Apply Etiquette When You Present Your Business Opportunity

Some associates are sending me private messages that resemble sales pitches. Now I want to make clear that there are distributors who never present their opportunities as advertisements. The first business opportunity that I joined, I actually recruited myself. I decided to join the opportunity and selected the associate that I wanted to do business with. The moral of the story is that I read and heard many sales clichés. Has anyone sent you a PM or e-mail that is blatantly promoting their business or products? Please describe parts of the e-mail or PM that you thought were excessively promotional.

P.S. Although there are many products that do not serve a need for me, I will be more than willing to refer these products based on how easy it is to identify their target market. Fortunately, my pondering how associates present their products/opportunities has made me re-think how I discuss products.
