IBuzzPro vs Phone Broadcast Club: Does Phone Broadcasting work?
Ibuzzpro vs Phone Broadcast Club- which is better?
Phone Broadcasting can be an effective way to generate leads at a very low cost. Once you join a Phone Broadcast service, you have purchased Voice Broadcasting software. Costs to join range between $100 and $2000 plus a one time setup fee. In addition to using Phone Broadcasting to market your business, phone broadcasting itself can be marketed as commissions are paid. Two of the most popular companies are IBuzzPro and Phone Broadcast Club. IbuzzPro and Phone Broadcast Club are similar in several ways. They both offer a good voice broadcasting software platform that is effective. Both IbuzzPro and Phone Broadcast Club have about the same monthly fee $27.98 and $24.95 and call fees of 1.6-1.9 cents per 30 second call. Once you have joined either of these voice broadcasting companies, the costs are about the same and both offer some free leads including business to business leads. But there are 2 very big differences between IbuzzPro and Phone Broadcast Club.
1. IBuzzPro costs $500 + a one time $50 setup fee. Phone Broadcast Club costs $100 + a one time $25 fee. Most people who use phone broadcasting to market their primary business also market their phone broadcasting company. The commissions are notably HIGHER for IBuzzPro. They both offer a modified 2-up plan, so that is somewhat of a wash. IBuzzPro pays $500 commissions vs Phone Broadcast Club, PBC pays $100 commissions. IBuzzPro is much more lucrative vs Phone Broadcast Club.
2.IBuzzPro is much easier to signup for and use. Phone Broadcast Club has a confusing signup process that is time consuming and can be confusing. IBuzzPro is much more straight forward and offers a webinar on the site to show details as well as easy step by step instructions in the back office. IBuzzPro also offers 4 live webinars per week to show new members how to use it.
Both IBuzzPro and Phone Broadcast Club are good companies and good products. However, for anyone looking to market voice broadcasting, IBuzzPro is my recommendation. IBP is lucrative, easy to use and easy to train others on. PBC only pays $100 and the number of confused people who need help from you will be significant.

As a consumer, these broadcast marketing calls are very frustrating. I do not listen. I would be very interested in the success of the marketer who use this technique.

I have never heard of these methods before and wondered how the systems generate leads. If they use cold calling then I don’t think they would be very effective.

If I’m understanding this correctly, these are the auto dialer systems? I think they are good if you are targeting the right market, but I get these calls and generally hang up without listening because they are NEVER anything that I would purchase.

Thanks Maureen! I’ve often wondered what the setup, etc., is for this type of marketing. I’m also in agreement with most the comments so far. I definitely just hang up and/or screen calls. And, I really doubt that I’d buy flash in the pan because of an auto dialer telling me they have the best deal. Something to be said (highly) of the personal approach. Again though, I had no idea so this is great information!

These aren’t autodialers, it’s voice broadcasting. Yes Julie you are right- you MUST have a targeted market to be effective. Most people use them incorrectly- thus causing many of us frustration!

Mark- the way they generate leads is by broadcasting a 30 second message- for folks who want to know more they generally “press 1″. Once they hear more, they leave a voicemail to receive more information. 95% of people hangup..so the 5% are usually good prospects.

You must have to know your market extremely well in order to put out money like this, especially for a 5% turn around.

Hi Connie- you are right, you definitely need to know your market. 5% is good and typical for business opportunities-much higher than direct mail. The benefit is this saves a ton of time! Getting the same 5% on the phone would be hard work-

You do have to target the intended audience. If you do, though, I think this could be a valuable tool.

I hang up on anything that’s recorded. There’s no reason I should listen to a machine. But, I hate auto dialers even more.

Hi Valmg,
Yes many people don’t like to receive recordings, but some will listen. It’s an efficient way for marketers to get their message out to thousands at one time. The ones who do have interest can be followed up with. It’s not an auto-dialer, it is broadcasting software and can be ultra effective for marketers if used properly:-)

As a consumer I hate these things. Hate. Them. I get about one a day and recently more than that so I have stopped even answering my landline. If i heard the product name before hanging up I would add it to my ‘do not buy’ list on the refridgerator with the places that have spammed my email.
