So let's ask some important questions:
Can you advance in rank and or make more money than those who have recruited you or wanting to recruit you in your opportunity and or are above you in your "upline"? You will want to be able to have the opportunity to make more than the person who recruited you and even your "upline."
A pyramid scheme is where all the money is made in recruited and there is no real service or product is being sold. Does your opportunity or the opportunity your looking into make all or most of it's money from it's products or services being offered?
Many times people believe network marketing is a pyramid, because when one draws out the organizational chart (with their assumptions of course), they in vision a pyramid. In fact in network marketing, it's indeed more like a diamond shape and quite legitimate and established. Every heard of Mary Kay? Amway? Avon? Ambit Energy?
If this should so be you or someone you know, grab a pencil or pen... matter a fact a piece of paper.
a. draw out the organization chart of the company you work for?
b. the organization chart of the school hierarchy or educational institutions your children attend.
c. the organizations chart of your church.
d. maybe the organizational chart of the soccer association your kids play for?
e. what about the organizational chart of your kids boy scout
... well think you get my drift.
Rremember though, network marketing is more like the shape of a diamond, but with people's assumptions they're simply not yet really ready to understand network marketing. that's why your here helping them out ;).
Next, ask that person, WHERE they might have heard maybe what a "pyramid scheme" is. They probably heard it from someone who was broke, or the mainstream corporate truly pyramid'd scheme media.
Ask them if that person is very wealthy, or maybe if they own their own business. A beautiful video... satirically crafted is entitled: I still think it's a pyramid scheme by Pat Petrini. Brilliant.
Here's an example what broke people watch and how corporate pyramid schema'd media produces. What type of organization chart do you think it is that's running this this media monopoly programming? You think maybe it's the shape of a pyramid?
Next, point them out to some organizations and associations that are of credible backgrounds. Explain to them that your sure they know who these organizations are, and point through showing them that your opportunity is a part of these organizations.
Better Business Bureau (Check out a business or charity)
DSA Direct Selling Association (Member ship listings)
Licensed Public Utility
Organizations or Nonprofits of legitimacy that support it.
Are their founders from legitimate and successful business backgrounds? ... show link to background of leaders.
Ask them if they stop working at their current j.o.b or small business (basically the same thing as a j.o.b, their time is owned ;)) ... if they will keep getting their checks?
a. show them the video of residual income vs. linear income that I have on my youtube channel
b. point them to Robert t. Kiyosaki's videos on network marketing... and finance.
Ask yourself or them to just take a look at the opportunity, and that your only there as a conduit for them to learn more about the industry and that you know they or yourself are indeed not ready to join, nor not wanting them to join. just to learn more about the industry. Point everyone to this this blog and video, Hand them a copy Robert t. Kiyosaki's book Business School: For People Who Like Helping People, and set up another appointment for coffee or dinner whereby the two of you talk about the book and the network marketing industry in general. Trust me you'll have new friend, and maybe a new business partner.
Lastly here's a great youtube video on the legitimacy of the direct sharing industry:
Hope this blog and video blog was of great value. Feel free to call me and let me know how this made you feel. Look forward to know that your learning more about this opportunity- the grand opportunity of the network marketing and mlm industry.
