The Truth

 

Tim Sales said it perfectly, " A legitimate MLM company has a real product that people outside of the business desire."

The MLM Truth. Click Here>>>>>>> 

Brian Tracy,in his book Change Your Thinking Change Your Life, says, " Some of the newest millionaires in America come from the field of network marketing. Working from home, they paid $50 for a sample kit and went out to work.They sold something, made a profit, reinvested their profits, grew larger, and eventually achieved financial independence. But, only from hard work!

What does a successful MLM Business look like?

 

I want options not obligations with my life. 

Is your product easy and simple to sell?

 The surging MLM Industry can thank the internet for leveling the playing field. No more good ole' boy systems. The baby boom generation wants to stay home and raise their families. Driving this desire is a williness  to build a successful internet business.

Savy entrepreneurs scour the internet for a sponsor who fits them relationally. Sponsor shopping drives the best MLM trainers to the top.

That sounds easy, right? Start Shopping!

How are businesses built?

Most organizations are built with a CEO or President at the top, right on down to the assembly line worker.  Both are needed to make a strong company.

Look inside any business prospectus or magazine and see the chain of command. 

Look at our Government structure.                             

MLM, Network Marketing, and Direct Sales companies are perfect for a person who wants to work part-time from home or for a stay home mom that wants to earn an extra few hundred dollars a month. It is also the avenue for people to break free from the limitations of a pay check every two weeks to living the life of their dreams.

Beware of MLM companies that promise the world and quick riches with little work. A business takes work, period. Don't forget that. Ask the salesman that works on commission.

Stay clear of the smooth talker who wants to hunt down every warm relative from here to Timbuktu. Telling you to sign-up with a product you couldn't sell to a Yak!

Many great salesman and MLM distributors get stuck with monthly quotas just to keep their paycheck. This can result in stockpiling product in their 2 stall garage or small basement. Sound Familiar?

Many try recouping their hard earned cash by selling their items on E-bay, lowering the value of their product.

When I had my third child, I loved the idea of working part-time and making some extra money from home.

I passionately searched for a proven company that provided a product that customers were passionate about and would buy every month. Was it even possible?

Thank-you Google! I did my homework!

I found a  proven company with ethical owners who were very successful in Network Marketing before starting their own company. That impressed me. They had experience and knew what it was like to be a distributor.  They had walked in my shoes and won.

Did they have a stable compensation plan? Yes!

If I died, could my kids take over my business? Yes! Awesome!

Could I retail this product at craft shows, and be proud to offer this to my friends and family? Yes!

Could I offer this product for fundraising? Yes!

Are you wondering about this legitimate company? It's one of the fastest growing MLM companies on the internet today and it's debt free.

This company thrives on teamwork. It encourages you to ask the MLM experts in any leg- cross leg, front leg , bottom leg, any leg, without any worry of reprimand.

Is it possible? Yes!

But, I knew the product had to be better than any retail product I could find in the store, something almost everybody uses.

Was it possible? Yes!

I live in Michigan, the birth place of MLM and I know the power of Network Marketing.

Are the your owners approachable?

No surprises here. Only a company of integrity without any hidden agenda or complicated compensation plan.

Our compensation plan is benevolent. It is very generous to the distributor with with no quotas and the ability to will your business and your check to your family. 

I checked and re-checked! I couldn't find anything like this...anywhere.

I looked into franchising of a restaurant or renting a store front,  but the start up cost was not in my stay home mom budget. The pressure of a 24/7 business was out of the question.

I researched the possibilities.

I came across the concept of Network Marketing. I could work at home with a low start up cost, no required inventory, include my family if the product was right, and earn a few extra dollars or more, a month. This sounded great! The more I researched, the more excited I became.

E-commerce is the next wave on the internet and I have my surf board in hand!

The network business model is what America was founded on. I started to think about businesses in my home town and this business concept was every where.

Insurance sales persons, car salesman, pharmaceutical salesman, beauty salons, technology stores are doing this every day. They all have a sales force with quotas. Sales people build the dreams of someone else. I want to work towards my dream.

To my surprise, the company sold what I love.

The company , promised more than a fine product line. They promised a future.  They trained me.  I was taught how to market and how to retail, fund raise, and build a team.


The people who taught me were passionate about helping everyone succeed.  

My husband and I talked with the company owners and we test-drove the product.

Everything this company offered was what I was looking for, even a free website and world class training. I couldn't sleep. 

Selling online intrigued me.  I was proud to invite, not pester, my friends to test drive my product.  I  started helping people earn extra money through fund raising, and even built a sales team like a regular business.

The internet is one of the most powerful sales tool today and growing each year. It will level the playing field. I can buy just about anything online and have it delivered to my door. I buy all my books online.

My life has changed because our whole family is passionate about our home business.

If I went back to my teaching position, I would have to take a pay cut.  My husband will be joining me full time in the business in 2008, and we are having a ball doing it.

I wish you the best in your search for the right networking company for you. Follow Your dreams. 

Watch out for the hype and pressure of get rich quick schemes with out the work. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing.

Do your homework and shop around for the right fit for you. Just like a brand new sports car, kick the tires and look under the hood, and ask lots of questions.

And once you find the right fit, make the 100% commitment to see your business through to "success".  Don't quit.  Give it all you've got and then some
to live the life of your dreams. And most importantly, HAVE FUN!

To your success,

Is this one of those pyramid things? 

Tim Sales Explains the difference between Legitimate and Scams.

This newsletter is going to first explain the differences between pyramids and M.L.M, then on the conference call next week, I'll teach you how to handle the objection.

Pyramid
The word pyramid has simply come to mean a business that seems like a scam.

Scam
A fraudulent business scheme. Fraudulent comes from the Latin word fraud, which means deceit. Deceiving someone means to trick them.

FACT: There is no activity (stock trading, charities, law firms, medical doctors, religion, M.L.M, government, etc.) that does not have a history of fraudulent activities.

In looking at scams, it is important to locate the actual source that is creating the scam; there is ALWAYS at least ONE person.

Source
One that causes, creates, or initiates; a maker.

If a person kills someone with a rock - don't blame the rock! The rock isn't the source and didn't kill the person. A person with bad intentions is the source and USED a rock to do damage.

If a scammer uses telemarketing to seduce its victims into a scam - don't blame the telephone. The scammer [a person] is the source and USED a telephone to deploy his scam.

If a scammer [a person] uses M.L.M to deploy his scam - don't blame M.L.M.

An industry can't be a scam as it's not capable of tricking people. People are the only ones capable of tricking someone.

M.L.M is not the culprit in pyramids, the culprit is the unethical activities of a person or group.

The reason scams sometimes use M.L.M is because it's a powerful way to distribute anything.

Illegal Pyramid Scheme
An illegal business that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered.
Most legitimate M.L.M companies give a thirty day 100% refund on products if you don't like them. And if you buy inventory to sell and then change your mind about the business, most legitimate M.L.M companies will give you back 90% of the purchased price.

So the primary difference between an illegal pyramid and a legitimate M.L.M company is that a pyramid does not have a "real" product. A legitimate M.L.M company has a real product that people outside of the business desire.

Home Candle Biz- www.SoyAndBeyond.com
Candles have come along way from the tin candle molds of days gone by. Candles were used by the early Egyptians in 3000 B.C. and today in 2007. Why? I think the glow of fire has soothing and calming qualities and screams for intimacy. Heh, the power goes out and now you have light to huddle around. The Candle Biz has been around for thousands of years.
