RICHARD POE

Richard Poe predicts that network marketing is the wave of the future?????
After a couple of ineterviews, I see that network marketing has a very bad name. A lot of people have been burned with this method and most of the people don't even want to talk anymore about this industry.
In my humble opinion, I believe this book in many ways is obsolete. I highly respect Poe for his previous books like the Einstein Factor which is really impressing.
In conclusion, this book can be very misleading and create false expectations for becoming wealthy or having a decent residual income. Poe puts examples of industries that people simply don't want to hear anymore about them.
Sincerely,
Roberto Zuniga
2 Less than impressed
I bought this book based on all the 5-star ratings and am very disappointed. Basically, this book is one "how I got rich" anecdote after another - very irritating if you are looking for specific information rather than a series of long, rambling stories. This book did not answer most of the questions I had about Network Marketing and gave me very little useful information. I regret wasting my money on this book. I just bought Paley's "Networking your way to Millions" and found it to be far more useful as well as being written in a far less irritating style.
3 The wave to Financial Freedom!
Millions of people in America and around the world have a dream of starting their own business but seem to lack the knowledge or the capital or both. Network marketing offers the opportunity to thrive in the home based business economy of the 21st century.
In WAVE 4 you will learn:
>What Network Marketing Is
>Why it is Hotter than Ever
>How You Can Ride the Wave to Financial Freedom
Like Michael Dell discovered in the computer business, the key to success is direct, direct, direct. Thanks to the internet, it is now easier than ever to succeed in network marketing. Easier, faster, and better.
Unless you are online and networking, you may find yourself in an unemployment line and not working. Network Marketing is truly the wave of the future and WAVE 4 explains it better than any other book I have ever read.
WAVE 4 is split into 12 parts, 40 chapters and 300 pages. My favorite chapter is called "The Tidal Wave" Richard Poe is an outstanding writer and without a doubt, the best voice network marketing has ever had or has. I highly recommend WAVE 4 to anyone who wants to achieve exciting financial goals in the 21st century!
4 Excellent book, I hope Mr. Poe is now working on Wave 5...
This might truly be the "Wave 5..." business.
It which marries a foreign exchange trading (a very hot industry in its own right) program with Network Marketing.
This truly looks like a "Fifth Wave..." type of business.

5 Another outstanding example of Poe's work
I've enjoyed reading most of Richard Poe's books on Network marketing and appreciate his down to earth style & approach. After looking at several companies using Poe's criteria, I've locked in on the one I feel will be the biggest over the next five years. (...)
6 Richard Poe -The Man, The Ever- Entrepreneur
Wow! Richard really knows his stuff. At Last someone who wants to tell us the truth! Always predicting what we haven't even seen yet. This book is a revelation to the beginner and professional network marketer, and anyone who's dabbling in MLM, or at all curious. He disects MLM, and shows us step-by-step every part of Network Marketing, the immense power of Leverage, where it will take us, Teaches us how to understand the compensation plan, trends, etc. I will always respect and admire Richard Poe, and forever read his books. A wise investment indeed. Richard's Wave 4 comes highly recommended. He helped me develop a deeper knowledge in my Internet Marketing business...
7 Just starting in MLM-read this book..
Not only did I find this book very helpful in my business, I have been applying it to my daily life as well. After reading several books on self-help and MLM's, I have FINALLY found one that gives very precise steps to success in both. I found the book so easy to read and straightforward that I kept trying to make it complicated. Even though most of the examples relate to product driven MLM's (mine is not), I am going to buy all the "Leaders" in my downline a copy and encourage them to read it and follow the recommendations Mr. Poe sets down and PERSEVERE! Fantastic!
8 A superb Book. A must read
While this book may not be a how to book, it definitely gets into the why of network or mlm marketing. Wave 4 is a easy read and should be a part of any new distributors training kit.For more on the how to I suggest The Wave 4 way to building your downline and Mark Yarnell's, Your first year in Network Marketing. I have everyone in my downline reading and applying the information in these books. Wave 4 should also be recommended to skeptical potential prospects. If it doesn't excite them about the possibilites of mlm, then their wood is all wet. winningimage2@webtv.net
9 Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!
I must say this is the best book I have ever read in my 10+ years in MLM. Richard Poe describes (in detail!) the coming trends that really will help millions become involved in network marketing. These are not trends he hopes will come, but you will realize it is coming like a steamroller. Network marketing is now inevitable and millions worldwide will take advantage of it!
But, it took about 2 months to digest the full impact of Richard's new book for me. I learned what "affiliate" marketing is and have now become an affiliate for many companies.... I now can "refer" others to buy Wave 4 (and other books) via my web site and I get a 15% commission.... Cool! In visiting Richard's Wave 4 web site , you'll see he is doing the same thing.
He (and I) don't have to handle the inventory, manage the sale, ship the books, or anything else. Yet as a reward for "referring" others, we get a 15% commission.... Isn't that what networking is all about, referring others to products and services and getting paid to do that?!
So opening my eyes to this form of network marketing has been very revealing. I now share with others the many types of networking (affiliate, mlm) available to anyone who has access to the Internet.
I have also realized what a "Wave 4" network marketing company is and I am glad that my choice in mlm is now a Wave 4 company. Passive income, here I come!
10 the Bible for the industry
Richard Poe has done it again! I ordered this book here on Amazon.com, and when it arrived, I was hooked. His writing style is so easy to follow, and his insight, as in his other "wave" series books, is uncanny. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone even comsidering the MLM industry. It is hard to put down until the last page has been read, then the feeling of wishing there was more to read. He is a genious. Buy this book!
11 Network marketing is the future!
This is a must read for everyone, either in or not yet in MLM. I have recommended it to everyone in my downline. Network marketing is THE way for the average person to tap into the wealth stream now and even more-so in the future. Experience the power of Online Network Marketing!
12 Most People Do It, But JUST DON'T GET PAID FOR IT!
Hello!
Wow! What a useful and insightful book! If you are looking at getting involved in or are already a part of Network Marketing, this book should be a part of your library. Find out what works, what doesn't and read about case studies not theories! I particularly enjoyed the insights on the merger between two Newtwork Marketing companies (Pre-Paid Legal adn The Peoples Network) and how it affected Michael Clouse's and Art Jonak's organizations. Killer stuff.
Give a copy to prospective distributors. Show them how they are already doing network marketing everyday, but simply not getting paid for it. This book will help them decide to pick up that extra check every month!
13 A Tidal Wave of a Book!
An awesome read! I enjoyed it so much I'm reading it again. It provides all the insights of network marketing. This book is for those special few with energy, persistence, and a "never give up" attitude to build an organization that will grow year after year. A new paradigm has hit the beach...jump on the wave to financial freedom. Succeed by helping others succeed!
14 A mind-blowing read and an essential tool for getting ahead
This will be a textbook for thousands and a bible for more. Newcomers read to Chapter 18 then Part Eleven onwards. When you see why social and corporate America is adopting this industry like no tomorrow, you will read the middle chapters. Life is not all doom and gloom, there is incredible opportunity here. If technology bothers you, others exist to show you the way.
In short: if your business does not have a personalised customer base you fight against the odds; if, as an individual, you are not in a financial linkage then you passup what looks like the only route to a secure future income (and retirement); if, as a consumer, you are not using the system then you could pay dearly.
Compelling reading: name me a textbook that you found impossible to put down? Now you know about MLM, stand tall and speak up.
15 Forecast of the future of Network Marketing
Poe does a good job of outlining mlm's growth and the direction the industry is heading. However, he does not outline the way to success in mlm. Randy Gage wrote a book called How to Build a Multi-Level Money Machine that I found extremely helpful because it cuts through the hype and mystery of true success in mlm. Gage gives a system for achieving a growing network and a system that is duplicatable.
16 Network Marketing is the Economic Model for the Future!
I found this book to be clearly written, concise, timely and generally very helpful for those new to network marketing or even the lifetime veterans. Poe's book explains what to look for in a company and what features may be best suited to your particular talents and financial goals. It is also a very good authority on how much money you can expect to make, with a sincere effort, if you are lucky enough to find something that is a true groundfloor opportunity. I especially liked reading the stories of winners, ordinary people, with little or no technical knowledge or expertise, average abilities, who persevered, learned the secrets of success, learning from their mistakes, until they finally achieved truly amazing incomes that put them in the top 1% of all wage earners in this country. It's a great inspiration to anyone held slave to the corporate ideals of success with all the baggage that this lifestyle entails. Thanks to the Internet, today, anyone can work from their home, watch their children grow up. Go skiing whenever it suits them, and still have huge checks come to you in the mail. No commuting, no suit and tie, no waiting for the gold watch retirement. For more information on this industry, how to get started, what to look for, how to use the power of the Internet to build a large organization quickly, etc, consult my own website. 1stfamily
17 Hats-off to Richard Poe
Though I have never been interested with MLM or Network Marketing before, I am grateful to authors like Richard Poe who wrote from a very objective point of view. I suspect many so-called great authors are nowhere close to this man. Some books blatantly promote all MLM business as good and worth a try but my hunch indicates otherwise. Thanks Richard for this great book. After reading his book, I will take a new look at MLM and related businesses once again. I strongly urge you to read this book and judge for yourself. Looking forward to Wave 5 and Wave 6 if e-networking is not the final frontier.
18 College Network Marketing
Although the book is basic, some of the stories can teach anyone something about MLM.
19 21st century model
This book gives you the keys how to succeed in the age of information. Anything is up to change and fear spraeds. This books describes in an easy way how to be on the winning side of change. Prestigious lifestyle can be accessed as well by blue as by white collar workers. Many business owners jump on this train right now. Poe's first book helped me to understand this business and to find the right company; therefor I suggest you to read this book too. If you would like information about the company I work, please do not hesitate to mail.
20 Gotta read it
wow, this is the best MLM book ever, it cannot be compared with any other books in the market, and amazon sells it the cheapest, If anyone is interested in MLM, and also interested in working at home, and want residual income for a life time, read this book, and write to me to join the best MLM company in the world, just write to me,
21 The most inspiring book, Turns everything around in MLM
This book is one of best fact book i've ever read, after reading wave 3, wave 4 really hit the Heart in MLM, the stories and coming substantial changes in the business organization proves a best time to enter the new age of network marketing, after reading this book, it will motivated everyone in your downline.
22 Gives an objective recommendation for the MLM industry
I am going to buy this book for my downline leaders -- what a great tool for us to use when recruiting new leaders. The author is not in MLM, so offers an objective view of the industry and reaffirms our belief that MLM is truly the "wave" of the future.
