring in teams of thousands. They need to see that the business
has the ability to pay them and their members a worthwhile return on cash outlay. The $9.99
subscription patently would not do this. The $39.99 subscription WILL do this. We are ALL
in business to make money and you can put in the same amount of effort to make peanuts or
to make a nice income. The $39.99 gives us the ability to make a nice income!
|
So take time to understand the information and to watch the videos on the “landing” page. And
be sure to register and attend the Webinars as they give you all the up-to-date information.

A last thought! To start-up and run any home-business or high-street business has a cost. Indeed
a franchise will cost you upwards of £10,000. Even AAN has a minimum $100 commitment and
Quatro €195. I truly believe that the  Streamline Funnel System is great value for money, especially now we
can make an awesome monthly residual income.
|
The average cost to join any of the older networks is over $200 and less than 3% of people make
a decent living off them. Why? Because they cannot market, they cannot sell and they cannot
sponsor. The Streamline Funnel System takes all this away – they do it for us!! That plus the income to be made must be worth $39.99!!
|
Go for it. “

The second opinion comprises a collection of less than flattering comments and observations from various sources:

Fees
|
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.

Refund Policy

|
All sales are final.  There will be absolutely NO REFUNDS.
Before deciding to make a purchase, please be sure you understand
the terms and conditions.  We do not offer refunds.

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
by us and our affiliates, advertisers, or other business partners.
If you do not “opt out” of receiving such promotional materials, we reserve
the right to share any personally identifiable registration information
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. “

“A warning about SFS was received from my upline the other day.
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 :-)

Third opinion, our observations:
|
If we received 0.25-0.5% of the 10,000 leads every time we made a purchase of 10,000 leads,  we would be very satisfied to work with these prospects to introduce them to those of our passive investments still available. 10,000 leads we could not handle but 25-50 really goods ones is another proposition altogether.
|
By way of doing some quick due diligence within the time available prior to launch we signed up for Paul’s 7day Boot Camp series of tutorials which we found very informative and a logical approach to marketing on the Internet. Paul’s delivery was always very fluid, enthusiastic, humorous and well structure from day to day.
|
He certainly exudes the confidence of someone who is successful in their chosen field and so far as demonstrating that he can assemble lists of interested prospects, he has just assembled 35-40K of us in around 10days QED.
|
We had a sponsorship issue with a number of our introductions and his support team dealt with this very fast and efficiently, once it was brought to the attention of the right members of his team.
|
Our recommendation is to join, with the comfort of the $20 double back guarantee.  Listen attentively to the videos that form the three day course of instruction and then make a decision whether you invest in the monthly payment of $39.95 or not.
|
We have already signed up for the monthly payment via another of Paul’s programmes which conveniently merges with the SFS opportunity. This will enable us to provide from time to time details of our experience and the performance of the whole bang shooting match.
|
First and foremost we seek prospects for the passive investments that we invest in and monitor, to expand these for the benefit of TeamTHEMCO, but we are interested to experiencing what Paul maintains he can do for us all.
|
Remember we have pledged all the profit to be used to assist members with our existing passive investments, so we of course hope that Paul puts his money where his mouth is and comes up with the goods.
