Kim Klaver responds to her critics
Hi guys,
If you haven’t seen it yet, Kim Klaver visited our little blog yesterday and replied to the thread we’ve been having about her new startup company. You can read her comments and the comments of others here. It’s always impressive when someone “gets it”. 5 years ago I was doing internet marketing for my MLM and I was having a hard time recommending Kim’s training because at that point she didn’t get it. In the past 5 years she has really embraced internet marketing. Having the savvy to not only have a mailing list, have a blog that automatically posts to her mailing list, and taking the time to visit and participate in other blogs is very cutting edge marketing. Good for you Kim. Thanks for stopping by.
Kim also wrote a response on the topic of hew new company on her blog yesterday. She had some pretty interesting things to say. If you scroll down to the PS you’ll see some of her reply.
If I can quote a bit here without getting into trouble:
From New School Network Marketing Blog
P.S. Confession. After ten years of training and consulting I have finally decided to get back in the field. I’m part owner of a tiny nutritional start up. So I am no longer an unaffiliated “guru” and if that makes a difference for you, there it is. I will be implementing some changes on this blog to reflect this change in my status. Because now all my words will be perceived differently by some.
P.P.S. Over the years of writing this blog, I have reported some of the bad media coverage of various companies, many of whose reps I have worked with for years. I posted those old links in one place recently which caused quite a stir. My goal then and now was always the same: point out practices in the field that make us sitting ducks for media who hates us, and regulators who keep hearing bad things about us. Now of course those comments look evil. I didn’t expect that, stupidly, so I’ll be changing things here.
I think Kim get’s it. I think she understands that now because she has a startup MLM that everything is perceived differently. It’s a paradigm shift for her. She didn’t realize how stuff she wrote a year or more ago might effect how she is perceived today since now she is viewed as the owner of a MLM startup.
Let’s do our part and let this topic die and let Kim take care of business.
I know she’s going to continue to write some killer training materials.

PS. Nelson – thanks for pointing out that the “names” weren’t showing up in the comments. That was a typo in the template.

As a newbie, I just don’t get Kim Klavers blog! I had never been in a network marketing business, nor had I any “negative light” on it other than it was “marketing” and I believed I wasn’t a marketer.
Only because I was referred to her blog, where she repeatedly brought to my attention all of the negative garbage that network marketing has in the press, did I hesitate about what I had gotten myself into. I was looking for motivation, inspiration and direction.
In my opionion her blog is careless in creating a positive view on network marketing. When you continue to post negative, after negative, thats what you get is negative.. It becomes a chain reaction as is evident by the responses of her fellow bloggers.
And as for her “new start-up”, was it just a couple of months in the making? I am not in any way stating what it takes to put a network marketing business together because I do not know, however, I would think that a company that markets supplements would probably take a year or longer in the planning process.
Just my opinion..

Lisa,
You said it all in your first line,”As a newbie, I just don’t get Kim Klavers blog! I had never been in a network marketing business….”
Perhaps you ought to do a little research before taking shots at one of the most honest people you will find in the industry of NETWORK Marketing.
Had you 10 or 20 years experience in this field as many of her readers do, then you would “get it”.
Lots of luck,
