Don't Bite Off Your Tongue to Spite Your Face. Publish Date : 1/11/2006 4:36:07 PM Source : Debra George
from every direction with a lot of feedback that left a bad taste in my mouth. This leads me to ask for opinions on the subject of people criticizing other MLM's in order to advertise your own. In my opinion, it would be in the best interest for all network marketers to not ridicule another company. Offering them the opportunity to explore the opportunity of company is one thing; RIDICULE and CRITICIZE is another. You just might be throwing a good prospect away. Also, in my opinion, a true business person will always have an eye open for new promising ventures. I'm sure everyone would agree that MOST, not all, companies offer every individual the same thing - AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD WEALTH. A few Statistics to prove that this industry is big enough for us all: According to statistics produced by the U.S. Census Bureau for 1997 (the most recent year in which the data is available): - Direct sales is the second largest "one-person business" industry in the nation - Among all one-person business types, Direct Sales ranks higher in total sales than selling used-cars or insurance, or practicing law and even medicine! - There are 15.4 MILLION one-person businesses in the U.S. - These businesses generated almost $600 BILLION a year - This is 3.3% of ALL U.S. business sales I did a lot of research before choosing the type of company I would affiliate with. It is working for me. You chose your company, I hope it is working for you. We must remember that each person's level of success is factored in when they look at Network Marketing as a whole. So when thousands of people fail to succeed, that makes the entire industry seem distorted. Of course, people have had bad experiences with different companies. My advice is if you have had a bad experience where the company is at fault, take the proper procedures. Notify the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce and your friends and family. (Word of mouth is a powerful tool) Remember, however, that it must be the company's fault. Don't spread bad publicity about a company because you did not advertise your business and nobody registered. Or don't call anyone complaining that you didn't get a check if you didn't do any work. What you might not want to know is that that same company probably has quite a few people who are getting rich from the same opportunity that was presented to you. If you feel that you were definitely wronged, then follow the above steps. It is not our best interest to criticize in order to advertise. If you are with a company that you feel is the "best" in the industry.....GO FOR YOU. GO FOR IT. Offer people the opportunity to explore what you and your company have to offer in a positive way. For example, compare and contrast. Don't knock down other people's dreams. They might not choose your company; they might choose a competitors. Who cares. There are thousands of companies to choose from. BUT, there are MILLIONS of people. About the Author Debra George is a determined self taught Network Marketer. She is a WAHM who |
