subject: Is the System Automated? [print this page] Do that, and as you dig up the facts and the picture emerges, you may well realize that their system is more like a 10,000-piece jigsaw puzzle they've tossed helter-skelter on the floorand that it's up to you to pick those pieces up and fit them together somehow. That assumes, of course, that you even have all the pieces. Therefore, closer the system is to being fully automated, the better. Does the system eliminate the need for personal selling? Do they use Direct Response or a website, or do they force you to be on the phone all the time? As I've already told you elsewhere, that's limiting; it doesn't let you leverage any way to profit other than trading your time directly for money. If you don't want to put together your own system, your only real choice is to find a turnkey system that does all the work automaticallythat way, you can jump in from Day One and start bringing in the cash. Later, once you've worked out the secrets, you can experiment with venturing beyond the confines of your comfort zone. You can even investigate the possibilities of engaging in direct personal selling, if that suits you.
