Yes, question about the 3rd party resources. Today for the first time I introduced my opportunity by first showing "Check out the Biz", watching it together with my new friend who is interested in having his own business. But I am wondering how can I successfully use "Check Out the Biz" which is an excellent introduction to MLM, without sending my people to you, Randy, to your company :-) Does this make sense?

I am facing one that is really getting on my nerves and that is that after each presentation ppl tell me they will look at the website before giving an answer. But after they do, they tell me they are not interested. So I tried to curb it by geting them to view the site before we meet..But now they tell me that after viewing the site, they don't fancy the products and I lose appointments..are they using the 'take a look at the webbie' as an excuse to politie remove themselves from the situation?

Now there are many people who will get objections of every kind due to many factors, one being what you said about weak presentation etc. That's just life! So maybe you could elaborate on the 3rd party resources scenario to help those people understand how that works, and also explain how the 3rd party process actually helps to properly qualify the prospect.

At the very top you have the President, CEO, & VP's of this/that/the other department. Then the pyramid trickles down to managers, supervisors, and finally-yes, FINALLY the remainder of the workforce-the accountants, secretaries, receptionists, and clerks at the bottom of the "totem pole"! What about the cafeteria staff and cleaning crew? They've been forgotten to say the least. Tell me folks, is that or is that not a REAL pyramid scheme or what? What a hard pill to swallow!

I immediately recognized this to be my industry. What I did with the opportunity, however, did not give me the financial freedom I was after. Not even an income. But I tried it for 14 years, with the SAME company. So I wouldn't call myself a quitter. A little over a year ago, I was introduced to a new opportunity. I was reluctant to view it, because I had a new action plan with the old one. But I was told to check a video and an audio recording. They did the trick and I changed. I did not have the money, but I flew overseas on two occasions last year to know more. Did it help me to change the opportunity? Yes! I will say so even though I have not made an income yet. Because I eventually realized that no matter how big the opportunity, it would take me decades to succeed the way I had been trying. I saw the light when I heard Randy Gage talk about trying to rescue people in "Duplication University". I had been trying to rescue people that desperately needed an opportunity! All the way from 1994. Just a few weeks ago, I gave up this approach that I had thought was so right. And I have found that, with MLM, we cannot rescue people that NEED to be successful, but we can succeed together with people that DESERVE to be successful. And suddenly I have several middle class and above top professionals in the ladder of escalation. As an answer to whether MLM can be a cure to a crisis, yes, it can be for anyone that can see the vast middle class capable of purchasing products and starter kits. What about countries like Nigeria, where some companies have great growth? Those people have less money than we have in a crisis, yet they get wealthy with this opportunity. They sure inspire me!
