Greetings My Friends,
Paul Burks here. I haven’t written a letter here for a while and I wanted to take a few minutes to share with you some of the thoughts that have been going through my mind for the past few weeks.
First, today, June 24th, 2012, marks the 15th company’s 15th anniversary. The company started as Signed and Numbered International Inc. on June 24th, 1997 in the basement of my house in Lexington, NC. We restructured as Rex Venture Group LLC in 2003.
During those fifteen years we have seen many changes both in the industry and even within our company itself. When we started, everything was done by phone, fax and postal mail. The Internet was not much of a factor in those days. Through the years we have evolved through numerous phases in products, services, pay plans, marketing methods and technology.
One thing that has never changed, however, is our commitment to always keep the best interest of our affiliates at the forefront of everything we do! In 2001 Darryle Douglas and I began a quest to create something we called Exact Method Marketing. The idea was to find a way to reverse the 97% failure rate that had always been the reality in network marketing.
It took us TEN YEARS of hard work, trial and error, and harsh criticism to finally achieve that goal. With the creation of ZeekRewards we finally were able to develop a truly task-driven, system based opportunity that allows people who do not have sales and recruiting skills to finally earn from a home-based business!
Zeek has become probably the fastest growing company in our industry’s history. But that has not come without detractors. When you are number one you become an easy target. And the Internet makes it easy to spread bad news quickly.
I have always made it my policy to never respond to the hateful, negative, critical and mostly false rantings of those who would love to see us fail. I will continue that policy. Just know that it is pretty easy to find fault and point fingers and criticize people who are actually accomplishing something. These pundits like to take whatever we write or say and twist it around into something totally different, or even illegal.
I know that you are probably tired of hearing about “growing pains” but they are indeed a factor that we have to deal with every day. We have gone from two web servers to forty web servers in the past four months. Our affiliate and customer base is growing so fast that it is nearly impossible to keep pace with the support infrastructure.
99.9% of all transactions on the site happen flawlessly. But when you have this many transactions going on, that .1% amounts to hundreds of little glitches. Our critics latch on to those and try to make it appear that we are a bunch of bumbling idiots, or even worse, that we are deliberately trying to hurt our affiliates! How crazy would THAT be??
I just wanted to say THANKS to all of you who have stood by the company through everything that we’ve all been through together. And a special thanks to Dawn for all that she does. She works tirelessly to get the systems in place to deal with the growth and the challenges that it presents. Thanks D, and CONGRATULATIONS on being voted the top MLM leader in the world! I’m SO proud of you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
To your MASSIVE Success!
