Barrett M82A1 verses Network Marketing…
How does your machine perform?
Little did I know today that when my son came over, that this is what I’d be writing about. I sat down to watch this show with him on how to make a Barrett M82A1 quieter, with less signature (giving your position away in a sniper type capacity), and with less discomfort to the operator (due to the kick back).
The whole premise of the show focused on taking this .50 calibre rifle and making it work in a more efficient, quieter, and a more comfortable capacity for military, and law enforcement snipers.
Of course, I have no understanding of gun operations, but this is an interest for my son. It soon occurred to me that this whole process could be used as analogy for network marketing.
The Barrett M82A1 verses Network Marketing…
Now how can I make this work?
A Barrett M82A1 rifle is known for it’s superior performance, and accuracy. This is also what your well oiled network-marketing machine should be known for.
The Barrett M8241 is known for great stopping power. Another feature that your network marketing business should be known for…thwarting the competition (well, you don’t really want to stop them…you just want to out perform them).
The whole point of network marketing, like the Barrett M82A1, is to hit your target with more power and more accuracy. This gun has a scope on it for laser focus.
With this same kind of strategy for network marketing we can hit out target market, business goals, and sales. Now, as these gentlemen were trying to internally change the barrel of the rifle to quiet the gun, and make it more comfortable for the user, I thought of this as another benefit for network marketing. We always need to be thinking of better ways to internally run our businesses for efficiency so that we can decrease our time spent on tasks that are uncomfortable.
One of the techniques that these custom gun designers tried to apply to quiet the gun was a method called porting. They drilled holes through the barrel so that some of the gases from the firing of the gun could be released, so as to make it quieter. This particular method didn’t work. The gun was unable to hit its mark, and they had to come up with another plan. This is the same with our network marketing machine…when we find a technique isn’t working, we need to come up with another plan.
In this case, the gentlemen did come up with another plan that was successful for quieting the gun, and for making the human discomfort less, while hitting the target. Let me ask you, have you been successful with your business plans?
So when it comes to a Barrett M82A1 verses network maketing…how does you machine perform?
There are so many aspects of network marketing.

Hi Godwin,
Thanks again for commenting. As always, I appreciate your visits.
Hey BG,
When I first saw the title of this post and the rifle I wasn’t too sure about this one. It is my first visit but I wanted to check your post out anyway.
As I skimmed down the page and continued reading I could see the analogy you were making to network marketing. I think we can almost find them anywhere to be honest with you so I can see where parts of this really do ring true.
One thing is for sure, we are always eager to find better ways of making things easier and simpler for us all around. That I do know for sure.

Hi BG,
When I read the URL I didn’t expect to see an image of a gun when the page loaded up so I had to check and make sure I was in the right place.
Very well written and great way to look at network marketing and the rifle and I can see how the two are the same but so very different. Great work as always.

Hi Tristram. I know…I guess I should have thought better of it…but here in our country guns are our 2nd amendment right, and I guess I didn’t realize how opposed a lot of people are to them. Thanks for commenting.
I don’t know about other people BG, but this blog post was right up my alley! I love a little bit of creativity and when people do/write things that is different. You definitely hit the nail in the coffin with this one girl. Great post.

Never knew a network marketing company could be compared to a huge machine gun…but hey you hit the nail right on the head!
Lol. A good question to think about when you want to see what your network marketing opportunity is all about and how it stacks up against the rest.
