As a Direct Sales professional, I often see other business people using deception as a way to sponsor new teammates. Does this type of tactic work? In my opinion, it does not.
Using deception to sponsor or recruit is not only unprofessional, it can be illegal.
Let's take a look at a few examples.
1. Insinuating that the product sells itself. You don't have to work hard, the money just comes to you.
2. Misrepresenting your position within the company.
3. Misleading potential leads by stating that you have a large successful downline, when in fact you have very few teammates.
4. Lying about the commission payment structure, or not fully explaining how it works.
5. Concealing the truth about ongoing business costs and quota requirements.
Why doesn't this work?
Yes, you might be able to recruit several new Direct Sales consultants by using these deceptive business practices, but these new teammates will not be with the business for the long haul. Often times, they will file company complaints against you for misleading them. You will risk your own position within the company that you are representing. The online work at home community, is a small world. People will hear about deceptive practices and that can hurt your business as well.
When it comes to having a successful business, you need to grow a strong team. You will want your team to recruit and build their own downlines. Misleading consultants to sign with you will only cause a ripple effect and that as a whole will not be good for you, your team or your company. So keep your recruiting methods on the up and up. Keep your business and your company strong. Your good name is the key to marketing yourself, growing your team, and your business.
