I'm Rob. Blame everything on me!
Back in April, 2005, I joined Jerky DirectTM, and named my Storefront 'success'! After almost 18 months of enjoying the many flavors of jerky, I finally got serious about building my business. (Please don't wait that long!) I had a very quiet upline who enjoyed their jerky, but who weren't willing to go any further than that.

I had been promoting, but sporadically and not very effectively. By the fall of 2006, I had only 4 people in my downline.
In December 2006, with considerable help from, and brainstorming with, two new members, we formed the concept of a real Team, doing real Teamwork to help us Succeed. The SuccessJerky Team was born!
As the one at the top of the Team, I encourage all the members of my downline to find a way they are comfortable with promoting the products and the opportunity OFFLINE at first. We want to see every member bring two other people into their Jerky DirectTM business. In essence, this proves they are serious and deserve the Team's help!
In the meantime, I will be heavily promoting all members' businesses both offline and online. Once a member has enrolled his/her first two people, he/she should continue with their offline efforts but may, if they want, move some efforts to working online as well. Should they decide to build their business online, I will provide them with the necessary information, materials, and tools to use.
Any member can offer their own (offline and online) ideas for the Team to develop and use and we can work together to make each item better.
Members are free to use whatever materials/tools they want to use and can concentrate on whatever area of promotion they are comfortable with.
Many of the members use Business cards, flyers, postcards and other printed materials in their offline efforts. Some sell retail through their own outlets or on consignment at other businesses. Others find flea markets or fundraising to their liking.
Most of the members working online use Traffic Exchanges, while some are using Safelists, Classified Ads, Offline Ads, and Banner Exchanges, among many possibilities.
Members can also participate in low-cost newspaper ad co-ops that I manage.
We (I and several other Leaders) started off thinking WE could promote for everybody and, in essence, build the 'perfect 6x7 matrix' you can see on other pages. But that never works and we soon realized it!
We found that those who never do anything never get anything done!
We can and do promote for all others in our downlines, but we need to see activity and that folks are trying before we make that commitment. In addition to developing offline networks and bringing in two other people, we want to see a person participate in the Team Forum, respond to our emails, call us on the phone or Skype. Then we will help them out!
If you are thinking that you can join our Team and have us do all the work to make you succeed, you are sadly mistaken!
There are some tire-kickers, or 'Jerky Lickers' as I call them, responding to our efforts and coming into the Team and we don't mind. We want, however, to help you all see the benefits of being a 'Jerky Chugger' (you need to join us and see the Forum to read what this all means, but you probably get the idea!) and really getting serious about this as a Business!
I recommend you read through this entire site and get to know us!
