The True MLM Story

by

Ben Gay III

(Former President of Holiday Magic Cosmetics,

the largest MLM in the world of its day)

Dear Friends,

Thank you for sharing a few minutes with me!

I have some important information to share with you, information that might just change your life, and the lives of your family and friends, forever!

For the past fifty years – much more so in the last 25-30 years – people around the world have been fascinated and lured in by the amazing tales of the money being made by just a very small percentage of the people in the MLM industry. I know, starting 44 years ago, I was one of them!

Because of the possibility of quick riches without a great deal of effort, otherwise intelligent people have dropped their normal skepticism and gotten out their checkbooks/credit cards - frequently having just attended emotionally charged Recruiting/ Opportunity Meetings . . . meetings not unlike the old religious revivals or high school pep rallies!

The people who created “Tulipmania” in Holland way back in 1637 - when plain old tulip bulbs were selling for thousands of dollars a pound! – clearly understood this basic human weakness.

Charles Ponzi, creator of the infamous “Ponzi Scheme,” also understood it back in 1918.

Bernie Madoff also apparently understood it more recently, to the tune of 50+ billion dollars and counting!

And, unfortunately, too many MLM promoters/companies around the world understand it now!

But as P.T. Barnum famously said, “You’ll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the people!” (He actually said “of the American people,” but business and financial ignorance remains a worldwide epidemic!).

While MLM is actually many thousands of years old - as old as business commerce itself – real old-fashioned commerce was/is 100% based on raw materials/finished products/services moving through several hands – each one making a reasonable profit for adding value and/or distribution services to the process - ending up with the actual retail customer/consumer!

Pretty simple and clean-cut, huh?

But then someone figured out that, if you took out any real concern for those pesky old retail consumers/customers, you could move the money along a lot faster by luring utterly naïve players (victims) into the distribution chain.

It’s not unlike a rigged game of Musical Chairs, one where the “early players” know in advance exactly when the music is going to stop, and where they’re each going to plop down!

Ever played “Three Card Monte”?

Ever bought the Brooklyn Bridge?

How about swamp land in Florida?

Some other stupid investment?

If so, you understand the Greed Factor that makes many of the MLM programs work! And we all suffer from greed from time-to-time. Usually to our own detriment. Trust me, I know!

Before I go on, let me tell you “The Tuna” and “Penny Stock” stories. They might just finally clear the fog from your poor old MLM eyes:

The Tuna Story

As my father told me the story, right after World War II, there was an old, rusting, 300 foot-long freighter sitting in San Francisco Bay filled with canned tuna. It had been headed for the troops in the Pacific Theater. But, no longer needed for the war effort, it was put up for auction and sold for $250,000 – both the ship and the tuna!

About a year later, the person who bought the ship resold it for $500,000. Then, after another year or so, the new owner sold it for $1,000,000 . . . and so on for several years, roughly doubling in price each time.

Finally, a gentlemen who’d paid almost $16,000,000 for the ship and its contents went down to the dock to inspect his purchase.

He climbed on-board, went down into the hold, picked up a can of the tuna and opened it. The compartment was instantly filled with the most retched smell imaginable! The tuna had all spoiled!

In a blind rage, he called the man who had sold him the ship and its cargo.

The tuna is rotten!” he screamed!

To which the seller yelled back, “You fool! You’ve ruined everything! That tuna wasn’t for eating, it was for trading!”

My friends, if you understand “The Tuna Story,” you’re beginning to understand recruiting-oriented old-fashioned MLM programs! Simply put, it is this . . .

Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!

And Retailing be damned!

* * *

And now, just to tighten-up “The Tuna Lesson,” let me share the “Penny Stock Story,” another truism taught to me by my father:

The Penny Stock Story

Seems that a friend of my father’s was being touted a “penny stock” by his stockbroker. It was literally just a penny a share at the time! So he bought 10,000 shares ($100 worth).

Every few days, the broker would call him, telling him the stock had doubled! Each time, blinded by greed, he’d shout into the phone, “Get me another thousand shares!

One day the broker called and said the stock had hit $500 a share! My Dad’s friend, his Greed Button by now fully engaged, and owning hundreds of thousands of shares excitedly yelled, “Sell!

To which the broker calmly replied, “To whom? You’re the only one buying.”

* * *

And now you should have at least a somewhat clearer idea of old-fashioned MLM/Network Marketing Programs, Ponzi Schemes, Pyramid Marketing Programs, Chain Letters and Lotteries – many of which are now illegal!

But are all MLM Organizations Bad?

Absolutely not! I started out with just $91.41 for a box of sample cosmetics back on September 15, 1965.

I worked hard, recruited others, had a personal organization actually retailing products, became a millionaire and President of the company! I’ve since traveled the world, enjoying a life most people only dream about!

I’ve met kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, Supreme Court Justices, astronauts, a few thousand inmates along the way, and even a couple of Indian Chiefs!

I’ve owned and/or had unfettered use of private jets, yachts, limousines, huge homes, a 3,500 hundred acre ranch, and a life full of experiences I’d never have had otherwise!

Trust me, even with all of the “ups and downs” (I’ve had my share of both!), I wouldn’t have missed it for anything! And it all began in MLM!

But through it all, it always bothered me – and does to this day – that so many others failed along the way; so many lost their investments – both large and small; so many, who originally believed so strongly in the various products were, in the end, disappointed.

People I know have told me how they feel whenever they join the latest “ground floor opportunity or “launch,” knowing in their hearts it probably won’t last for them more than 90 days.

And how queasy they feel when they recruit their friends, knowing deep down inside that they aren’t going to make it either. Sad. Very sad.

My Suggestion?

Based on my 44+ years in and around the MLM industry, join “MLMSubmit.com” today! My wife Gigi and I did!

It’s free! There’s virtually no risk! Although you may certainly build your own large organization (we hope you do!), it’s all really based on the successful sales of retail products!

And you’ll be able to “spread out” your opportunities over dozens of excellent MLM organizations throughout the world!

Listen up!

Don’t hesitate! Don’t “contemplate yourself” into financial insignificance and obscurity - again!

It’s your time at last!

For your own sake, fight the tendency to procrastinate. Take action right now! You’ve got nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain!

All the best!
