Needing some input. Feeling conflicted.
I am on day 18 of the 24 day Advocare Cleanse. I bought it through a friend from the gym...my workout buddy. She is a distributor. Anyhoooo... I am doing really well with this and seeing some sweet results and now my coach is talking about seeling Advocare from the gym.
My position is... She is my rep. I want to help out the gym any way I can, but she is the one who got me on this... so...she is my rep. If/when I buy more product, I buy from her. If I am asked about my success and people want more info...I give her info. But then I feel bad b/c I want to help out the gym and Eric was hinting yesterday that he needs "a success story" to help push the product.
Is it ok to try to find a balance by saying...if you want to use me as an example...ok...but if •I• am asked...I give out my rep's name and info...and I buy from her. Does that sound reasonable. I am a loyal ho and I think it is right to stick by the person who introduced it to me...but if he does his own leg work and uses me as an example for his own efforts...that is ok? HELP PLEASE!

Tough one Georgie... I think it's okay for the gym to use you as an example but make it clear that you will not be buying from him or be selling it on his behalf... that you will continue to buy from your friend and if asked you will say she is your distributor. If he/the gym is okay with that then sure have them use you as an example.
Ideally what will happen is that someone else that buys the product at the gym will have great results and then he/the gym can use that person as his testimonial. Maybe mention that to him too - you are the "temporary" testimonial to get him started.
Good luck with all that! :flowerforyou:0 -
