Web Signups, Broadband & Browser

Signups From The New Recruiting Website
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the method in which I was using the new recruiting website. The experiment is going well and I managed to sign up another two new distributors using the new site last weekend.

I'm very pleased with the way it's going. It's saving me a lot of money on postage and, more importantly, reducing the time it takes to go through the process.

However, for those of you who are also using the site in a similar manner, be aware that you can only sign up IDs using this method. There is no option to sign up as a CGA. Anyone who tries will be automatically designated as an ID and you will then have to contact Exec Services in order to get them made a CGA.

Broadband Problems
I was interested to read Wes Linden's article on the Extranet - the one about everyone wishing they had started when he did and his attitude to teething problems. I know that some of you have had problems with the new broadband services and David Baker Townsley recently contacted Wes to discuss some of the broadband related problems that three distributors in his team had experienced.

I was very impressed by the swift action that Wes put in motion - contacting Exec Services directly and getting something done. I don't suppose we've seen the last of these problems - and there will probably be a few others to come with some of the other services - but it is gratifying to know that someone as senior as Wes is prepared to muck in and sort things out when problems arise.

Alternative Browser
Some of you may already be surfing traffic exchanges to advertise either T+ or other websites that you have. I normally surf 5 or 6 exchanges at once and I use a "tabbed browser" for this. It has several advantages over Internet Explorer and you can download one free by clicking on the link below:

This browser is more stable than IE, has its own pop-up stopper, can block flash animations (if you want it to) and will automatically reopen all surf windows when you restart (again only if you want it to). Give it a try you might like it!

Hi Hamish
have to agree with your comments about seeing someone senior taking action.
I think we are all aware that there have been more than a few challenges with broadband,and this must deter a few of the team from promoting it.
Keep up the good work with this informative blog
