No MLM, Network Marketing Policy

MLM, Direct Sales, Network Marketing & Sales Rep Policy

Most business networking organizations or social networking sites offer membership and access to just about anyone. BusinessIIBusiness does not. This is what sets us apart in the Social Networking industry.

BusinessIIBusiness participation is limited to "Decision Makers" only. We bar participation or membership to anyone actively promoting or representing a Business Opportunity ("biz opp"), an MLM (multi-level marketing company, also known as network marketing), Direct Sales (Home demonstrations or Home sales parties), or Account Sales Representatives/Affiliate Marketers (employees) of products or services.

We define any of the above as a business that represents, sells or recruits with the strategic goal of growing members, resellers or distributors for products or services that are not fully controlled by the "Decision Maker" and cannot make such decisions as:

• Changes in product/service lines
• 
  
• New services/product additions
• 
  
• Complete control of officers in the company
• 
  
• Any and/or all branding/visual design decisions
• 
  
• All marketing & advertising decisions
• 
  
• All hiring of employees
• 
  
• Total control of the parent company's financials
• 
  
• Sale/transfers of the company and its assets
• 
  
  Here's why: BusinessIIBusiness is a networking organization for CEO's, Presidents, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners who own their own Business entities, and our mission is to set ourselves apart and we keep it that way. Everyone who joins any of our BusinessIIBusiness Networking areas does so as the sole representative of their own specific name/product/service/business, in their own particular field, and can participate in local networking to expand the sale of their own products or services and joins BusinessIIBusiness with the expectation that we have done our due diligence in making sure we live up to our mission and promises.
  
  The success of any multi-level marketing (MLM) is founded upon developing an ever expanding network of people who join in the MLM business itself, as opposed to growing a solid business structure and promoting product or service expansions. We are not in favor of having other members suggest to other members that they change businesses or add a new business opportunity to their business dealings outside of legal Joint Ventures, mergers, Strategic Alliances etc. We do however, encourage others to purchase products and services from each other, give referrals and participate in legal joint ventures and legal partnerships, mergers and strategic alliances that form a stronger corporation.
  
  As members, we refer our friends, families and clients to specific products and services from other fellow members based on solid, long lasting business relationships. However, we are not comfortable with the possibility that our "Elite Members" would ever be put in a position of being pitched on a business opportunity such as the type provided by MLMs. We want to create an environment for decision makers to feel comfortable that they will not be pitched with business opportunities, pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing, products/services or sales rep opportunities that can be distracting from their goals as an owner and decision maker of a company.
  
  Though it is possible for a representative from an MLM to only promote their products inside a network and not recruit new members/resellers to their industry, we are not interested in trying to enforce such a policy, and therefore have made the decision to exclude MLMs, Network Marketers, Direct Sales and Sales Representatives from membership or participation in BusinessIIBusiness.
  
  We understand that networking is an important part of the business process in network marketing and MLM, and for this reason we encourage you to use other Social Networks who allow MLM to promote your Sales business and not BusinessIIBusiness.
