subject: I Almost Got Hosed In A Recent Business Deal [print this page] I Almost Got Hosed In A Recent Business Deal
A couple of years ago I was searching for business opportunities online and was approached by an industry leader about joining a new venture. After a few discussions and some research I found that there had been a ton of hype about this particular offer recently. A lot of gurus had been promoting it and reporting miraculous results.
Something just didn't sit right with me though, and I wasn't able to put my finger on it. So i found an unrelated party whose opinion I respect. I showed it to my Dad. He's a business entrepreneur and has been a true leader in my life. He agreed to review a few webinars that outlined the project in further detail.
A few days later, he responded that he'd have to look into legal specs further, but there were 2 things that bothered him.
He cited specific examples of exaggeration on the part of the presenter, which as a new and non-bias viewer, lead him to be skeptical of further material from that presenter. I had actually overlooked this subtlety in this specific 20-minute presentation as it was very well concealed.
Furthermore, the "downside" of the actual product in my opinion was the lack of marketing training and obscure nature of the product. if it's never clear what you are going to end up with, how can you evaluate it? We came to the same conclusion; there was potential, but the duplication just wasn't there.
Upon closer evaluation of this particular company though, there was a large "hidden" start up investment (both in time and money) and a lot of legwork required before you saw any real payoff at all. In short, the system worked, but it looked like duplication and attrition would be major problems and it wasn't proven to be effective from an ROI standpoint in my opinion. I ultimately passed.
In all network marketing, it's critical to have a great team of upline and crossline leaders as well as a non-bias source of consultation to keep you focused on producing results for yourself, not only checks for the company. Ultimately I found what I was seeking with my current primary business,Numis Network,a gold and silver network marketing company, and the great ning community I found as a result of the team I joined with.
