Introducing Mr. Fugi Saito and His MLM Files

Some time ago, I had an exchange with a very interesting gentleman named Mr. Fugi Saito.  The following is an introduction to a two part series based on the files and research he compiled about the Network Marketing industry:

From The Government of Canada:

TopSecretFile.jpgFor over 25 years, Fugi Saito has been involved in management and sales. Prior to 1989, Fugi was a Senior Business Analyst with Dun and Bradstreet Canada - Business Data Division. Since 1989 he has been the President of Saito-San Inc., a consulting firm that supplies management and administrative support services to the small to medium business market. He speaks internationally to audiences about business issues including marketing, security, technology and fraud. 

Mr. Saito was kind enough to give me permission to publish portions of his files for the benefit of MLM Blog readers.

Here is what Dean Van Druff, author of What's Wrong With Multi-Level Marketing says about Mr. Fugi Saito:

Where Fugi and I wholeheartedly agree is when it comes to dispelling the "Big Myth," as he terms it.

If people take Fugi's advice and really market as individuals selling product and not in marketing the "Big Myth" of a "money making opportunity," then I will admit that the pyramid "Wrong With" rather proportionately fades from view.

I just have to wonder, though, if once the "Big Myth" is popped, what will really be left? Might an MLM minus the "Big Myth" be something else entirely?"

You will see in the coming posts how my thoughts and opinions on Network Marketing have been influenced by Mr. Saito. I want to thank him for allowing me to post his research and conclusions. (Stay tuned, coming soon.)
