Probably most people who have read/viewed this forum (the 20k+
views, not necessarily those who have posted a reply), sifted
through it, and gone through it with a neutral
perspective, like me, and are here for one reason:
They have probably heard of NTI through "word of mouth", heard the
101 reasons why it would work for them, paused to think before
expending any commitment/capital, and still have 101 questions in
their minds about any possible loopholes, fineprint, or hidden
clauses that NTI might have. I've read through practically the
whole thread, and what really is valuable are the various
experiences had by those who made their experiences heard,
and not the flaming, the degratory remarks, etc. (although it's the
action that catches the eye, they do not provide any real
value).
I've come to realise those who really do well in NTI belong to 2
categories, either those who are good at talking (salespeople who
can twist perspectives to make even the ugliest person sound like
the most beautiful) and those who really believe in the system (and
have thus been brainwash certified).
I do not think that NTI is a complete failure, I believe it can
work, but it really isn't for everyone, especially me.
I got to know NTI through a friend, and he was really good at
talking me into NTI, he talked about networkingpeoplenetworking,
and that I could learn business much easier with NTI. The only
reason why I bothered listening
was because 1. he was a friend & 2. I had an interest in doing
business.
But I am far from convinced because NTI is a system whereby, if you
don't get people into it, it won't work for you. And I could not be
bothered to spend so much time convincing others to join NTI, like
he did me.
If I was really so good at talking, I'd have joined an insurance
company or gone to do sales, but I don't have a knack for such
things.
So, he has invited more people to try to convince me, and yes, I'm
still sitting on the fence. I hope that those who have had
good or bad experiences with NTI as managers
especially, could come forth and share, to better inform people
like me who have clouds of uncertainty hovering above.
Yes, nothing is guaranteed, no $$/returns are ever guaranteed for
those who do not truly believe in something, and even if they do,
it doesn't necessarily mean returns as well. There's always 2 sides
to a coin...
