What is Prostep?

Prostep is a lead generating company. They're whole job is finding people looking for home-business, money-making opportunities.

They then sell these leads to people, like us, offering opportunities.


Why you want to use Prostep

Because it works!

When we mail to Prostep leads, we get new Affiliates EVERY TIME! Lots of them! EVERY week!

And when those Affiliates become members who get on 100BV autoship, you can qualify for LFI's RISING STAR bonus, which has been worth as much as $260. That's an extra couple hundred dollars ON TOP of your regular commissions.

Prostep leads give you a consistent, easy, effective way to build your Powerlines.

The secret to success with Prostep leads is repetition over time.   The longer we stay with Prostep, the better it works. You'll see how in a moment.


How much does it cost?

To use Prostep, you pay a one-time, $99 fee to get a Pro-Pak -- great training on network marketing.

Then you pay a monthly fee for your leads. $135 gets you 150 leads. $280 gets you 400 leads. $550 gets you 1050 leads (this includes a $10 charge for receiving leads online).  

You get a number of other valuable benefits with your Prostep membership.

In each batch of leads about 80% +/- 10% have valid email addresses.

You can upgrade to higher lead packages at any time.

You can also buy batches of 1000 leads (with 60% +/- 10% email addresses) for only $150.


How you can get your leads FREE

Prostep is it's own MLM. It pays you for the people you refer to Prostep.

When you have only 3 people that you have referred to Prostep on the same lead package you're on, the monthly commission you receive equals the your cost!

Your leads are free!

NOTE: We are NOT recommending or using Prostep as a secondary MLM. It's really almost an unfortunate coincidence that they are an MLM.  And, to keep things fair within 6FI...


Who can I tell about it?

You can only tell people that YOU PERSONALLY ENROLLED about Prostep!

You can tell who you personally enrolled them in two ways:

  1. Look at the processing code of your incoming Welcome Affiliate emails. If your 6FI ID is the 1st number in that code, you referred that person.
  2. Go to the Powerline display page at www.sixfigureincome.com/members/ and select the "enrolled" display option (this is only available to Members).

This way, we maintain the 6FI and LFI downline structure and are not competing with 6FI in any way.


How do I use it?

Once you're signed up, it's this easy:

  1. Go to the Prostep website and have your leads emailed to you
  2. Use mailing software to send an ad, pointing people to your 6FI URL
  3. Get rid of the email addresses of people who don't want to, or shouldn't hear from you again
  4. Repeat this every week!
  5. Add your new batch of leads each month
  6. Keep going!

1) Getting your leads (first time)

When you sign up with Prostep, you'll request to receive your leads online.

Prostep will give you an ID# and tell you when you can get your leads.

To get your leads, go to www.prostepinc.com

Go to the Members section (follow the instructions for entering your ID and selecting a password).

Go to the "Download your leads" section.

Select the Current Month and Year, select the "Comma Delimited Text with Headers" format, and check the "Get leads with email addresses only" and "email my leads" options.

Prostep will send you a file with all your leads in it.


2) The software to use

I don't recommend using your regular email software with Prostep names... it's too hard to copy and paste all the email addresses into the "bcc:" field (but if you have, to that's one way to do it).

There are a number of programs specifically designed for doing this kind of emailing.

My favorite is WorldMerge. WorldMerge is only $40 and works like a charm. Click here to get a copy.

Using WorldMerge is a piece of cake: You start the program and it walks you through creating your mailing project -- you select the list you want to mail to (the file Prostep just sent you), you select the message you want to send (the one I'm about to give you), and you click on "Broadcast Send."

WorldMerge then mails to all your Prostep leads in minutes!


2a) The message to mail

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
This is NOT spam! You received this email because you contacted Prostep about an income opportunity. If you DO NOT want to receive future email, send an email to the following address: mailto:me@mydomain.com?subject=NoProstep and you will be PROMPTLY removed from our list. Thank you.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>


2b) Remove instructions

At the bottom of the message, you see the remove instructions... change them so they have YOUR email address.

If you have your own domain name, you can use an address like "nopro@mydomain.com" to make finding the remove requests easier.


3) Processing removes and Affiliates

You DO NOT want to mail to people who do not want to, or need to, hear from you.

WorldMerge has a simple feature that lets you avoid mailing to these people, the "exclude list."

If you select "exclude list" from the file menu, you'll see a file that you can edit.

  1. Put in the email addresses of anyone who asked to be removed
  2. Put in the email addresses that were returned as undeliverable
  3. Go through your Welcome Affiliate emails and find the Prostep leads that signed up... put them in here too (if you use a tracking code in your outgoing ad, you'll be able to identify these people).
  4. Save the file.
  5. Do this before you mail to your Prostep leads again.

4) Mailing again

You can mail to your Prostep Leads every 7-14 days!

Some people mail every Friday. Some mail on Sunday nights. Others lean toward Wednesdays. I can't tell you which works best. You can experiment and find out.

I mail the same ad each time. Some people mail a different ad each week, rotating between 2-4 ads. It's up to you.

The reason you can keep mailing is that:

  1. It can take 5-7 exposures until someone responds to an ad.
      
  2. People's situations change. They may not be interested in your offer today, but in a month, or two or three, it could be JUST the right time.

5) Adding your new leads (each month)

Each month, when you get your new batch of Prostep leads, you have to do one extra step before you mail again... namely, you combine these leads with your previous batch:

  1. Open the file with the new leads.
  2. Select the entire file and copy them (press Ctrl-C or go to the Edit menu and select Copy).
  3. Open the FIRST Prostep file you received.
  4. Go to the end of that file.
  5. PASTE the new leads into that file (press Ctrl-V or go to the Edit menu and select Paste).
  6. Save that file.

6) Repeat

Keep going! Each month, you'll be adding hundreds of new leads to your list. Your list gets more and more powerful the more you use it.

Rich Strayer's list is big enough that each time he mails, he gets 30-60 new Affiliates!


An AMAZING way to make THOUSANDS FAST

Now that you know a way to bring in lots of Affiliates, week after week, click here to discover the fastest way I know to turn those leads into THOUSANDS of dollars each month. This is a simple system you can use to build a BIG business FAST.


Sign up for Prostep (or get more info)

To get the forms you need to sign up for Prostep, click here.

You'll be asked for your Sponsor's ID. It's the PROSTEP ID# of the person who told you about this site. It's your 6-Figure ENROLLER's Prostep ID.

If your 6-Figure enroller is NOT IN Prostep, do two things:

  1. Tell him or her that you're signing up in ProStep and tell them that if they do the same, they'll not only have a POWERFUL tool to build their business, but they'll get a commission from you!
  2. Go further upline, to your Team Leader and tell them the same thing.
  3. If neither of them want to sign up, use Steven Sashen's Prostep ID - 9769.

NOTE: If you are in Prostep and you find out that someone in your downline has signed up using this ID, email me and we'll try to get them moved under you. It's our goal to keep downline integrity.


Getting your leads FREE

Now that you're in ProStep, tell everyone in your downline that you PERSONALLY ENROLLED. Point them to this site. Get them onboard.

Once you have 3 people first level to you on ProStep, you're leads are FREE -- and you have 3 active members who are not only building THEIR business, but helping build yours!
