IS YOUR MLM SPONSOR A "DOPE"?
OR IS SHE JUST SMOKIN' IT?!!!
True story! At the end of April of this year, a close friend approached me with a " Home Based Business Opportunity" that
she was introduced to by a long time friend. Naturally she wanted me to be the first person to share it with, so I agreed to look at it. My
friend has known this woman for years and completely trusted her and the information she provided on this "incredible
opportunity".
With tales of "I make more in a month than you do in a year" and "I've only been at this business for ten months" , along
with "I'll build your team for you - I went to Regional in two days!" we signed up immediately!!!
We were Business Owners! WOW! All we needed were three people, right? .....Not exactly.....We followed the rules and made
phonecalls, presented to anybody we could corner, tried to get people to meetings (even going as far as picking them up
and driving them there like prisoners!!), unwittingly telling people the same "lies " our Sponsor told us! We took a course
because we were going to be "Leaders in our region." We quit our jobs! (Got to have time to build our fortune, right?
Besides, even our husbands would be retired by the end of August!)
Our "Sponsor" would come to town and then stay at our homes. Harmless enough, after all, this woman was our Mentor!
Now I try not to be judgemental of other people, and what you do in the privacy of your own home is entirely up to you,
but when this woman started each morning with a big fat joint (and continued smoking pot throughout the day!), I was
NOT impressed! Was this woman stoned when she was giving presentations? When she signed people up? To add
insult to injury, she brought her two little dogs with her that proceeded to use my house as their personal bathroom! (I
changed the name of the breed from Pappilons to Crappilons!)
Needless to say, I was choked, and by this point I had lost all respect for this woman and I began questioning the whole
situation. She even had the nerve to invite other Reps to stay at my house when they were passing through without asking
me!!
Then my girlfriend and I noticed that our friends were'nt even signed up under us! (Our "Sponsor" had entered them into
the system and leveraged them for herself, of course, at $250.00 a pop!)
By this time we are feeling like we are duping people with these recruiting methods and why were we trying to "get people
into the business" when they were'nt even looking for one in the first place?!!!!
SOOOO.... the next logical step was "THE NET"! YEAH- that's the ticket - we will find people who want to be in a Home
Based Business on the internet!!! Problem solved, right?.......Again, not exactly......The internet is a remarkable and
valuable tool, but it is akin to the ocean - tons of Predators and an unlimited supply of Prey!!! (Can you guess which
category new people to this industry fall into?!! )
I have to tell you that my little "fins" have been nibbled on considerably by some sharks BUT I am still swimming!
I could have saved myself a lot of time and money (which,by the way, I am in the process of putting these 100% Money
Back Guarantees to the test!!) if I had only found Mentoring For Free first! At first it was a hard concept to swallow -
"what do you mean FOR FREE?", but that is exactly what these people do. They help you and guide you....for free!
This E-book is a MUST read BEFORE you ever get into a network marketing company!
My friend and I are not quitters - we believe we are stronger, wiser and more determined than ever to succeed in a
Home Based Business.
I could be angry and bitter over everything that has happened, but instead I would rather share my story and hopefully
save other people some some time, pain and money! You CAN make an incredible income in network marketing IF
you start at the right place!
Live...Love...Laugh....Have fun every single day!!
