To share the work, you search on google if you don’t know it
yet. It might be new in your place, or you might have ever been invited to join
by a sibling of you. I am referring to ‘sibling’ because one of the business’s potent
strategies is to influence people from family first; if the inviter can’t start
it in his own family, he will first from close friends. It does not care if you
are interested in the products it offers you. If you know a friend
participating the business, you are a target! Sooner or later you will get a
call to participate in a workshop.
A pure business will let the market decides. I do totally respect
friends who do the business; however, I have been so allergic to such a kind of
business since the similar ones came into market, MLM, and Tien Sing. What
animal is it? Again, we share the work. These sorts of businesses do not see us
as free traders. I mean it does not let us to decide freely what we want to trade
between two or more parties. It is, instead, like a sort of begging to find new
members. They keep calling you, trying to convince that it is a good business. If
you are close friends, it is very hard to refuse calls; and that makes you
susceptible to join.
It was striking, at this time, to hear that Talk Fusion offers
information technology business to illiterate users.” One question I was
noting was what IT business it refers to? When I once attended its workshop,
it presented products it offers such as applications of social media, videos, and
emails to members to buy, and use. They argued that now we live in the 21st
century, digital world; yes it is true. However, the peculiar thing was that
members were extremely illiterate of technology information. They looked like
they do not even know how to sign up an email account.
So, is that a real IT business or a mere of MLM’s sort which
just uses products as a steppingstone to convince members that they trade real
products? The business actually aims to do MLM’s sort of business. Top level
members try to convince new members or beginners. Those new members joining add
points to higher level members’, thus their bonuses inflate. On the other hand,
the new members will, mostly, become losers at the end. I am mostly concerned
to rural people who would potentially be scammed by this type of business. It
is like selling an IPhone to a person who does not even have an internet
connection in his village. Most members I saw in the workshop were people who
do not know much about internet. Not to mention, the communication infrastructure
in the country is still running even like a turtle.
Of course, there is a market for Talk Fusion. Government
agencies, companies from service to oil and gas industries currently minding
their businesses in East Timor are the potential users. They can use the products
as it aims for, not people who do not even use internet as we do.
**I hope this gives you an inspiration.
