If a company tells you that you have to become a distributor to buy a bunch of products at a discount RUN! The reason why you have to do that is not only because they are ripping you off its because they are going to be teaching you to recruit, recruit and recruit. That does not work at all due to the fact that if you close someone then you will have to call them every single month to get them to do anything. For that reason they will not want to have anything to do with you anymore. In other words a closer is a person who turns someone who is open minded to a product and/or business opportunity into a closed minded person. Furthermore to close someone does not make any business sense due to this following example: If you talk to 100 people you will get ten customers and one distributor. And another thing is that some of your customers in your business will want to become distributors. For example my good friend and mentor Richard Dennis was a customer for two years in his company before he became a distributor. When he became a distributor then he had massive success and became a legend in this industry. So doesn't it make sense after all to be focusing attention on retailing and getting customers?
