Emerald, Greg Franics promotes the new Leadership Team Development CDs:
Buy The Tools - Buy The Tools - Buy The Tools
My favorite quote is:
"looking forward to seeing huge tool orders"
Of course Greg Franics is looking forward to huge tool orders. Cha-ching. He makes money every time one is sold in his downline.

Ty,
I like this response, because of the #2:
“The System Doesn’t Work”
If the system works – there’s nothing wrong with profiting. You and I both make money selling blogging, marketing, etc products to our team and the generic MLM community.
I think the actual problem in Amway/Quixtar is 3 fold:
1. The system costs are abusive – it’s one thing to profit, but another to abuse it.
2. The top guys don’t know how to recruit anymore, (in a lot of teams), so the training sucks on actual sponsoring.
3. They’re secretive about the tool money (In my organization, it took me 3 1/2 years to get my upline to admit that there was money made off of tools – I would have loved the idea, had I been told when I started)
I love some of those Amway tapes, and still have a closet full and listen from time to time, but when it comes to training, almost every MLM company has better training on how to BUILD the business.
The worst training on recruiting I’ve ever heard in my life is Bill Hawkins ‘Prospecting In The 21st Century’
It has hundreds of thousands of people wandering around in shopping malls to grow their business.
I’d rather do almost anything else for a living.
That being said – I don’t think discounting what Amway has created is entirely smart.
I created an offline system that uses elements of what I learned in Amway for my own team, but the profit margins are way less, and my whole team earns a 1 level affiliate pay for it to cover their own costs.
There is some value to it – regardless of it’s abuse.

Hey Dave,
I do make money selling information products, but I provide these products to my team at EIRO for free. I don’t charge my team for training, because I make money when I help them succeed.
