I have been in the network marketing industry for 3 years and have read a lot of books -- this by far is the best. Most new marketers first question is -- "So, what do I do now?" -- this book answers that question and many more. I personally feel this should be the network marketers Bible. Read it and read it again. The author's humorous approach and style makes it extremely easy to read and understand. BUY it, FOLLOW it and you will do well.

This is one of the best training books in the Network Marketing industry. It is done in a somewhat lame cartoon format and with lame humor. Yet the actual techniques are head and sholders above all the rest. No other book comes close to this one. This is one of the few books where they will tell you that you don't have to go to your dreaded friends and family (the list of 200 people they tell you to make) if you don't want to, and it gives you lots of techniques to build a business without them. On top of that it also teaches you how to build with a strong posture. You'll learn techniques so that you won't have to take abuse from those people who dump on the idea of MLM/Network Marketing even though they know nothing about it.

As the others have pointed out, this book is an EXCELLENT training manual and a great starter guide.

I also found that the comic book style made this book extremely accessable. People who might be intimidated by a 200-300 page book (and there are more than you'd think) will be willing to read this book because its essentially a large comic book.

But don't let the format fool you. The information density is very high and this is a book that belongs in everyone's library as a reference.

I also liked the emphasis on doing this business TOGETHER as a team. That's missing in a lot of books.

Having read almost every book spot-lighted in 'Upline' magazine, and maintained a library of "loaners" to share with new reps, The Truth is the only book I DEMAND that my newly-sponsored read...TWICE! Its easy to read,understand, and put-into-action approach to the realities of network marketing is, quite simply, The Truth of our terrific industry at its best! Armed with the attitude Kim Klaver promotes almost makes network marketing success a given. A 5-Star rating only because that's the highest possible.

If there was ever a book on network marketing that made me want to go back into it, this is THE book. I started with A----in 1977, and sure enough, was told to tell my family and friends.(The Pukeys)
Kim Klaver has changed all that with her wonderful sense of humor and all too uncommon good sense.
With Ms. Studs ROM (Reach Out Methods), I am all fired up and rarin' to go again.
I will require my first line people to read and re-read this book. It will make a good gift for anyone who is "leader"
material.

Read it. Read it now. I work in Network Marketing and this book has provided a very sharp focus for my business. Instead of the usual philosophical training that you recieve in MLM (e.g. Some will, some won't, so what, next!), this provides a very intelligent and humorous insight into exactly how to make your new business succeed.

All of the other reviews here say it as it is. It is excellent, and I highly recommend it. I wanted to add my review, because many of these reviews are from 10 years ago, but I want readers to know that the info is still very relevant.

Loved the humor, enjoyed the direct points of view, appreciated the lift it gave me to move forward. Valued the advise it gives in how to approach the cold markets. Would reccomend it to anyone in Direct selling.
Thanks

This book is a "must read" for anyone contemplating entering the multi level marketing world. Kim Klaver
is a huge success at mlm sales and knows what it takes to make real money selling a great product. If you have done mlm before and failed but still are drawn to it get this book. Kim deals with the issues of rejection of your pitch and how to move out from friends and family as your client base to a wider world. Plus she is very funny to boot! Don't be put off by the comic book-type format. This book is all gold. I also highly recommend
her book If My Product's So Great How Come I Can't Sell It? and Richard Fenton's Go For No!

Kim tells you what it really takes to make money in NWM. And she tells you what works! If you are a beginner, or if you have been around for a bit, you will enjoy reading this.
