The Truth is Out

Below is an email concerning network marketing that my up-line sent out to his staff back in May 2007.

He was seeking input from them and answers to an ongoing problem that was not readily shared with the rest of us when we were recruited.

I’m not sure if he crafted the letter, he was known to copy and paste (would that be…plagiarize?) entire articles.

Thing is, he sent it out to some of his down-line by mistake. I was a happy recipient and wrote back to tell him so. Applauded him for being honest. The accolades followed by, what could we do as a team to improve the situation.

By Design or by Accident?

He never responded and actively avoided me at meetings, didn’t return phone calls, etc., so I’ll go out on a limb and assume it was by accident that I got a copy.

At the time I received the misdirected email I was seeking a method of operation that would work for my particular mind-set.

I had no intention of quitting the business, just modifying my recruiting and sales techniques; something more in keeping with my demeanor. No single technique works for all networkers because we all have different personalities.

In his words here is the letter in its entirety minus his name and email address.

*Many Networkers ask why the media and NW detractors pick on the 95% drop-out rate of our industry, when ‘everyone else’ has big failure rates too…

Yes, other businesses also have big failure rates. But here’s why we’re a favorite target:

In every recruiting presentation, we sell, hard, three things (and end with a question)

• 1) how easy and simple it is to make money
• 2) how anyone can do it
• 3) how everyone does network marketing every day when we recommend movies and restaurants
• 4) What could be easier than doing that and getting paid for it?

In thousands of hotel rooms and other locales across the USA each week, that’s the pitch; those are the promises.

When it turns out most people (95%+) fail to make anything, and actually lose money instead, what do you expect?

(Of) those 95% who believed, 1 out of 3 are distraught, their families are upset and their friends ridicule them for having been ’suckered in’ by one of those network marketing things.

And the beat goes on. Every day across the USA, in hundreds of opportunity meetings, recruiters pitch this same BS over and over. And with this same deceptive pitch, they continue to sucker in ever more people who have no idea what it takes to get a business like this off the ground, and who, like everyone else, are eager to earn extra money or a quick way to wealth.

It takes a lot more to get a small-business venture off the ground than an inspiring hotel presentation.

But in our industry, the leaders and presenters all deny it with the pitches they continue to foist on unsuspecting and naive folks. When 95% fail and lose money, and have been for the last 20+ years, how else do you expect others to react?

There you have it; in his words

This man is by all appearances extremely successful in his network marketing niche. What’s funny to me is he never changed his ‘pitch’ when conducting meetings. Up until the time I quit the company he continued to feed the prospects, in his words, ‘this same BS over and over.’

Well, I eventually left the company, but was grateful for the lessons I had learned. I still use the product I just don’t market it.

And I found my niche as far as my own marketing technique. I am happy and content with my method of operation. It is built on honesty, a great company and needed products.

What I had found immediately before his email erupted onto the scene was the teachings of a respected network marketer. I sent him the information, but as I said, no response. His old method works for him but it does nothing for me.
