The Buzz
There's quite a buzz going around because I sat
down with Larry King at a network marketing company's
convention and explained to him how and why MLM is NOT a
pyramid or a Ponzi scheme...and he understood it.
In case you don't know, Larry King has interviewed over
40,000 celebrities. From every President of the United
States since the Ford Administration to Vladimir Putin
(second President to Russia) to Tony Blair (former Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom).
To say that it was an honor to sit and be interviewed by
Larry King would be the understatement of my life!
I'm informing you of this because I want you to know the facts surrounding this event because the rumor mill has been busy!
I sat down with Larry in his home a couple of months ago and
had a discussion about Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM). It only
lasted 40 minutes but in that 40 minutes he became
intrigued.
I believe that part of his trust in me was my honesty that
there are things about MLM that need correction. Meaning,
some of the concerns he brought up I agreed with and told
him that I was working on correcting those things but those
things do not make it a pyramid scheme, Ponzi scheme or a
scam.
He liked my purpose in getting factual truth known by
people and the media. This is what Larry King does better
than anyone else in the world.
Timing was in my favor
Larry had recently been scammed for millions by Bernard
Madoff's investment Ponzi scheme. He was appreciative of
my candid conversation and because I could clearly
differentiate between a Ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme and a
legitimate MLM business. Up until that time, it was not
clear to him.
We ended our morning meeting with an agreement that we'd
talk more. That came when he invited me to dinner that
night. During dinner I asked him what he loves to do and
he replied "comedy." Long conversation reduced, I asked
him if we could continue our discussion about MLM in front
of 10,000 MLM people in exchange for him doing a little
comedy for them afterwards.
He said yes.
It just so happened that I had already been invited by a
network marketing company (not the MLM company I built my
downline in) to speak at their convention. Timing was
in their favor too! It has been truly a win-win for
everyone - including you.
Larry and I are planning future projects together - I
promise to keep you posted :)
With admiration,
Tim Sales
PS: There's a gentleman named Paul who opened Larry's door
for me. We all owe him a high level of gratitude. So,
Paul, thank you sir!
This is just the beginning of what my true purpose has been
since I retired from building my organization in 1995. My purpose is to be the MLM
industry's public relations ambassador, promoting the industry's values to the
public. But, as I've stated before, I felt the industry needed a few corrections
so that it's squeaky clean for the public. :)
Working with Larry King has and will open many other doors and other
possibilities for our industry. If you know people in the media or high
government positions that you think would be interested in me doing
with them what I've done with Larry (on any level), please click here to send me an email
and let me know.
