Oh, I wasn't suggesting that your team spend the money. I was suggesting that YOU spend it.

Yes, but your figures indicated you could afford it.

And you asked about growing YOUR business... not that of your team members. It only makes sense to show them how to buy advertising on this most effective system or to do it on behalf of them.

Ah. You misinterpreted it. I indicated that the chances of someone finding a specific website was very small because there were 3,500 plus people selling this opportunity... so the top ones in the listing will always get the hits and the ones far below aren't going to get anything in hits, and your team members are going to "get it in the shorts", so to speak.

That will lead to them trying poor strategies like "buying leads" (spam) which can get their accounts canceled. So... yes, the opportunity is there but it's mostly there for them with the bucks. Since the new ones can't afford this, it would really pay off for YOU to do this and then give the knowledge back to the team.

Got a source on that? This figure is quite out of line with their earnings... unless they're losing that number of distributors each month. That would have put them with nearly 2 million distributors after 4 years or about 5 million distributors after 10 years.

Now... if you figure that only half of our 300 million citizens in the US are adult, then that means that out of every 100 people you meet, three of them will be Amway/Quixtar dealers.

I meet lots of folks, and I just don't buy that number.

Which you would't be doing if you advertised on Google. I think that the Jumpat site is obviously very ineffective and a waste of money and you really need to do some research and spend the money yourself so you can show your team how to advertise effectively on Google and what works best. You certainly don't want to recommend to the team that they use Jumpat.
