Carbon Copy Pro Reviews: Strange Day at Starbucks

Bizarre Coffee House Scene

Man-oh man! What does a guy have to do to get a simple cuppa joe these days?

I went into Starbucks this afternoon, and the place was absolutely filled to the gills. The line was a mile long, and every chair and table was taken.

People were crammed in at booths, packed in at window benches, and crowded in ten to a table, everyone hunkering over their laptops typing away furiously.

And would you believe it? They were all network marketers!

I overheard some of them talking, and quickly realized that not only were they all marketers, they all worked for the same company – Carbon Copy Pro!

And it only got weirder. As the line snaked forward, I peeked in at what people were writing, and holy smokes! They were all writing the exact same letter!

Every single computer screen had the identical screaming headline about the “death of MLM” and how they were going to reveal “special secrets” about a mysterious concept called G.P.T.

And every letter on every screen led off with the exact same byline:

Location: Starbucks, 1:47 P.M.
Subject: "The Painful Truth"

I’m telling you, it was weird. Half way through I decided to split. There was obviously something funky in that coffee, some kind of Jim Jones Kool-Aid – and I wasn’t drinking it!

So I busted out of line and escaped that stuffy little Starbucks to the clean fresh air and sunlight outside!

…Okay, so none of this really happened. I’m just having a laugh here about Carbon Copy Pro and Wealth Masters International and their “cookie cutter” approach to marketing…

If you’ve been looking at Carbon Copy Pro and checking out various carboncopypro reviews, you already know that I’m poking a bit of fun at the infamous “Coffee House Letter” that every Carbon Copy Pro distributor uses early on in their sales funnel.

In fact, if you were to sign up with 5 different carboncopypro sites and get on their mailing list, you’d get the identical “Coffee House Letter” in your in-box from all of them on the same exact day.

Because their marketing approach is total duplication, and just like the name of the company itself, Carbon Copy Pro – every piece of marketing is an exact replica.

The problem is: this kind of marketing just doesn’t work!

Think about it. It’s the exact opposite of personal branding, and contradicts everything Mike Dillard himself teaches with Magnetic Sponsoring, etc.

So before you drop $19,995 on the M3, $8,995 on the M2, or $1,995 on the M1 so you can start promoting Wealth Masters International – get the full story they’re not telling you!

Bottom Line: to be successful in ANY network marketing opportunity, you have to put in the work. You have to create unique content. You have to brand yourself. And you have to stand out from the crowd.

When you’re looking at carboncopypro reviews, the company leaders will tell you how “easy” their system makes everything. How it “removes the human element”. And you don’t have to do any selling or telling.

Sounds good. Except it’s just not true.

They’d have you believe that you just plug into their system and voila – the money comes rolling in.

NEWSFLASH! It doesn’t work like that…

And all the top earners in carboncopypro know this.

They don’t use the generic videos of Jay Kubassek to promote their business. They don’t simply copy & paste the ad copy from the back office templates. And they don’t use replica websites and capture pages.

For their own business they do it the right way. But they don’t tell you the whole story up-front. And that’s why so many “newbies” feel tricked or lied to, which is how the whole “carboncopypro scam” thing got started.

To be fair, I have friends and colleagues who are involved with carboncopy pro, and I know some folks that have left carboncopy pro for various reasons.

And I can tell you that there’s no such thing as a carboncopypro scam. It’s a legitimate company and some people make money with that opportunity.

However, it is accurate to say that they’re definitely a bit sneaky in how they bring people on board. They’re very secretive about sharing info, starting with the $50 application fee on through the BiB presentation.

There’s no real transparency or full disclosure, and many new reps don’t even realize that Carbon Copy Pro is really just a sales funnel designed to promote Wealth Masters International.

As far as marketing goes, they get you to sign up believing that it’s far simpler than it really is. It’s only after you’ve paid your money that you realize how much work is involved.

Now, that may be fine for the super alpha self-starter go getter types. But most folks need some guidance, some real hands-on coaching and 1-on1 training, especially when they’re just getting started.

And that’s another area where carboncopypro just comes up short.

See, there’s no financial incentive built into their com plan to encourage a sponsor to spend time training you. In fact, you’ll be competing with your sponsor (and everyone else using the exact same marketing materials you are) for leads and sales.

The simple truth is there are more lucrative business opportunities available online where you can get better training and make more money with a more ethical business model… without having to pay a fortune just to find out…

Choosing the right business is crucial to your success online. Before you make a hasty decision, it’s up to you to do your due diligence and get all the facts so you can make an educated business decision.

In conclusion: Carbon Copy Pro is a legit company and there’s no carboncopypro scam.

But they don’t give you the whole story up front, and it’s only after you’ve spent $2k – $20K that you realize their replicated marketing system is way overpriced, that copy-cat marketing doesn’t work, and that you’ll have to put in some real effort to actually make money.

And when it comes to getting trained properly, your carboncopy pro sponsor is most likely nowhere to be found.

    I've been thinking about starting after Christmas but not sure now as he was one of the top earners and left. Thanks for the info anyway - how long have you been doing this? Marie.
