My Purpose in building an "army" with a known population: I've recently been introduced to a new MLM/Network Marketing program. I used to "believe" in these things but nowadays write them off generally as hype undeliverable. In this particular situation, it's an MLM for electricity in Texas. When brought to my attention, I examined the compensation plan (I'll always investigate to see if it is a good deal) and found it wanting. I presented to him my arguments that with a target market population of only 2,000,000 (or so), the compensation plan doesn't allow for many "generals," or "top tier" personnel. What I want is a program where I can enter the compensation plan (how many customers you have to have before you can be promoted to Manager, how many managers under you until you are promoted to King, and how many Kings under you 'til you're promoted to God, etc...) and show exactly how many top-dogs there can be and how many pions will lose their shirts. So, in this scenario (to address some of Rett's thoughts), it is reasonable to start out with the Soldiers and promote a Leader, promote enough Leaders to then promote a Captain, etc... I consider MLMs to be unethical because they promise things that cannot reasonably or mathematically be delivered and leave out important information that creates a lot of suckers at the bottom of the network. Market saturation is the key word here. This program will help me demonstrate my belief effectively. Now, I'm not saying that an MLM can't be ethical... It will simply require a new way of doing things...
