I have to address the concerns of some of the people I've spoken with regarding Network Marketing.

Here is what I've heard recently:

* I've tried Network Marketing before and IT doesn't work FOR ME.

Network Marketing is a vehicle for you to get somewhere. For me, it is my vehicle to financial freedom. My van is my vehicle to get from one place to another. If I were to go out to the driveway, sit in the drivers seat and say "OK - take me where I want to go.", do you really think the van will suddenly start up and take me there?? NO - I have to start the engine, shift into drive, press the gas, navigate it where I want it to go. Occasionally, I even have to swerve unexpectedly to avoid a crash or hit the brakes suddenly in reaction to something someone or something else does. Does that mean I should stop and go no further? When the gas needle gets near empty, should I stop at a gas station and get more gas or sit on the side of the road and wait for someone to come along and put gas in? Do you think many people would stop and offer me gas? How many times?

NO - Network Marketing doesn't work for me either. IT doesn't work FOR ME, I work IT.
Another thing I hear is:

* Don't you make money off me if I sign up?

When I go shopping at the local store, who makes money off me? The store owner, right? So, the store owner should be doing whatever he can to get my business, right? He should have sales on items that I buy regularly. He might even have a shoppers club program where I get free products after I spend a certain amount in his store. He has an interest in keeping me coming back week after week.

If I am making money from your efforts (in addition to mine and everyone else I sign up), wouldn't it be in MY best interest to do everything I can to help YOU be successful and stick around month after month? That is how I make money - by helping others make money. With Vitamark that's easy. We have products that help us feel better, live longer and be less stressed.

Here's another one:

* But I'm not a salesperson.

95% of the population is sales resistant. We don't like selling or being sold to. There are products involved in Network Marketing (if there aren't, it is not a LEGITIMATE opportunity). But, you do not have to sell these products if you don't want to. Most Network Marketing companies offer an autoship program. I'll explain more about that in a minute. Network Marketing is about creating relationships. When most people think of sales, they think of the dishonest, pushy people who try to shove something down your throat that you don't really want or need. If your Network Marketing company offers real products that real people need on a daily basis, you do NOT have to be that pushy aggressive salesperson. I'm not saying "The product will sell itself" because we all know that just like the van doesn't take me where I want to go on it's own, products can not sell themselves. They are OBJECTS. Selling is an action. Objects can not act on their own.

* OK - what's this autoship thing and why do I need it?

Autoship with Vitamark is easy to explain. We like to call it the "Free Product Club". Let me put it this way - Let's say that I shop at XYZ store every week. One day, when I go through the checkout line, the cashier says to me "Would you be interested in our Free Product Club?" Of course I'm going to ask what the free product club is. The cashier tells me that I just need to continue doing what I am already doing - shop at XYZ store, spend at least $125/month and I will get a free product every month valued at around $25. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT???" I ask the cashier. "What is the catch?". "No catch" she says. "We simply think that our customers should try a variety of our products. Maybe the free product will be something you would not normally buy. If you like the free product, you will buy it again, so it is worth it for us to give away a free product to possibly get more business." "HHHMMM...Pretty good idea." I think to myself, so I tell the cashier "Sure, sign me up." What the heck, I easily spend $100 - $150/month on products I need and want anyway, I might as well get a free product out of it.

That's how Vitamark's Free Product Club autoship works. We pick a few products that total at least 100 BP each month and Vitamark sends us a free product. And (as an added bonus) the autoship allows us to get BONUSES (MONEY) that the company pays to loyal representatives of the company. And (as a further added bonus) I get to try a wide variety of products and see what I like best.

* What is this BP and why don't you just say X amount of dollars per month?

Vitamark does business in a number of different countries. That number is growing all of the time. As you may know, the dollar is only the US currency. So, instead of saying "In country X you have to have an autoship of $100/mo. and in country Y it's $69 and in country Z it's $354" each product has been assigned a point value. In order to make the bonuses from the company, everyone agrees to a 100 BP autoship.

* What if I don't want to go on this autoship program?

Well...that's fine too. You will still make some money with the company. You will not get the health benefit of the product. And, when someone asks you "What did product ZXY do for you?" you will have to say "Well...I don't actually buy these products, but you really should be on autoship." How many people do you think will take you seriously??? Think of it this way - if you worked at a store and got a discount on products, wouldn't you shop there?

If you have a question you would like me to address, please email it to me at MommyRoxy@yahoo.com and I will be happy to answer it.

Goodnight and God Bless.
