People Do What People Do

Caution is always advisable when drawing conclusions from such a small amount of information but it got me thinking that there is more to the statement PEOPLE JOIN PEOPLE, than what initially appears on the surface.

“We will have a higher level of commitment if we know WHY we are joining a certain company. So.... as a cool exercise, I'd like you to think about the reasons you have chosen to join the company/companies you are with. What is your "WHY"? Next, think about why others should join you in this company instead of picking a different company... How are you different from others? What do you think makes you special?”

Caution is always advisable when drawing conclusions from such a small amount of information but it got me thinking that there is more to the statement PEOPLE JOIN PEOPLE, than what initially appears on the surface.

While many of them seemed very satisfied with the support they were receiving from their sponsor and upline, almost 50% of them stated that if they were to join their company today they would do so under a different person. A person they had grown to admire and respect who had caught their attention since joining their company.

So at the most meaningful level it appears people DO buy into and join PEOPLE!
