I’ve been asked this question a lot lately…“Why didn’t network marketing EXPLODE from the pandemic and recession, like so many expected? Why are we seeing declines instead of massive growth?”Let’s get into it…There’s no single reason — it’s a combo of things. Yes, the pandemic created a surge for many companies in 2020–2021. But what people don’t talk about is that growth was artificial.It was more of a sugar rush than it was sustainable momentum. People were home.They had more time.More stimulus checks.Ecommerce in general saw record-breaking numbers.But then what happened?Life returned to “normal,” attention spans shrank, wallets tightened, and expectations changed.Here’s what I believe are the top reasons we’ve seen double-digit declines across many product-based companies:1. Artificial Pandemic BumpMany companies grew from a moment, not a movement. Growth wasn’t built on deep belief or long-term behavior—it was built on convenience and timing.2. Lack of InnovationA lot of companies got lazy during the good times. They stopped innovating. Compensation plans didn’t evolve. Products didn’t stay ahead of the curve. Messaging got stale. And when consumer priorities shifted, companies weren’t ready. This is a GENERALIZATION. I know many of you did evolve.3. We’re in the “Options Era”Let’s say someone used to buy 100 things. Now their budget forces them to cut back. 10–30% of those go first. Did your product make the cut?Uber. Airbnb. Affiliate. Creator economy. Ecom dropshipping. All legit options now. If we don’t create real, unique value, we lose.Those options weren't avail in 2008.4. Poor Customer RetentionMost companies still don’t do a great job reselling the customer after the sale. The fortune isn’t just in the follow-up—it’s in the retention experience.5. False ExpectationsPeople heard “work from home” and thought “easy income.” They weren’t ready for rejection, consistency, and leadership development. So they quit early.Lazy on Leadership DevelopmentWe stopped developing leaders because it was so easy!Companies and leaders have been back in the trenches. Some for the last 2 years but you don't just plant a seed and expect a tree to grow the next day. It takes time to see the fruits of your labor. We are starting to see some of those results already and we will continue to see more. This is the WEEDING out season.Listen up—go to www.rankandbanksystem.com right now. Why?

My ONE SPEECH THAT BOMBED Over the last five years, I’ve really dialed in my speaking.Not just because I’ve been on hundreds of stages—but because of what I see behind the scenes.I’ve coached beginners and top earners.Run 30+ masterminds.Built teams in 40+ countries.And through all of that, the message keeps getting sharper.When companies bring me in to speak, I ask questions.I want to know their culture.Their pain points.What they feel their people need most.Usually, when I know the company well, it’s easy to deliver.But recently, I spoke at an event where I didn’t know the culture at all.Corporate gave me a full page of notes—more detail than most.I followed it to a T.People were crying in the audience.The feedback online was fire.I walked off stage knowing I nailed it.But here’s what happened …Turns out the leaders wanted a recruiting-focused training.And what’s ironic?Recruiting is the easiest topic in the world for me.I was the #1 recruiter out of a million distributors.So that was a big lesson.Even though my client is corporate, the heartbeat of the company is often the leaders.Now, whenever possible, I make sure to reach out to leaders ahead of time.I ask what they’re seeing. What their team needs.And if it’s cool with corporate, I make sure to include that insight too.Because you can’t speak with impact if you don’t know what your audience actually needs.Here’s the point:Even after speaking in 23 countries…Even after all the wins…I’ve still had one speech that flopped. It’s not about perfection.It’s about feedback.It’s about adjusting.It’s about staying hungry enough to keep learning—even when you think you’ve already got it.That’s how real growth happens.And if you’re a speaker or a leader of any kind—Never assume.Ask.Adapt.Deliver.That’s how you lead with excellence.
