Bob & Anna Bassett traveled thousands of miles and even walked on fire. Their feet got warmer, but their check stayed cold.

They worked five long years in a “sponsor monster” money-swap company with a pay plan so poor they ended up with a re-mortgaged house, maxed-out credit cards and a bad case of the “What’s Wrong With Me’s?”. Sound familiar?

In 2006, they read “Success In 10 Steps.” Their business turned around immediately.

Bob & Anna Bassett
MLM Success Story

Ontario – We started our network marketing career in 1999. Over the next seven years, we made just about every mistake possible!

We worked five long years in a “sponsor monster” money swap company with a pay plan so poor that we ended up with a remortgaged house, maxed out credit cards and a bad case of the “What’s Wrong With Me’s?”.

We spent thousands of dollars buying useless leads and even bought ourselves twice!

We travelled thousands of miles and even walked on fire! Our feet got warmer but our check stayed the same.

We stumbled into an illegal pyramid which cost us thousands more. We tried a Ponzi scheme before we knew what the word meant. Ten thousand more went to a mentoring program scam which taught us how to earn $21 split three ways!

The flags were all there, but they weren’t red enough.

In 2006, we read Success in Ten Steps and started to pay serious attention to the Mentoring For Free system.

Our business turned around 180 degrees immediately.

We’ve learned

  1. How to spot personalities and build an instant relationship with them
  2. How to evaluate MLM compensation plans and contracts written by company lawyers
  3. Most of all – the 5 criteria you must evaluate to decide whether a company has good profit potential or not

It’s a sad fact that well over 95% of networkers are failing, but as Michael says, “It’s not your fault!”

If you’d like to find the support you need for the success you deserve, join us at Mentoring For Free.

You’ll be amazed at how just a few hours of free training will open your eyes and help you avoid years of failure and frustration!

Giant “disconnect” in our brains -
by Tom Big Al Schreiter

The distributor complained:

“These leads are useless. I paid big money for these leads and when I call them, they all say they are not interested. Everyone!”

So I asked the distributor,

“When you talked to your relatives, what did they say?”

The distributor replied,

“All of my relatives said they weren’t interested.”

I continued,

“When you talked to your friends and co-workers, what did they say?”

The distributor replied,

“All of my friends and co-workers said they weren’t interested. That’s why I’m buying leads and looking for some hot prospects.”

Then I said,

“Let’s see. You talked to your relatives and they weren’t interested. You talked to your friends and they weren’t interested. You talked to your co-workers and they weren’t interested. You talked to leads and strangers and they weren’t interested. So what is the common denominator here?”

The distributor frowned and said,

“Looks like the common denominator here is me.”

Let’s review.

If our relatives, friends, co-workers and strangers all hate what we are saying, we don’t need new people to ruin. We need to change what we say.

So ask yourself,

“Exactly what do I say in the first few sentences?”

Write this down word-for-word.

I find that most distributors can’t write down word-for-word exactly what they say. Instead, they just babble whatever seems right at the time, whatever comes to mind.

How can we train and duplicate in our downline if we can’t write down, word-for-word, exactly what to say in the first few sentences?

Now, most distributors reading this will continue to stick their heads in the sand and avoid writing down these sentences. And this is where the giant disconnect occurs.

Because how often will we need these exact first sentences?

Every time!

It is not like this is going to sneak up on us. Every time we will have to start with some interesting first sentences.

So go ahead. Write down word-for-word the exact first sentences you want your downline to use when they talk to prospects.

because what you don’t know will hurt you!


It’s bizarre. Distributors spend hundreds of dollars on products, services, advertising, travel, promoting . . . just to get prospects . . . and not a single dime on learning what to say when they get them.

Question to Big Al Schreiter.

Dear Big Al,

As a network marketer, what are the first steps someone should take to get their business going?

I am with a company for about 2 1/2 months now and I have not sponsored one prospect.

The problem is that I don’t really go a lot of places to prospect. I mostly go to work, then home and then church (and I don’t want to prospect at church). I don’t have many friends. And I can’t afford leads, so that out of the question.

So what is a person to do? Please help!

I wrote back -

Hi Joe,

You want a business that pays over $10,000 a month. I understand.

There are two choices.

1. Purchase a business that pays you over $10,000 a month.

2. Create and build a business that pays you over $10,000 a month.

If you choose #2, then you will have to learn how to find prospects, learn how to enroll them, learn how to train and motivate them, and learn how to market products or services.

I don’t think you can learn all of these skills by simply reading one book, or surfing a few pages on the Internet. It will take time, money and energy to learn and master these skills.

Yes, people do earn more than $10,000 a month, but most of them provide more than $10,000 a month in value to their networking companies. We have to provide value to receive that much money in return. We are not providing value by staying home and not talking to anyone.

It is not a matter of choosing a company, sitting back and collecting. Most companies pay well if we provide enough value to them.

So, the real question to ask is:

“When am I going to learn the skills necessary to provide more than $10,000 a month in value for a business that will pay me?”

NARC THAT CAR GETS  AN “F”  FROM BBB
An F = One Step Above Pyramid!
4 Mar 2010 – Editor’s Note: Narc That Car changes the pay plan and escapes being called a Pyramid Scheme!

ALERT JUNE 2010: CHANGED NAME TO CROWD SOURCING INTERNATIONAL!

1.) Previously, an independent consultant must have obtained at least 12 individuals in its “downline” and received two (2) paying third-party clients before they began to receive commissions on “narced” license plates. However, as of March 1, 2010, the company has provided a modified compensation plan which allows for base-level independent consultants to receive commission payments.

2.) Independent consultants will be charged $7 for every compensation check they receive. It is automatically deducted,  The web portal, costing $24.95 monthly, is optional for independent consultants.
Ed. Note: In general, web portals are considered sales tools and it is a NO-NO to pay commissions on them, so this must have been part of the clean up. The BBB’s advertising review inquiry is still pending.

This FREE NETWORK MARKETING REPORT will save you years of failure and frustration!


Have you ever started a job or gone into a new profession without being trained? Did you go down to your local discount store and order a kit to be a lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer? Of course not – to enter those professions, you need specialized knowledge.

What about when you started a job? Did you just walk in off the street and tell them you knew all there was to know about the job and no training would be necessary? I don’t think so. According to most Fortune 500 companies, it takes 6 months of being on the job before the company starts to make any money from an employee. Did you read that? 6 months.

Now why is it that people who join a program to earn extra inc0me from home give up in less than 90 days? Could they be missing an important point in life? If just learning a job takes around 6 months to be good at it, then maybe you can start to see why things haven’t worked out for you in the past. In fact, Jennifer Wideman learned this from Success In Ten Steps.

Jennifer Wideman
MLM Success Story

I was introduced to network marketing a few years ago. He did not have to tell me twice. You mean I can use and share this product and possibly never have to work again? I worked so very hard, even with 4 kids under the age of 6 at the time. My husband was such a great support. However, my upline talked me into 2 more deals, tried for a third and I said there ís gotta be a better way.

I went to the internet and bought an ebook. I asked for help, joined their team because they would sell me leads, teach me how to convert those leads, and at least I’d have real people interested. That’s a long story, but the outcome was a great learning experience. I am still reaping the benefits of the relationships I built there. I cold-called 350 leads or more, converted a few, and learned how to talk to people much better than I had. I also spent a good bit of money without much in return. The leads dried up, the leader moved on to selling other information products and I was told “Good-bye, good luck.”

One of my associates in that organization stumbled across an ebook called Success in 10 Steps and thought I’d like it, so she sent it to me by email. I didn’t read it right away. I called the person I got it from and asked lots of questions. “Just read the book.” She wouldn’t tell me what company she was in, just assured me this group of people could help me.

And it has. Many people in the Mentoring For Free family have helped me realize that I truly can do anything through education and teamwork. My husband, Terry, is the most incredible person in the world. He has stayed with the kids, taken over when he comes home from his job, supported me even when there was no money coming in yet. HE is the real reason I am so successful. My own incredible team also inspire me to be a better person every day. I give God full credit for putting it all together on my behalf as my primary business partner.

We have 4 beautiful kids, 3 adopted from Liberia, Africa. I want to go back with lots of food, medicine, Limu, Bibles, school supplies regularly to this little country and help other children and their parents.

The Success In 10 Steps ebook and the Mentoring For Free group are helping make this dream a reality.

Failure is NOT an option!
If you fail and you THINK that you can’t get up, THINK AGAIN:

Tony and Melissa Casteel MLM Success Story

If you are not having fun, then you are not doing network marketing right! We love network marketing and what it offers! People ask us, “What is the key to success?” The answer is simple:

“FINISH!”

It’s not WHAT happens to you but HOW you react to it that matters. -Epictetus

We were married in 1994. Network marketing has been a big part of our lives since then. We have endured losses and thrilled in our success. Success is a lot more fun.

Some time back, we joined a financial education company. How ironic … the financial education company went belly-up due to poor management. (If we had known then what we know now, life would have been far different.) We built to the top level ever reached in this company and helped one of our frontline leaders build to the same level. Life was great! We lived in our dream home in a gated community on 640 acres. We had deer and turkey in our back yard. We had horses, 4 wheelers and all the toys. We drove new vehicles paid for by our company.

We spent summers on the lake on our houseboat with a ski boat and SeaDoos. We built our business from the lake. We had finally reached our dreams, it was possible!

For 4 years we worked from home together. Life was great – together we would drop our son off at school, go to breakfast or workout, talk to people and just do what we needed/wanted to do on our terms. Best boss we ever had!

Then, our company went belly-up, leaving us high and dry. We lost it all…ALL! We were devastated.

Mentoring For Free was then presented to us and everything changed. Reading SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS changed our outlook, our thinking, and our lives! We had hope – we were given directions on how to do mlm right! We learned how to read our mlm contract and how to understand our policies and procedures.

Do you hear that? That is the sound of stomachs churning … churning at the mention of:

  1. Make your list of 100 people
  2. It takes 100 “No”s to get one Yes.
  3. Throw them up against the wall and see who sticks.

AAAAHHHH! STOP! We had enough!

Thank goodness for Mentoring For Free. What a revolutionary approach … let’s EDUCATE and HELP instead of bullying folks!

We spent too many years in “old school” network marketing, only to have it all crumble. Now we understand why, and we know what really works. Everyone claims to have a “proven” system. Frankly, it’s exciting to have a true workable system. The difference? We’ve seen Mentoring For Free work. This system makes sense, and it builds for the long term … not just the here-today-gone-with-the-next-big-promise tomorrow. This IS solid business building.

You always have choices. You can go on the internet and get some tips on how to get through your day at the job you hate. You can keep plugging away with that “old school” marketing approach and remain frustrated. Or you can have fun building a life in network marketing with a user friendly system. Remember, NETWORK MARKETING IS A BLAST. You owe it to yourself to join the party!
