I think you missed the point, I don’t have any intention of wanting you on my team, nor do I need you on my team.

As a leader I do coach my associates I take a great personal interest in their success — however, I can only teach them so much, I refuse to babysit people. You know the whole saying…you can bring a horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink — well it applies here too.

I’ll be brutaly honest…the mechanics of building an mlm business is childs-play…an ape could do it — that is not where the problem lies.

In my years in this industry, the challenge lies in the people themselve…not willing to stand up and be leaders.

to educate you would require me to change your whole paradigm — something I cannot accomplish — that greg is your responsibility.

Seems like those who you have known in mlm don’t even know mlm themselves — I have had guys/girls like that in my organization using the slick saleman approach… they make some quick cash.. but never they last — it’s sad really, and give us professional network marketers a bad image. It they truly understood the business — their friends would be begging them to be part of what they have, instead of running away.

valid point #1 — I went to bed last night, guess what happened? My team in sydney australia signed up 5 new associates and I made $515 — I love my job!

Why doesn’t Jay educate us? Make one valid point?

Some of the most entrepreneurial, driven and focused business people I have met are MLM – but they are not people I want to do business with.

Most of the MLM’rs I have met use tactics that are questionable, lack disclosure, and they often try bait and switch schemes to get my attention to set up a meeting.

Yaro is right on the money – make friends not enemys. As they used to say in the 60′s ‘Make Love, Not War’

Thanks for the great blog!

Can’t we call it Peer Marketing, or something less cringe worthy?

Transparency everywhere, whether some people want it or not. That’s why all kinds of partnerships are proliferating to better reach or serve a mutual market.

Done poorly, they anger the very people the partners seek to serve.
Yet customer-centered, individuals and organizations can forge SmartPartnerships to generate extra value and visibility and become the trusted, top-of-mind choice.

AW yeah

His view is that good ideas travel like a virus and people are the most effective way to get your message to the masses. The idea is to influence people of influence who will in turn influence others (etc etc etc), he calls them “Sneezers”.

The book is a bit long winded but still a decent enough read.

Great blog by the way, long time reader, first time commenter.
