Summary: The Most Critical Information Ever
Comment: It took me years to understand what it takes to be successfull in MLM and it has nothing to do with one's talents or the lack thereof.
One of the most sure ways I learned in becoming successful is identifing the right company to be a part of and one that is positioned at the beginning of a trend. Richard Poe's book, 'Wave 3 : The New Era in Network Marketing', page 69, teaches you the importance of knowing where a company is positioned within it's markets place.
Just knowing how to apply that chart to a network marketing company is priceless. Yes, I bought the book and THE most valuable information came from one page.
However, let me say this. Because I understand this information I'm able to make a more intelligent decision when analyzing and picking MLM companies. The company I picked as a result of this information alone allowed me to earn a full-time income in 7 months!
So buy the book and study page 69!
I hope this helps you!
Be Blessed and Properous

Summary: The book that started the revolution!
Comment: Richard Poe is the voice of network marketing. His articles in Success Magazine, Network Marketing: The Most Powerful Way To Reach Consumers in the 90's, May 1990 and We Create Millionaires, February 1992 brought network marketing to the public and business communities. Wave 3 became an instant best seller and introduced the concept of mass marketed MLM--a new generation of network marketing opportunities that simplified and automated many aspects of the business. No longer did distributors have to warehouse and deliver products, drive miles to meet prospects and send massive mailouts, now WAVE 3 networkers came to rely on drop shipping and auto ship programs, voice mail, 3 way conference calls, video passout, satellite broadcasts, fax-on-demand services and other technicalogical innovations to grow their businesses, faster, easier and better than ever before.
Now instead of coming home from work and going to a meeting, they can simply dial for dollars or put a prospect on a three way call with their sponsor. It also eliminated the cost of paying for expensive hotel rooms to host meetings.
You no longer had to order cases and cases of product, now you could be placed on auto ship and have your products delivered right to your door. And the company will also dropship the product right to your customers door.
With Wave 3 created tremdous growth in the 1990's. Today, publicly traded network marketing stocks are among the best performing stocks in the stock market. And an ever growing number of Fortune 500 companies are creating network marketing companies as separate divisions to market their products. Some examples include Citigroup, Avon, and Rexall.
As we are rapidly moving towards a jobless society, Network Marketing may be the average persons best change to survive in an economy where there are few jobs. In the 1990's, we saw corporate Americans flee from the corporate world to the network marketing, a tradition that has continued through to the 21st century.
Wave 3 started the revolution and is an excellent book. I would recommend Wave 4 in place or in addition to this one. And the WAVE 4 Way to building your downline.

Summary: Network marketing can't apply in Hong Kong
Comment: It is good to sell the dream of freedom to Hong Kong people, but actually, no one knows if you can gain large sum of money after you invest your money and efforts in this company.
Also, there are many illegal companies, which are working as MLM structure, i.e. pyramid scheme. Those companies are rather people oriented than product oriented. Before they enter the company, they need to pay a large sum of entrance fees, and they earn bonus by referring the scheme to people, but not recruiting sales representatives to earn commissions by selling products. Very often, those companies easily wind up. Hong Kong people are mixing up the concepts of these companies with those legitimate MLM companies, such as, Amway, Nu Skin and Mary Kay. Therefore, most of the Hong Kong people are not faithful to the MLM companies as they are too risky for them to join.

Summary: Network Marketing seems too ideal in this book
Comment: The author stated that the future development of network marketing, i.e. Wave Four will dominate the market, it means that all the companies will be working as the structure of network marketing . It is not necessary for them to spend money on advertising, but they would much depend on people¡¦s network to have a word of mouth communication about the company. But actually, if the company is newly entered, how can it attract the people to be its downlines? In our opinion, promotions, e.g. advertising, are needed to inform the people about this company. The author only talk about the pros of network marketing, but the fact is that it is pyramid scheme and only the upline (at the top of pyramid) can gain large revenue, but not the downline, as those income of uplines are supported by the downlines who below them.
