Tim,
Thank you for the time you have taken to expound on what you see as a successful way to do business as opposed to an unsuccessful way.
As far as how to determine how many that have used the Veretekk system and been unsuccessful with it, I don't know!
What I have seen though is that some have signed up and received the free silver system but never showed up for the free online trainings that would explain how the system is designed to promote any Internet business that anyone might wish to pursue!
The Veretekk concept, as I understand it, is to have enough valuable free services for people to come and use in order for a relationship to be built between the sponsor and the one who subscribes to the system that you are not just marketing to someone "cold turkey"!
You are right, a lot of hard work goes into building relationships and too many want to take the easy way out.
It takes effort to look at the Veretekk calander and see when a particular live interactive training that one needs to attend is going to be available!
It also takes effort on the part of the many trainers who volunteer their time to train others to be able to use the system in the way that they themselves are using it successfully!
There are just no magic buttons that any of us can push and ...bingo, the cash comes rolling in!
I don't mind you getting on your soap box! Maybe more of us need to climb on one and let the people know that business is business and if we don't intend to work one, we shouldn't even "open our doors!"
I fully agree with you about most of what you said, as a matter of fact leads do none of us any good whatsoever unless we can turn a number of them into customers!
My experience has been that a lot of marketers have been working to turn me into a paying customer and I, like most of the other marketers, am in business to earn an income---not spend my savings!
May God bless you with continued success,
J.V.
