The current MLM and “network marketing” trends just take this obnoxious behavior to a new level since you can now “know” thousands of people. Business owners are right to be leary. These relationships are often all take and no give. It’s a pity since professional networking has enormous potential when you do it right. That happens when you match people to services and information they need – not when you trick business partners into a relationship that takes the focus away from their core functions.
