What makes the Ultimate Team so different? Continued…
Despite the fact that my introduction to MLM / Network Marketing was so disappointing, (see previous article), I wasn’t deterred from trying again for my appetite had been wetted and still I believed I might be lucky enough to discover the Ultimate Team one day, somehow, somewhere.
So I turned to the Internet – something that – in 1998 -was quite new to the average “Joe Blow”.
I soon realised how little I knew about computers and the internet but it didn’t stop me from LOOKING! Like so many others since, I was easy fodder for the marketing ‘Gurus’ easily succumbed by their golden words and lavish promises of golden fortunes. All I had to do it seemed was to “Click Here” …and all would be revealed. In my imagination, I would then become a member of the Ultimate Team, journeying along the ‘yellow-brick road’ to fortune untold! I wasted what little money I had and soon was broke – again!
What is it that makes an otherwise normal, level-headed man of 50 years, with wide experience in life and business, suddenly capitulate and give in to such trickery? I wondered. After 10 years of such experiences only now do I feel better qualified to comment.
But subsequently, during several other ‘brushes with the magic words’ I came across two worth mentioning. Each had a message for me.
The first experience was discovering Veretekk at that time in its infancy. It looked very interesting and absorbing. I truly felt that in my mind, this was the Ultimate Team opportunity and the path I should take. But suffering as I was from loss of job, marriage break-up and general despondency I felt it was all beyond. It was easier to ‘let go’! (eight years later I returned to Veretekk, joined and began marketing with a vengeance. I consider it now to be “my other partner”)
The second experience was quite different and served to leave me with a bitter and everlasting experience. The business? It was SFI – Six Figure Income. I t was affordable (I thought) easy to do and gave me the opportunity to build my own Ultimate Team.
I put plenty of effort into SFI (as you do!) and started watching my downline grow. As I recall It was a ‘Tap-root’ system. It flourished and within a couple of months I was already receiving Cheques (or ‘checks’ for my brothers and sisters in the USA / Canada). I felt confident that the grwth of my Ultimate Team was almost ‘viral’ (a new term I had learned from Tom Prendergast of Veretekk) and I was about to have my dreams unfold before me.
So confident was I that I now started to recommend to other businessmen I knew. I was reticent to do this earlier as I live in a small country (only 4 million) of which 1 million are in my city. I had learnt many years ago, not to ‘talk too loud about things you couldn’t be certain of’ – lest they prove to be untrue! In those circumstances (perhaps you have the same experience) when things DO go wrong, I knew the finger would point at me – for I was the one who made the recommendation to join this Ultimate Team.
Then it happened! Just when a respected colleague was also beginning to receive cheques in the mail from our golden –egg, SFI announced that it was “Changing the compensation plan”. I couldn’t believe it! How dare they? My lifeline was taken away. My regular cheques-in-the-mail just stopped –overnight! Everything came to an abrupt end. Once again the Ultimate Team I thought I had was gone! It didn’t tke long to figure that the Big Hitters at the top were getting greedy. Whilst they loved the idea of TEAMWORK which generated millions of ‘slaves’ below them developing THEIR downline, they didn’t like the idea of those people being paid as well as themselves! No, indeed, their idea of the Ultimate Team was clearly quite different and one where only they could prosper most.
Naturally, I have never forgotten this last experience. For I am at heart like most normal people on this planet, trusting of my fellow man – that is until something goes wrong and more so , when I am the one who suffers. For some time after this I was bitter and angry with everything – especially the Internet. So I pursued other options.
Now, if you believe (as I now do)- that
“Something good comes out of everything and something good
is going to happen to me today”
you’ll understand that my disappointment lasted for sometime but, I’m happy to say, I didn’t let it get me down.
You see the good news is, that I returned to Veretekk years later with a commitment to learn how to market online correctly – for that was one positive experience I had online. So Veretekk became ahs become a passion of mine – like so many others. It is a different kind of Ultimate Team wherein people join forces to learn and fend for themselves and I have been able to get a different perspective on what is not and moreover, what Is Good Business!
So it is then, that I have come full circle. After several years in the wilderness, through veretekk and it’s relationship with Its Good Business I have discovered and become a member of the Ultimate Team.
Is this a good thing? Absolutely!
Why called the Ultimate Team? Well here’s what I think about that…
A team – any team , is only as good as the sum of all its parts – its members. Believe me, in the past 35 years I have worked with many teams and have learnt much about the dynamics and attributes of different teams. Not all teams are deserving of the term Ultimate Team. It has to be earned and proven over time. But there are certain hallmarks which an Ultimate Team exhibits that others don’t and if you’d like to learn about that aspect of teams I suggest you begin by visiting this link which deals with virtual teams.. http://www.seanet.com/~daveg/vrteams.htm
