>> Every week in the Sunday papers there are Sales jobs that are

>> Now I wonder, how many people who have signed up under Dennis with

>> My guess would be not many, because very few people 'follow through'.
>> If there are many, verification would be nice and it would be a rarer
>> testament to leadership and guidance, and would definitely inspire
>> others to join KB.The majority of people who have requested info on Kaeser & Blair's bizopp, never sign up. Like most opportunities seekers, once they learn work, sales, or real effort is involved, they move on, sending off for info on other opportunities.
Of those who have signed up and actually went out an made sales calls, or created a website and made sales online, many of those are still selling. Since it's supplemental for many, it's hard to say what they could achieve if they made it their primary income sources.
I can say that two of my associates exceeded my sales volume their first year. One had previous experience as an employee selling for a local distributor in California. After a year out of the industry he decided to come back, and found K & B a better option for him. Owning his business gives him more freedom as well as income than selling for the "Mom and Pop" firm.
The other high achiever gets 99% of her sales via the internet. With years of experience at building websites, she built hers from scratch, did all the SEO, PPC, and other things necessary to bring in qualified online buyers, and is still doing well years later. She even relocated from the Dallas/Ft. Worth market to rural Texas, as her online buyers aren't dependent on where she lives.
Others who haven't achieved my success yet, may very well do so when they get the 25 years in the business that I have. Yet, some are enjoying better income then they would as an employee in their local area. And others are glad to have the supplemental income in addition to what they earn from another business, job, or retirement, while only selling part time.
Yes, it's definitely a business for those with 'people' skills, but also a lot less stressful than other sales where you continually have to find a new batch of customers every month. One of the great advantages of this business is the opportunity for repeat sales.
Thanks for your input on both LWD and Kaeser & Blair.

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
