Do you consider your downline to be similar to hiring employees or as a compilation of businesses?


If you consider them to be like employees, do you push them to strive for more sales or more recruiting (if your answer is sales or both, how much does your average downline do in sales per month)?

If you consider them separate businesses of their own (thus assuming you don't depend on your downline for income), how much personal volume (sales on your own) do you do?

***please don't come in here telling me you do all sorts of personal sales without stating how much monthly PERSONAL volume you do and what percentage of it you earn as commission. I need hard numbers, even if they are estimates.

Thanks.

I received a call from a company saying they had written my bill off after being 60 days late (it turns out I had moved, notified them, but they never changed their records). I thought (by law) credit cards and other revolving credit had to wait 180 days before writing off a bill?

When replying please provide a reputable internet source that I can use to back up your answer as I am writing to the company to complain.

Thanks, and happy thanksgiving =)
