No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Part 2

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Part 2
People ask me:
“Your e-book is great! Why on earth do you give it away free?”
“Your telephone training is great! Why is it free?”
“Your ‘Colors’ CD is great! Why is it so cheap?”
“Why do you help me for free when I’m not in your company?”
… and a dozen other variations.
In the early 1990s, I joined over 100 MLM opportunities. I tracked, cataloged,
analyzed & evaluated EVERYTHING they did: products, compensation plans,
marketing, distributor support, profitability, etc.
The Ugly Results
I’m a fun-loving, easy-going guy. But my teeth clenched and my fingers curled
into fists of rage. I was stunned by how many companies and “Heavy Hitters”
make HUGE profits NOT on product sales, but instead by selling a
ton of worthless marketing materials to the distributors who trust and
believe in them!
I get mad just thinking about it. This is why you find widespread cynicism &
skepticism amongst network marketers.
I can’t blame them.
But you should hear the calls I get from people trying to figure out how I’m going
to bamboozle them.
First, they figure I’m trying to steal their people.
Fact is, they don’t HAVE any people. None who trust them, anyway. Many uplines’
idea of support is to tell you the lies we’ll cover in Chapter 1.
TRUE support is to take you by the hand and lead you through every step of this
business, so you can actually experience it in real time and get good at it. THAT
is what we do on our phone calls.
No company is ever mentioned on those calls. No product is mentioned. No one
is ever recruited.

Some people figure our calls must be rigged so anybody who calls gets
billed on their phone bill!
Listen. Our MLM business brings good income, thank you. Our tools & phone
calls support our people. And they work their butts off. And Linda & I love them
and appreciate them.
We owe everything to this business. It tortures me to hear people denigrate network
marketing because of the greed of some companies and their “Super Star
Reps.”
I don’t do ANYTHING in life that isn’t fun. Whatever I do, it’s because I love it.
So I do what I can to balance the scales. I choose to support with every
fiber of my body ANYONE who invests their hopes & dreams & life into
this industry. It makes my day to help keep their spark alive.
I will train anyone for free. No strings. I am not threatened by anyone or any
company in this industry.
But I do understand that they are threatened by me. Most STILL don’t take the
time and make the commitment to train their own people.
A word for the “Still Skeptical:” I get the skepticism. Really. But enough is
enough. Get over it. If you want to live your life distrusting everybody, then
your life is pretty much over, anyway. Goodbye, good luck. Don’t let the door hit
you in your butt on the way out.
For everyone else: Let’s get started!
Sincerely,
Michael Dlouhy
