You can now choose between sorting by our advanced smart sorting option.
How Smart Sort Option Works:

This one of a kind smart sort technology factors the current time of day, your timezone, your contacts timezones, the time your contact said they would like a call, the acceptable time to call contacts,  and the date that you last called your contacts to determine the most efficient order to call your contacts. The order is based on who has been waiting the longest for a call.

Prospects are also shown in different colors to display how appropriate the time is to call them.
Green: Prospect Requested to be called at this time!
Yellow: Prospect is within and acceptable 9 to 9 calling time.

Blue: The System cannot determine the prospects timezone
Red: The Prospect is not within an acceptable time to call

or you can use the way you were used to in home office pro 1 and order by date aquired.
How Date Aquired Option Works:

This sort is ordered from most recent contact to oldest contact.

Prospects are also shown in different colors to display how appropriate the time is to call them.
Green: Prospect Requested to be called at this time!
Yellow: Prospect is within and acceptable 9 to 9 calling time.

Blue: The System cannot determine the prospects timezone
Red: The Prospect is not within an acceptable time to call

sorting by date aquired will also give you the ability to use Next / Prev buttons to scroll though your contacts.

The To-Do list is built into three areas in your Home Office Pro system:

Each type of prospect has their own benefits and shortfalls, and each can be gained in different ways.

Warm Prospects are, in general, someone you are familiar with such as a friend or family member. A Warm prospect may also be someone who is familiar with you and your product or who has been referred to you by someone else. Though you have not met this person, they are already interested in what you are offering. Friends, family members and referrals are considered warm prospects because they are more likely to be warmed up to what you are offering and will be more apt to listen to what you have to say.

Friends and Family members as warm leads, however, can lead to future friends and family issues if they become dissatisfied. You want to make sure that you do not hound your friends and family members with sales pitches or call you auntie’s cousin’s niece and all her distant relatives that you haven’t spoken to in years just to pitch your product. This could lead to disgruntled family members or to you becoming that friend at parties that no one will admit to inviting.

Referrals are the best way to obtain warm leads. You can gain referrals from many different methods. There are three main types of referrals: Personal Referrals, Impersonal Referrals, and Cold Referrals.

A Personal Referral has been sent in your direction by someone else you are working with or someone who works as part of the same business or organization. These prospects are usually already knowledgeable about the information you will be trying to give them. Because of this, it is always best to touch base with their referrer first to see what they have discussed to avoid any miss-information.

Impersonal Referrals are prospects who have been sent your way from some one who is not in your line of work but believes you can help the person they are referring. Handing out business cards is a great and inexpensive way to get these types of referrals. When someone gives you their business card, give them one of yours right back. Also, remember to return the favor and thank the person who referred the prospect, even if things didn’t work out. This will build a referral relationship and encourage the referrer to send more prospects your way in the future.

The last type of referral is the Cold Referral. The cold referral is the prospect who sits in between warm prospects and cold prospects. A Cold Referral is, in fact, a prospect – on – edge. How you approach this type of contact will make all the difference.

Cold Referral prospects are referred to you through advertising you have put out and have contacted you to learn more. You can gain cold referrals through newspaper advertising, an online survey on your website, Google Adwords and other interactive marketing sources. These sources promote the prospect to take action and contact you if, and only if, they are truly interested in learning more. These sources do not hide what type of information the prospect will be presented with and give clear definitions on the product or services you are offering.

Clear: Click here to see example

Unclear: Click here to see example

The clear version tells you that you are joining a mailing list and the types of emails you can expect to receive when you join. It also mentions that there will be links to recommended services or products in the emails, but that there is no obligation to buy them. The call to action on this form is to sign up if, and only if, you are interested in learning about marketing your business online. The unclear version has a strong call to action by stating it is a limited time offer so you should sign up immediately. The copy of the page pushes the visitor to sign up or be left out. The problem is that the page keeps the reason for signing up hidden and secret. There is no clear definition of what you are signing up for, except that you might learn my super secret method. For all the visitor knows, my super secret method may be crossing my fingers and spinning in my office chair three times.

If a contact fills out a form on a website that is not explicitly clear on what they are signing up for, when you contact this prospect they may become confused, uncertain, unwilling to listen or not even sure that they filled out your form in the first place. In short, an unclear marketing source can turn Cold Referrals into Cold Leads.

Even though the prospects you purchase from a Lead Vendor started out warm, by the time they get to you they are considered cold, and in many cases they will be frigid.

Here is why.

There are several great Lend Vendors online today.  They obtain their leads through reputable methods and do their best to give genuinely warm leads.  Unfortunately,  there are by far more bad Prospect Vendors out there today than good ones. Some prospect vendors will use very questionable methods to build a contact database. These methods include:

• using surveys that do not relate to the businesses they will be selling the leads to
• buying old or used leads from other lead vendors
• selling the same lead to multiple (sometimes as many as 50!) businesses
• taking contact information off of websites using electronic searchers called Web Spiders
• making false offers to the prospects, such as promises of coupons or free merchandise.

Imagine what this can lead to. You call up a prospect you recently purchased from Joe’s Leads, who you thought was giving you at least a Cold Referral lead. This poor lead, Sara, filled out a survey on baby products two months ago, and was then sold to various businesses, non of which are selling baby products. She has now been receiving calls for two months from people who assumed she was interested in what they are offering. By the time you call Sara, she is wondering who you are, how you got her information, why you are contacting her about an e-business opportunity and where her free samples of baby food are that she was told she would be getting when she filled out the survey two months ago!

I have seen this scary scenario play out time and time again. I have had my own fair share of experiences of being both the Caller and the Called. I bet you too have had at least one of your Sunday Night dinners interrupted. Before you give up on the idea of purchasing leads all together, there is another side to the Lead Vendor issue.

There are legitimate lead companies out there that provide quality, researched and informed prospects to businesses.

That being said, a lead company will almost always sell a lead to at least 3 people. They have to do this in order to make a workable business profit. The legitimate lead providers, however, will tell you this upfront. You must also always keep in mind that, as with all things, you really will get what you pay for. Today, fresh legitimate leads are the diamonds of the business world. Expect to pay at least 2 to 5$ per lead. Pay anything less and you will be getting cheap imitations. Pay anything less than 1$ per lead and you will be getting well used coal.

Avoid Bulk Lead packages. I cannot stress this enough. Every Lend Vendor (including the legitimate ones) will have a Special Bulk Lead package or Old Lead Package. These are the Blue-Light Specials of the Lead Vending marketplace. They usually go for 10 to 25 cents a lead and are sold in packages of 500 or more. Again, you get exactly what you pay for. Bulk Leads are usually “last sell” leads, meaning they are generally more than one month old and have already been sold to multiple businesses. By the time you get to contact the leads from a bulk list, they are tired of being contacted, will most likely not remember how the lead vendor obtained their information and will most likely become hostile on the phone.

Put yourself into the shoes of the leads you are buying. Do you think you are worth more than 25 cents?

If you purchase the high quality leads (sometimes referred to as Live Leads or Hot Leads) that are 5$ each and are less than 24 hours old, you will have a higher rate of acquisition. These leads are more expensive for a reason. They are brand new; they just filled out a survey asking them questions that relate to your product or service. Some lead vendors will even show the lead your website and direct them to your contact form. In this way, you are paying the Lead Vendor to be an Impersonal Referrer.

The bottom line with using Lead Vendors is to do your homework and stay way from the prospect bargain bin.

Prospecting can be one of the most enjoyable and interesting parts of doing your e-business. You get to converse with people from all walks of life, form business relationships, investigate new ways to get quality leads and experience the elation of turning a lead into a customer or business associate.

Anyone can be a successful prospector as long as they follow five key simple rules:

• Do not add your entire family and friends list to your Prospect List
• Avoid Cheap and seedy Lead Vendors – don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t buy!
• Put yourself in the shoes of your prospects every time you call them
• Build business relationships that build referrals
• The best quality prospects come from prospecting that you do yourself
