Frustrated with all the near-worthless shopping carts out there, a "fired-up" Internet Marketer reveals it all...
"For All The Internet Marketers Who Are
FED UP With Paying Monthly Fees On
CRAP Shopping Cart Software..."
An Open Letter From A Synergyx Customer!
Dear Fellow Internet Marketer,
If you're on the quest to find the perfect shopping cart for your Internet Marketing business, rest assured that you can STOP RIGHT NOW.
Trust me - I can tell you that with STONE COLD CONFIDENCE - because I've been there. I've been a full time marketer for over 3 years, and in that time, I've tested everything:
And if you've dealt with ecommerce solutions for more than even a few minutes, you can probably relate to the head-pounding, aggravation, and straight-up heartache I had to deal with. Let me assure you - I'm normally a VERY happy person. Someone once told me that I should be a weatherwoman because I say everything with a smile.When it comes to my experiences with shopping carts pre-Synergyx, though... let's just say that the smiles weren't very abundant. Time and time again I'd read a great sounding sales letter, get my hopes up, and pull out my credit card.
I'd log in to realize that seemingly normal things a marketer should want... weren't there.I can easily say I wasted thousands of dollars. I still even have a few hundred dollars in monthly fees that are being taken out of my bank account each month (once I finish this letter, I've got to go call those companies to cancel!).
But if you've been there, you know the story all too well by now - so I won't put you back in that place of torment and frustration.
I'd literally swear on a stack of bibles that Synergyx is the best solution I've found, bar none.
To begin with, there's something you should know.
I Started Out As A Potential Customer Just Like You. There Was
Nothing "In It" For Me To Give You My Highest Recommendation.
Truth be told, when I came across Synergyx the first time, I went back and forth with Paul (the owner of the software) via email a few times and decided against it. It came at a VERY high recommendation from a friend, but I decided to go with InfusionSoft. I figured if all the "big guys" used Infusion (or so I thought) and it cost more money, then it had to be better, right?
But I'll get to that in a bit...
I suppose I should introduce myself first. My name is Rachel Rofe. I've been earning six figures online for the past 3 years, and after experimenting with many different business models, shopping carts, and software solutions, you can definitely say I've "been around the block" a bit.
Up until recently, I'd been using a smorgasbord of options for my portfolio of sites - one of my niche sites was on UltraCart, another few on PayDotCom, more on Clickbank, and a few on 1ShoppingCart. I decided that I wanted everything in ONE place so it would be easier for my team and I to get things done quickly.
I didn't think what I needed was difficult.
Things I Believe EVERY Marketer Should Have In Their E-Commerce Solution:
It turns out what I wanted was a lot harder to find than I anticipated. A lot of options had SOME of the things I was looking for, but nothing had EVERYTHING I was looking for.
Here's What I Tried Up To That Point - And Why It Was Simply AWFUL:
Like I said, I'm normally a happy person. I like to think I'm pretty easy to please, but everything I came across had a huge "red mark". Here's why:
Note: These solution reviews are from Rachel's own personal experience as of August, 2009
You can certainly have a programmer custom make one for you, or buy someone's pre-made solution... but it doesn't work that well. When people go through the order process, they click "Submit Order" and to them, it seems as if they automatically purchased... but what really happens is that you or your assistant needs to go through and manually authorize the orders.
Unless you're sitting at your computer screen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then you're going to authorize the payments later than when people purchased. People end up getting multiple receipts at different times of the day, and then they freak out. It leaves you with a bad image in customer's minds, gives you excess customer service issues, and multiplies your odds of people having buyer's remorse.
The affiliate system on 1ShoppingCart isn't very reliable either. I know of some people that simply will not promote for you if 1ShoppingCart is being used. They also charge a monthly fee (I'm a fan of paying for something ONCE and being done with it).Their autoresponder has pretty poor deliverability too, but that's a side point.
Don't get me wrong - there are people who are doing phenomenally with Clickbank, and I sold a business that solely used Clickbank - but the general consensus is that people will take you a lot more seriously once you're off there. My general grievances with this system are:
1. You have to be approved for every single item you put in. Not only can it take up to a week or more to get approved, but they've gotten pickier and pickier lately. One of my business partners literally had to fax in a copy of his driver's license in order to get a $97 product listed.
2. For each of your Clickbank IDs, you can only have ONE product listed in the marketplace. That means that if someone wants to become an affiliate for one of your products, they'll either need to promote several separate links (and reminder: you have to pay a separate fee for each one plus the transaction fees on each sale), or you'll have to decide not to include your other items in the marketplace (which is the biggest selling point of Clickbank!)
3. Last time I checked, you couldn't do one-click upsells.
4. They have pretty monstrous fees.
My virtual assistant constantly gets emails saying that people weren't redirected to the order page correctly (which only pulls her from doing other, more important things - not to mention how it increases buyer's remorse).
I've found that PDC is often down - a LOT - and there's nothing you can do when it happens - except lose money.
My good friend was also "randomly" selected, and we had to call and beg, send in faxes, etc... just to get what was rightfully ours. I remember my friend was mega-stressed over the ordeal and I had to loan her a few thousand dollars that she was waiting on from her 2CheckOut payments.
I would never, ever recommend 2CO.
The problem with RAP is threefold:
1. You can only accept PayPal.
2. You have to give instant commissions. If you choose to make an upsell, then you either have to pay instant commissions (if people refund, you're out of the money) or you have to buy an additional add-on.
3. You have to set up the affiliate portion of each of your products separately with its own member's area (so an affiliate has to log in and out for each one of your programs - NOT easy, and definitely not something your partners want to deal with).
I couldn't find any programmers who were already experienced with UltraCart. I hired people to learn it on my dime, and it took them a lot of time - and they still weren't able to get everything we wanted done (simple things such as having pictures next to each product).
There are also weird, quirky things with UltraCart that you can't fix. For example, when someone goes to purchase from you, they're faced with a list of about 20 different shipping options which only confuses and overwhelms them. When I asked about how I could minimize those, I was told that I could have it customized - but it'd cost me $100/hour.
Another example is that when someone goes to sign up as a customer, it says "Wholesale Application" - again, confusing the reader and something that you need to pay to have switched.
There's also a monthly fee.

After experimenting with all of those, I figured I'd try something new out. I was about to launch a new product and really wanted to get everything in one centralized place for all of my affiliates.I found one product - (censored) - that seemed as if it had everything I was looking for. When I called up support they said all the right things, and I knew that a few big-name marketers used it. I decided to bite the bullet and pay the $299 - $499 (!) monthly fees. Please understand that this wasn't an easy choice. One of my best friends works with a launch team that does millions of dollars in sales and she was ADAMANT that I not use them. She said that a lot of the bigger guys were pulling out of it, that there were many people who passionately hated the software ... and that she lost a LOT of money in her last launch because of technical problems while using it. I don't know why I chose to ignore her, but I did. I'll spare you the laborious details (of which there are many), but I'll sum it up by saying I was EXTREMELY UNHAPPY with them. |
Here's the thing . . .
The Ecommerce Solution You Decide On Makes A HUGE
Difference To Your Business - And Your Livelihood.
In fact, here's a funny little story for you.
|
About a week ago, I had a successful couple visit me from Northern California. The couple are two of my favorite people on earth - they're very straight-laced "do-gooders" who really care about people. I remember one time we were walking along the beach in San Diego and we saw a few cops standing on the side of the boardwalk. Most people would see the cops and think, "UGH! They're watching to make sure nobody drinks alcohol. Don't they have better things to do!?" The husband, however, took the opportunity to shout out, "Thank you for being here! Thank you for everything you do for us!" (I was shocked!) He won't even cross the street unless the "Walk" sign is flashing. I remember one day we were sitting in my living room and I mentioned the problems I was having with one of the aforementioned shopping carts (I don't want to name-call, so we'll just say it's a very popular and expensive "do-everything" solution). I wish you could have been there to see it - but the mood in the room instantly plummeted from happy to vent-city. The generally mild-mannered husband literally started YELLING about how much he hated this shopping cart... how he had to spend $5K in setup fees (new customers don't have to pay those now - just the hundreds of dollars in monthly fees), how he spent weeks upon weeks trying to learn everything, how the support system is awful, and how the coaching calls that were mandatory to pay for taught him nothing. We literally spent a good 30 minutes ranting and trying to out-yell each other in a "Who hates this company more?" discussion. (I later joked there should be therapy for people who use it.) It was really a crazy experience. I'd never seen this ultra-happy, Pleasantville couple even remotely upset... but the mention of this high-priced eCommerce solution had the husband shaking like a rabid dog. |
It's crazy how enraged a shopping cart can make someone. But it makes sense - the size of your bank account - which also affects your quality of life - is directly impacted by how easy it is for customers to give you money.
Please understand that I'm not telling you all of this to complain... to "vent"... or even to get you to pity me.
Truth be told, I simply want you to understand just how amazing Synergyx is and why it's the hands-down best system.
So cut to a few weeks ago - once I decided that (censored) wasn't for me, I decided to call up the friend that recommended Synergyx.
Once again she restated how great the software was, how she'd never launch without it (and she's been behind million dollar launches), and how great the guy behind the software was. She said he was a really sweet, religious family man who worked hand-in-hand with clients to make sure that everything they want is taken care of. He gave clients his phone number to answer questions and had impeccable email support.
I had heard a similar comment from another friend and decided to email Paul (the software creator) again. Right from the start I could tell things were going to be VERY different.
My Experience With Synergyx Was Unparalleled
To Anything I'd Ever Tried Before.
|
The first thing Paul told me was, "Don't pay the price on the site - I'd feel bad." I think this speaks VOLUMES as to what an honest guy Paul is. He had sent me an email on July 7 saying that he was launching a lower priced, more comprehensive version (what you're getting) at the end of the summer and he'd feel bad if I paid more than others would. I would have had NO idea if he lowered the price - but he immediately said something. Talk about customer service! It's almost unbelievable. I instantly had a better feeling about Paul, but I knew the "feel hopeful only to be let down" feeling all too well. That being said, I'd explored every other option and decided to try out Synergyx (with it's ONE-TIME FEE!!! Yes, no more monthly payments!!!). I asked Paul to send me an order link, and he said that he wouldn't take my money until the software was installed on my system. (!!!) He told me to please be patient, because he was heading to a seminar the next day, but that he'd be around as much as possible. I'd already been waiting for a while because of InfusionSoft, so I figured I might as well wait a few more days to get started. It left a little bit of a "blech" for me (patience isn't one of my virtues), but I figured I'd have to deal with it. You can imagine my surprise when I got another email THAT NIGHT from Paul, saying that he decided to forego sleep (he said he could sleep on the plane) in order to do the install for me. Again, I must say... (!!!) I Was Able To Launch My Site The Week I Got Synergyx. Now I won't mislead you - there were a few things I didn't understand right away. That being said, I emailed Paul and got answers IMMEDIATELY. Later on he even got my phone number and walked me through things so I understood the "why's" behind it. I had a problem with my hosting account and he literally called them for me and 3-wayed me in so we could figure out the issue. I hate to sound redundant, but again... Who does that? What an absolutely incredible service. As you can imagine it offered everything I wanted (and more): |

The truth is, it doesn't have every shiny "bell and whistle" that some of the other carts have... but it has
what MATTERS, and I think it's absolutely perfect for people who market information products.

The affiliate module is absolutely HUGE -- Most Can you imagine an affiliate KNOWING that a customer bought from them, but it didn't show up on their sales? Can you imagine how much trust they would lose in you? It would be absolutely devastating to your reputation. Most shopping cart systems add the affiliate functions as an afterthought - and it shows. Tracking is off, affiliates don't get credited for all their sales, and it's hard for them to even navigate through their stats. Now I don't know about you, but over half of my sales are from JV partners. If affiliates aren't happy, NOBODY'S happy.That's why I love that this shopping cart actually started out as an affiliate system. The tracking is near-foolproof and is the reason Jeff Walker uses Synergyx for his own launches.With all of the features and the incredible training, things are made VERY easy. You Can Launch A New Business In Under An Hour. Like any typical entrepreneur, you probably have flashes of inspiration that you want to quickly take action on. Or maybe you want to test out a bunch of niches and see which one "sticks" the best. That's NO PROBLEM with Synergyx, because all you do is go into the Product Database, click "Add New Product", enter in a few details, and then hit "Finish". You create an order form from there and voila - you're done! If you already have products in another shopping cart, this makes things incredibly simple. Easily Switch Over Your Existing Shopping Cart Database One of the biggest reasons most people hold on to a sub-par e-commerce system is because they're scared to have to start all over. I get it - you don't want to lose your existing database, you don't want to have to start out with a brand new learning curve, and you certainly don't want to worry about losing money. Thankfully, Synergyx erases all those worries with a quick one-two punch. If you have a *lot* of products (as in an entire ecommerce store with 100s to 1000s of links) it might not be the quickest since that's not what it's designed for. If you have 20-50 order links, I'd reasonably estimate that you could get everything transferred over in just a few hours (if not less). And rest assured that's just a few minutes per website - so it's not like everything would be down for a few hours. You or your tech person would simply make a product link, switch out the "buy now" button on your website, and move on. There would be NO interruptions to your making money. And you can make the switch with complete peace of mind knowing that you're not risking your business to some brand new system. |
This Software Was Used With Some Of The Biggest Launches In Internet Marketing History: StomperNet 1.0, Product Launch
Formula, MindMovies, Mark Joyner's Simpleology, and more!
Synergyx has been battle-tested with some HUGE "household names" in Internet Marketing. With StomperNet alone, Synergyx took in $18,000,000 worth of orders - IN ONE DAY! Add the fact that Jeff Walker -- the guy who literally wrote the book on "Product Launches" -- has used Synergyx for every one of his OWN launches, and you can have complete peace of mind that it'll never freeze up during crunchtime.
Here's what Ryan Higgins from MindMovies.com had to say about Synergyx:
I was really frustrated because I was having these great marketing ideas I couldn't implement because I didn't have the backbone to my website to implement them. |
With testimonials like that - from launches like that - and the fact that this is SUCH AN INCREDIBLE PRODUCT - you'd probably think you're going to pay some monstrous fee and then ridiculous monthly charges. Heck, it *is* the industry norm...But I've got to tell you - the setup fee is absolutely miniscule compared to other programs.
And those monthly fees? Forget about 'em.
You Pay Absolutely NO Recurring Charges With Synergyx.
All you do is pay once and you're a member for life. You don't have to worry about monthly charges, surprise costs... Heck, you don't even have to worry about transaction fees. All you do is pay once and be DONE with it.
Do you see how HUGE that is? You save ridiculous amounts of money, you don't have to worry about messy accounting down the line, and you know exactly how much money each product will make you right from the get-go (no dealing with "If I charge this, how much in transaction fees will be taken out?"
It's also SO MUCH EASIER for "write-off" purposes. All you have to do is make enough sales to pay for the initial low fee (your eyes are going to POP when you see how inexpensive it is) and then you're operating at a profit from then on out.
I challenge you to find a shopping cart that does even half of what Synergyx in the first place - and then let alone without having to pay recurring payments... that's pretty unheard of.
So you might be wondering -
What's This Life-Changing Software Going To Set Me Back?
And while it's a valid question that I'll answer in a moment, I think the better one is, "How much is this going to put in my pocket?"
Think about it:
You'll also never have to hire a programmer again. Synergyx comes with all the features we need as marketers - and if something *doesn't* come included, all you have to do is ask Paul. He's extremely receptive to suggestions.
You know, if you implemented all the tools that Synergyx afforded you, I bet you could DOUBLE (or more) your sales. You have total ease over the system to customize order forms to super-high converting money-machines, you could use the offline integration to instantly add more products to your pipeline, and you can add upsells galore.
Heck, if you make only $1000 extra a year, you'd have paid for it. That's right --
The Entire Software Is Less Than $1000!
The last "bigtime" (I use that loosely) solution I bought was Infusion Soft, and that costs up to $499 a MONTH. Granted, they include the autoresponder, but I'd honestly pay the $50 or whatever it is for an autoresponder and have a shopping cart that actually works.
Another Internet Marketing favorite is 1ShoppingCart, but as I mentioned, that doesn't do what Synergyx does and'll run you a hundred bucks a month.
After a year, you'll have paid more than you would here. In BOTH circumstances, you'd need to pay money to programmers to get all the features that should be standard in your ecommerce system.You could use Clickbank or PayDotCom - but you'd have to pay hefty transaction fees each time. After less than 3 sales a day in a year you'd have paid over $1,000.
And if you were to create your own program to do everything that Synergyx does, you'd be paying thousands upon thousands of dollars.But you can get the whole kit and kaboodle for the special introductory price of only $997.
Heard enough? Order now:
But Listen... A Word Of Warning...
This special price is limited to 500 people only.
Trust me - this isn't some scarcity tactic. Paul is a REALLY honest guy, and although I consider myself honest too, I had to go over this letter with a fine-toothed comb to make sure I didn't say anything even mildly inappropriate. He'd spot it a mile away.
The thing is, up until now, you had to download the high-dollar version of Synergyx. Paul had to install it for you, help you with tweaks, etc...But now the system is set up so anyone can simply install it (it's as easy as 1-2-3!) and get started immediately.
But take note -- the $997 copies are being limited to 500 licenses ONLY. After that, the price is going to be incrementally raised to $1,497 (or higher). It'd still be well worth it, but I would sincerely hate to see you miss out on a $500.00 discount.
And don't worry about "if it doesn't work for you" or anything like that. You're completely covered with Paul's iron-clad promise to you.
No Questions Asked... Unconditional 30 Day Money Back Guarantee!
Synergyx comes with a full 30-day guarantee. That gives you plenty of time to check it out (remember, I said you could launch a new business in an hour!) and fall in love with it.
At the end of 30 days, you're going to know if it's the right choice for you. If it is, great. If not, just say the word. No questions asked, Paul'll speedily give you your money back. No quibbles. No questions.
In 30 days you'll either be in love with your ecommerce system or you'll pay nothing. Don't delay it any longer...
With love,
Rachel Rofe
(on behalf of Paul Galloway)
P.S. Get INSTANT ACCESS before he raises the price to $1497. Please consider this a warning because I know Paul, and I know even if you're 5 minutes too late he'll have to charge you the higher price. It's an integrity thing.
P.P.S. Remember, you get a full 30 days to test drive everything out. You have absolutely nothing to lose as Paul's shouldering all the risk. If you don't love it, you don't pay!
