What is integrity?

Integrity is making sure that your business practices are designed to do what is best for your customers, your downline, and you.(In that order!) When you are bombarded every day by people sending you to websites that teach you that you do not have to do anything but to throw some ads up on free internet sites and you will become a millionaire, that is not integrity.

In the industry this is calling "churning and burning." It involves suckering people into your program by telling them that they don't have to do anything to make boat loads of money. When the truth is every worthwhile business takes time, work, and money. To teach otherwise is simply being dishonest.

It doesn't matter which company you work for, if you don't treat your customers or your downline right it will cost you big time! If you try to tell people that they don't have to work to make money, it will cost you in the end. If you don't make clear all the ways you are going to make money from your customers or your downline, you will pay a price.

It is never right to deceive your customers or your downline. They need to be brought up to speed as quickly as they can understand and they need to know what you know. If you are building your business any other way than the way you are teaching your downline, you are not working in integrity and you will eventually loose them. And, by the way, it is always harder to rebuild solid downline than to keep them loyal to you by dealing with them with integrity from the start.

So ... make sure that you treat your customers and your downline the way you would want them to treat you!
