Ride the Wave into the 21st Century!
In the ground-breaking Wave 3 , Richard Poe revealed how the new world of computers has liberated network marketing from its humble beginnings to offer an unprecedented professional opportunity for financial freedom. Now, in Wave 4, Poe shows how the marriage between the Internet and people-to-people sales will accelerate the growth of network marketing.
Poe predicts that this new technology-driven wave will sweep up in its wake millions of people who have never before considered network marketing. In addition, he explains how the Internet, coupled with the touch of good old-fashioned personal attention, will revolutionize direct selling, as the demand for new products and services explodes beyond borders.
We live in exciting times. Millions of people around the world are dreaming of starting up their own businesses. Wave 4 shows them how network marketing can help them achieve exciting financial goals in the 21st century!
"A splendid read, not only for network marketers, but for anyone wishing to thrive in the home-based economy of the 21st century. Richard Poe cuts through the hype, with insight and objectivity, presenting an unusually clear-headed view of this exciting new business frontier."— Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

I read wave 3 so was used to the style of Poe. appreciated his unbiased review of the industry he himself has never done. really wish he had a newer book as this book is quickly getting outdated (published in 1999). Poe includes anecdotes but presents them so they are not selling something, just showing how the industry works in individuals. It is in fact one of the best written books on network marketing because of this objectivity but beyond that, Poe was a writer so he knows how to write (not a networker who went to writing)

MLMs are for grifters. Their pyramid structure means a few very early people get wealthy by scamming the entire down line. They’ll sell you a dream and tell you it’s your fault you have an empty bank account and a room full of crap no one wants.

Great inside on the industry, where it started, how it's transforming, and where it's going. If you're in the industry it's a great read!
