Girl Scouts Run Like a MLM – Says “NO” to Online Marketing
Posted by: | CommentsOkay, this happened a few days ago and after watching it, it reminded me WAYYY too much of the last network marketing company I was with; I had to share. Check out the video really quick:
Okay… so a girl scout is instructed to sell as many cookies as she can to family and friends so that not only will SHE benefit, but so will the girl scout organization. Sounds fair.
She does the traditional format of selling cookies as the system has taught her – the same system that’s been around for a REALLY long time and has worked. She does fine with it… for a while. But what happens when we’ve run out of friends and families?
Oh that’s right, it would then be time to move on to the second system as decreed in that “Girl Scout Cookie Selling” system: “Thou Shalt Camp Out at Grocery Stores, Bug Every Passerby Whether They LIKE Cookies Or Not.”
Forget that! The father’s got work to do and the daughter’s got Barbie dolls to play with! There HAD to be a more efficient way!
And voila, what do they do? They get creative. They leverage the tools and skill set available to them – they turn to the internet for help. +/-»
And That’s When the $h*t Hit the Fan
"I don't know you but do you want to buy some cookies from me?"
And what happens next is so in tune with how so many MLM companies operate, the Girl Scouts organization slaps them! They wag their index finger and says “no no“!
“No no” to what?! Creativity? The willingness to take action? To try something new? But at least the organization is now “thinking” about it and may be considering it for the future. After all, we wouldn’t want to muck up their system that’s been working for them for so long huh? Never mind that the times have changed as has how we operate as a society today.
Read Like Your Typical MLM Story Eh?
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this video. This reminded me VERY much of the first multi-level-marketing company I was with. I did what the system told me. I went to meetings. I bought CDs. I talked to my family and friends. I gave a list of names (hesitantly) to my upline. Heck, I even prospected everybody and anybody I bumped into.
Did I “sell cookies” (get leads/downlines)? Sure. But boy did it suck.
This not to diss on the traditional way of building the business (because it genuinely works for some) but it wasn’t for me. I was facing attrition that challenged my ability to sponsor more people. On top of that, I had an awful time duplicating myself.
So like that little girl, I got creative. I looked into online marketing as another way of getting prospect/downline.
And just like that little girl, I got slapped. That MLM company literally threatened to shut down my business if I kept doing my online marketing (which by the way… was working which helped me, my team, and the MLM company). Oh, and by the way...»
Why Restrict Yourself?
This is why I decided to quit that MLM company and find an online marketing MLM (one that encourages and allows internet marketing). I believe in internet marketing and prefer to marketing online to cold calling/camping at malls any day of the week. Sure, online marketing isn’t perfect, nor is it the ONLY component of the current business I am building.
But at least now I am able to utilize my strength, my knowledge, and have something at my disposal with which I can teach and empower my team.
Hopefully, you find the same courage, sensibility, and strength to do the same.

How I Got My “Guru” Status
Let me share with you really quick how I got to be an instructor on the ever so popular Better Networker, the #1 social media website for home based business owners and attained the “guru” status as well as finally quitting my dreadful $85,000/year J-O-B.
You see, it seemed like it wasn’t too long ago that I was in my first ML.M opportunity – after buying into the dream of creating residual income and firing my boss. I understood full well the work it entailed to being successful in the industry and I did whatever it took.
I followed the advice of my uplines religiously, I attended meetings and conferences I did the 3 foot rule, I prospected anybody and everybody who was breathing, I did cold call – you name it!
And quite frankly, it paid off!
I sponsored a sizable team and created some income… the only catches were two things:
- The attrition rate was gawd awful (like most other network marketers out there…)
- While I was fine doing it “traditionally“, I couldn’t exactly pass off my mad traditional prospecting skills to my teammates
And quite frankly, I grew tired of talking to a bunch of tire-kickers and wasting my time camping out at malls and speaking to unqualified prospects.
Internet Marketing to the Rescue
To spare you the nitty-gritty details, I did my research online and came across the power of internet marketing.
It was a brand new world for me – a brand new and exciting world filled with unlimited potentials. Just imagine… generating tons of leads, even in your sleep. Letting your “prospecting system” educate and qualify them automatically. Only spending time with those who are serious about your business opportunity.
I was drooling and got to work… That’s right, I set out on a mission to master internet marketing. After spending literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of $dollars and a few years of my time learning internet marketing, I am proud and happy to say I now know how to market businesses and make money online (which is part of the reason why I was able to quit my job).
But They Hated Me for It…
Here’s the kicker though… the goal of learning online marketing wasn’t just to advance myself, I wanted to create a system my teammates can use, I also wanted to teach THEM how to leverage this awesome tool to take their businesses to the next level.
And that’s when I got spanked by my ML.M company at the time. And boy did I get spanked hard.
Apparently… they don’t “believe” nor agree with this internet marketing movement and have banned it from their organization. And they are not alone.
This is my gripe with MOST ML.M companies out there (among other complaints but I’ll spare you) Why do they disallow internet marketing? Why not embrace it for its awesome potential and ability to empower those who wield it successfully?
I had a team of successful entrepreneurs who were as sick and tired of being restricted to the traditional way of building ML.Ms and they wanted answers. And yet… I couldn’t give it to them. So I had to turn my back on the company and seek something out.
Freedom at Last!
And that’s when I came across Carbon Copy Pro. It made so much sense to me. Not only does the system give you complete freedom to market online, leveraging the power of the internet, it actually encourage and educate you on how to do so effectively! You literally plug into a system that’s both educational and effective for building your business.
I know huh… what a concept.
I’ve since jumped over and am loving it. I have complete freedom to explore my internet marketing expertise and leverage all of my knowledge in that area to not only succeed personally but also to empower my teammates. Well, at least those who are willing to get off their butts and do something anyway.
So This is the Deal
I, along with my business partner, am launching a brand new mastermind program designed to getting your website to the top of search results for highly competitive terms and also teaching you how to leverage the power of social media. That’s right, I am going to do what I am sure most of your previous (current) uplines are NOT capable/willing to do – teaching you exactly how to do online marketing.
This new program is called SEO Networker and you can learn all about it here: http://seonetworker.com/letter_mastermind.php
