You have to be a registered member of the Concorde Group and Life Force
International in order to join the ConcordeBuddy.com system. Someone had
asked earlier who the "corporate client" was...it is the Concorde Group and
Life Force International. The Concorde Group is a marketing vehicle/system
that was designed by several of the top leaders in LFI. LFI is a 20 year old
California based corporation.

I guess that I should note that ALL records being processed via the ConcordeBuddy.com
system are 100% OPT-IN. The bulk of them will have already been opted-in THREE
times prior to being loaded by a client into the system. The system is primarily a
contact management system that will allow the 500,000+ people in the Concorde Group
company to manage their business. The Concorde Group has been responsible for the
increased membership into the parent company, LFI. The company is DOUBLING in
size monthly and is projected to reach 1,000,000+ people this year. It is one of the
fastest growing network marketing companies in history!

I have already received system approval by Communitech.net corporate. The only
concern that they had was that ALL records being processed by the system are
opt-in...which 100% are. To see how each record is opted-in prior to entering the
ConcordeBuddy.com system, you can view the opt-in form on my personal CG site
at: http://www.ConcordeLeader.com  (domain routes to the LONG url)

ALL of the records have passed through a similar CG site and submitted the
form. This is the ONLY way that someone could enter our system. They are
expecting to receive information about the company following their submission.
The ConcordeBuddy.com system makes this process much more efficient...
and effective!

What do you mean by the term "admit?" My HOST understands how the system
will work. If I "decide to offer my services?" What does that mean?

Why would I want to pay $5000 for a bullet-proof hosting solution? You make it
sound as if what we are doing here is wrong...I do not appreciate that! There are
MANY reputable companies doing what we are getting ready to do. Take for
example all of the autoresponder companies. Don't you think that they are
processing 1,000,000's of e-mails on a daily basis? Sure they are! Name one
other company that can *verify* the records entering their system. The only
way that a record can enter the ConcordeBuddy.com system is via an uploaded
file format that the client retrieved from their Concorde Group database. Our system
knows if the file is from the Concorde Group database or not. Since the e-mail
sent by our system is all Concorde Group related, why would a spammer attempt
to utilize the system? Or better yet, how would a spammer even get into the system?

How can I get on their list? URL please?
