Drops in the Cup of Water in the Ocean...

What if I said you were a drop of ocean?

And that I was a drop, and the rest of us all drops
together filled a cup,

And then we put that cup in the ocean.

Are we in the cup, or is the cup in us?

And then what if I told you that the cup was ocean too?

Would you still love me?

Why MLM Won't last...

Why MLM Won't last.....

MLM has been around for a while, and it's about to die. For you to understand why I say that, you need to know some background...

When MLM began, it was changing from the regular salesman approach, and evolved to recruiting and leveraging salesmen because they realized that it was better to have "1% of 100 people's efforts than 100% of one person's."


For example, let's say there was 1 guy selling 1000 customers a long time ago, and that guy was working too hard. To gain leverage, they decided to recruit new salesmen.


Then, they went to having 10 guys selling 100 customers- the same money, but better leverage. They improved on that by having the salesmen find more salesmen.


Then, they had 100 guys selling 10 customers.


They they realized that the salesmen had more loyalty to the products, so why not make everyone a salesmen, looking for new salesmen?


Then they had 1000 salesmen, all very loyal to the products because, after all, they were salesmen...


You see, according to the current MLM philosophy, all of the salesmen (or "Reps" or "Distributors", or "IBO's)) are selling to themselves, and are looking for other salesmen who will sell to themselves.

The problem is that someone who sells to themselves isn't a salesman anymore-


THEY'RE A LOYAL CUSTOMER!!!

This is why MLM will die- because it will EVOLVE into something else...

Most companies don't see their reps as customers- and that's where it's been going wrong- the definition of the rep changed, but no one realized it!


When you change your paradigm, and look at the MLM industry not as reps finding reps, but CUSTOMERS FINDING CUSTOMERS, you have a MUCH different outlook on how you grow your business. More than that, you treatyour reps like valuable CUSTOMERS!


When you have reps "Motivating and training" reps, you have one behavior, when you have customers evangelizing and finding new customers, you have a different behavior.


Most people HATE being reps- but LOVE being loyal, RECOGNIZED customers.


Instead of "motivating" your reps with more money (truly, the only way an MLM seems to ever motivate a rep), you stimulate sales with promotions, contests, and FUN things to help your CUSTOMERS spread the word about their LOVE for your product and company.


A friend of mine owns a snack company (PeeledSnacks.com) and to stimulate sales, they got their customers to take pictures of themselves with the snacks in random places. The company president chose her favorite, (and gave prizes for most votes and such) and a few went on the website for the month.


Well, that customer obviously had to ask people to vote, and when they did, they were told ALL about Peeled Snacks. And some people bought some snacks. And of those, some bought "monthly delivery". Well, what the hell is "Monthly Delivery"?


AUTOSHIP.


So, an extremely silly contest (where there was no money involved) generated some new AUTOSHIP customers. If it worked for Peeled Snacks, why not make it work for an MLM?


Here's an email a CUSTOMER might send out:


"Dear friends,


Most of you guys know I LOVE Jingle Juice, and they're having a contest of who can have the most creative picture of a juice bottle. The winner gets to be on the website for a month, and I'd LOVE to win! Please go to http://www.JingleJuice.com/Bonesand vote for me- thanks!"


Love, Bones.


And what happens when they get to JingleJuice.com/Bones? It asks them to vote on pictures, all the meanwhile playing a commercial for how great jingle juice is, and how you can order a sample for only $5, or they can order a full bottle (their vote can even count more!), and learn all about how Jingle Juice pays it's customers.


"You can also watch these videos on how so-and-so lost weight, or made enough money for a second honeymoon. Join our community called 'JingleGym' where we all help each other with our fitness goals, and raise awareness for people dying of diabetes. All available with your purchase- no wonder people all over the world like your friend Bones (whose picture and testimonial is right here) are involved with Jingle Juice."


And guess what happens when you order your bottle? We send you info on our "Paid customer program" and ask YOU to participate. "After you try our juice, you'll know why we don't have to pay Madison avenue to advertise on TV- Instead, you and your family will be our advertisement, and we'll pay you. Sound good?"


We have THIS opportunity RIGHT NOW with HUB to lead the charge of the NEW PARADIGM for MLM- someone will do this, and will be wildly successful at it- we can be FIRST.

How ACN missed their big chance...

On last night's APPRENTICE, ACN did a brilliant thing- and then they dropped the ball...

Last night's CELEBRITY APPRENTICE show was basically a two-hour commercial for ACN and their new videophone. Now personally, I think videophones are THE PAST since we have the internet, but I accept that not everyone is caught up yet, so they might as well sell the phones to Luddites and reps.

So, they had TWO presentations about the phones to get ACN's "Sales force" hyped up on it- What a BRILLIANT move by ACN.

After the presentatiions, which were watched by millions, they had a real ad, directing everyone to their website http://www.ACNPrimeTime.com

I went their to check it out, and saw how MYOPIC people can be...

When I got their, it gave me an option- "See the videophone in action", which told me how great it was (which was wasste considering I just watched 2 hours of how great it was), and "Learn more about the business opportunity". When you click either of these, the MOST you could do was "request an ACN rep" to contact you.

ACN- YOU FAIL.

Why do I say that? Well- here they had a chance to SELL VIDEOPHONES. If they had just put up "Get the videophone for (however much) and get two for (however much) and get the second one to be delivered to your friend or loved one free", they would have CLEANED UP.

More than that, they would have had MORE PEOPLE USING THE PHONE.

Then, they should have just added a RANDOMIZER to let the sale go to ANY of their reps, and given their reps some free commissions, along with the purchaser's info, so they could contact them later and ask about the phone.

Also, during the sale, they could have told them "Join the biz opp, and get this phone for a discount", and upgraded people AUTOMATICALLY, and ALSO given their reps free, random reps.

BUT NO.

Because they have those "MLM GLASSES" on SO TIGHT, they didn't remember to keep the main thing the main thing- which is to SELL PHONES, and create a LOYAL CUSTOMER BASE.

Now, of the many millions who watched and went to the site, I am sure that far too many of them left the site without ever knowing how much the phones cost, nor left any information at all.

ACN- you missed your BIG CHANCE. Next time, call me!

Lessons from THE APPRENTICE

Here's what's dumb about THE APPRENTICE...

On the Apprentice, the team that loses invariably look to get rid of the project manager, or some difficult person. More often than not, they get rid of the project manager. Sometimes the get rid of someone who was causing some friction; usually because they were trying to get the job done.

So, they way to win on the apprentice is to do AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE and not get noticed, so you never end up in the hot seat.

That is an HORRIBLE lesson.

Instead of firing the people who are actually trying to get the job done, the teams should realize who contributed the least, and get rid of THAT person.

For example, so far, Dennis Rodman has been skating by this entire time by NOT contributing, and last night, his team won- so he wasn't voted off.

The women lost, but while Kardashian did NOTHING, they fired the project manager, and almost fired Melissa Rivers, who is definitely a pain in the ass, but is a good contributor to the whole.

At the end of this season, we'll see a bunch of people who have NO skills, NO initiative, and NO BUSINESS being at the end of the show, and that's certainly NOT deserving of being the apprentice.

Here in HUB, we are filled with people who truly WANT TO MAKE DIFFERENCE- even if it's just being a member- you are fulfilling an important part of our collective mission- TO END WORLD POVERTY.

What do YOU think?

Also, during the sale, they could have told them "Join the biz opp, and get this phone for a discount", and upgraded people AUTOMATICALLY, and ALSO given their reps free, random reps.

BUT NO.

Because they have those "MLM GLASSES" on SO TIGHT, they didn't remember to keep the main thing the main thing- which is to SELL PHONES, and create a LOYAL CUSTOMER BASE.

Now, of the many millions who watched and went to the site, I am sure that far too many of them left the site without ever knowing how much the phones cost, nor left any information at all.

ACN- you missed your BIG CHANCE. Next time, call me!

Welcome Colored People!

Wow- Macy's has gotten TWO of the four "Sucky Ads" so far- It's not that I'm around Macy's or anything, they just seem to have SUCKY ADS.

Last night Laura and I went to see "August: Osage county", a drama on broadway (talk about DRAMATIC), and in the Playbill was this SUCKY AD for Macy's:



I think it's supposed to be an ad for colorful clothing, but instead, we get a woman dressed in black and white, and the only COLOR to be found aside from the red slogan is the WOMAN'S COLOR!!

So, Macy's are you telling me to welcome back COLORED PEOPLE? Is this an OBAMA thing? Maybe a new policy at Macy's- "We at Macy's now allow colored people- Welcome Back Color!"

Wow Macy's- You get the award for a SUCKY AD!!

Philanthro-Capitalism to the rescue!

The world, and especially the U.S. is in a crazy position right now. There are people who swear the whole thing is about to come crumbling down, and that the financial markets are about to put us all into starvation and depression.

However, there are all these new businesses sprouting up, and they are all about this "world community" , and socially responsible business.

We're going to have to choose.

And I wonder which is going to win.

For myself, I am going with this For-Profit Humanitarian model- I think it's not only the way of the future, but the way it SHOULD be- profit for a WIDE purpose.

I hope you see it too:

I could make this a longer article, but what for- you get it, right?

Third Trailer!

Here's the new Star Trek Trailer- #3!



I gotta say, I'm worried with this revelation that Kirk was raised without his dad. I get it people- we are all growing up without our fathers, and it's an epidemic, but does EVERYONE in movies have to be an orphan these days? I'm excited, but cautiously optimistic!!
