Like so many others before him, and
unfortunately like some that may yet appear on the
Internet/Media horizon, John Polk was all about what
he could do for himself. It’s sad that our industry
attracts a certain element of charismatic, yet unscrupulous
persons that misrepresent their products and services,
while giving the good among us a very bad reputation.
Sometimes when I tell people I work
from home, and they ask me what I do, I feel like
saying anything other than Internet, Direct Marketing,
or Network Marketing. I say I have a web based business
and that I help people go online. I don’t promise
them success, but I do give them a workable system
and process to succeed. Many people don’t have
the aptitude for business, and that’s ok. There
are lots of important things to do in this world.
The reason I digress is that John
Polk had the innate talent to lure the uninformed
business owner want-to-be’s into his net. I
would never buy anything again without research into
who is offering it, how long they have been in business,
relevant experience, product guarantees, etc. I have
learned through trial and error that smart consumers
research their products. Yet most individuals, like
John Polk, can provoke you to buy on impulse. My question
is who is answering your questions prior to the sale
about whether the product is even a good fit for you.
Mr. Polk ended up on the short end
of the stick, was convicted of fraud for his claims
on television, and vanished from the scene shortly
thereafter. I can’t remember the year, but you
won’t find him out there selling today.
John Polk is not recommended.
