Not referring to anyone here, but I'll like to make a
point.
It actually doesnt matter if there are people flaming a company,
whether out of true facts or just pure unprovoked dislike for the
company.
What matter most is how the company agents handle it. Seriously,
there are people who are already out there flaming your company,
the last thing one should do is to flame back. Any agent who has a
sense of what marketing is about should either be rebutting their
opposition point for point, fact for fact, or aim to repair that
image.
The company's potential customers is basically the public, and if
you cant win them over, its game over. Why the talk about dignity,
bravery, challenging one to come out talk one to one etc
etc...?
Business ethics are different from the usual ethics you know. By
flaming back, it goes to shows, and anyway for most shady MLM
companies its true, that the agents are young, far removed from
reality, far from grasping the key path to business or marketing
successes.
We can be flaming each other whole day, but the losers will end up
to be the companies, if they do not have proper public image
managment.
