This is about changing the way we do business and therefore changing the perception of Network Marketing.
The Ten Principles of Highly Ethical Network Marketers
1. Treat all downline and potential business partners as unique and valuable individuals.
Isn’t
it about time we put a stop to looking at people as if they had dollar
signs on their foreheads? Let’s be thoughtful and courteous to everyone
we meet.
2. Support each downlines freedom, growth, and development.
While
there is something to be said about duplication, there is also
something to be said about allowing a person the freedom to build their
business within their own comfort zone.
Don’t create a political or spiritual platform in the business.
3. Communicate to downline by name with respect.
Call and visit your downline regularly and find out if you can help them accomplish their goals.
4. Model and encourage a balanced life of good work and rest.
Schedule time for your family as well as time for your business. Seek balance.
5. Honor and respect downlines families.
That means it’s OK to miss a Network Marketing meeting for a family wedding, graduation or other important event.
6. Protect downlines life, safety, finances, and health.
I
was told of a distributor that stole a downline’s Social Security
Number and placed orders on their behalf in order to hit a
qualification. It’s no wonder our industry has a poor reputation. We
can change it.
7. Create an environment free of harassment.
Treat the opposite sex with proper respect at all times.
8. Be fair and just in financial matters.
Do not encourage anyone to buy anything that would place him or her in financial harm
9. Communicate honestly and truthfully.
Be honest: Don’t exaggerate, boast or brag.
10. Cultivate a positive attitude toward others and their accomplishments.
Encourage,
serve and uplift those around you, whether they are on your team or
not. Work out your real challenges with those involved – face to face.

sounds like Quixtar/BWW
I'm sorry. I about choked on my lunch.
If Quixtar/BWW had followed those 10 priciples, they would never be in the position they are today as the Network Marketing company with the WORST reputation in the industry.
Wow!! It's amazing how many mlm companies do not follow theses 10 simple rules. I was involved in Amway in the late 80's and they just about broke all 10 (especially the rule about not bringing politics or spirituallity into the business).
Keep up the great work!!
You should put those principles in a book. Maybe a 'kingpin' could put it on book of the month…
then again, they already teach those principles. that's how they became the biggest
