Atricle Dump - Heartbar - A Network Marketing Horror Story!
It is most important to know that a basic homeowners policy does not cover damage caused by earth movement. Even if you don't live in an area where earthquakes are common, it's possible you might need earthquake insurance.Since the beginning of the 20th Century, earthquakes have occurred in 39 states. Approximately 90 percent of Americans live in areas considered seismically active. Even so, only a small percentage of people purchase earthquake insurance. Even in California, where earthquake fears are a daily fact o
When they took a break, Dave & I chatted with some of the reps. We asked what they thought about what the President said about doing away with the compensation plan.
Nobody heard it!
It was amazing. It was like they were on some euphoria drug. We didn’t talk to one single person who heard him say that!
Something else those reps didn’t know: Heartbar created a product and was selling it to athletes. They didn’t think their reps would ever find out. Of course, the reps did find out. And when they realized their own company was competing against them, they raised a howl.

OK, so it's the New Year and the dust has finally settled after the holidays. Granny has been packed off home and the kids are back at school. All you have to worry about is the huge gap between now and the next payday. You've overspent at Christmas yet again, even though you promised yourself last year that you wouldn't. Credit card and store card bills have replaced greeting cards in the mail and your bank account is looking hung-over to say the least...Firstly, don't panic - sit down and go through all the payments you need to m
The top company in the network marketing industry does $10 BILLION in sales every year. Company #2 does 1 Billion a year. And what’s amazing is, Company #1 pays only about 10% of the commission that Company #2 pays!
Company #1 is very profitable. But, aside from the old-timers, the distributors are not profitable at all.
Do They Even Know How To Spell MLM?
So company management experience with integrity is Pillar #1. Has that CEO or management team ever built a network marketing organization?
A lot of these network marketing company owners come from a Fortune 500 background. They’ve never driven 4 hours one-way to do an opportunity meeting for 20 people, only 2 show up, do the meeting, do the training, drive home, fall asleep at the wheel, pull into a rest area and sleep for a couple hours so they can get home, get a shower, and go to work that day as a secretary, a nurse, a carpenter, a doctor …
THAT is the truth about MLM that these pretty-boy hotshots will never know. Let me tell you a story.
My good friend Dave Cones came to Florida from Oklahoma, in 2002. We were invited as guests to an opportunity convention, because we were doing some consulting with these people. We sat in the audience. It was a 2-day event. We watched the presentations & watched the people there.
The company - and I can mention their name, for reasons which will soon be obvious - was Heartbar, a publicly-traded network marketing company. They were about 18 months old at the time.
President of the Company - Great, Fabulous Guy!
You couldn’t have found a nicer guy … but he didn’t know anything about MLM. His background was Fortune 500.
So he’s onstage doing a presentation, and he said, “You know, I’ve just so enjoyed travelling the world, travelling across the U.S., going to the meetings, meeting such great, great awesome people. What amazing people that we’ve met!”
“And that’s going to have a big impact on our decision, if we ever decide to do away with the compensation plan and go to direct sales.”
Dave & I looked at each other. We had the same thought: “Whoa! Hard to believe that guy said that from the stage!”
The Reps Must’ve Been on LSD!

Nowadays, a person is more or less compelled to take credit from a number of sources to cope up with the increased cost of living. The problem starts when the person initiates the repayments of the various debts. The monthly income falls short if there are too many high-interest debts, such as credit card balances, unsecured personal loans and so on pending against your account. So, there is a probability of a missed payment or a default. In severe cases, a person may be forced to file for bankruptcy when the debts rise beyond his/her con

You bought a house and you were promoted to the position of a homeowner. It was perhaps the most important decision of your life. Now you are taking a loan and it is going to be a decision that will affect your financial plans henceforth. What if we join these two life changing things – homeowner and loan? The result is ‘homeowner loan’. The result is a Good loan but there is a scope for improvement. Let us join ‘personal’. The result is Homeowner personal loan. Now, that is one commendable loan type.If you are a homeowner, I bet y

There are some International Trade Deficit Issues, which the United States is trying to shore up right now. China, needs to right-size its currency although that is five years out and we all know instant changes could cause chaos there. Many businessmen in the United States complain and say that; The problem with the Chinese is that they have stolen all the world's intellectual property, do not honor patents, and mass produce in markets that the companies who own that intellectual property once held.Of course during the Deming Year

The “Dear John” Letter Arrives
And right after this ruckus, the company sent out a letter of termination to every single Heartbar rep.
How could they do it? Because a clause in the Heartbar Policies & Procedures said “Company may terminate the status of any distributor at its sole discretion, without cause, by giving 30 days written notice to the distributor.”
And if you were unclear what they meant there, you just had to read down another couple paragraphs. It said, “Termination results in the distributor’s loss of his or her sponsored downline organization.”
So distributors built the organization, built the group volume, & built the product sales. And the company cut the reps out of the profit picture and went direct sales with it.
This is EXACTLY what you can expect with a management team of Fortune 500 guys who never built an MLM downline. They have no understanding, no empathy for you. Their only concern is bottom line profitability.
So if you built their business for them, but it’s in their financial interest to get rid of you - and they can legally do so - you will be history.
Have you read YOUR network marketing company’s Policies & Procedures lately?
