>>Miami, I own a funeral home and a cemetery that we hire sales people to sell pre-paid funerals and insurance through the funeral home and cemetery lot sales and marker sales for the cemetery!>><<Hank McNabb>> Good point, Hank. You've been in business a lot longer than Excel, and you're not quite making the money Excel is. MLM could be a great vehicle for McNabb Funeral Homes. Everybody has a phone; everybody has to die. I see BIG money in your future; take action. <<On any MLM you finally run out of people!>><<Hank McNabb>> I guess me and Big Bird are really going to have to come down there to give you some formal schoolin'. NO MLM HAS EVER RUN OUT OF PEOPLE OR EVER WILL RUN OUT OF PEOPLE. It's a big world out there; turn on CNN occasionally. Amway's been around since '59 and they're still growing. Jesus Christ started with only 12 guys, not all of them were good, and he's only got about 25% of the world's population in his organization, and that's after a couple of thousand years of spreading the word. Nope, impossible to run out of people. J. Brent Reeves

<<The big difference on a McDonalds franchise and what ECI rep pay is that on a percentage basis their have been many many more ex-ECI reps are no longer doing business as ECI reps where as only a hand full of McDonalds that have gone out of business!>> <<Hank McNabb>> Duuuuh. Gee, wonder why this is. If a guy drops a million bucks to start a McDonalds he won't close his doors when his mommy continues to frequent Burger King. Now the guy that gets into Excel for nothing, or pays that whopping $195 bucks, will likely quit when his mother won't use Excel's service and contnues to use AT&T. If Excel charged a paltry 5 grand to be a Rep (like a franchise fee) you'd see an attrition level in Excel close to zilch. With a large fee, Excel would attract only serious people. Agree or disagree? J. Brent Reeves
