CONS:
1. FHTM Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing still uses a “Warm” market approach of family and friends as your single method for growing your FHTM business. This accounts for some of the highest representative turn over rates in MLM history. Yet it is still strictly enforced in all the training material, DVD’s, presentations and conference calls. They continue to simplify there approach instead of helping their representatives learn how to effectively grow their business. So if you’re in FHTM for the long haul using this marketing model, then be prepared for endless hours of frustration with little or no progress to show for all your effort.
In conclusion FHTM Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing is a great vehicle by which one can accomplish great things for their family and others. They’re a solid company with a sound compensation plan and have established themselves for the long haul in the Home Based Business Industry. However if the “Warm Market” approach is not working for you, you need to find a more effective ways to grow your FHTM Business.

As someone with many years experience owning my own brokerage business and having formerly worked at top Wall Street investment banks after earning an MBA from a top-tier university, I feel well qualified in my assessment that this is not a valid, long-term business model for anyone interested in a legitimate opportunity to be considering.
I accepted an invitation to dinner last night to listen to what I thought was going to be an investment proposal from a new associate of mine.
I sat through the silly recruitment presentation and cringed as I heard it literally described as a pyramid scheme and saw bar charts with exponential growth projections and lots of “$$$” signs everywhere with no coherent explanation.
I asked for the leader guy’s business card at the end because he couldn’t answer any of my questions without invoking a lot of emotion. His business card showed him as a salesperson at a car lot two-towns over and made no mention of FHTM.
When I told the leader guy that I doubted this was legitimate, he proceeded to tell me how Ken Lewis was a member and holds FHTM meetings at his house in Charlotte all the time, so how could it not be valid? Would I like Ken to call me? (yes!) Would I like to fly out to the FHTM corp office to talk with the president?, etc… The Ken Lewis claim was of great interest to me given I have worked closely with the upper eschelon of BofA and a lot of the greater Charlotte, NC, business community, and there is very little chance that could possibly be true. All research and phone calls I have made this morning point to the claim being a total fabrication.
I would never risk my credibility being associated with this scheme, nor would I ever want to put pressure on my friends and family to do the same. My relationships are worth more to me than any amount of money, why would I damage what I’ve been building my whole life? Frankly, I am pretty disappointed in my new associate for putting me in that position, and it will take a long time to rebuild any of that trust.
The reason I am taking 5 minutes of my day to share this with the blog is purely to serve as a warning. To me, the FHTM scheme is alarmingly rediculous and predatory, but somehow still legal. Claims that being a member will save you money an things you already buy are absolutely false.
Hopefully I can help prevent some good but maybe easily influenced people from wasting their hard-earned cash, time and reputation by getting involved with this scheme.
