Read a Network Marketing Company's Policies & Procedures Before You Join!

I just talked to a prospect. He was all excited about this new wireless network marketing company he just joined. I told him to email me the policies and procedures (P&Ps). First off, his "awesome" new company's P&Ps are 28 pages long!!!!! 28 pages!!!!! Wow! This company must have paid some over priced lawyer a lot of money to come up with that junk!!!

Anyway, here are some highlights from those P&Ps:

Section XXX (exact details of which I am keeping confidential for my own protection and my prospect's) said that the company has a right to terminate you at any time for "any unethical, illegal, fraudulent or deceptive business practices." Well, folks, that means just about anything that they don't like. You smile wrong, you say a curse word, you lock you keys in your car, whatever, and they can terminate you, steal your downline, and take all your money. And the business you just spent, 2 years (or 5, 7, 10, whatever) building is gone! Poof! Just like that! And you have no legal standing because you signed those P&Ps. You are toast!!

This guy did not even read the P&Ps for this company before he signed up. The company sent them to him in the U.S mail, one week after he joined!

Folks, if you can't see the P&Ps before you join, if those P&Ps are more than a page or two, if those P&Ps contain any red flags (like we can get rid of you whenever we feel like it), then run like heck in the other direction!!!!! Don't join! Simple as that!
