- Real Customers Don't Defect...
By: Kim Klaver | - One interesting thing about the network marketing business...
You often hear of recruiters defecting - leaving in a group and going to another company, like a group who left BodyWise to go to Pharmanex a couple of years ago. It happens all the time in our business.
When a company crashes, like Excel did, different top recruiter groups stick together to go to different places. In Excel's case, one group went to Shaklee, another to ACN, and a few others elsewhere.

- The Art Of Direct Mailing For Commercial Real Estate
By: Tony Seruga, Yolanda Seruga and Yolanda Bishop | - If you've ever heard any kind of rumor about direct mail, it was probably something negative. The person you heard it from probably said something like, Direct mail doesn't work. While it may seem like it doesn't work, the truth is it actually does. The only reason that it doesn't work for some people is that they don't do it consistently. They may have tried it once and failed, therefore direct mailing obviously doesn't work. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with their level of consis ...

By: Kim Klaver | - Even though the business of direct sales and network marketing is made up of 80% women, the language used in front of the room and on websites, in autoresponder emails and everything else from corporate and upline is basically male.

Language such as "We're going to explode your downline" or "explode" or "ignite" your business. But men are the ones who explode things. Women don't. We tend to be the ones to pick up the pieces. We might for ...

- Is This Sales?
By: Kim Klaver | - Has this happened to you? You're discussing what you do with another woman, and how much you enjoy it. Then she asks
"Is this sales?"
Uh oh. What now? Are you someone who maybe blurts out, "Well it's not sales. It's sharing."
Perfectly understandable a woman should feel like that. According to recent market research on women's buying habits,

- Is The Business Really For You?
By: Kim Klaver | - The path to personal and financial success is never straightforward, no matter how easy the people selling either one make it look.
Network marketing's no different. It's not an easy path. And most certainly not the easiest way to make quick income. An hourly job at $10/hour will get that needed $500 much faster than any networking opportunity for someone with little business experience.
But for that longer term success, for those who want to build up something that ...
