Editor's Notes
-------------------------------------------------

Normally we don't send you opportunities of any kind. However, this is something we just had to mention. If you are looking to change companies or add on to your current business, we have exciting news for you.

Kara has decided to add an affiliate program to her candle company. Please note this is an affiliate program and not a consultant program. Although the opportunity to build a downline may come in the near future.

This program is being limited to 10 affiliates to make sure it doesn't grow too big too fast. As an original affiliate, you will have the chance to offer your feedback and help this program grow. Plus you'll be one of the first to offer highly scented soy wax candles.

Interested? Details can be found at:

To your success!

Stop Promoting to Competitors
by Kara Kelso & Anita DeFrank

Being a candle maker I often hand 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 attemps to pick up a few sales or new reps.

This doesn't just happen with candle makers and reps. It's been seen it in other places, too. In the quest to build the biggest downline, adivce 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 consultant message boards or groups.

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.
