I'd guess than an average week's mailbag contains 4,000 spam emails, 75 Nigerian
business proposals, fifty positive fan mails and
one angry tirade.
The flotsam must have aligned on Tuesday, because I got four sour letters in one day. Enjoy. |

Then, another long one a little after noon, about Vertical Skip Marketing, the newest marketing vision for Herbalife: From: Thomas
________ [____________@yahoo.com] Hi
Rob, Your
information regarding Herbalife, was at one time accurate. I as a
distributor was embarrassed to see all of the trashy signs. For the last
2 years it has been against company policy to post, and thereby, we no longer
see signs (Thank God!). Second, Your
information on this web site is inaccurate: http://www.cockeyed.com/workfromhome/vertical_skip_marketing.html 1st
sentence: Correct to a point – we do market Herbalife Products with Vertical
Skip Marketing 2nd
paragraph: Entirely incorrect – “Short story: You will probably be
asked to buy a "decision kit" for $38 or so, then you will be asked
to spend $299, for an "international business package" (IBP), then
you will be asked to spend $2,000 to accumulate "Value Points" to
become a "supervisor". Vertical
Skip Marketing does not offer a decision package of any sort. If you
watch our presentation www.how2bsuccessful.com/preview,
you will see that it talks about $99 with is the cost of a Herbalife
Distributor Kit (IBP). It is a straight sign up with no profit.
This is different from OTHER Herbalife systems that sell the $38 d-pack and
the $299 sign up – which they profit approximately $120 total. We have
NO profit on Sign up. With
regard to, “then you will be asked to spend $2,000 to accumulate "Value
Points" to become a "supervisor".” This is inaccurate
in 2 places, #1 there is no obligation to become a supervisor to make profits.
#2 Qualifying as a supervisor requires you accumulate 4000 VOLUME points of
sales in one month between you and the people you recruit. Please
either remove your web site (s), or correct it with the above ACCURATE
non-libelous information. I appreciate it. Feel free to call me if
you have any questions Thomas

And finally the last one, about the Kirby
Vacuum Cleaner Story:
From: Rachel Bloomfield [__________@hotmail.com]
Dear Kirby Hater!
I know you have your views on Vacuum cleaners but you
do not know all the facts. If you want all the condition that is in your
house to stay there and cause allergies and asthma then dont spend however
much on a vacuum, but the Kirby can clear your home of all the sand and grit
that destroys your carpet by cleaning from the bottom up so right there your
saving anywhere from $2000-$20,000 on carpet replacement. As well as it
helps restore your furniture so theres another $2000 you save, and between
what you spend on shampooing and vacuums alone over the next 20 years is
astronomical! So in turn your actually saving money when you buy the Kirby,
not wasting it. Whens the best time to start saving Rob? Yesterday like I
thought! As well the Kirby is 1 out of 2 machines that is guarenteed to get
all the dust mites and dust mite feces out of you matress (which btw is the
cause of 1/6 kids respatory problems) The only other machine is called the
Royal and is $1000 and only sold commercially.
And if you must buy it on ebay theres only 2 catches.
one would be that it doesnt come with the lifetime rebuild warrenty, hence
why you would never have to buy a vacuum again. As well as if it cost about
$600 on ebay, whats the shipping cost? shipping is determined by weight! do
you know how heavy it is? its about 20 lbs, have you ever shipped anything
thats 20 pounds? Its almost as much as $600 So really your not saving
anything on Ebay at all! Your just getting a used vacuum for the same price!
And as far as the salesman, I happen to be one, Im a
19 year old "Blonde" as you like to put it and I do shampoo the
carpets myself, and I dont pressure at all as well as I wouldnt be so rude
to leave the popcan on the porch, if the one particular guy you mentioned
did so, then he would have been fired!
Thanks for your time

Anyway, that is it. I always treat negative emails with respect, and give full refunds to the dissatisfied readers.
I'm sure the hate mail numbers for the rest of the month will flatten out, and even if they don't, they could never match the number of cool, complimentary, congratulatory ones.
Thanks!
