Okay. I was a VP of Sales for a company. I received an "OVERRIDE" on all business generated in my region. talk about a pyramid! I was a member of PPL for 3 years before becoming an associate. I believed in the service because I saved thousands of dollars over the three years from using the service. As an associate, I have not done much, but I am copying and pasting my residual income so that you can see that this business works if you sell it right. I don't think anyone on this site has done this yet. Reserve balance means that I "assumed" that memberships would cancel, so I protected myself from that situation." As you can see, I still have over $192.00 in my reserve balance, which means memeberships can cancel, but I will not receive a chargeback unless the number is above the $192.

David, I am sorry to hear that your business did not work for you. But I must say, your business numbers just don't add up. First of all 100,000 associates. There are more. 33,000 associates at a convention, there are much fewer. The Cox Center in OKC doesn't hold 33k, as no basketball type area does. The number is more like 12K. There were more than 300 new executive director that walk the stage, not to mention everything else. Did you want to see everyone in the arena walk the stage? The number is probably more close to 1,500 individuals that walk the stage. Most people that start a business, don't succeed at first. And if you only gave a business two years and complain like this well then... no wonder. My first two businesses Paint Contracting, and website development did not succeed either. At the time I could have blamed alot of outside sources... And did. Now looking back, it was just me and my lack of knowledge and skill. I have been working with PPL part-time as an independent associate for 5 years. And while they don't do everything perfect, and even take missteps. They do try to constantly improve. I have never lied or stretched the truth about what the service can do or the income it can provide. I don't know of the %50 cancellation rate, I just know my rate of satisfied members is 91.8% at the time of this writing. There are people who do much more business than I. I typically write about 100 memberships per year. There is little doubt left that the business model and the product will succeed massively. Attorney Generals and former AGs have spoke to this effect. Again, I am sorry to hear of your troubles with your business. But underlying numbers suggest there has been corporate growth for the past 14 years. I hope that rather than "poo pooing" the product and company, you discover what you can take away from the experience. For me it has been to grow 2 other companies into profitability, as well as my PPL business. to your success,
