Using The Web In Your Business - By Mark Rawlins

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:55:36 -0600

In past years, I have watched as the Internet has gone through different levels of acceptance in the MLM industry. The first level was skepticism and ridicule. The Internet was dismissed as a passing fad. The second level was blind acceptance and a rush to get onboard before the train left the station. Everybody wanted to have a personal Web page even if they didn't know how they could use it in their business. The third level, which we are at now, is to understand the importance of the Internet and make sure we are getting value for the money we invest.

Face It, Mobile Marketers, You're Not Normal By Courtney Acuff

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:11:31 -0700

As I tried to make sense of an overloaded inbox on my mobile device's screen while on the train for my daily commute, I had a bit of an epiphany. When I finally stopped scrolling and clicking, I noticed my fellow commuters were either in varied states of sleeplessness or intently surveying their choice of reading material, ranging from daily newspapers to the latest Harry Potter novel. Unlike me, a marketer who spends the majority of her time navigating the emerging mobile marketplace, they weren't struggling with how to type with two hands while trying to not lose their balance. Suddenly, it dawned on me: I'm in the minority. This realization applies to all of us who live and breathe mobile daily. Quite frankly, we're not "normal."

Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay, Fuller Brush ... these are just some of the direct selling companies that have been household names for decades.

The Evolution of the Pop-Under Ad By Jack Aaronson, The ClickZ Network, Nov 16, 2007

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 11:34:01 -0700

For those unaware, the pop-under ad is the window a Web site strategically places under its main browser window. When you close the browser, the site has one more chance to interact with you. Pop-under windows are incredibly annoying and usually have no merit whatsoever. The site's brand feels like a houseguest who overstays her welcome.

Doug Firebaugh- Conversation Piece

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:03:21 -0600

"Starting a conversation with anyone about Network Marketing is so easy, but yet we seem to make it difficult. We seem to hesitate and wonder what to say or do, and we often miss the chance to talk about our business to people who truly would be open to moving their life into a larger place. Why does this happen? Many times, it is a fear because of a lack of knowledge, or experience approaching people. Talking to people about your business starts with talking to people about anything but your business. Talk about their business and employment. Be interested in THEM, not you. And approaching people with a GREAT INTENTION is the secret."

The Power of Personal Authenticity Author: Richard Brooke

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:22:39 -0600

The most authentic and, dare I say, personally evolved people on the planet are children. When we were children anything was not only possible, but expected. Anything we wanted we believed we could have - and have now. Anything we wanted to do we believed we could do right now, without any interference or negotiating. The world was our oyster. It could be no other way - not because we were insecure, selfish clods, but because our very existence made the world our candy store, in which we had unlimited credit.

The Habit of MLM Success

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:06:54 -0600

If there's one thing that is coming ever so clearer to me about MLM regarding a factor dictating a persons success (or not), it's about a person's habits in life. What kind of habits that person has about M.L.M. will literally define the level of success they have.

Successful Network Marketing based on 28 Years Of Experience

Thu, 9 Aug 2007 09:09:20 -0600

Network Marketing rightly managed, and treated as a mentoring business and not as a sales business, would make success the most probable outcome. Network marketing is not about instant or short term success. It is rather about hard work for a couple of years and residual income for many continuous years after that point.

Net Marketing- How to profit from the coming Boom in the covergence of online Buying and Selling By Steve Tomassen

Tue, 7 Aug 2007 08:48:54 -0600

One of the most fascinating changes is happening around us. The way we search for information has had a staggering impact on the way we shop. But why is this so interesting? Simple. The changes that are happening, are happening so fast that most of us aren't even noticing. Quite uncannily, in 1996, a man named Robert Poe predicted this revolution in his best seller book "Wave 3: The New Era in Network Marketing". (This book is available for about 1 cent on Amazon, if you're interested!) He stated, quite confidently, that technology - and the internet in particular - would change the way many of us shop and earn our livings through the convergence of buying and selling patterns. Specifically, that it would be possible for marketers to earn commissions by referring sales and for consumers to gain discounts as members, or affiliates if you prefer, of this new breed of cutting edge company.

This MLM article is brought to you by YourSolutions.net a MLM Software, MLM Consulting and MLM Solutions provider.

No, this isn't a piece that focuses on my prowess in the creative and interactive field; I'll save that for some other time. What came to mind when considering the state of online lately is how there are thousands, if not millions, of ways to showcase compelling creative, either using rich media technologies or just plain old video. Some work out there is truly brilliant, yet there's no standard as to how much you should pay for something with brilliant creative power.

How Are You Influencing The People You Meet? By Jane Avery

Sun, 8 Jul 2007 18:35:42 -0600

Being A Mentor With A Servant's Heart Have you ever thought about how many different people you have influenced in your life? How many people will you influence today, tomorrow, next week, or even next year? Today I was asked that question. I had to stop and think about what my answer would be. But, even more important - how did I influence those people? Was my influence positive or negative? Was I able to help them in some way to solve a problem, to understand a situation, or even to take a step forward in becoming a more positive or successful person?

BRING IT ON, BABY!

Fri, 6 Jul 2007 20:58:32 -0600

I recall my grandpa when I was a child putting a fine point on this issue, which was hard for his 8 year old grandson to understand back then. As children often do I was in a hurry to get places, fell down and skinned my knee in the process. Grandpa Walker glanced over at me with his wicked smile and said, "Want me to step on your toe so your knee will feel better?" Obviously not the most loving of statements a grandfather might say to his grandchild, however, there was no doubt that grandpa loved me. He just had a special way of showing it. Upon his passing the phrase, "Diamond in the rough" was etched on his marker.

How to Guarantee a GREAT Day Every Day! by Chris Widener

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 21:18:30 -0600

Several years ago, I had a standing interview every Monday morning on a radio station in the southeast that I enjoyed very much. You can imagine, though, that it became routine. So to make it a little more fun, the host got to where he didn't even tell me the topic before we would go live on the air - that put some excitement into it!

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 22:33:48 -0600

Put Relationships Back Into Marketing

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 19:35:40 -0600

MLM has been called "Relationship Marketing". Yet, rarely do I see people developing relationships at the same time they are marketing. They market... and then they build relationships. The key to effective follow-up is putting Relationships... back into marketing. We are after all talking to real people, with real hopes and real desires.

MLM Business Strategy - Abracadabra! How To Change a Failure Into A Success By Richard Dennis

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 20:07:55 -0600

How can you do something and then use it over and over and over and over again?

How do I keep a new recruit? Kim Klaver and The New School Network Marketing

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 20:58:09 -0600

"Tell them to get more recruits," said Lulu's sponsor. "The money's in the recruiting." Then he said: Sell a rep $1500 worth of product; earn 10%: get $150. Sell a customer $150 worth of product; earn 10%: get $15. Recruiting wins. Why bother to tell them about getting customers? Because... .

MLM Training - Afraid of Talking to Prospects? Get Over it Fast With This Training Checklist By Tim Sales

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 20:49:29 -0600

Poison paradigm? (Network Marketing and Software Development)

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:31:04 -0600

It's incredibly hard to think of new paradigms in network marketing when you only hear the accepted perspective on how to "do" it from old school upline, trainers and corporate types. These are people who promote a 50 year-old pardigm of recruit recruit recruit that has 1) resulted in a 95% drop out rate, and 2) has given us an image among many that's on a par with having leprosy or aids. In today's market place, old school network marketing has become a poison paradigm.

Real Estate Agents - Steady Your Income With A Network Marketing Business By Bob Crane

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 19:05:37 -0600

As a former real estate agent I know how erratic a commissioned sales job can be and the importance of having an alternate source of income. With real estate sales and home values fluctuating constantly you cannot depend on a specific amount of sales taking place each month to pay you a decent income. Starting a network marketing business would go well with a real estate career.

Believe in Yourself

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 20:09:57 -0600

This is from the June Cognigen Times.....
One of the more pronounced problems seen around the country these days is the problem of low self-esteem. Sure, almost everyone has acquired the ability to "mask" that feeling from friends, family, co-workers, even sometimes their spouse, but deep down, they still feel low self-esteem. They feel like they should be doing more, but they don't believe they have the ability to change their "life circumstances".

Home Business (a brick and mortar regular business or the best type of home business (which) is of course the internet home business) By Jonathan G. Michel

Thu, 7 Jun 2007 19:03:20 -0600

Before you even think of starting your home business, and thinking you'll be an overnight success without any or little effort, there is no such thing. It takes a lot of work. On the other hand, there are two types of home businesses. The type that can be compared to a brick and mortar regular business, but doing it from home. The only advantage to this, is you've gotten rid of most of the overhead expenses. But the best type of home business is of course the internet home business, because you're not limited to one specific location. The world is your window, and that window is open 24/7 even as you sleep.

Direct Internet Network Marketing By Daegan Smith

Tue, 5 Jun 2007 22:01:52 -0600

Today's message is on a topic I rarely see discussed online, that being how to apply direct marketing principles to your network marketing business. To be fair, network marketing itself, does in fact follow a direct marketing model, but not in the most efficient way. It's understandable why, in many highly successful direct marketing businesses the phone is a key component to creating results, but you don't see the owner of the organization on the phone themselves, rather they hire a phone room to do the dirty work. When done properly it can be highly effective, but when done improperly it can alienate your customers and give them a bad impression of you and your business.

Advertising on the Surface Using Ad Technology By Eric Picard

Mon, 4 Jun 2007 19:43:38 -0600

Microsoft's new Surface technology (http://www.microsoft.com/surface/) enables an intuitive, human, and social computing experience. I've known about this technology for a long time as an internal Microsoft guy -- I've seen demos, some as recently as a few weeks ago. But I know nothing that hasn't been publicly announced. So anything I write here beyond what you can see on the Surface Web site is speculation.

ABC 20/20 has Mannatech in the news...By Kim Klaver

Sun, 3 Jun 2007 20:37:57 -0600

In an ABC 20/20 segment (See "Sugar Pill Treats Cancer?") Mannatech is in the news again. Posted by Kim Klaver: I have removed the original post, because it was probably not productive criticism on my part. Here's what might be more productive: How do we answer trick questions by the media so we don't get into trouble with the regulators, and yet stay true to our beliefs? Here's the question ABC posed in the segment above: Does your product cure cancer? (We can as easily make the question: Does it reduce weight? Does it grow back hair?) It's about promises - promises about the future, isn't it? OK. Now picture this interview... NEWS PERSON (or customer): Does your product cure cancer? CEO/you/Rep: I don't know if it does or not NEWS PERSON (pressing): Well does it or doesn't it?! CEO/you/Rep: I don't know. We do not claim or promise that it does that [whatever, cure cancer, lose weight, etc.]. So the answer is, I don't know if it does cure cancer or not. NEWS PERSON (pressing more): Well there are your reps saying they were cured of cancer with your product. Were they? CEO/you/Rep: I don't know for sure. It may have been a placebo effect. 30% of medical cures are reported to be from the placebo effect. It may have been that. I don't know. We make no claims or promises about what the product will do for people, that's what I DO know. You're not denying what you may have seen or the stories of others (or your own). And yet you are making NO CLAIMS or promises about what might happen for anyone else. This reflects the New School approach. No need to deny what you believe you've seen or experienced. Yet, make no promises. Think?

A Home Based Business Opportunity to Work at Home - Fantasy or Reality?By Patti Blevins

Sat, 2 Jun 2007 09:06:23 -0600

Have you ever dreamed of working at home? An increasingly popular choice of home based business is network marketing. What is network marketing…yesterday, today, and beyond? Is it likely to change in the near future? These are all important questions to ask as more and more people are seeking a home-based business opportunity and hoping to work at home to make their dreams come true. So what was network marketing in the past? It was a somewhat primitive version of what we now have today. You could create your own network of marketers, train them to sell, and then unleash them to make sales, so that you could earn commissions. However, there was one critical, simplifying, streamlining component missing: the Internet.

10,000 Unrecruited Heavy Hitters - And No One Is Calling Them By Leonard Clements

Sun, 27 May 2007 22:50:51 -0600

Several months ago I received a call from one of my downline distributors inquiring about a good "MLM list." Bob then asked specifically if a list of "heavy hitters" existed and how I might approach them. My response was something to the effect of "Bob, why would you want a list of people who are the least likely to want to join your opportunity?" After all, heavy hitters are people who are making huge monthly incomes (that's why they call them heavy hitters, right?). I'd assume they like making huge monthly incomes and probably would not be too interested in walking away from it and starting over from scratch. "But Len, think about it," Bob persisted. "Just imagine if I could have recruited...". Bob then reeled off the names of three major heavy hitters, all well known throughout the industry (however, we'll just call them Mark, Jim and Ken). Bob began to fantasize about the great wealth to be had by recruiting the likes of even one of the three mega-earners he listed.

Great marketers sell more stuff. True or false?

Mon, 21 May 2007 19:00:18 -0600

Dietary Supplement Marketing - Rethinking the Use of Third Party Material The Sequel

Sun, 20 May 2007 17:26:41 -0600

The TPLE is a great way for multilevel marketing companies to disseminate useful information about dietary supplements. While there is little guidance from the courts interpreting the boundaries of the TPLE, the FDA has sent a clear message on its position with its warning letter to Xango. The FTC has yet to directly address the issue in litigation, but by all indications, if (when) the Commission brings a case, it will closely scrutinize the relationships between the authors of third party material and the company disseminating it. If there is a material connection, the FTC will treat it as all other dietary supplement advertising cases by demanding that there be competent and reliable scientific evidence to support the claims contained in the third party material. The warning signals from the FDA and FTC are clear. Supplement marketers are cautioned to pay close attention to these signs and conduct themselves cautiously. So far the FDA has only issued a warning letter, but if gun-slinging network marketers continue to press the limits of the TPLE, we will certainly see more stringent measures from the government. When this occurs another sequel to this article will follow, but like Ali vs. Frazier II and III, the sequels should prove more and more interesting as the stakes are raised.

Success lies within us all... By David Mincey

We have all heard the expression "if it is to be, it's up to me" If you have been in this industry for any amount of time I am sure you have heard it, or something very similar.

If you want to be successful in this industry, look deep within yourself, set goals and have a strong "why" (why you are doing this). Keep re-visiting your goals, stay focused on your "why", and NEVER give up!

Get In Touch With Reality.....Reaching Your MLM Goals

Mon, 7 May 2007 21:11:33 -0600

One of the traits of current television programming is the various series of "reality" shows. While I am not sure how much any of these really depict the "reality" of anyone except a select few, the trend does raise the question: Are you in touch with your own reality?

Increasing Link Popularity by Vern Black

Tue, 1 May 2007 19:18:51 -0600

When it comes to online network marketing, mlm, direct sales, and affiliate marketing author Vern Black's article tells it like it is. "Search engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are the first tool that potential customers use to find the products and services they need. This is why link popularity is so imperative. If the customers do not find your website, you have no possibilities of making any sales."

Dietary Supplement Marketing - Rethinking the Use of Third Party Material By: Spencer M. Reese

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:22:07 -0600

Marketing dietary supplements is tough. While we at least have the latitude to make structure - function claims in the United States, and therefore have more options than most other countries, FDA laws prevent marketers from saying what they really want to say. Let's face it, if a marketer's advertising states "Brand X antioxidant is effective in the prevention and treatment of cancer" and follows it up with tear-jerking testimonials from a cancer survivors describing how brand X gave them a new lease on life, brand X is going to sell a lot more product than the competitor who simply states in plain vanilla fashion that their antioxidant supports proper immune system function. The downside of course is that claiming that brand X treats or prevents cancer renders it a new drug and exposes brand X to enforcement action by the FDA.

Mike Dillard Tip On "List Building"

People always want to know how YOU and your system can help them make money. By showing them a "marketing 101" type of series that educates them you build credibility and can convert a better percentage of these people into business partners later.

Turning tables on Mr. Minkow Part 1 By Kim Klaver

"Eighty-five percent of distributors are losing money, 74% will fail within their fist year." Forget everything else in his report. Focus on this one statement. Read it. Say it. The Wall St. Journal reported it. USANA acknowledged it. Len Clements admitted it - that yes, Minkow was right about this. Does the fact of these numbers shake your belief in the dream? It's a dream-buster, isn't it? Almost un-American. What do you mean, most people aren't making it? How dare you!

Postcard Marketing Success Tips

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 18:10:21 -0600

Postcard Marketing Success TipsPostcards may not be the most popular marketing tool in our modern high-tech business world. That's too bad because they can be a very cost-effective way to generate website traffic and sales leads ...if you do it right.

Here are 5 proven tips that will help you create powerful marketing postcards guaranteed to produce a big response.

1. Make a Big First Impression

People like getting postcards from friends and relatives. They don't like getting advertising mail. Make your postcard look at first glance like a message from a friend instead of like an advertising announcement. It creates a warm friendly reception for your postcard.

For example, use the same typestyle and layout you would use to send a postcard to a friend. Use a date at the top ...even if it is something like "Monday, 11:15 AM". And include a real "from" name at the bottom ...even if it's not handwritten.

2. Get Right to the Point

Postcards get delivered in a format that's ready to read. Take advantage of this by making the biggest benefit you offer the first thing the reader sees. This will make them want to read the rest of your postcard.

For example, state your biggest benefit as a headline at the top of your postcard ...or make it the first item on a bulleted list of benefits ...or highlight it in bold type if it's in the body of your postcard.

3. Sell the Right Thing

Marketing postcards are most effective when they are used to generate website traffic or sales leads. They are less effective for closing sales because they don't provide enough space for a detailed sales message.

Design your message to sell the reader on seeking more information instead of trying to close sales.

For example, don't include much (if any) actual information about the product or service you are selling on your postcard. Instead, promote the major benefit (or benefits) they provide. Then persuade the reader to visit your website or to take some other action to get more information from a source where you can close sales.

4. Be Clear and Direct

You have only a few seconds to get the reader's attention and to persuade them to take the action you want. So keep your message brief and make sure the reader can clearly understand it with just a quick glance.

For example, limit your postcard to just a few short sentences with blank lines between them. Reduce several sentences to a short bulleted list to save space and reading time.

Always end your postcard by telling the reader exactly what to do to get more details - and include a reason to do it immediately.

5. Stimulate Fast Action

Just telling your reader how to get more information is not enough. You have to give them a reason to respond NOW or many will put your postcard aside to do later ...then get involved with other things and forget it.

For example, offer them a discounted price, a special bonus or some other benefit if they reply to your postcard by a deadline.

Postcards are not new or high-tech. But that's not a reason to ignore them. They can generate a lot of website traffic and sales leads for a very low-cost.

Follow these 5 proven tips and you will discover how to create powerful marketing postcards guaranteed to produce a big response.

MLM Compensation and Perks

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 21:28:16 -0600

When doing due diligence on an MLM company one of the key areas is evaluation of their compensation plan. First, compare the target company plan to industry. For example, it would not be proper accounting to consider "wholesale discounts" as part of commission expense. Therefore, any comparison to industry would have to include wholesale discounts as a deduction from Gross (Retail) Sales. Why? Because no serious person doing the business would buy at retail (making Gross Sales a meaningless figure). For additional comments on discounts see the post made 10/17/06, Direct Sales Compensation and Discount Structure (Industry).

How to Use Hidden Psychological Triggers & Sell More Products and Services by Yanik Silver

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 05:20:57 -0600

For some reason everyone wants to be mysterious about their business. If you're lowering the price nobody thinks you're doing it just because you're "such a nice guy". So let people know the reason why. I know this probably goes against every grain of business sense, but I promise if you give people a good, believable reason why they'll respond with an open minds and more importantly, an open wallet.

Building Your Next Event: Pre-Event Planning By Kerri Scarbrough

Sun, 8 Apr 2007 20:33:09 -0600

Never underestimate the power of your corporate events. Most direct sales and network marketing companies share the philosophy of "building to events." This means that everything you unveil or announce at your event will take your company and your distributors through to the next event. Because events play such a major role in your overall business plan, it is important to invest time and energy into your pre-event planning. Here are some important, but often overlooked, pre-event planning elements to save you time and money on your next event:

Door-to-Door Sales By Kevin D. Grimes, Attorney at Law

Fri, 6 Apr 2007 22:35:41 -0600

This article will address the legal issues surrounding "door-to-door" sales in the United States.1 Lest you think that the activities of your distributors do not involve "going door-to-door," you should be aware that the federal definition (as well as most state definitions) of a "door-to-door" sale encompasses considerably more than a salesperson who merely goes from house to house and knocks on doors to make product sales. Essentially, the regulation applies to sales of goods or services of $25 or more that occur anywhere other than the seller's principle place of business. Thus, in addition to in-home solicitations, door-to-door sales also include flea markets, fairs, and other show environments. (See the Discussion section below for the Federal Trade Commission's definition.) Accordingly, direct selling distributors and the companies whose products they sell, should be aware of the requirements of federal and state "door-to-door" legislation.

Spam, the Law, and E-mail Marketers - E-Mail Marketing Optimization - By Derek Harding

Sat, 24 Mar 2007 19:20:07 -0600

Derek Harding puts E-Mail Marketing Optimization into perspective. He writes, "...in the past six months the amount of spam arriving at one of our small servers has gone from 4,000 per week to over 200,000. That's not a typo, that's a 50-fold increase in just six months to a server that's been operating for several years. Our other servers are seeing similar increases. If this rate continues, the same machine will receive over 10 million messages a week by the end of the year -- and that's just a single server. Last year, we had to drastically rework how we deal with spam because of the enormous increase in volume. While that's a dramatic amount, it isn't that unusual. Most providers have seen enormous increases in the same timeframe."

Marketing Through Common Short Codes

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 15:45:43 -0600

After landing in New York last week, I grabbed a taxi to my hotel. The driver didn't know the location of my hotel, so I simply entered the text "Paramount Hotel New York City" to 46645 (GOOGL). Within seconds, the hotel's address and phone number were returned to me, via text message, compliments of Google. Rather than use mobile Web or standard 411 directory assistance, I had the information I needed, when I needed it -- while racing through the streets of New York. If you haven't already participated in a short-code-based campaign, try GOOGL. It's easy and addictive!

10 Ways to Beef up Your Leadership Skills

"Have you ever heard someone say, "Actually, I have to admit that I think I am really bad at managing other people. My staff all hate me and I'm incapable of doing my job". The answer is no, of course. No one says this either because they don't believe it, or because they don't want to appear incompetent. Unfortunately research tells us that from the employees' perspective, there aren't that many terrific managers out there.

Maximum Marketing - Minimum Budget by: Bonnie Jo Davis

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 21:10:18 -0600

Two years ago I started my small Virtual Assistant business with a non-existent marketing budget. I borrowed marketing books from the library, read countless articles on the Internet and joined a professional trade association of my peers. I learned hundreds of marketing techniques and one valuable lesson. The lesson I learned is that the financial ruin of large companies is often achieved by incredibly expensive and glitzy marketing plans that do not take into account the company’s ability to earn a profit. Over time, I found that the most effective marketing techniques that allow a company to make a profit are those that are inexpensive or free. What a fantastic discovery for me at that time! This knowledge, combined with hard work and excellent customer service, enabled my small business to expand at a phenomenal rate.

Title: Work At Home Network Marketing Business -- A Great Way To Pay For College By Bob Crane

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 21:39:30 -0600

There is a lot of anxiety these days about how to pay for the necessary college degree. There is no doubt that in order to make a really decent living you have to have a college degree, at least an associate degree. But in order to get to the big paying careers you normally have to go to school a lot longer, sometimes eight years. The problem with going to school that long is that you can run up a significant amount of debt that will take you years to pay off even with a high paying job. In order to help minimize the debt that you can run up in college it would be a good idea to have a source of income to offset your expenses.

Dietary Supplement Marketing - Rethinking the Use of Third Party Material The Sequel By Spencer M. Reese

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 21:35:50 -0600

In October 2006, I wrote about the Third Party Labeling Exemption (TPLE) to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act ("DSHEA"). The thesis of the article was that a misuse of the TPLA has evolved among dietary supplement marketers in direct selling channels, and that it is simply a matter of time until the shoe drops on the practice. Two days after the article went to press, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that Xango received a warning letter from the FDA relating to third party material that Xango distributors were using to sell Xango's products and recruit new distributors. So in this case, recent developments call for a sequel.
