"There are going to be millionaires made. I plan to be one of them and I hope you do too". (quote from me)

Is much different from saying "I'm making millions and you can too" (I didn't say that, is a false statement and purely used as a comparative example).

I have corporate approval for using video email in a Mia Bella artistic template in replying to candle specific leads who have requested information.

Tried to share a useful tool here which only resulted in negative complaints to corporate and false accusations. You don't have to join me to use this tool. That would be cross recruiting and is not my intention. Go upline in your own team far enough and you will likely find a suitable sponsor to share this tool with you...or just find someone not in MB.

That said, video email will soon be a tool like if you don't have it, you'll be considered in the dark ages. My interest is in building my Mia Bella business and helping the company. Am actively pursuing a mutual effort between our company and the video email provider to provide a
"standard" single approved template for use by all Mia Bella distributors who elect to use this tool. Same for all...just like the Mia Bella Banner in the back office is used for advertising on websites offering anything other than Mia Bella...

See you at the fling but don't ask me about video email! smileys/smiley4.gif

Hi Charlie, well you already know I plan on becoming a Mia Bella, hopefully sooner then later.
Intent to find out in the near future where and how this is to come about.

In the meantime your post has put this in to my brain smileys/smiley25.gif

I know what you are saying, just a whole lot of other things I don't understand.

Me, I am grateful for your honesty......always smileys/smiley31.gif

Hi Cheryl,

You must be meaning the Mia Bella presentation on my scent-team website? You can activate yours in your back office profile which adds $4.95 per month to your COTM fees. It is an awesome marketing tool! Make sure when referring people to your website that you tell them to click on the "Presentation" tab and watch your company video!

I apologize for the confusion Susanna. Some here did not like my Talk Fusion video email which was posted in my signature link a few days ago. It was my mistake to make clear the intention and it seemed as though I was promoting the two together and trying to recruit Mia Bella's into a different program and making wild income claims.

My own Mia Bella team members will say I showed it to them but have not tried any recruiting tactics to get them to take it on. I have a large group already in that and none of them are Bella's to my knowledge.

Yes, I have been told to not mention Talk Fusion at the fling. Didn't plan on it.

It's only a tool but one that carries an option for commission based earnings so therefore it's a touchy subject...but so is AWEBER and we don't seem to have a problem promoting it's use and signing up with our sponsor's affiliate number! Oh well...

People letting my actions bother them and hindering their focus have to work that out with themselves. Very little if anything was accomplished by any of the telling on me for being badsmileys/smiley36.gif I am working with corporate on this to assure all is done right and am working in the best interest of all Mia Bella distributors to help facilitate the use of a great marketing tool for those who wish to use it...and regardless of team placement, just as I have helped Mia Bella distributors not anywhere close to my team or able to benefit me personally in any way, I will help those who wish to learn and use the video email system.

It will be great to have you as my guest at the Fling and hope we can squeeze some information out of Charlie as to when Nova Scotia will be open for you to take the whole province smileys/smiley4.gif

Let me try and bring this into perspective. There is no doubt, I was in fact wrong in making a video email and mentioning another opportunity in the same body of verbage with Mia Bella. I should have not even hinted in any way, any sort of earning potential...Millionaire, etc...in the video. I should not have posted the link to the video in the forum, even if it was in a sig file or promoted it in the business section advertisements of wahm being as it was.

A video email promoting Mia Bella products is only approved by Charlie Umphred for use in sending to prospects who are candle specific and have requested information....and cannot include any mention of any other business opportunity in the body of the video or in the introductory email. The original video was in fact not approved and has been erased from my video files and hopefully everywhere else.

My video body, while I did mention both opportunities was not on my part a concious effort to attempt to sway Mia Bella distributors to join the other. I thought of it more like "show my buddies what I made" sort of thing. In it I said..."I am going to be using this to promote my candle business and TF". No-no! Especially after naming our company and showing a candle.

So yes I messed up. Prior to that person(s) report of me, I had already been informed of the possibility that I was in error, removed the link to the video and had already started the process of doing things through proper channels. It's just all an unfortunate thing and I apologize for any stress or bad vibes this might have caused anyone in Mia Bella.

One of our competitors I will not name publicly has a beautiful TF template to be used by their distributors for sending video emails. This is my whole reason for wanting to get us a great one! To be in and succeed in business and not be concerned about the what the competition is doing with new technology IMO is a grave mistake. Charlie has seen the template in question and has the contact information with the TF support team. What he does with it now is up to him. I have done all I can do.

All my old AF leads which never responded to a call, message or packet are going to be receiving a video email from me in my current Mia Bella template. I will let you know how it goes. You can receive my video email by sending me an email and requesting to see it.

Hi Charlie!

I think we all make little mistakes here and there, unintentionally. No one is perfect! Just wanted to chime in and tell ya that I think you're great!

You're so much fun to have in the forum, I'm glad you're with us.

For the rest of us, it is important to remember that we all make mistakes, and to be kind to one another. Whatever you do will come back to you ten-fold, so it "pays" to be nice! LOL!

Have a great evening everyone,

Charlie,
Mistake or no mistake, I shake my head at people that seem to have nothing better to do than look for any "crumb" they can find to try to take another person down or cause them harm.

I applaud you for your honesty and feel that you are an upstanding guy even in the short time I've seen you around here. If anyone looks to point fingers at you they better know what they are talking about. Sure, you made a mistake, but a mistake you caught before this "fiend" could rat and yes, I use the term rat because it appears that what they are.... but before they ratted you out. I don't like people that play games.

With that said, I wish you all the best - always!

It seems there are alot of rats here lately. I have nicknamed them the "MB Police". I have little time to conduct my business, work and run a household and definitely cannot find time to look and nickpick at everyone's website, intentions or what not. We are all trying to run a successful business and I appreciate any help, advice, or new technology I can get or receive. Think about this before you run to corporate: Is this person really and truly going to hurt your business? Are they absolutely without any question, violating MB policies? Will we as a whole benefit from you informing coporate of the "alleged" transgression? Just my 2 cents http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif.

Charlie and Susanna,
I look forward to meeting the both of you at the Fling! And I am looking forward to hearing you do your presentation Charlie! Will you be wearing your yellow shirt?http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I hope that they decide to implement your idea as it seems like a good way to get your message out there. We need more people like you who think outside of the box!
