The news is out, Neways has been shut down, basically, for the next three months. All current distributors may buy and sell products, however, there is a government imposed three month moratorium on recruiting. Why? Apparently some “unethical recruiting” was taking place, and enough people got tired of it. Neways will survive this, however, it sends a loud and clear message to one of the industries largest network marketing markets in the world.

I don’t know, really, what todays ethics are. I know the dictionary defines ethics as, “a set of moral principles, esp. ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, of form of conduct.” Some people function solely on the premise of “buyer beware.” CLEARLY, there is a conflict here. So are the buyer beware people unethical? Buyers should be aware anytime it involves investing time, money, dreams, effort, while at the same time sacrificing. The responsibility lies with the buyer to make sure what he is being sold is what it is said to be. Ideally, we would all be honest. That just isn’t the case.

Network Marketing recruiting can be done by anyone. All you have to do is pay the sign up fee, and you are in. With thousands and thousands recruiting, there will be some bad apples. Usually, if someone is really unethical, their business will not last too long. However, some are just REALLY THAT GOOD. Some of these heavy recruiters will say anything, do anything, lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever it takes to close the deal. This is at the root of dissatisfaction among the 85% of the worlds population who are not interested in network marketing.

Eithics do play a role in life, especially in a relationship business. And for the most part, one cannot escape the consequences of unethical actions for long. Neways is not the only company that has this going on, but was unlucky enought to pay the price for everyone. From time to time, the industry needs a good wake up call, thanks Neways!
