After reading the previous posts, both pro and con, about FHTM, I felt led to throw my opinion into the ring as well. A lot of what I read is either all good or it's all bad. IMO, the reality is neither. As with any business or job that a person may have in their lifetime, there's going to be things you will consider to be both.
I am an IR for FHTM and do not regret the choice I made. This is my third network marketing company and it is by far the fairest of the choicest I made. Furthermore, there are claims and statements that have been made by IR's in my upline that I later learned were untrue. If that was by design or simply an error through ignorance on their parts, I can't say.
What I can say is that the answers are there if a person chooses to want to look for them within FHTM's structure. There customer service department is great and will go to great lengths in order to be able to accurately answer any questions put before them.
My suggestion is that anyone that enrolls in a network marketing company consider such things as their pay plan. How many and how divergent are they? Are the standards they have set in order to reach goal within their company reasonable? Am I always and forever going to be bound to my upline without any hope of surpassing them? My assumption is that anyone that partners with a NM company is ultimately looking for a way to make the most money possible otherwise why do it? With that in mind, I am certainly going to look for the company that will enable me to make the most money possible.
In saying that, the vehicle I choose will only be as successful as I choose to make it. Facts are facts. FHTM has a first class business plan that has been successfully launched into the business world. It is orchestrated by one of the legends of NM, Paul Orberson. There is a lot to learn if a person is teachable and open-minded.
Yes, no doubt there are other companies out there that might have a good product. What are you going to get in return for your time, energy and efforts? IMO, I've yet to find one that beats what FHTM is offering. If there are things I don't know, I look at myself to answer why I don't have that knowledge. If I were starting a small business, it would certainly be my responsibility to research and to learn all that I can. Ditto for being an FHTM rep.
