Do you know what you can versus cannot say respecting a product? I don't mean what is in your corporate manual, I mean respecting laws of land WHERE YOUR PROSPECT LIVES!

What if your upline is a jerk or incompetent or etc.? Do you have a means of change? Get serious, there are no changes that will take place so forget what manual says.

Makin' Lotsa' Mistakes!

Network Marketing with a worthy company, a product you like, an industry that has a demand curve and with an upline that demonstrates competence is a luxury few experience.

When you have ingredients above you still have to face reality that you either know what do do and how to do it ONLINE & OFFLINE or you don't.

Mistakes happen right? Tell that to some who have gone broke recently, don't tell me!

In today's business world no person can distinguish between a multinational and successful corporation and your or my small or home business - UNLESS YOU TELL THEM!

To tell them is to present yourself as amateur via an amateur website, amateur presentation, amateur verbage, etc. Amateur business equals more business for your UPLINE because you won't last.

Maybe it is time to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and do it RIGHT?

Sponsor an event together. You would be able to split costs and both save money. You both would be able to get word out about your businesses.

Promote each others products that are related but don't create a competition. Just bundle them in a package deal and split profits.

Create a viral freebie together. You both could run ads in freebie. A free ebook, for example. You could allow other people to give it away. The best business ad wins most sales.

There are also disadvantages to these joint venture deals. They may find out important information about your business that you don't want them to know, but same thing could happen to them.

In long run, you may end up becoming friends and partners by developing this relationship. You may even combine your businesses.
