Kevin and the Giant Peach

…during our conversation on the show on Saturday with one of my questions. I asked him to explain an example of how the compensation plan of the network marketing company he represents has created more millionaires than Wal-Mart. This was a dramatic illustration that Brad used to give in his training talks. However, I didn’t realize that he hadn’t used this illustration in years!

So, I’ll explain it here because I believe that it is a great example of why, if someone is serious about becoming financially independent, they should not dismiss network marketing as a viable means to those ends.

What Brad used to do was divide the room – which consisted of approximately 200 people – into two halves. One half represented Wal-Mart and the other half represented the network marketing company Brad represents. Brad would then address the first 5 people in the front row of the “Wal-Mart half” and ask them to stand up. He then pointed out that those 5 people represented the sum total of millionaires that Wal-Mart had produced. (The real life Wal-Mart millionaires are members of the Sam Walton family, by the way.)

He then would address the second half of the room and ask them all to stand up. They represented the number of people who had earned over $1,000,000 in commissions from Brad’s network marketing company compensation to that point. (I believe the number is over 200, now.)

So, the visual is this: on the Wal-Mart side of the room, there were 5 people standing at this point. On the network marketing company side of the room, there were approximately 100 people standing.

The question to the audience was this, which compensation plan gave you a better shot at becoming financially independent? The Wal-Mart plan – which, by the way, can be substituted for by any large corporation’s compensation play – or the network marketing company’s compensation plan?

The visual contrast made it clear as to the answer.
