The Carbon Copy Pro Application -- Who Do They Think They Are?

Sometimes when I talk to a lead on the phone, they ask me something like, "You mean I have to pay an application fee just to get information on your company?"

And I always very confidently answer, "Yes! It's a part of the system that you'll understand once you submit your application and it is approved."

Some refuse to do it and move on. Some call us arrogant, money grubbers, or something else not fit for a public audience, and they move on, too.

And to those people, it's okay. They're not serious enough yet. They are what are called in the auto industry, "tire kickers". Just testing the waters.

So what is the purpose of the Carbon Copy PRO application?

Is it elitist and arrogant?

Let me tell you the inside story here, and then you can decide.
But to understand, you'll have to think in terms of already having joined Carbon Copy Pro.

The Carbon Copy Pro Application serves two purposes:

1. FILTER: The application allows us to filter out those that are serious from those that are not seriously looking for a home business opportunity. It does this in two ways. As I said above, those that refuse to purchase and submit an application will move on, effectively filtering them out of our list of prospects that are truly interested.

Ever try chasing a prospect down who was not interested, as they dodge your emails and phone calls, never answer your messages, and pretend to have no idea what you're talking about? This DOES NOT HAPPEN with me because of the application process.

For people who DO submit an application, there are some people who are just not suited to have a home based business like Carbon Copy Pro. Specifically, people who have a lottery mentality and expect to get rich with little or no effort can be screened out. Similarly, people who have an emergent need for money as quickly as possible should not start a home based business.

The application allows us to filter out these people as well.

2. FUNDED PROPOSAL: For every person that submits an application from my website, I receive approximately 50% of that amount to help offset my marketing costs. It is not unheard of that many of our members completely cover their advertising costs in a single month because of the Carbon Copy Pro Funded Proposal.

If you think in terms of a Carbon Copy Pro consultant, you will realize the value of this kind of arrangement.

In summary, the Carbon Copy Pro Application serves to filter out people not truly interested, allowing it's members to concentrate on "hot" prospects who know what they want and are just looking for the right opportunity. In addition, the residual income from the application purchase allows it's members to at least partially cover the cost of their advertising.

And for the person searching for an opportunity? No worries.

They also receive a DVD called "Inside Out" with Jay Kubassek, CEO of Carbon Copy Pro and Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame, discussing the keys to success on the internet. This DVD sells at a retail price of $149, and it's given away free to all applicants.

In addition, there is a 30-day, no questions asked refund policy on the cost of the application, should the applicant decide the opportunity is not for them.

The Carbon Copy PRO Application: A NO-LOSE proposition for applicants and consultants, alike.
