You also must believe that your product sells the world’s number one – yourself!. I once asked, “How can we both be able to sell products in the world’s number one?” The answer is that every person is unique. No one else in the world who like me or you. Although it may be considered selfish, I acknowledge that no matter what I sell – homes, computers, real estate or automobile, I will remain the number one selling product in the world. I would feel this way if I was a certified public accountant, lawyer or doctor. No matter what I do for a living, I’ll rack my brains to think that is number one. If you do not think like that, there will be no one else could think of me like that too

I think it’s important for you to know that you are unique. Once you know, you will realize how many changes are made in determining whether the prospect will buy your products. Let’s face it, each of us has a monopoly in the combination of the unique nature of our own.

MLM companies have been a frequent subject of controversy as well as the target of lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price-fixing of products, high initial start-up costs, emphasis on recruitment of lower-tiered salespeople over actual sales, encouraging if not requiring salespeople to purchase and use the company’s products, potential exploitation of personal relationships which are used as new sales and recruiting targets, complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation schemes, and cult-like techniques which some groups use to enhance their members’ enthusiasm and devotion. Not all MLM companies operate the same way, and MLM groups have persistently denied that their techniques are anything but legitimate business practices. Multi-level marketing (MLM), (also called network marketing, direct selling, and referral marketing, is a term that describes a marketing structure used by some companies as part of their overall marketing strategy. The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by compensating promoters of company products not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of other promoters they introduce to the company, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.
