Though various books are available on network marketing (I've seif-published four of them myself), Poe's is the most popular and best introduction. He explains WHY it works, WHY to do it, WHO is doing it, and HOW to do it. As past senior editor of Success magazine, Poe is not a network marketer per se, but as a professional journalist of high reputation he interviewed enough experts and top performers in the industry to understand and present, with great credibility and clarity, the industry that produces individual distributor incomes of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, even from home.

Poe's respectability and conservative image has boosted network marketing's overall image and reputation since Wave Three was published a few years ago. Poe named me in Wave Three as analyst and watchdog of the industry, but this book has made my watchdog role easier in that the book has raised awareness of proper principles and also has reduced some companies' abuses by educating the public regarding what to expect from responsible MLM companies and how to choose one of the better ones.

Wave Three may be the most popular book ever written on the subject, and is "MUST reading" even though Poe followed this with a Wave Four title. If you want to read an insightful, solidly researched, responsible, credible, informative and engaging book on network marketing, you can do no better than with these pages.

After hearing for years, that MLM or Network Marketing was a 'bad thing', I happened upon this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't stop! I stayed up all night reading the whole thing. If you buy into the MLM is a scam idea, yet you really know nothing about what the business really is, this is the book to really tell 'ya what it's all about...

It took me years to understand what it takes to be successfull in MLM and it has nothing to do with one's talents or the lack thereof.

One of the most sure ways I learned in becoming successful is identifing the right company to be a part of and one that is positioned at the beginning of a trend. Richard Poe's book, 'Wave 3 : The New Era in Network Marketing', page 69, teaches you the importance of knowing where a company is positioned within it's markets place.

Just knowing how to apply that chart to a network marketing company is priceless. Yes, I bought the book and THE most valuable information came from one page.

However, let me say this. Because I understand this information I'm able to make a more intelligent decision when analyzing and picking MLM companies. The company I picked as a result of this information alone allowed me to earn a full-time income in 7 months!

So buy the book and study page 69!

I hope this helps you!

Wave 3 was a very helpful book because it showed both sides to Network Marketing. Many people in this business are going to go through stumbling blocks, however, through endurance it is very likely, and possible that you can become very successful. Wave 3 also serves as a guide. The author gives the reader key principles that other successful Network Marketers have already learned the hard way, but, at the same time they had to implement them before they were able to become successful in Network Marketing.

Poe's two Wave 3 books are totally enlightening, entertaining and useful. He is at his best laying out the future of network marketing. Network/relationship marketing is the wave of the future, and Poe paints a clear picture. More and more, friends are going to be buying all sorts of goods and services from friends, and on the internet. And when friends buy from friends' *websites*...WOW! If you *really* want to understand what's financially possible for someone with a burning drive for lots of money via network marketing, read the Poe books. They'll keep you up nights! Anyone who still thinks of network marketing as "peddling soap door to door" or "pyramid schemes" is about 40 years behind the times and just doesn't get it.

Richard Poe tells you how it is. This book gives you great insights into the truth about how great Network Distribution can be, and also some insight into the obstacles. He shares great stories from Networking experts that have achieved success in Network Distribution. I can't tell you how much I learned reading this book and also how much it helped me in my way of thinking when I started my Network Distribution business. This book was the first one that I read from Richard Poe and I will be reading all of his books. Knowledge is king, and reading his books can give you that.

I was approached many times by many people to enter the field of network marketing and was always skepticle. I finally found a company that speaks to who I am and where the world is going. Reading this book solidified my decision and is an absolute must for anyone thinking of joining a network marketing company. It will be a must read for everyone in my downline.

This book puts together the ins and outs of network marketing. It will show you how to investigate a potential company to hook up with and all of the things that the company should provide.

It's required reading for everyone I sponsor! This winner is very informative and is on our "Millionaire University" Booklist on the Networkers Niche on the nichemarket.com site!

Having been in Network Marketing for many years, I feel this book will help me and my downline to be even more successful. It is a great way to introduce others to MLM. Then you can present your company for them to evaluate.

Here is a fabulous quote from the book, describing how a true Wave 3 MLM company operates: "No longer do distributors need to stockpile their own inventory and keep track of all the paperwork. Gone are the days when each rank-and-file networker was expected to act as leader, mentor, public speaker, and champion motivator for his own downline. They simply direct customers to a toll-free 800 number. The company fulfills the order, credits the distributor for the sale, and spits out a computerized commission check at the end of the month."

That really helps people see the oppotunity in Wave 3 MLM!
