hihi..
i've a friend who has been thoroughly brainwashed by NTI and i
really don know what to do with it. worse, she thinks i am trying
to pour cold water upon her... i have had experience in some
companies b4 but never really did anything cos i did not have that
desire to pursue this.. i won;t say that i have more experience
than her in this network marketing arena, yet when she dragged me
along to see her compensation plan, it was just so fundamentally
wrong. pardon me, but isn;t multi-level marketing or network
marketing essentially the movement of good products to consumers
thru the network and as a result of getting people to do the same,
u get to earn part of the points or money?
my question is, why doesn't she get it, that NTI isn;t a very
upfront and honest company? lousy products (where got the
repeatability of sales?) and scheming psychological methods to get
people in (youngsters?! where got experience?) most of the other
companies i have seen do have professionals in them and do sort of
know the ethics of the biz. why doesn;t anyone in NTI understand
this? mlm or nm, it does not matter and it is a good avenue.
i showed her the MTI website on the mlm prohibition act and she
still did not understand.
according to the law,
there should be a cooling period for the sales of the products,
sorta like a money back guarantee of sorts... to protect the
interests of the customers.
but when i asked my friend abt this, whether i can refund the
money, she said that it wasn;t really possible. her reason? if
everyone returned their things when they ain't happy with thier
products then how can the company continue to operate? in other
words, i suppose it means that the moeny from the goods flows
upwards? well.... i guess that's weird cos in thier smart plan,
they do not separate the Business centres from the registration
fees. which essentially means that a simple person who is listening
to the plan for the first tiime would think that each BC is like a
registration... and that the products are inevitable stuff that
comes along with the BCs.
like excuse me!
in the eyes of the law, no one is to be pressured into buying
products other than that of training materials etc . why is NTI
functioning like that? worse, there should NOT be any monetary
gains from the recruitment of people into the network. so many grey
points that begs each other... wad the hell!?
can anyone tell me how i can help my friend ouit of this crazy and
meaningless company? it is not only her time and effort wasted. i
have seen others who lose friendships and treasured relationships
when their companies fail them.
i really do not want to see her suffer eventually.
i feel that NTI, being flawed in their biz plans and equally
lacking in ethics, would not last long, but hey... this nti thingy
has been around for almost 3 years?
*sigh*
i really dunno what to do. CAD won;t be helping rite? if they did
they would have clammed down on this long ago....
