Summary

Today I want to talk about what is happening right now with SEINT, a popular company in our space and one that I’ve worked extensively with. If you haven’t heard already, SEINT just announced that they are changing their compensation model to a pure affiliate model, which means that SEINT will be getting rid of the team building side and focus solely on product sales.

This is a big deal and sad news for our profession, and I want to share my thoughts on it because as a company, it’s our mission to elevate the standards in this space. Not only by the way that all of us practice business, but also to hold the companies accountable by having some of the difficult conversions that need to be had, so we can educate you in what to look for in the companies that you align with.

Although people are seeing this as a sign that our industry is falling apart, you’ll see why I think this could not be further from the truth. With the fear and uncertainty out there, I’ve spent the last few days gathering my thoughts so that I can speak to you about what is happening, and I went live to do that.

Today, I’m re-sharing that livestream that I did here on the podcast. The big message I want to bring to the SEINT artists who are feeling afraid is that I’ve been through this situation myself twice in my career, and we’re here to support you. Whether you’re in SEINT or not, if you’re in this profession and serious about building a future in it, this is going to be a very important message for you to hear today.
