i must agree with some of those who r neutral or support network
marketing. but i am not saying i disagree with those who dislike
network marketing. i admit i am working in a network marketing
company. i wish to share my thoughts and opinions with u all and
not trying to influence anyone. i believe all of us have brains and
can think and can differentiate what is right and wrong.
1) first of all i believe that not all network marketing companies
are bad or networking marketing is bad. it is the ppl who r doing
it that r bad. network marketing is just a way of doing business.
some of u may think 'of course we r toking abt the ppl, y would we
tok bad abt a name?' tt's right! since u agree that it is the ppl
and their way of doing it or the products they sells r bad, then y
should we condemn tt all network marketing companies r bad, if some
of u do.
2) we should not despise or outcast our friends if they are working
in network companies. it is also a decent job if they are truthful
and honest. for example if the products they sell really benefit
ppl and they r not overcharging the price, then y should we despise
or outcast them? they r just like any other salesman or insurance
agents. i believe most of u do have insurance and bought them from
agents as well.
3) pyramid scheme is illegal and banned in singapore. though mlm is
legal, there r many restrictions and laws in singapore to prevent
abuse of the system. comapnies operating mlm need to be registered
as well. hence when a company says that it is a network marketing
company, i dun see any reasons to doubt or flame them. by doing so,
u r also indirectly doubting or not having confidence with our
government. do u think in singapore where u r %@@^ing fined for the
smallest things in the world, will the government allows companies
to operate illegal and cheat us?
there are some advices or opinions i would like to share with those
supporting or neutral with networking marketing. first of all when
u see and set ur goals, go all out to achieve them, just like u go
all out to chase a girl/boy. there will bound to be discouragements
and difficulties on the way. but dun give up easily because success
belongs to those who r determined. at most if u fail to succeed,
take it as a lesson learnt and experience gained. though some of u
may think money and time r wasted, but think of it another way. use
the money to buy lessons and gained experience which u may not get
from other line or trade. dun u also invest or spend money when u
go after ur girl/boy?
for those who dislike network marketing, my thinking is do not
despise or outcast them. like i say it is also a job. what if they
do is honest and truthful, y should we? take the case of insurance.
or lets say a class with many students and the teacher is a
professor and the best u can get in the world. i can confirm that
not all students will get the same results though wat the teacher
teach is the same and equal to all. and if 1 student is a gangster
and bad discipline, can we judge all of them r gangsters as well?
respect everyone's job or career. i believe if u dun wish to
purchase anything from them, they will not use a gun to force u.
just tell them straight in the face and show tt u r determined.
warn them if they r ur friends that u will be angry and might leave
him if he keeps pertering u. i believe he will not do tt again cos
no ppl will one to make more enemies than friends. they will
respects ur decisions just like u respect their jobs. instead if
they r doing it the ethical way, they will be gladful u r willing
to spend time listening to them. it is both an experience for them
and a lesson of the product for u.
who knows u may be working in the same line in the future or ur
business may employ network marketing to sell ur products?!
last is to those who r about or thinking to join a network
marketing company. i advice u should do some research first. check
out the company financial status. whether it has delays for
payments to its agents, or there delays in delivery of stocks or
goods. it it does, the company is not financially secure and may
close anytime. next if it ask u to buy the products upfront, dun be
so stupid to do so. u may end up losing more money if u r unable to
sell. or if they insist, ask abt the refund system.

check whether it is selling real products that really benefit ppl.
u wouldn't want to go cheating ppl of their money with false
products rite? check the way the company works. whether the ppl
have strong bonding or they r just using one another.the company
will surely close if the managenment is bad no matter how gd their
mkting plan is. for some u may think it is difficult to tell in
such a short time. but there r tell tales signs so look closely.
look at the way the ppl communicate. whether they are close and
true to one another. see if the seniors r helping the juniors
willingly and truthfully. or r they giving excuses to avoid helping
them. u should be able to sense tt. top management is very
important!! or if u want to 'test' them, tell them u r working. go
through the training and 'waste' some of their time and efforts to
train u. then make up some excuses to quit. if they r unhappy or
wat, then u should not see them again. if not u may really want to
consider working so make another excuse to join b again. last but
not least, if u suspect their mkting plan in the sense tt the top
earn more than wat they claim or legal levels, the only way to find
out is to climb up urself. dun ever be so stupid to ask them cos u
will never get the truth. one more thing, most ppl hate the
'brainwash sessions'. but i think of it another way. it is to
instill a sense of belonging to the company. most business
companies will do tt because they do not wish the ppl they train so
hard to betray them by joining other companies or set up one of
their own.
these r just my 1 cent worth of thought and opinions. i am not
trying to influence anyone here. like i say all of u all can think
for ur own. i am be wrong also and i welcome and comments.

do not see things from one angle. it is important to have an open
mind. u will learn more things and the truths usually are the
opposite. dun be a toad in a well.
