1) Is a null point. You think they hold back product visibility to aid their reps? Business is all about money.
Business is not "all about money", business is about providing a valueable product or service that meets a need and solves a problem, and in doing so produces a profit in the process. That said, ...yes, people do hold back product visibility to aid their reps, ...and in network mktg, quite often that is what you do. Too much visibility can be harmful and counter productive, both to the company, as well as the reps, ...and here is why:
Network mktg is a whole different animal from traditional retail sales. It requires personal contact.
The types of products that do well in network mktg are those that require personal contact. If none was required, the product could simply be shoved on store shelves and there would be no need for distributors. That has been the downfall of many a network mktg company, because their product was not exclusive, it didn't require any explainations, and it was available at every single corner store, and did not require the consumer to go to the individual reps to get it. When something is mass produced and put in retail stores, there goes the opportunity for individual reps. Why would someone make the extra effort to buy something from you... if they can grab it at their local grocery store when they were shopping for groceries? They won't.
But by having a unique product, consumers must come to you to get it. By having one that requires personal contact, people are able to share information person to person about how to properly use that product. What to do to get the best results from that product, what they can expect to see with the use of that product, ...and to head off potential problems or challenges with the use of that product.
We encountered this issue with overexposure right from the start. We had people who saw really good results, ...then all of a sudden their results started dropping off. By having contact with the individual, who sold them the product, they were able to make adjustments that saw their results return, and even increase that much more. By having contact, you are able to diagnose problems in their usage of the product. I have it in my own group as well. When someone comes to me and says 'the product doesn't work anymore, I got increased mileage to begin with, now my mileage has gone down', ...I'm able to immediately know they are using too much. I'll ask how much are you putting in, ...and they respond "I'm using a full pill with each fillup, ...X told me to use that amount". Well X has a 90 litre gas tank, while this person only has a 40 litre tank. I will tell them, you're using too much, I will send them the usage chart and explain to them they are only to use an amount sufficient to achieve a certain saturation point in the fuel. Which means if they have a 30 gallon tank, ...but are only topping off with 10 gallons of gas, ...they should dose it according to the 10 gallons they're putting in, rather than for the full capacity of their tank because they already have 20 gallons of fuel in there that already has the product in it. Sure enough they come back every time and say 'You were right'. I did what you suggested, and the mileage went way up.
One thing I suggest to people is to only put in the exact same amount of fuel each time, regrdless of the size of their tank. This way, they can use a set dosage of 1/2 pill, or 1 pill each time accordingly. Many people who start off using the product will start off using the correct dosages, but as they pop out the pills from the blister packs, they also pop out the instructions and the pill to fuel ratio chart as well. By putting in the exact amount of fuel each time, they can use the exact dosage each time without having to review a chart that may or may not be there.
That's why network mktg companies frequently prohibit sales of their products on eBay, flea markets, swap meets, or through traditional retail outlets, because there is no such contact or continued contact with consumers. The usual exceptions though are those businesses in the service sectors like salons, service stations etc, where there is an ongoing and continued relationship with the clients who come in, or in small mom & pop locations where there is personal contact, ...and the business owners must be reps. In the beginning we had people who literally lined up at gas stations and sold hundreds of dollars in mpg-caplets to motorists driving up to the pump, ...then had no further contact with them. Without proper information about how to get the most out of the product, ...many of those consumers drove off, got good initial results, ...but then saw those results drop off. What good is that? They made an initial sale, but now they have to go out and do it again. it's far better to make the initial sale, ...and continue to get paid over & over again, as people continue to re-purchase the product over & over again. People aren't going to keep re-purchasing a product unless they are getting results with it.
Even in my own group, I have a guy in Israel who insisted the products didn't work. He got initially good results, but then his mileage went down, so he stopped using them. He kept insisting he should know because he was a mechanic. I asked him how much product he was using and how big was his fuel tank. He kept insisting he was using the right amount. I kept asking the same question until he finally gave me the size of his fuel tank, and the exact number of pills he was putting in with each fillup. He was using 2 of our 1 gram pills per tankful. 2 grams per tankful!
That would be fine if he had a 200 litre fuel tank, ...problem is he only has a 40 litre tank.
. Instead of using two 1 gram pills, he should have been using only half of our 1/2 gram pills. When I explained he was overdosing by 8 x's the amount he should have been using, and should only have been using 1/8th the amount he was putting in, he freaked. He didn't know, ...and why didn't he know... because he didn't bother to read the emails sent from the company or from me. He couldn't be bothered to read english, (even tho he speaks it) and figured when it was translated to Hebrew or Dutch, then he'd read them. Big mistake. Good thing overdosing will not harm the engine, it will simply not give you the results you are looking for in that instead of a catalytic coating, too thick a coating could develop that would instead absorb the fuel, rather than cause it to burn more efficiently.
It is virtually impossible for the FFi-MPG-Cap to not work. if someone is not getting results, that is a tell-tale sign that the person is using the product incorrectly, or there is an issue with their vehicle that is preventing the product from working. Quite frequently it is simply a non-syphon screen preventing the caplets from getting into the fuel to begin with, but if the product is used correctly, and is dissolved in the fuel, the product works 100% of the time, everytime.

The 2nd thing to remember in all of this, is that gas pills, like bodybuilders, ...are not all created equal.
There are many companies out there trying to market gas pills, however FFi is the only company that can PROVE their product works. FFi is the only company that has completed independent EPA dynamometer testing. FFi is the only company that has done $200 million in sales from a standing start, ...FFi is the only company that has withstood independent 3
rd party testing by laboratories and gov't's around the world, ...FFi is the only company that has the top combustion experts on the planet raving about it's efficacy, ...and FFi is the only company doing business in 192 countries around the world.
In Texas, ...they call that a clue!
