Stop promoting to competitors

Being a candle maker I often hang around candle maker communities. Topics usually include methods on making candles, what type of wax is used, where to promote, and so on. Every once in awhile though, a candle rep will "sneaky spam" the folder in an attempt to pick up a few sales or new reps.

This doesn't just happen with candle makers and reps. I see it in other places too. In the quest to build the biggest downline, advice to plug your link whenever possible has been taken too seriously.

Leaving your link where it doesn't belong may be damaging your business. While you should be networking and leaving your signature in places, there are also places you should NOT be even hanging around.

This is not an attack on reps, nor am I saying individual owners are better. I'm saying it's a complete waste of time to be promoting to your competitors. On the same turn, individual owners have no business hanging around rep folders.

The percentage of people who would be remotely interested in buying or joining your business is very small. Like the old saying goes, time is money. The time you spend trying to recruit or sell to an audience that has zero interest is time wasted without a doubt.
