Ted updates Global V. team

I have received so much positive feedback over the last several days from e-Associates welling with enthusiasm regarding my open and upfront communication of where we are headed with Global Verge. When our doors reopen in the next several weeks for the phones and the service (that we have so diligently worked to establish) the flood gates will be like nothing we have ever experienced, including the rush we had last summer. This will be because the offering we have will be like nothing anyone has ever experienced. .
On the other hand, I have also been receiving literally hundreds of calls and emails from people who are worried because of things they are being told by who they had felt were leaders in the field. These individuals have been receiving emails and calls and being asked to attend conference calls and meetings to let them know that they should move with a team to another company that is being formed by them. They are being told to fill out a paper form so they can get their placement. Most of the concerns I am hearing are coming from e-Associates who say to me ?these people think we are sheep? or ?they think I don?t have a mind of my own.? I personally want you to understand that I know that we have a very intelligent base of e-Associates that made up their own minds when they joined us, made up their own minds when they decided to continue with us or even decided to put their autoship on hold and sit back. So certainly we understand that you are intelligent enough to make your own decision going forward.
At Global Verge corporate we know what we have. We know what is coming and we know how difficult it is to pull it off. Certainly you have witnessed this. And frankly we feel badly for anyone that chooses to take a different direction, but of course this is their prerogative. I personally want you to know that we are here for you. We have known for quite some time about this organization of people that believe they can do what we are doing and believe they can do it better. We recognized it when they came into our offices to glean as much as possible from us about what our strategies are. And, competition is the name of the game. But with what we have now and have been striving after for many months, we know we can?t be touched and this feels so good. However, you have to do what feels good for you.
I used the analogy of a ship when I wrote to you last week saying ?When we officially meet someday I want to personally shake your hand and welcome your friends on board the ship that made it through the storm.? I want you to know that I was definitely not referring to the Titanic. So let me reassure you that we will arrive safely with thousands on board. Also know that I am not referring to a rowboat either. We started in a rowboat because any new business has to have the help of many people to grab an oar to get it pointed in the right direction. However, if a few people on the rowboat feel that it should go in a direction that they selfishly benefits them personally, but does not necessarily benefit everyone on the boat, then it?s best that they get off. We don?t work from an ego perspective here. We work from a collective perspective and have rejected egos. Our approach has not worked for some people but we feel very strongly about it. We believe that everyone is equal. We believe that there is no one group or no one person that is a greater leader than another. I?m sure you understand the networking world and so you know that each person gets a few who in turn do the same. When you are told ?We Want You!? you should feel proud of that fact. You are a leader yourself. You are in control of YOUR team. Therefore, don?t ever feel that you have to turn in a certain direction because someone in front of you says this is the way we are turning; even if your team consists of one.
I have so appreciated every call and email. My heart goes out to each of you. But we are here. And, regardless of the rhetoric you are being fed, we will always be here. We are not going anywhere. The only thing left to say is that when we hit shore, get out of the way because we have the product and we promise to over deliver.
With great respect,
Ted Robbins, President
Global Verge
