I was watching the SunTrust Indy Challenge at Richmond International Raceway this evening, and was excited to see network marketing companies Herbalife and MonaVie with their names on multiple cars and the pit wall. Add to that Amway North America, who pioneered new ground last year with television commercials and Amway Arena (the home of the Orlando Magic), and it is safe to say network marketing has hit prime time.
To see Amway, MonaVie, and Herbalife side by side with AT&T, GoDaddy and Target is a wonderful step forward for network marketers everywhere. Not only does it bring our company names into the public eye; it legitimizes our business model through association with these major sports organizations.
But with this new exposure comes new responsibilities. We must now conduct our business with the legitimacy and integrity that such efforts by our parent companies demand, otherwise we undermine these efforts. Let us all take advantage of this opportunity to obliterate the negative perceptions of network marketing and portray it as the true business it is.

This book is a definite must read for anyone struggling with their network marketing business, or for those that are looking into network marketing for the first time.
For those already involved and having difficulty obtaining any success, it will help to expose what you are doing wrong, often because that is what your taught by your sponsors.
For those who are just starting to explore the world of network marketing, this ebook can save you from wasting efforts on techniques that just do not work.
This book has seven chapters:
- Everyone is your prospect!
- This really isn’t sales. We just share products with people!
- Anyone can do this!
- We’ll build your business for you.
- We have the best product ever!
- You just don’t have enough belief.
- The proven system.
Each chapter goes in depth on it’s particular “lie”. It covers the kinds of activities business builders engage in based on the particular statement. For example, in the first chapter, author Ann Sieg talks about how many network marketers push their opportunity on everyone they meet: their friends and family, doctor, lawyer, dentist, electrician, and the list goes on. She then discusses how this kind of activity has given network marketing such a negative reputation. She closes each chapter with a glimpse into the way network marketing could be done. In the first chapter, she mentions new ways to get prospects. She focuses on the concept of getting prospects to come to you.
Each subsequent chapter is more of the same, applying the same formula to that particular chapter’s “lie”.
What I like most about this ebook is that is does not feel like a marketing guide or a sales pitch. Her writing is extremely conversational, and that makes this ebook such an easy read. She uses many anecdotes from her own experiences to which all network marketers will be able to relate.
And did I mention it is free?
