If you have been involved in the mlm wireless niche for a while, you know how volatile and insane it can be. It is very confusing and hard to pick the right company to work with. This niche has been rife with outrageous claims, broken promises, litigation, and shady characters with less than stellar reputations. How do you the opportunity seeker find a reputable mlm wireless opportunity to join and recommend to people you know.

The hard way is to do what I did. Join a company that took almost a year to deliver on their promises. Although, I can now say I feel vindicated for the support I gave Global Verge as they are now starting to get things truly rolling. They do have an uphill battle in front of them as they repair the damage to their reputation caused by unethical former vendors. It is my hope they get vindication not only in the legal system, but the court of public opinion as well.

After I chose to part ways with Global Verge (hey I am in this business to make money, not wait and see what happens), I joined Panther Mobile. That company also faced their challenges. Paying their distributors was one of them. Now to Harry Aston’s credit, he is making good on those promises as well.

While at Panther Mobile, I also joined Activation King Wireless. The owner of the company had daily phone calls that were fiery and passionate. He got you excited. He even made me a beta tester for his products in Canada (Products being a single sim card for Rogers Wireless here in Canada as none of the other products he promised to ship to me ever arrived). He has charisma, and people, including myself followed that charisma.

We followed it to DNA. Dna was free to join. But this individual also made great promises to the people of DNA like a $10 and $20 a month phone plans that was never delivered. Somehow he got away with it, making the management at DNA look corrupt in the process. After that gong show, I went and became a founding distributor with Global Pros and their branded cell phone service YooTalk.

Not too long ago, I was asked to join yet another company formed by the owner of Activation King by some of my downline members. I declined. Here’s why… Read the rest of this entry »

Ok so this is simply a re-broadcast of what Eric Collins wrote on his blog, mlmwirelessnews.com. But I figured why not re-post it. And I will tell you why in a moment. And no it is not to thump my chest, pat my back or blow my horn. But first, here is Eric’s blog post unedited in it entirety.

So why am I re-posting this? There is a marketing secret in this for you. Are you ready?

What other people say about you is far more believable than anything you will ever say about you. When third party individuals endorse you, your product and/or your company, your positioning or posture as they like to call it in MLM increases. So use it. Add it to your blog posts, websites, sales letters, and all of your other marketing material. Testimonials create believability and positioning you cannot buy for any price.

So make sure you find a way to add testimonials for your company, product and even yourself as a goto leader that people will want to follow.

Earlier this week, Global Pros founder and ceo, Chris Greco was involved in a near fatal car crash. He was hospitalized for one night and released the next day after going through a battery of tests to determine if he suffered any internal injuries from this accident.

Twenty four hours later his life changed forever.

The attending physician, after reviewing the CT scans and blood work recalled Chris to the hospital where he was given the medical equivalent to a kick in the groin.

Brain Cancer.

Devastating news, not only to Chris and his wife, but to everyone who knows, respects and loves Chris. Chris vowed to fight this illness, and ensure that we, his distributors in the field, have a business they can take to market and build and prosper. We are his inspiration to fight this dreadful disease.

Chris is a tenacious fighter. He will attack this with the ferocity of a pitbull. But this opponent is bigger and scarier than any boardroom opponent he ever faced in the business world. And he needs our help.

It has been proven that regardless of a person’s faith, the power of a prayer can indeed work miracles. And we need a miracle for Chris Greco.

On Monday, May 24, 2010 at 7:50 PM CDT, we are holding a very important conference call. We need you on that call. Chris Greco needs you on that call.

This morning I received this email from Kurt Henninger from New School Network Marketing Blog. It was by far one of the most poignant and powerful messages I have ever read. So much so I immediately picked up the phone, called Kurt, and asked him if I could re-print it for you here. I am so grateful that he agreed to let me share this with you.

Enjoy.

At least that is what thousands of blog articles, forum posts, press releases, and YouTube videos would have you believe. As someone who sat on the sidelines as an active e-associate since June 25th, 2009, I felt it was time to offer up my opinion.

The reason for this is simple. Almost all of the Global Verge scam articles on the net are old and outdated. The opinions of these authors are based on misinformation and conjecture that are being taken as fact, by people researching this very viable opportunity. As a result they are making mis-informed decisions.

But, you haven’t jumped on board yet. You are smart, intelligent and savvy. Before you invest any time, money and more importantly, your credibility, you are going to check this company out.

So you start with the search engines. You type in the name of the company you are researching followed by the key word scam.

And then Bam! 239 000 search results come back for your keyword. Read the rest of this entry »
