DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR SPONSOR IS A SALESPERSON?

Yes if your sponsor is a SALESPERSON! Do you know what I mean? If not listen:

We have different personalities, but yet you can put people in different groups of personalities.  I have a system where I put them in 4 personality groups.

And the SALESPERSON personality is the seller type that forces the products on you as fast they can, talking you down with how great the product is. And when he gets your money into his hand he is gone ...before you know...to the next victims!

Ok, maybe I am a little unfair. They are not bad people, but they want to close you, they see the excitement in getting you into a sale, and then they want the excitement to continue with the next person. Do you think they are the sponsor you need to build YOUR business?

At first it can looks great, the person is so enthusiastic, tells you how many he got into the business yesterday or the last week! He even tells you he will place people under you!!!!!!!

BUT! This person will not have the time to help you and teach you how to build your business. And he will not have the time to help and teach the persons that he places under you. So what happens???

You do not get the education in how to build the business and you cannot teach the people he has placed under you! And they will quit and you will quit!

You have no downline that last for more than maybe 2 months!
Neither has he!

But he will probably start over and get new people into his downline and earn the fast start money...
he will continue to be a seller till he find a new interesting company he wants to try.

So is this the person you want to join to build a business to get residual income?

No! Beware of this type.
