I once had a novice network marketer wanting ME to signup into his downline. I said to him, “how much do you know about marketing to teach me to be successful?” http://www.inboundmlmsuccess.com/

He said, “I don’t, but I have this great business opportunity that you should look at, and YOU know how to do internet marketing.”

He went further to say, “If we collaborate, you can teach me everything you know about marketing on the web.” http://www.inboundmlmsuccess.com

I said, “But that makes no sense to me.”

“What doesn’t make sense? It makes perfect sense if we collaborate,” he said.
