NETWORK MARKETING (MLM)
and MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS
Many people are afraid of network or multi-level marketing, but others I
have known personally have done very well with companies such as Amway and Mannatech. I
myself am technically a distributor for Manntech and Melaleuca, both of which make
nutritional products which have helped us greatly. Many of you do network marketing for
free as you tell others you know about products and books you've enjoyed. I would be happy
to talk with anyone who is interested in knowing more about either of these companies or
their products and the business opportunities they provide.
If you have a friend who would like you to join a network
marketing company, it is very important to learn all you can about the company and those
running it. It is also important to find a company you can personally be sold on. I chose
the companies I did because I wanted to use their products. The books below will help you
investigate what's involved in network marketing before you commit yourself or to help you
develop your skills and build a downline if you are already involved. No matter what you
may have been told, a successful network marketer is only going to produce a viable income
when a lot of effort is expended. The millionaires -- and I have personally met them --
did not start their businesses working ten hours a week. Some of them worked long hours
while getting started. Don't expect to get rich fast. But the possibility of making a good
income is there if you are the right sort of person with the right people skills and
a good product and a willingness to work the business.
Inside Network Marketing: An Expert's View into the Hidden
Truths and Exploited Myths of America's Most Misunderstood Industry by

multi-level marketing company. It explains how to evaluate a company, how compensation
plans work, why MLM has been maligned by many in the media and regulatory agencies, what

organizations provide their distributors with a 21st Century network of systems,
procedures, media, and technology that simplifies, standardizes, and even automates the
most difficult aspects of the business. Poe explains what network marketers need to know
about the Wave Three Revolution, how to spot a Wave Three company, Wave Three prospecting
