Several years ago, when I joined my first MLM company, I asked the 'master distributor'  in my up-line what was the best tool to use in recruiting new associates? Her answer was, "Success."

We can have fancy video and power point presentations or slick brochures but not every one will share the same vision we have about the company or product.  On the other hand, if you show some one a check stub...  every one understands that concept.  How true.  My wife was not happy when we got our credit card bill one month and she saw I joined that MLM company for a few hundred dollars.  She didn't have the same vision I had at that time; fair enough.  Three weeks later when I recieved a check for one hundred dollars she was pleasantly suprised.  Sometimes we just need a little tangible evidence to prove a point.
