Great Question! \u00a0Why are so many Affiliates leaving Talk Fusion?<\/em><\/strong><\/span> I can only answer that question from my point of view, and from my experience. \u00a0Over 90% of my down line has left Talk Fusion. \u00a0First, allow me to give you a little of my background. \u00a020 years ago I had a little network marketing stint with a company you may have heard of; Herbalife. \u00a0That was before online marketing and computers were such an integral part of the game!<\/p>\n

Fast forward 15 years and enter MonaVie. \u00a0My wife and I were re-introduced to Network Marketing with a team of wonderful people. \u00a0We truly learned what \u201cRelationship Marketing\u201d was all about. \u00a0After a few years of building in MonaVie, we saw the trend begin to shift towards global, virtual,\u00a0digital\u00a0products that require no shipping or customs and have a low monthly affiliate requirement. \u00a0That is when we were introduced to Talk Fusion.<\/p>\n

Our Talk Fusion Business grew in short order as we had a team of people in place that were ready for a change, and saw potential immediately. \u00a0I have to say, I met some great people while building my Talk Fusion business. \u00a0Our problem or concern came from a\u00a0corporate\u00a0level more than anything else.<\/p>\n

My team had expressed individually (many times over) that they were unhappy with the customer\u00a0service\u00a0at Talk Fusion.<\/strong> \u00a0They said that sometimes it went fine and they were helpful, while other times they could not believe how rude and even insulting they were. \u00a0I tried to assure them that it was probably just a bad day and encourage them to put it behind them, but it seemed to be a continuing complaint.<\/p>\n

I was able to see firsthand what they meant when I wrote a letter to support about a video newsletter that I saw online. \u00a0My letter told them that I found a video newsletter online that was just like the\u00a0newsletter\u00a0that Talk Fusion was soon to release. \u00a0I\u2019m sure there were a few little differences, but it was very much the same. \u00a0I even included the link to the video newsletter. \u00a0It was from a company called Get Response. \u00a0 \u00a0I gave the link and suggested that maybe we should tailor our claim that Talk Fusion is coming out with the world first video newsletter. \u00a0Clearly there already was one. \u00a0Little did I know at that time there were many! \u00a0The response from support came back and they said, \u00a0\u201dRespectfully, that in no way is a video newsletter\u201d \u00a0I replied that it certainly was. \u00a0You can drop pictures and videos into place and click and drag, and track your emails, and use pre-designed templates etc.. \u00a0 I told them that you can\u2019t just say it\u2019s not, and make it not. \u00a0Their response was that their\u00a0answer\u00a0remained the same, end of story.<\/p>\n

You see, \u00a0There you have the first issue. \u00a0Talk Fusion does not, and did not have the world\u2019s first video newsletter. \u00a0Not by a long shot. \u00a0There were others in use almost a full year ahead of the Talk Fusion product offer. \u00a0When it was brought to their attention, they did not care and continued to\u00a0falsely claim first to market.<\/p>\n

2nd, If you search the internet you will find numerous posts about credit card\u00a0mishandling. \u00a0I can\u2019t speak for all of the people that I read about online, but I can give you a snapshot of my experience. \u00a0I want to say that I am not accusing Talk Fusion of doing anything wrong, or illegal at all. \u00a0I am sharing with you a common thread. \u00a0 \u00a0My daughter, who was<\/strong> a Talk Fusion associate called me and told me that her credit card (and her husbands card) was compromised. \u00a0Two days later she had\u00a0received\u00a0a call from her sister saying that her card was compromised. \u00a0She told me that both of the cards were the cards they use for their Talk Fusion auto-ship. \u00a0I told her that it was probably a coincidence. \u00a0Two weeks later, one of my cards was compromised and soon after, so was another of my cards that guess what\u2026 \u00a0 both were used for Talk Fusion auto-ship. \u00a0So I decided that it was time to write another email to support at Talk Fusion. \u00a0This was the week before Christmas. \u00a0 I told them about the four credit card issues and that the only common thread was a Talk Fusion auto-ship. \u00a0I did mention that I had to wait for the money to be returned to my card and had to file a report with the police etc, and asked what I should do about Christmas shopping without that money or that card. \u00a0 I also asked why did Talk Fusion NOT tell anyone what was going on. \u00a0Why was there Not a\u00a0notification\u00a0telling their hard working Affiliates to keep an eye out for a\u00a0possible\u00a0problem. \u00a0 Another classic response from Talk Fusion came back to me stating, \u00a0– Tyler, Do not send disrespectful and ignorant letters to Talk Fusion ever again.<\/p>\n

So let me get this straight\u2026 I am a victim of credit card fraud, and when I ask about it I am told not to send disrespectful, ignorant emails? \u00a0Clearly you can see that Talk Fusion customer support does not care<\/strong>, and don\u2019t bring your stupid concerns to the corporate office! \u00a0Customer support is an extension from the top.<\/p>\n

I continued to look into this issue and I have texted, emailed and spoke directly with\u00a0numerous affiliates who told me that they had a credit card compromised in the last few months. \u00a0These were not limited to the U.S. \u00a0 \u00a0I found issues reported from other countries as well. \u00a0When I asked them\u00a0if it happened to be the card they used for Talk Fusion, the answer was YES, Yes, Yes, and so on..\u00a0 I want to reiterate that I am not accusing Talk Fusion of any wrong doing involving credit cards.\u00a0 I am simply stating that I found a common thread and when I brought it to their attention I was called ignorant and disrespectful.\u00a0 As I searched the internet, I was amazed at how many postings I found on this matter.<\/p>\n

Since that time, I have seen multitudes of people leave Talk Fusion. \u00a0I know that the team I worked hard to put into place for the most part has left. \u00a0The bottom has fallen out of my Talk Fusion business. \u00a0One more\u00a0surprise came along. \u00a0I just had another credit card blocked for use. \u00a0I had to call them because they noted unusual activity. \u00a0I was able to stop the charges, but I had to close the card and have another sent out. \u00a0While I had her on the phone I asked if I had used that card for Talk Fusion in the past. \u00a0She said yes, back in July of 2012. \u00a0Another common thread is all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

There is a lot more that I have found and heard about through my research, but I choose to simply stick with my own experience and share that. \u00a0 If you are considering joining Talk Fusion, I will tell you to research the heck out of it before you decide to join. \u00a0It was not a good experience for me.<\/p>\n

I am thankful that I had other irons in the fire as this could have been devastating to have all but a couple of my team leave. \u00a0Our team is happy and active in a new home where we are treated with respect and ethics are paramount!<\/p>\n
