Executive Summary

The Edge

The Gifted Funnel. The book is the funnel and the field is the distribution: distributors buy “Beach Money” by the case and hand it to THEIR prospects.

The model is completely immune to algorithm changes; the trade-off is scale-speed for durability. Caution carried forward from the dossier: the 2011 SendOutCards income disclosure showed 72% of distributors earned zero commissions — his results are exceptional by definition VERIFIED — IDS archive.
