Many years ago, as I was wandering through life, I was known phenomenon of multi-level marketing, is now called network marketing.
Over the years, like so many MLM / NM companies rose, happy, and then fell into the great abyss, I wondered what attracted me and countless others for the bid or offer! Is it money, fame, travel, personal satisfaction of a world based on a grandiose plan "to save the planet?" Honestly, I knew I did not care. For the price of a few bucks skinny, I could be rich beyond reason and have a full life that I saw the second window. Ah, unfortunately, in many of my iderations and foray into network marketing, I seemed to fall into the same "old castle" until now.
Countless times I was convinced that the garage is full of gems to be my ticket to a better life. Countless times I had left the goods at the end, I could not give the neighbors, family and friends. Thus, poorer, and perhaps wiser, and the collapse of the attempt and moved into the mainstream of corporate life, filled with politics and pseudo-targets "culture," he said, "we are different!" Not so fast, my friend. Even in the corporate world where the mantra, Kaizen principles, Sig Sigma indoctrinations, sales meetings and rallys PEP, I like to have "soup du jour," anarchy and disappointment abounds.
Freedom comes in many forms. Retirement, forced retirement, dismissal, termination, oh, did he retire? Suddenly you have more time on your hands than you know what to do with. Now is the time to "find a project!" In my case it was easy, with a wonderful, beautiful, four-legged companion who loved to wear, it's easy. People are always looking for what he wore - and so business Doggie Couture was born. What a wonderful venture, to be around people who love their pets and to cherish always. It was paradise! And, best of all, Barron is an integral part of business, at work every day, greeting your clients! They loved it! He absolutely enjoyed it! His wardrobe was, to say the least, rich. He even had his own $ 2,000 sofa bed! Nothing is too good for "Barron !"
the last few years, which included the relocation of some upheaval, but we weathered through it all, until 2009! At the end of the year we saw signs of stress in the market. Fellow store owners are having a disastrous months - and it was month after month! In early 2010, with great reluctance, it was decided that the trade can not continue in the current economic environment! So, in January, it quietly closed, leaving sites like the only option for a fabulous range of designer dog clothes and accessories.
from now forced time on my hands, it was time to decompress and find another "do something. But what? It's a challenge! Is there is boatloads of money that we are reluctant to invest or had elements of a shady deal in mix. an old story about "if it is too good to be true, it usually is! Witness Bernie Madoff and Scott Rothstein, Florida attorney with another incredible Ponzi scheme. Where to go, what to do the puzzle! And then the answer is sent as an e-mail.
Would you be interested in a 'chance ?"
My first reaction was usually, "No way!" However, due to the sources, my attitude is completely different! (This is a good step 1)
As promised, I received a DVD which outlined the "Company", "Products" and "Opportunity" It's a great view, factual and without the hype and exaggerated claims. (Step 2 is also a good !)
I consider bids for a few days (I received several calls a nice track by the way, nothing pushy or aggressive), and then made the call.
"Yes," I said, "I think this is a good opportunity! Time for me seems to be right," I added.
Due to my prior engagement, failed businesses, I had a series of questions I needed to respond. Thinking that I was going to get the old "flim fabrication," I was positively surprised when my colleague said, without delay, "hang on" Let me have someone to talk to you! "A few moments later I was connected to a co-founder of the organization that concisely answered my questions. Now I know, too, that the answers were honest and that only reinforced the integrity of the company! (Mythical Step 3)
We talked about the products, there are four groups, if you will. There is a major, the I-H20, "smart water" that exceeds all other groups! There Nutritionals, electromagnetic pollution inhibitors, anti-aging, a state-of-the-art green products. All who are patented and owned. If you're going to get into Network Marketing you must be very distinct, and apart from, rather than a "me too", like so many others continue to follow the NM group.
Step 4 added significantly my confidence because I was asked to join a training meeting in the evening to hear the words of the director directly. They are inspiring and he told me that what this company has done for the past eight years has been nothing less than mind-blowing consistency. Consistency and training are also an important factor in the success of any trip to this area.
Once joined, starting from that day, I participated in the morning and evening briefings training to help all of us to be our best! Ongoing training is one of the "hook", but usually not miserable. This, combined with the usual three to four years is not normally sounds the death knell for any business network marketing, but this one has survived and thrived!
