If you have a company that sells musical instruments, would you rather spend money and time on creating ads, hiring sales reps, hiring and training customer service reps to handle purchases or would you rather look for an independent marketer (which can be an experienced network marketer) and offer them the opportunity to walk with 40% commissions from the profits for their direct sale efforts and 2% for all future re-orders from these customers as well as any sales made by the independent contractors (distributors) that they find and train?
The network marketing model is saving companies millions yet creating more loyal customers. With the recent launch of the Word Of Mouth Association, there is more and more attention in leveraging the power of a "satisfied customer". Network marketing is quickly growing.
It’s A Pyramid Scam
It’s about time you realized and admitted to it too!
The person at the top makes all the money. And the people below
do all the work. Eventually the people below start to quit and get replaced
by new people who do all the work. The person at the top
still makes all the money.
And so many are falling for this scam every day. They are putting in their time, energy, sacrificing time with the family, sacrificing their dreams of travel, and everything else for these scams.
I know one person (a friend from high school) involved with a scam like this and he’s talking about how “after 10-12 years, I can probably make $140,000 per year”. Maybe, but who is he kidding? And even if does make that much, it’s because the people above him are making even more.
That’s why I will never understand…
Why people…
Keep flocking to…
A job.
Being an employee is such a pyramid scam. The CEO of the company (the person at the top) is the one that makes nearly all the money then there are the layers of supervisors who earn less.
Then there are the disposable employees who get downsized as soon as the profit margins don’t look too good. Other times, these employees will quit and be replaced by others… others who do “all the work” yet earn very little. And the scam continues.
Network marketing is more than just legal, it’s ethical. In fact, it’s likely the most ethical and moral business model available as it encourages support and team work. The success of a personally sponsored associate and the optimal results of a referred customer are top priority for a network marketer. To increase their own checks, they must ensure customers have a fantastic experience (that they’ll want to tell others about naturally) and ensure that other associates are succeeding and earning checks.
Directly tied into the above points is the free support, coaching and mentorship that network marketing allows for. This is a very important point. Without adequate business coaching, an individual who knows nothing about being self-employed would have a tougher time succeeding. In fact, this mentorship is so valuable, a lot of services and programs charge $500-$5000 for this. In network marketing it’s free because everyone in the “upline” (those in the same referral genealogy as you) financially benefit when you attain your own goals.
This hands-on business education is something that you simply can’t learn by reading a book or sitting in a classroom (anymore than you could learn swimming just by reading about it).
It also provides accomplished business owners a means to help their peers attain financial independence because while building a business from scratch isn’t a viable option for the average employee (due to costs, time investment, risk and the need for dozens of skills required), network marketing does allow everyone a quick entry, low cost, no risk means to build a new income stream (which they can later use to build other businesses if they choose… but at least they have a financial asset while they are waiting for or developing that “next big idea”).
I saw you
I saw you in the distance
Walking; smiling.
I couldn’t see your face
but I knew it was you from the way
you looked at everything around you.
In the shadow of a tree you stopped
and stood.
I wanted to tell you everything I knew
but I’d left it too late
So I left you to keep watching the world
and hoped that one day you’d figure it out
In your own way.
