Why worry about integrity?

Why should you worry about integrity in your Network Marketing business? I think that the answer to that question speaks volumes. Many people on the forums and in blogs talk about the fact that making money from hungry buyers is all that business is about. This, in my opinion, is a very difficult position to take.

I personally have been sponsored by these kinds of people. They send out a very convincing set of emails that indicate how much they care about their downline and how much they care about your success. After accepting their offer to come on board with them, you can only talk with them IF you listen in to their conference calls or if you sponsor and inordinate number of new distributors in a very short amount of time. If you just jump in and look for help, you kind of get shuffled around until you get discouraged and quit. Of course this justifies your upline's lack of support (at least in their minds).

A person of integrity feels some responsibility to those that they bring onto their team. This responsibility often requires extra time with someone to help them over the hump and become as successful as they want to be. Integrity means to do the things you promise, to be effective in your relationship building with your downline, and to give of yourself BEFORE your downline make you lots and lots of money.

While I know that there has to be a limit to the time and energy that you can spend on someone who does not want to work. Yet, until that time comes, we need to care for those we sponsor and take upon ourselves the responsibilities that will make those we sponsor successful. If we work hard to be men and women of integrity we will take our industry back from the wolves!
