(*) BB Friday Q&A Webinar 8/9/13
We have a strong team working behind the scenes.
Payouts are going out according to the schedule, with people who haven't been paid first and then in date order.
We are working on Version 3 and things are going well with that.
Q&A
Martin Wilde: I work the business from my heart. I can't work any business unless I have complete belief. I have been with BB for 22 months. I've been a big supporter, and that's because when I first saw BB I did my due diligence and quickly got a strong feeling that it was good. My background was in advertising, so I had some insight into buying online traffic. Alot of the people have never gotten their heads around it. When any company grows as fast as BB did, there will be challenges. Fast growth is difficult to handle. There are issues with the company at the moment. I am only still here supporting Chris, because I know that if this company was looking for a way to run away, that would have happened a long time ago. I have spent time with Chris and I believe in his character and in his vision. He's done something that not many people do. He took an idea and ran with it and made a company that has paid out over $18 Million over time. The company has made mistakes and the affiliate have made mistakes. We have to pull together and work as a team if we want to get to this. I'm not privy to all the information but I know some of the things that are coming. I'm here until the fat lady sings, and Chris has promised me that she won't be singing. With all the new changes, remember, you don't need to rely on traffic packs to build your business. If you speak to new people about BB, as long as you tell them everything honestly. I didnt' know 2 years ago if BB would still be here today, so there always is a risk, but there is less risk now than when I joined. This company has proved itself, because BB is still here. There is alot of work happening behind the scenes that wouldn't be happening if Chris didn't believe in the future of BB. BB has done alot for me and my family. I want to do my part. I have reversed my withdrawals and begun using the new lower withdrawal system. It's our responsibility to get through this. There are always challenges, but this is what busienss is all about. It doesn't always go perfectly. If BB can get things back to normal, then everyone here on this call will be in a great place.
Chris:
Thank you very much. I appreciate Martin's passion. I'm glad to have him on the team.
Questions:
What are some of the items or things that you need to do to help BB? Promote and generate your own traffic through your social networks, emailing etcetera. We're going to be giving you some marketing tips for using social networks. Surveys is one of the things. Watching videos, etc. (please watch the replay to get all of this word for word) Driving traffic, watching videos, surveys, etc.
Duncan Woods:
I'd just like to say I've been in BB for 2 years. I was the most sceptical person. I've been scammed and everything else. When I started BB I can honestly say, it is the best business I have ever done. BB has changed more lives than any other business. I came out to Canada to meet Chris. I came away with 100% belief that Chris can turn this company around. I can't wait for Version 3.
Chris: Thank you for your support and for being with us.
Paul McCarthy: My history with BB goes back to 2011. My background is in mechanics. I tried many other businesses which didn't last more than 3-6 months. I started BB and just watched. I got 10 people from Ireland and we believed in everything we saw. I traveled to Canada to meet Chris in Nov. 2011. I finally met Chris in person. The bloggers are always negative. People come to me and ask is the company going to last next month or next year. I tell them, if Chris was goign to go, he would have gone in March when all the problems started happening. I believe Chris is goign to turn this around. Its frustrating, it's tough. When everything was fantastic, we were here. So when things go wrong, we should also be here. We have the responsibility to our teams. If the leader leaves, the team is left alone. We are going thru tough times, but hang in there. It's going to take some time. But we will then experience the same growth we did in the first 3 years.
Chris:
There are more leaders who have helped BB build the company to where it is. We can overcome these challenges and get to the next phase.
I wanted this call to be different. Please listen to the recording and share it with others. I've tried to give you updates on payouts and Version 3. Alot of things are happening in the background. We are cooking. We are working hard. Keep the feedback coming. I do read this. I am not doing this alone. it is with you and with your feedback. To see what changes need to be made. I don't want to make changes that are intolerable. I want the affiliates happy and to stay with us as we move forward.
(NOTE: please watch the replay, as this is just brief notes, not all that was said by Chris or others)
Have a great weekend. Take Care.
