Beware of the Biz Op Gypsy
©
2002 By Sandra Stammberger
Traditional gypsies have traveled around the world for
years running scams, taking people's money, and heading out
of town faster than you can blink your eye. They
normally offer "too good to be true" products,
services, or investments that make you drool and have you
dreaming of riches. The problem is. only part of what
they say is true.
In the Information Age, you have to beware of the biz op
gypsy.
Along the same lines as the gypsy of old, biz op gypsies
look to have you buy into their so-called
"opportunity" so you can make hundreds of
thousands of dollars with very little work.

Anybody who knows anything about Internet business will
confirm in a heartbeat that life online is not effortless!
While there are some quality business opportunities
available, don't let visions of sunbathing by the pool while
- at the same time -
raking in thousands of dollars a day cloud your judgment.
When making your decision about which business opportunity
to seriously consider, take the following points into
consideration.
1) Sounds Too Good To Be True
- One of your first clues will be the tales of how easy
it is to get rich. "No work on your part,"
"The company does everything for you," and
"Immediate rewards" are lines gypsies like to use.
I'll tell you now, regardless of how good the biz op is, you
will still have to work to be a success. Be very wary
of sales pitches that include the
statements above.
2) Ask the Person: "What Have Been Your Experiences
With This Company?"
- Granted, good gypsies will tell you of all the wonders
they've performed with the help of this company, and how
easy their lives are now. That's great! But
don't settle for lip service. Ask for proof.
Commission check stubs bearing their names, receipts, or
other hard documentation will help to back up their claims.

3) Contact the Company Directly
- The "home" company will be very aware of its
"top sellers." If for some reason they are
not, with the salesperson's company ID number, you should be
able to confirm everything the supposed gypsy is saying.
Better yet. arrange a 3-way call with the company, the
gypsy, and yourself.
4) Limited Time Offer
- This is one of the most effective tactics biz op gypsies
use. You'll normally be pitched a line that has
something to do with the home company closing registrations
soon because the company has been so successful.
You'll be told this is your last chance to get into the
group. Nonsense! Legitimate MLM or biz op
companies know how valuable their representatives are.
They are fully aware that their reps are the ones that make
the money for them. No legit companies would close
registrations of new members - unless they were going out of
business themselves.
5) Use Your Common Sense
- Think about what you are being told.
Consider the "flow" of a business. For
example, the company might state that they provide
"everything you need" to be successful. This
could include brochures, a Web site, letters,
sales forms, products, etc. Before you get too
excited, stop and think about what's missing. Who will
you give the brochures to?
How will you get traffic to your Web site? Who will
buy the products? The customers! The home
company needs associates to bring them customers.
Basically, any MLM or biz op company is looking for
salespeople. That's you! And believe me. it
takes a lot of time and energy (at first) to build a
customer base before you begin seeing the piles of money
some gypsies tell you about.
Think things through, and use your common sense when
considering business opportunities. There are some
excellent companies available that offer tremendous benefits
and support. The upstanding ones will gladly give you
full disclosure. The reason? It's a waste of
their time to bring in associates that are not fully
prepared and able to work for them. After all, the
riches come - for you and the home company - when sales are
made.
Keep investigating until you find an opportunity that's
right for you. Then you can work toward financial
independence with the backing of a legitimate organization.
