This is my First Article, and I intend to journal the trials and tribulations I am facing and working through for success in what I believe to be the best home-based business opportunity available today. So why the title, "From Scam to Success- What's Really Real with this home-based business?"
In late December 2006, while searching the Internet for a way to generate some extra cashflow from home, I found a homebased business that appeared "too good to be real".
In fact, my family members were sure it was a scam, it had to be...They just knew it. So they searched the internet to discover, that sure enough there was "bad" stuff written about the company I was excited and pleased to be newly associated with.
Of course, they couldn't wait to print all the "stuff" they'd so proudly uncovered, through their internet sleuthing and hurriedly emailed their findings to me.
Of course, I read it...then passed it into my disappearing filing system- to permanently remove it from sight.
I'm not unlike many new first-timers in the network marketing arena, I know that. I'm educated and I'm a very successful business owner. I know what it takes to start a business from scratch.
I just didn't know what I was getting into, that is, I didn't have a clue what network marketing was really about.
The truth of the matter, I still don't.
But I am so committed to this company, the products we offer and myself, I know I am about to become one the top income earners in the company.
I love the community of like-minded individuals this company attracts, and I have fallen in love with their energy and the power our products give to me, and everyone else who really delves into our program.
So, here's my story thus far...Joined the business in Late December, 2006, (that was established earlier)...Did exactly as my Advisors suggested and purchased leads right away (hundreds of them). Plugged into all the training calls, (well, maybe not all of them, I missed a few prospecting training calls). Set about my business of marketing and calling prospects back...working the system, using all the tools provided. I even purchased training tapes and CD's from well-known trainers. Diligently, I put people on our business overview calls...not so diligently, I followed up. (Now don't beat me up, I'm just trying to be honest here)...
Knowing that consistency and commitment are key, I was diligent about calling prospects and putting people on calls. This system requires "newbies" to make two training sales, and pass those up to their Advisors, to compensate for the time they spend assisting one to get started in this business. I think that's a good thing. So here's what happened.
I attended one of our Company conferences in March, not yet qualified. The information at this conference was so powerful, I came home knowing I just had to share this great gift with others.
So, I bought the program we market, and sent it to my late husband's brother and his wife. They had suffered some major losses over the last 10 years, losing their oldest brother (my husband), and within 3 years, their oldest son to a tragic car accident. (Unbeknownst, to me at the time, that purchase counted as 1 training sale.)
I continued to work this business...and finally got my very own website to start marketing with. Boy was I excited, I just knew I had the pieces in place finally, to really "blow the cover off the ball."...Well, I wasn't quite right, but I did make my first real sale in April! Now fully qualified, I was just sure I'd be hitting homeruns consistently from now on. I mean, I'm fully qualified "across the board"- I can collect commissions on every product we offer, and I love this company!
So why then, over the past 8 weeks have I made only 1 sale...and that sale, was rescinded within our 3 day refund period. That my friend, is why this article is being written...From Scam to Success - What is really real about this business? What is real are our products, the opportunity, the training and support, and the fact that one must pay their dues to really get the benefits offered here.
Stay tuned. There is more to come, I've just gotten started.
