I'm no expert, by a long shot, but I believe Network Marketing requires a degree of honesty that you may find generally lacking. For example, who's customer (or network node) is a person? Can they be "stolen"? How can you prevent that or detect it once it has happened? Think of every way possible to screw up the system, add five you haven't thought of, and this is what you'll be faced with.caribgirl said:I would love some feedback as to what the DR culture is like with regards to network marketing.

THANKS.

I think almost anything is possible in the DRcaribgirl said:I appreciate all the passionate replies, but the questions are still unanswered. I would love to hear from some people with actual network Marketing experience.
I understand the negative stuff about Network marketing. I must say there are also positives. Unfortunately there are also unscrupulous people who have caused others to look on the industry with a negative view.
I'm now involved in my second Network marketing company and in six months I have substituted the income from my previous job - (in my country, our economy is terrible, so its a big deal). That was not my experience with the first Net wk.co I was with. The difference this time is a product I feel very confident about and a lot of support from my colleagues right here in the caribbean.
So the questions still stand: Are there serious network marketers in DR? Anyone has a contact.
Actually, it does. I think you've missed my point. The honesty factor comes to play when claiming the people "under your node" in the network. Since you, as their 'manager', are compensated for what they sell. Who is to say who actually sells it, who gets credit and where the money is finally paid? Even in the US this is very dicey but at least here we can sue anyone and everyone. In the DR it makes no sense to get into a business where you have no ability to enforce the rules. It's that simple.ricktoronto said:Network , e.g. Multi Level Marketing requires a degree of honesty? One degree above absolute zero maybe.

Just my 2 cents worth. :classic:

I used to teach English as a Second Language to a guy who was the manager of Avon's Caribbean Operations and he told me that The DR was one of their most profitable markets (better profit margins than The US, France, etc)...also it was very easy to recruit people as there are a lot of people looking for something to do.
