Team 16k & The Reverse Funnel System: One and The Same
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 @ 7:15 pm
If you’re typing away at Google with hopes that it’ll spit out the right online business for you, chances are you’ve been at it for a long time. It isn’t easy sifting through the limitless options. Well if this sounds like you, I wouldn’t be surprised if you came across team 16k, with the picture of those two dudes standing next to each other. I would imagine that you stumbled across this article because you’re researching Chris Campbell’s and Matt Sunderland’s home business, and hopefully I’ll be able to reason with you to help you decide whether team 16k is a suitable business for you.
Now, team 16k is really just the face of the business they promote. It’s really just a branding gimmick to hide what they’re truly promoting, which is the Reverse Funnel System. Most recently, the Reverse Funnel System has been a dominant player in the realm of online marketing, and I don’t doubt that you’ve seen more than one advertisement flaunting the “beach bum” with his laptop in a lounge chair. Now, if you aren’t familiar with the Reverse Funnel System, it promotes a travel membership club called GRN or Global Resorts Network. It allows its members to stay in high end resorts for discounted prices, similar to a timeshare network system. It’s a great opportunity. However, the downside is the high cost of becoming a Reverse Funnel System associate. The program costs $3,000 to join and on top of that it is suggested that you also have an additional $5,000 in start up costs for advertisement. ON TOP OF THAT, it costs $300 a month to subscribe to the system and even more money if you intend to buy any other software to help automate your business. THAT’S EXPENSIVE, or at least it is for most people. They’re targeting a very specific demographic, and consequently leaving out the little guy, so to speak.
Now, I don’t want to imply that Team 16k and Reverse Funnel System are bad businesses. There are individuals who have seen a lot of success with them. However, if you can’t afford such a high entrance fee, does that mean that all of the other options aren’t as good? Not at all. The Reverse Funnel System simply teaches members where to place ads and how to generate traffic through online advertisement. Little instruction is involved. What you really need to ask yourself is whether or not this puts you in a position to truly be a professional in your area of expertise. To be honest, with these programs you can’t say that. If you walked away, the knowledge you’d be left with is how to put pre-written ads in specific areas. Try taking that and being successful elsewhere. You can’t.
It would be more beneficial to find a business that will do the same as Team 16k and Reverse Funnel system and provide you with tools that have proven to be effective, but also teach you how to become an internet marketer. That way, you can be creative in the promotion of your business and not just do what everyone else is doing. When you have the necessary skills to market ANYTHING online, you can be successful with any program or product, period.
The system I’m alluding to is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Like the Reverse Funnel System, it’ll provide you the opportunity to sell a product that the market has a demand for. But what’s more important is the comprehensive marketing education it provides you. You could literally start up your own business and make your own reverse funnel system if you wanted to, that’s how good Derrick Harper’s marketing course is. But it isn’t just a bunch of lessons. It’s a gift to all Wealth Funnel System members that should be used in the marketing strategies of selling Wealth Funnel System products. Well who is Derrick Harper and what makes his information and opportunity so valuable? Derrick Harper is an internet marketing veteran. He started marketing on the internet before most people even used the internet. With 13 years experience and a resume filled with big names like Pfizer, Wyeth, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, MTV Networks, Weber Grills, and many other highly recognized brands, it’s no doubt that he knows what he is doing.
I hope this article is somewhat helpful in your evaluation of Team 16k and The Reverse Funnel System. If you’re still unsure about what online business to pursue, make sure to place as much emphasis on whether the program will educate you, just as you would with any other criteria.
Wishing you the best success in any business you pursue, Joe Marquez
