No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Part 2
People ask me: “Your e-book is great! Why on earth do you give it away free?”
“Your telephone training is great! Why is it free?”
“Your ‘Colors’ CD is great! Why is it so cheap?”
“Why do you help me for free when I’m not in your company?”
… and a dozen other variations.
In the early 1990s, I joined over 100 MLM opportunities. I tracked, cataloged, analyzed & evaluated EVERYTHING they did: products, compensation plans, marketing, distributor support, profitability, etc.
The Ugly Results
I’m a fun-loving, easy-going guy. But my teeth clenched and my fingers curled into fists of rage. I was stunned by how many companies and “Heavy Hit- ters” make HUGE profits NOT on product sales, but instead by selling a ton of worthless marketing materials to the distributors who trust and believe in them!
I get mad just thinking about it. This is why you find widespread cynicism & skepticism amongst network marketers.
I can’t blame them.
But you should hear the calls I get from people trying to figure out how I’m go- ing to bamboozle them.
First, they figure I’m trying to steal their people.
Fact is, they don’t HAVE any people. None who trust them, anyway. Many up- lines’ idea of support is to tell you the lies we’ll cover in Chapter 1.
TRUE support is to take you by the hand and lead you through every step of this business, so you can actually experience it in real time and get good at it. THAT is what we do on our phone calls. No company is ever mentioned on those calls.
No product is mentioned. No one is ever recruited.
Some people figure our calls must be rigged so anybody who calls gets billed on their phone bill!
Listen. Our MLM business brings good income, thank you. Our tools & phone calls support our people. And they work their butts off. And Linda & I love them and appreciate them.
We owe everything to this business. It tortures me to hear people denigrate net- work marketing because of the greed of some companies and their “Super Star Reps.”
I don’t do ANYTHING in life that isn’t fun. Whatever I do, it’s because I love it.
So I do what I can to balance the scales. I choose to support with every fiber of my body ANYONE who invests their hopes & dreams & life into this industry. It makes my day to help keep their spark alive.
I will train anyone for free. No strings. I am not threatened by anyone or any company in this industry.
But I do understand that they are threatened by me. Most STILL don’t take the time and make the commitment to train their own people.
A word for the “Still Skeptical:” I get the skepticism. Really. But enough is enough. Get over it. If you want to live your life distrusting everybody, then your life is pretty much over, anyway. Goodbye, good luck. Don’t let the door hit you in your butt on the way out.
For everyone else: Let’s get started! Sincerely,
