Comments on: The 7 Sponsors to Avoid Like the Plague! http://www.networkmarketingtimes.com/blog/the-7-sponsors-to-avoid-like-the-plague/ A community gathering place for network marketing professionals to introduce ideas, discuss things and brainstorm to make things better. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:29:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Karen Kan, MD http://www.networkmarketingtimes.com/blog/the-7-sponsors-to-avoid-like-the-plague/comment-page-1/#comment-1807 Karen Kan, MD Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:59:44 +0000 http://www.networkmarketingtimes.com/blog/the-7-sponsors-to-avoid-like-the-plague/#comment-1807 Randy, My sense is that although we don't want to purposely exclude talking to your warm market (my mom signed up just to support me and has benefitted tremendously from using the products), many people in MY warm market are not necessarily who I want on my team of business builders. In other words, although I love my family and friends, my abundance/money mindset is SO different now from theirs that it would be a lot of work to "pull them up". On the other hand, taking advantage of systems such as social networking and the internet to attract likeminded networkers has been much more rewarding and fun. There is a learning curve, of course, but the people I want on my team are those that have a passion for personal growth, and that's what I'm attracting. The best thing for family and friends is to say less and listen for a need. Most people bludgeon their warm market to death and that's no fun for anyone. Dr. Karen Randy,

I don't believe that you should contact your warm market as soon as you join or get involved with a new opportunity. i think that you should work your program first and if it does work...then you should "shout" from the roof tops to your warm market. However, I think that to approach family and friends with any opportunity that's not based on your first hand knowledge that it will work is not the responsible thing to do. Further, in my opinion, it's important that any business opportunity be able to bring success without depending on your warm market. I disagree with a small part of the warm market approach.

I do agree with taking total responsibility for what I do or do not become in my MLM business. However, I respectfully disagree with you about sharing my business opportunity with my warm market and it's not because I'm afraid of rejection. I prefer to share my business opportunity with others who are already predisposed to NM. If I get rejected there so what. I love your contrarian view but I don't agree with the entire post.
