How iLearing Global Distributors Should Respond To The Death Of iLearning Global's Network Marketing Division
Recently iLearning Global emailed its distributors to inform them that the network marketing arm of their business was to change from the network marketing business structure to a retail business structure. Basically they dumped their network marketing distributors.
The concepts that I am about to explain can be related to the closure of any network marketing company but i will be using iLearning Global as the example.
What does this mean for the growing number of iLearning Global Distributors, the company, the people in influence and the network marketing industry?
The deathl of a network marketing company or any business is never nice. People have dedicated a big portion of their daily life to growing a business only to have it pulled from under them and worse yet they have no control of this.
The iLearning Global Distributor
Is a person who loves to learn and really invest in their self development. They wanted to share the idea of 'growing' with as many people as they could and make a business out doing so.
They probably jumped in feet first, more focused on the quality content of the product instead of the stability and structure of the company.
Marketing away using all the various marketing methods, some free, some paid, old school and new school they were doing their bit to help others and build a business with a product they liked and enjoyed using themselves. -
Most put a lot of sweat, time and mastermind effort into their business, as they should do and my hat is off to each and everyone of them.
Some of them built up massive teams with huge downlines and a lot of willing eager reps. They achieved some great results and were making some good money.
Will they feel cheated by iLearning Global? Of course.
Do they have the right to be upset, disgruntled, p*ssed off? You bet your life they do.
Will this have a negative effect on their view of network marketing? Yes it will, especially the newbies.
Will feeling all this negativity make a difference? NO
So here is what I suggest they do.
Network Marketing Works – Believe That
The information shared in the iLearning Global products IS quality information which if applied in your life WILL benefit you greatly.
By creating a downline you would of built good working relationships with the people in it and they would trust you as a leader. Continue to work on these relationships, mastermind with your teams about a way forward! Look back on this unfortunate event only to learn from it.
Use the lessons learned and invest your time in positively seeking out a new business which you can join. Don't let your efforts of gathering friends, business partners and mastermind alliances go to waste. Your list, you still own and it is very powerful!
Here are some things to considering when looking at new network marketing business – I got this information from Juanita Waterman. I think her research process and thinking is spot on. Thanks Juanita.
• Does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization?
• Have they done it with Integrity?
• Search Google for the owners of the company.
• Do the owners have Integrity? (add the word 'Scam' to your search).
• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
• Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms & Conditions”; both are part of your Legal Contract.
• Look for the word “Ongoing”.
• Look for policies that strike you as “Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without cause”.
• Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”
• Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they send you?
Rules of Thumb:
• The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you are being hidden in “Legalese”!
• If it's a “Cash Only” business…It's a Scam!
• If you can buy a position at the top…It's a Scam!
• If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the playing field isn't level for all.
• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price…Buy there instead.
• If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.

A Warning To The Wise
The industry knows that there are now thousands of network marketers without a business to promote. If you are one of these unfortunate people be very weary of people trying to rush you into another opportunity it is going to happen!
Members of the 'under-belly network marketing scam association' are going to use this opportunity to pick your pocket. Be very weary of anyone that approaches you with a 'guaranteed way to make money in 2 days' type hype thing.
Always do your due diligence on any company, its owners, its history etc.
If in doubt ask about the person or the opportunity here in BetterNetworker. Someone there will know all about it and they will keep you well informed.
iLearning Global The Company
I don't know the people in control personally, but I have heard of some of the people who were very instrumental in the creation of it such as Brian Tracey and Bill Bartman.
Brian Tracey is still a great speaker, writer and inspirational leader. As is Bill Bartmen. The fall of the network marketing arm should not lie at their door completely. They are great business men with a great record of results behind them.
iLearning Global is a business. A business decision was made for the best outcome for the business. It was a tough decision I am sure but obviously one the directors thought needed to be made.
I am sure iLearning Global will go on to be a great retail business. It has been decided that the retail route is then best route for them to take. Their products are still great quality and they will still sell. This opens the door for some affiliate GPT money.
I wish them all the best for the future.
The Network Marketing Industry
This news will bring out the best in the better networkers and the worst in the worse networkers. As there are more 'better networkers' the network marketing indusrty will continue to grow and thrive.
iLearning Global wasn't the first company to fall in therms of network marketing and they won't be the last.
Those who want to succeed in this industry will still succeed if that is truly their desire! Those who want to give up and try other industries out or go back to the 9-5 I wish you well. The network marketing door is always open.
The Next Step
Onwards and Upwards. If you was in iLearning Global as a distributor and you still want to succeed in network marketing it can still happen for you.
I am here to help you. We can work out the next steps for you to take, figure out your options and get back on the success road.

Moving Forward
You're right Dwayne, the folks who lost their ILG businesses need to remain focused on what it is going to take to move forward and still be able to reach their business goal. Their are plenty of great MLM companies out there, and this site is full of marketers from all of them, or at least a great majority. So continue to nurture the relationships you've built, adding as much value as possible, then find another opportunity to get involved in. If you've done a good job on the relationships with the people on your team, they will follow you to the next business.
Just remember that there is always a silver lining, and many of the greatest blessings come in the form of what first appear to be disasters.
