MLM Top Earner Ben Sturtevant States Troy Dooly Has Lost All Credibility In The MLM Profession

Aug 3 2012 in Lightyear Wireless, MLM News, Vi-Tell Wireless, ViTel Energy by Troy Dooly

Ben Sturtevant is the #1 Income Earner at Lightyear Wireless a division of the public telecommunication company Lightyear Network Solutions.

One of the young GenY Leaders who truly understand how to stick to the facts and still get his point across.

Now before I get to what Ben wrote I think everyone should read what Richard Brooke wrote a few years ago about all of Network Marketing Uniting Together. We need to hold each other accountable, not be slandering each other for financial gain.

    It's funny what he said about Brandon Ivey. Brandon is the only leader I've ever known to make a video and post it about his failures, and what made him into what he is today. Most leader try to make their entire life look like a happy fairy tale. I personally love the leadership of Brandon, and his openness and honesty.

    As far as the comments about Reginald Stinson, I'll just quote Michael Jordan.

    "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

    We don't care where Reginald has been, we care about where he's gong because he's taking A LOT of people there with him. And again, never once has there been a lie about how successful he is, that is not what Vitel is about, and that''s not what our team is about.

    • Troy Dooly

      @Joey,

      I know what you mean. In meeting and talking with Brandon, and listening to him share on Tom Chenualt's radio show, it was easy to tell he is not someone who has had it all handed to him. He has worked hard, made mistakes, learned from those mistakes and got back up to fight another day.

        Troy thank you for always being honest. I am a Vitel Builder from the "Big Easy" Reggie and Brandon has shown to be the best type of leaders I ever worked with. I have learn to become a better presenter, recruiter & sales rep under their leadership.

        Love Vitel approach to the wireless industry. No faking that they own anything. They just provide a way for members to capitalize on where people are already spending their money and showing them how Vitel can pay those bills for them. Who would not want someone else paying their bills. LOL EVERYONE.

        Keep up the good work Vitel and Troy. I LOVE VITEL

      all that i am going to say is … troy your the man i love you and thank ou for all you.. the leadership here in vitel is second to none.. we are very power so many mnds coming together from other places.. together here in vitel we are one… team of people getting paid …we have came in and turned out the industry, no bashing just action … reginald and brandon are top in our books …

    • http://www.rideandtalkfree.com Rich W.

      I joined Vitel in April and they have been paying a few of my Bills every single month.

      As far as Brandon, he have been showing his production Day by Day, Week by Week and Month by Month. I have the same back office, numbers don't lie.

      Bottom line, Get your bills paid today!! This is the right place at the right time.

  • Jim Bartlett

    Troy, there are a few that I respect as much as you in mlm but none I respect more.

    Jim

    • Troy Dooly

      @Jim,

      Thank you brother… We have sure been down some wild and crazy roads together :)

  • http://www.live1dream.com Brandon Ivey

    Another great video Troy. I guess I should feel honored that even though I have never met or spoken to Ben before that he knows who I and Reginald Stinson are. Ben has had tremendous success in this industry. He has helped a lot of people change their lives financially. He is a documented leader who I have watched with admiration over the years.

    I am not on Ben's level financially. This has been my break out year and it is unfortunate that instead of getting support from the already established leaders that we might be attacked, but it comes with the territory.

    I believe in what Wallace D. Wattles stated in his book, "The Science of Getting Rich." We do not need to become wealthy on the competitive plain. All we need to do is concentrate on the creative plain and focus on that. We do not need to take from someone else to increase our bank accounts.

    There is enough for all of us. Wireless alone is a $2 Trillion dollar industry and Vitel is just positioned to get a piece. We concentrated on having a very unique marketing advantage that has allowed Vitel to become the third fastest growing company over the past 6 months even ahead of Zeek Rewards according to mlmrankings.com.

    I guess Ben may feel threatened by that. I wish Ben and all the reps in Light Year continued success and I invite Ben to actually have a conversation with me to see that I am not the things he is saying about me. Let's communicate instead of attack one another. All of us are in this together in network marketing and we should move as one unit, not individual pieces. That way we all win.

    Thank you Troy!

    • Troy Dooly

      @Brandon,

      Love your passion, Been has had great success, and really has proven, that even in the middle of the MLM Wireless Wars, was able to not just hold his team together, but grow in a big way.

      He helped to add so much value in those days, and really provide for the average folks, some solid facts.

      Knowing your back story, and how you and your team just continued to drive it forward, I am convinced your story is just beginning.

      Lightyear has come a long ways, and Ben has been a leading force over there. I think next year will be even better for them than 2012.

      Keep rocking my friend and thank you for being the servant leader you are.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

    • http://www.9042265460.com Deb

      thank you, Troy!

      and Brandon…you are awesome!!!

    • Mr.Washington

      BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU! ENOUGH SAID CHURCH!

      MR.WASHINTON SOON TO BE THE VITEL MILLIONAIRE!

    • http://www.eichin.myvitel.com Nancy Eichin

      Very well said Brandon. I agree. There are many network marketing/direct sales companies around. Many of them are excellent companies! Everyone can't be in the same company. That doesn't mean that if someone is in a different company that they are inferior. My mission in life is to help others. I feel called to bless others as I have been blessed. Some that I share this with have chosen to go with a different company. That's okay. I still respect them and wish them well because it obviously wasn't the right fit for them. Let's all continue to make it about 'them', and affirm, not belittle, others. I respect Troy immensely and even more so now.

  • http://www.itcanbefree.myvitel.com Francis

    You are just a proud father. Nothing wrong with that.

  • http://live1dream.com Brandon Ivey

    Troy you have done absolutely nothing wrong and you have not lost any credibility in this industry. I have been following you for years and you always tell the truth whether it is positive or negative. You have developed a reputation that is well respected by company owners and representatives.

    I have watched you give great reviews about Light Year Wireless and Ben Sturtevant. You are fair and balanced with all the companies. I have even watched you report negative news about your close friends.

    I have never mislead or lied about whatever income I may earn. I am a documented top income earner from multiple third party sources. Vitel has retired me from my job at 36 years old.

    But what is more impressive is that Vitel has allowed individuals like Reginald Stinson to have the greatest success he has ever had in our industry. Reginald and other top leaders in Vitel have helped hundreds of people eliminate their monthly household bills.

    That is what Vitel is all about. Not wireless, or products, but people. We help remove the number one stress in peoples lives and that is their bills. And you have reported on this and to do so is not biased at all.

    So sir you continue to do what you have been doing. You make us hold ourselves to a higher standard and I am confident if Vitel does something that would hurt distributors you would report on that as well.

    Thank you for all you do and keeping us informed about what is happening in our industry!

    • Troy Dooly

      @Brandon,

      Thank you my friend. I love the drive and passion the founders and current executives show at Lightyear. They have a tiger by the tail and they are not going to give up until they have created a rock solid profitable telecommunication company. And without a doubt Ben and the crew at Lightyear Wireless are a huge part of the passion.

      I went digging into the Internet Archives (Way Back Machine) to try and find where you might have gotten overly excited and wrote or said something that was questionable about your income, and I did not find it. I did find a couple of items where you mentioned your failures, and struggles and gave your team the facts that they have to fight to win. I love leaders who tell it like it is. Network Marketing is a simple business, but it may be the hardest work some folks have ever done!

      Keep serving and pushing your team up!!!

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

  • Chris

    This is called America, means you can do as you like as long as its legal and ethical and you are as straight and honest and solid as they come….my family wishes your son success! Your a model of credibility!

  • Angela Skabelund

    Ben I am ashamed of you. Here I thought you were so professional and we have spoken a few times in the past. I know for sure Vitel is doing something amazing for people.

    Lightyear is a totally different animal.

    I love Vitel. I planned to join Lightyear for the last year or two but Vitel came and I could see I can save over $15000 a year on my bills. What will Lightyear do for my bills?

    Yes, I could represent them and sell their products and earn income. Somehow it just feels so much better to see people going online and paying their bills and helping others to get their bills paid as well, not just a phone bill. The freedom to choose is awesome.

    Ben is a very successful guy and I thought that Lightyear was a good company, but bashing others isn't going to build Lightyear. Vitel is awesome and you can find me on fb and message me if you'd like more information. -Angela Skabelund

    • Troy Dooly

      Angela,

      You hit the nail on the head… Lightyear is a different animal. SOme folks are drawn to straight forward telecommunications like Lightyear has to offer, and that is wonderful. Other folks are drawn to benefit and membership based companies like ViTel.

      Keep rocking it out and keep me posted.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

    • Steve

      Let me be clear, Ben shouldn’t be ashamed. Vitel’s home office is in a tiny store front worst then Zeek Rewards home office. Be accountable and you do have a position thru your son. Vitel is a worthless company that uses tmi wireless affiliate programs. Troy you’re not a leader like Ben, so do not compare.

  • http://www.konradrowe.com Konrad Rowe

    Troy, you are one of the few industry reviewers that I know of that's always been up front and transparent regarding your relationships with individuals and companies in this industry. Your conduct has been nothing but exemplary in my opinion.

  • http://www.9042265460.com Deb

    Wow. Well it is a shame when some people have to bash another. There is plenty of room for everyone…and everyone should 'play nice'.

    As for Vitel, Reginald & Brandon…I have NEVER experienced such caring and supportive leadership in ANY company that I have ever been involved with or looked at.

    I feel quite positive and secure with this company and our leaders.

    Keep up the good work guys!

    And Thank you so much, Mr Dooly!

    I appreciate and respect you!

    • http://www.householdbilleliminator.com T.J.

      I agree Deb. Brandon and Reginald are leaders that TRULY care about their team and Vitel Wireless. I've never experienced so much support and love in a home-based business… Ever! We are all one unit, one family here at Vitel and I'm proud to say I'm "Vitel for Life!"

  • http://www.utilityfreezone.com Maurice Staples

    With the world economy the way it is people need to understand that the MLM model is their way out. But that wont happen if we keep bashing each other. As always Troy you shoot straight form the hip. Keep doing what you are doing for this great industry.

  • Angela Skabelund

    Troy Dooly you are awesome!!!

  • http://www.jordenscadet.com Jordens Cadet

    This is silly, I would do the same for my son or anyone that I want to succeed.

  • http://www.householdbilleliminator.com T.J.

    Thanks Troy for making this video. It's really disheartening to see this happen in the network marketing industry. I'm actually quite shocked Ben would stoop this low and attack Vitel as well as you. Not sure what his motives were or what he was trying to prove.

    I hope he thought hard about this before he took this kind of action. I wish him much success in his Lightyear Wireless career and hope he learns that you don't need to be hateful towards another company to draw attention to yourself. In the end, we all should work together and keep this industry as positive and uplifting as possible.

    Stay blessed!

    • Troy Dooly

      @T.J.,

      These types of issues happen less and less. But when any of us, forget to "Act Like Networkers" then we must hold each other accountable.

      Keep rocking it forward, and keep me posted on your success.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

    Troy,

    My respects to you again. You stand for something and not fall for anythig. I know Ben and I admire his success, but I do not agree with the unprofessionalism, and unethical behavior. Just like you, even at my young age, I'm an advocate of the industry. In fact, if you look at my Spanish presentations I say at the end, even if you don't join Vitel, I offer you my help in building whichever business you want, because thats how passionate I am. There's enough for everyone, any business is for Anyone but not Everyone.

    I have been attacked as well recently by other companies because of the spanish and latino development my team and I have accomplished.

    You have all of our support and respects. We stand by to protect the industry and behind morals and ethics.

    I wish Ben and their company their best and we are here to even help them as well.

    Sincerely,

    Jesse aka Mr. Entrepreneur

    Young Latino Leader

    • Troy Dooly

      @Jesse,

      You have been kicking it up, and watching you drive the network marketing message through the Latino community and the GenY demographic has been wonderful to watch.

      I am always here to serve!!!

As a father to a father, YOU DA' MAN!!

    Awesome video Troy! I have watched several of your videos over the past few months, and I have come to truly respect you and admire you. You are completely honest and tell it like it is. I love that!

    Ben bashing other companies and leaders is why this industry has to fight tooth and nail to keep a good reputation. We, as network marketers, should be supporting each other, not bashing each other.

    Troy, you keep supporting your son, this industry, and keep doing the fantastic job that you always do!

  • http://www.turnerkincaid.com Turner Kincaid

    As a professional and a capitalist who embraces competition, I will never bash another opportunity. These opportunities allow people to feed their children or live out their dreams. People go in business with me because they respect m as leader. They trust me in my ability to lead them to place i have been myself. So yes my vehicle is Vitel but people ride with me because I am a heck of a driver. So I embrace other companies such as Lightyear and ACN these are great companies, but its not about the companies its about the leaders. Troy your unbiased coverage in our profession is always appreciated.

  • http://WWW.HATER.COM RASHAD

    hey troy i got a joke..knock knock… whos there.. ben..ben who..ben hated on before so its nuthin…$$POWERTEAM$$

  • http://ValSmyth.com Greg

    I also had communication with Ben Sturtevant a few years ago when I got involved with a telecom company. He sent me a message through Facebook and wanted to see the comp plan as if he was truly interested.

    I asked him if he wanted to chat with the top leaders and that I would be happy to get him in contact with them.

    He proceeded to bash this company and compared lightyears to mine. He beat my company up and most would have been bruised. Some would have quit because such a great leader such as Ben Sturtevant must know what he is talking about.

    I ended the communication in a positive light and just said that we must both be in great companies. He had someone in his downline that was ready to jump ship and come over to my former company and I can in some ways understand his need to protect his baby.

    I believe in being professional and lead with the utmost integrity and build people up and not by knocking people down. It's clear that not everyone plays on the same playing field, this is a shame.

    We are in the same industry and we need to build each other up and support everyone in this great industry.

    I wish everyone success and you don't have to throw sand in a persons face in the playground to play in this sandbox, especially if you want to make this industry great.

  • http://WePayBillsForYou.com/?tdblog Jah Kafele

    After all these years of supporting other people in other companies, and posting their links, I think you have a right, for once post the link of a relative.

    Vitel has open the doors for many of us that have gone through several companies to finally find a vehicle in which we could lock down and truly commit to helping those that want to succeed in this industry.

    We all know that very often it's not the first company you join that you succeed with, and so how can one fault a Brandon Ivey, or a Reginald Stinson, or anyone else that has struggle to prosper in this industry because they didn't find a home in other companies, with poor leadership at the top, amongst other things?

    Ben Sturtevant did well with Lightyear, enjoy it. However, don't hate on Vitel's success especially when the financial records of Lightyear would suggest that one could be building their mlm house on sand.

    I work closely with Brandon Ivey, whom I was fortunate to sponsor, and Reginald Stinson whom Brandon sponsored. I can vouch for these individuals and what they are doing to ensure that all that join Vitel have a chance to prosper.

    Troy you should be, as you are, proud to see that your Son joined a company that is turning out to be a premier company in the industry, in our category. People will ask you for advice and people to hook up with with when it comes to Vitel, you'd be a fool to refer them to anyone else.

    Vitel For Life!

  • Chris R

    I'm new to all this, and don't know any of the parties involved here. But I read the back and forth correspondence, and Ben Sturtevant, you have no manners. You were rude & condescending. There is no backstory to that. Period.

  • http://www.payme.vitelwireless.com Camille C

    @Troy, I can honestly say I have only watched you a few times, but you seem to be fair in your critique of various companies…….you comment on the good and the bad…..and that lends to being more credible than someone who speaks with an obvious bias…….

    @Brandon, I don't know you personally, but I admire your approach of not fighting fire with fire…….Lead by example….GREAT job.

    This is America and it's called freedom of choice. Leave negativity ALONE……..let's support each other….we are all working to improve life for ourselves and our family…..

    There is so much good in the worst of us and

    there is so much bad in the best of us, that it ill beholds

    any of us, to speak ill of the rest of us

    Vitel ROCKS………..

  • http://kellytolar.com Kelly Tolar

    Key here, join a leader that doesn't bash others. Join a leader that RESPECTS people. Join a leader that will help others, not just in their down line, but crossline. Join a team with a heart of gold. Ben sounds like he is disrespectful and let his ego get in the way. Being respectful of people's businesses is key. Troy your opinion matters to me. Reginald and Brandon yes have been in many companies and many of us have. (THESE MEN ARE TOP NOTCH) We have found a home with Vitel and will be respecting others. THIS IS ABOUT RESPECT. You disrespect others, you lose. I learned that in the military long time ago. I think Ben needs to go to bootcamp.

  • http://www.joincurtis.info Curtis Cross

    Troy, You did what any loving Father would do.. Support Your Son… We need more Fathers like you that support their children.. Alot of people are upset because Vitel is Different and they dont know how to express the fact that its a strong company and its Growing like never before.. Troy you are one of the people I look up to because you speak the truth. I also looked up to Ben and to see him Bash Leaders like Brandon and Reginald make me shake my head.. These are leaders that have taught me ALOT .. I only been in Vitel 74 days and I learned so much from them.. I hit NSE in 40 days and thats because Of leaders like Brandon and Reginald coaching me and encouraging me to Rock this Business. MR. BEN, we might be in different companies but we are still in the same industry, lets not give this industry a bad name, We should be encouraging everyone to stay focus and Build their business with integrity…

  • Ms Cori Yen-Diamond

    Vitel is an awesome company and Brandon and Reginal are awesome leaders. $2 Trillion c'mon there is enough for everyone to WIN!

    Troy you are a true leader we all no what you stand for

  • http://bobbyquick.com Bobby Quick

    Troy! i just started following you and have enjoyed you videos very much. as a newbie in MLM you have provided very good info and from what I've seen and heard you are right on the money my brother. Let the Haters be your motivators. I will continue to view all your videos and will continue to support you in this industry as one who just tells it like it is!! God Bless

  • Reginald Stinson

    It really saddens me to hear

    this coming from Ben, someone I admired and respected in this

    industry. Though we took different paths, I don't understand

    why we can't all get alone and support one another. There's more

    than enough room for all of us to continue to thrive.

    I'll be the first to tell you I've made some mistakes with my past

    failures in MLM. My intentions where always good and for the team of

    followers that viewed me as their leader. Bottom line, I want my team

    to win and we are winning here at Vitel. I got sick and tired of being

    the only one making money while my team members struggled. That's partially

    why I left those other companies because i couldn't sleep at night knowing

    someone is putting their trust in me and realistically they don't have a shot

    of success.

    Vitel has changed my life. I thank God, Scott Rogers, and the Vitel family for believing

    in me when no one else did. One thing I am not, nor will I ever be is fake. I've

    never lied about money or success to recruit anyone. Heck, I even got in trouble

    for showing my commission statements in previous companies lol.

    No need to do that here because we have a high standard here at Vitel and a mission

    to impact and transform as many lives as possible. Through all the hate, trials, and storms,

    we will continue to move forward with intergrity and give people HOPE who may have lost it

    in the industry because of slanderous remarks like this…

    I still wish Ben and Lightyear much success,

    • Troy Dooly

      @Reginald,

      I remember sitting in the back of the room and watching as you shared in Dallas. You did not share about you, but was praising your team! Lord knows this profession can be rough starting out and at times we either pick the wrong company or the companies just disappear and we move on.

      But the one thing that most of us realize, is through each company and along each step we have become a new person and better leader.

      Mistakes make us all stronger.

      Keep doing what you do best… serving your team.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

    What a ashamed that Ben acted like a kid. Well maybe a kid would be more mature.

  • http://www.ontrack2ride4free.com Crystal Williams of

    Well all I can say is this video is confirmation that Vitel Wireless is making a big difference.There is a saying that goes like this " If noone talking about you or your business then mostly your not suceeding"

    I am so thankfull for Vitel opportunity it has given me and my family a new hope finacially.

    My family has qualified in getting their bills paid and that alone has given them some relief financially.

    I pray for our leaders and I am proud to be under the leadership of PowerTeamMarketing.

    Thanks again Troy Dooley for handling this with so much professionalism.

  • http://i.runtofortune.com/ Ray Johnson

    Wow, it sounds like a slam fest. Why even insult someone's decisions and family like that. I am very excited about Vitel and I believe in the compensation plan. Regardless of where the residual income is coming from, you still will need a build your network. Why not build and give positive criticism, not insult the man's father and etc. I believe Brandon Ivey is great leader and I am learning more from him in 30 days in the business than I have learned from other "leaders" in the industry.

  • http://www.msvitelwireless.com Angela Jones- NSE

    Troy,

    You did it again. Thanks for standing up for our leaders at Vitel. You really do a great job in expressing yourself and keeping it real all across the board.

    I appreciate you giving Mr. Ben a piece of your mind. He absolutely deserved it. And I must say… NO I do not think you are wrong for showing some love to your son. And for those who have a problem with it. Tell them the "1st Lady of Vitel" said GO KICK ROCKS. They should have better things to do with there time, if not they need to get a life or sign up for Vitel and I'll give them some work to do… BecauseIf it was there son or daughter and they where in your position they would do it to and if they didn't SHAME ON THEM.

    This is Angela Jones Vitel Leader out of St. Louis Mo. signing off. HAVE A WONDERFUL VITEL DAY.

    Troy,

    I don't even know you that well yet but I did notice your honesty about your ideas and the business. I also noticed that I have seen you mention more than one company in this industry. The people that I do know of have spoken very highly of you and everybody can't be wrong.

    We all do what we must do to survive and support or families. Everyone is not always going to be pleased with our actions. With your help, so many people are becoming the great business entrepreneurs that they want to be. You are doing a great job! Don't let anyone tell you different. Keep up the great work!!!! :)

    Thank you Troy for sharing those kind words about Vitel. I don't believe that you have lost any credibility within the MLM profession. I appreciate Vitel and the leaders that we have such as Brandon and Reginald they are men of integrity and this is what I love about Vitel because we have the support and training that we need to achieve success within the business. I wouldn't want to go to any other company but Vitel. I thank God for Vitel because I am on the road to great success and seeing my dreams come to pass.

    It is a shame that some people have to bash others. ViTel is an awesome company. Brandon and Reginald are great leaders. I joined ViTel because it offers a peace of mind. It is a great feeling to know that I have an opportunity of a life time to offer others. ViTel is paying people's bills.

Brandon and Reginald, beside what Vitel has to offer are the reason that I love Vitel so much..The fact that they give us so much support on our team group is outstanding…I am a person who asks a lot of questions however Before I can ask them they have already answered them on the team Group. You tell me that Reginald has been in a lot of companies. Well that only shows me that he made the mistake and knows what works and what does not and that I would definitely learn tremendously for this person…And as for Troy He is is the face of integrity. In his Blogs He remains totally transparent to his viewers. You cannot get any better than that. Thank you for your MLM Knowledge and inspiration Mr Dooley. I have certainly learned a lot from you. Hate i missed you in Texas. And to Ben May God Bless you..Thank for putting Our wonderful Leaders in the Lime Light . Now The world will know How great an opportunity Vitel is and What A Wonderful World Power Team Marketing is……If you are not yet on this Vi-Tel Train , You need to come aboard.. God bless!!

    Why do we have to be a nation of hate!! We as parents teach or should teach our kids love and that we will support them at what they chose to do in life!! Troy thanks for being a dad and lifting up your child!!! To Brandon and Reginald well I was always told that when you start to prosper in life there will be someone trying to steal your joy!!! I pray that you know where your joy comes from and don't stray from the source!!!! All great leaders have faults , so who are we to throw stones?

  • http://www.getyourbillsforfree.com Angel Cruz

    To answer your question Troy, Absolutely NOT!! It does not take credibility from what you are doing here and what you bring to MLM. From the first video I seen about Vitel, you always mentioned your son being with Vitel. Nothing to hide at all. I can totally appreciate that! I chose Vitel because of the leadership within the company and CEO Scott Rogers is a great visionary. I have had success in network marketing and I was careful on who I was going to go with this go around. Very happy and fortunate to be with this Company.. Keep up the great work Mr Dooly!!

  • Dennis Collins

    Hey Troy thanks for everything you has done for Network marketing/MLM. If you didn't post the video on youtube about Vitel a few month i wouldn't join at that time.

    And i would like to thank ALL the leadership in the company with all the support they have shown me with building my business.

    Thank You

    Vitel makes it possible

    Troy,

    I have been involved in the industry as a rep,consultant, investor and owner.

    You are one of the top ambassadors for our industry in the world.

    You have been a great source of knowledge, wisdom and information for me and countless others.

    Keep up the GREAT work brother!

      @Michael,

      Thank you my friend!!!

  • http://www.needrepstoday.com Janelle McLeod

    Troy, how are you? I've been in this field (network marketing / MLM) since 2005 and shameful enough to say I've NEVER personally heard about you.. Let me honest and clear here, NOW that I am on board with Vitel and positioned with some POWERFUL leaders (i.e. Brandon Ivy and Regionald Stinson which they are both my uplines direct 1 and 2 levels) now these 2 amazing guys are positioning me correctly on where I need to be in this industry especially with Vitel… This is to show you that my past and previous companies did not really share much success with me etc.. But these to gentlemen, they are truly helping me (personally) every single step of the way and again directed me to get to know more about MLM and what you're business is all about!! I absolutely LOVE everything you've stated in the video, and you're right on point. I am not sure why this guy ben is say such things and in this industry you're not to bash others. You're to respect each other… We are in the relationship, branding, and friendship business and I have much respect for you all before here and now!!!

    I've been on board with Vitel Wireless since 05/01/12 and this company has been nothing but a serious blessing! Not only was I personally able to make a paycheck, but vitel has paid a few of my bills FREE for me too!! Straight out of their pockets!! business network marketer that you are, you know that documentation beats conversation right? Well here's some proof I LOVE to document to show people this is real!!!

    In this video I share how vitel paid my cellphone: http://youtu.be/cMb4q4lwp_Y

    In this video I share how Vitel gave me back my business over head: http://youtu.be/WYzE_4M0QQc

    In this photo I shared the recent that my cellphone was paid straight up! : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4681698731… I've personally struggled with other companies and always having to spend tons of money to make it work!! Man, NO LIE! With Vitel not only do I have to spend almost ZERO but this company paid a few bills for me too!!! Right away I got to work! I just knew TONS of people that can benefit from getting their bills paid too!! And make a paycheck of course… So just less than 2 months of being on board I worked my tail off (having fun too LOL) got got promoted from: Marketing Rep, Team Leader, Area Sales Manager, to NOW Regional Sales Manager as we type and I am almost very very close (this month August) to hit the highest level National Sales Executive level all just by reaching out and sharing what a wonderful company and blessing this is.

    I really enjoyed getting to know you hear by browsing around your site. I am forever looking forward to getting to know you more (with your future contents etc.) Thank you Troy for keeping it real as always!!!

    You inspire me!

    Troy you are a superstar! You help business owners every day. Vitel is an incredible opportunity! I may not have been a part of the Vitel family long, but I have been in Direct Sales for years. I have never seen a company that has a mission to help others find financial freedom and pay their bills! Everyone in Vitel is so helpful and want to you to succeed. The business education and personal development coaching that I am receiving in Vitel is priceless.

    Troy shake off the haters and let you star keep shining!

  • Darrell Houston

    Everyone should support there family, so yes Troy you should support your son in what ever he dose. Sometimes family is all we have, and that's why I joined Vitel because I wont to support my family, and Vitel makes it possible

  • http://www.fullyfocused.myvitel.com Nathaniel Hash

    This is all positive news for Vitel. Just means that Vitel is doing things RIGHT, which is the main reason I joined the opportunity. Its more than just your average mobile phone company but a full benefit network that will pay over $15,000/yr on your household bills. Unheard of in the industry all while Vitel is not making people change anything that they already have & have been doing.

    Usually, personal attacks on leadership are just signs of feeling threatened. So, that's just validation of my making the right decision.

    I'd like to also add that I GREATLY appreciate the leadership development from the Vitel team. Specifically, Brandon Ivey & Reginald Stinson.

  • Bryan K. Spencer

    Excellent video. I believe the comments shared on this site by Brandon and Reginald, as compared to the comments made by Mr. Sturtevant say it all. It would have been very easy to respond negatively, as many would have and would have felt justified in doing so, because of the personal attacks on them. Instead, they both responded with respect for Mr. Sturtevant and the success he's had in this industry and for the people he has helped. THAT'S LEADERSHIP!!!! Life is not about what happens to you, but it is about how you respond. I thank God for Brandon and his leadership. Keep doing what you do, and that is serving the people.

  • http://www.WePayYourMonthlyBills.com Eric Colby

    I joined Vitel for what they offered me. The chance to pay my bills. The leadership is better than any than any company that I have ever seen. I have been in a few MLM and have done ok and failed due to the lack of leadership. The leaders in Vitel has taught me to look at this in a whole new way.It is full of awesome people. I am new and doing ok. But I have learned so much from the leadership I am truly developing my leadership skills. The money will come. Vitel is a awesome company. I will see you all at the top. God Bless!

  • Leslie Myers

    Brandon, Reginald, Troy…you men are amazing and I am truly greatful that I am in a place where your knowledge creates such positive emotion. This negative attempt to belittle has shown all that ViTel equals Integrity at its higest. The leaders and the many soon to be leaders are all reaching for one thing, THE TOP…and we're on the way!! Thank you Troy Dooly. Not only does truth hurt, its sets you free. Financially and with a piece of mind.

  • http://chosentoworkfromhome.info Yvette Neal

    I am a mother of two teenagers and one adult child who made a decision 19 years ago to stay at home with them in order to actively raise them instead of allowing the world to do it for me. I have been looking for the company that would be a perfect fit for me but I have not been able to do that until I found Vitel 5 days ago.

    So many companies made promises to me about making lots of money by asking me to put up a great deal of money first in order to become financial free. I had almost given up until I walked out of Jewel and saw a post card that said Earn $400-$500 Weekly Part-Time And Get Your Bills Paid By Us.

    I had never seen that before but that is exactly what I needed rather than being asked to take away from my bill money to keep my business afloat which made absolutely no sense at all. Just last month, I was being pressured to go to a convention at the same time that Com Ed was about to shut my electricity off. All the while being told to just hold on your residual will kick in after July. I was sinking fast until Vitel threw me the life preserver.

    So I am a woman on a mission. It may have taken me 19 years to find a REAL company but I am better prepared to handle this REAL company because of all the challenges that I have gone thru with ones that were not a perfect fit for me. Thank You Vitel

  • http://www.jointhemkgroupsite.com Mark Everhart

    Troy, I want to start off by saying you are exactly like what ever father should be, a real father who stands up for their children. I think there needs to be a whole lot more just like you. I would absolutely do the same for my son.

    Just spending the 2 days with you in Dallas getting to know who Troy Dooly is was awesome. I hate to see when a top leader of another MLM company has to step out and try discredit other leaders, i have seen that before. They go on a smash campaign and really hurt themselves and that company. Brandon Ivey and Reginald Stinson are true leaders and have taught me a whole lot about this Industry. Sure we are all human and going to make mistakes, but try to deliberately speak openly to discredit them is wrong.

    I absolutely love your blogs because you speak the truth and I applaud your comments and to keep real leaders honest. I have been with Vitel for about 54 days and absolutely love every minute of it. They are paying my BILLS!!! This is a company that was truly built for reps to change their lives.

  • http://www.billterminator.biz Pam Peoples

    Troy,

    I've watched several of your videos and I have to say that you always have been fair in your comments of MLM companies. I know that Brandon and Reginald are great leaders in Vitel, which is truly a company that is about people helping people. I have a son, and would do the same for him that you have done for yours. Be proud of yourself for supporting your son in what he does. Keep on with the outstanding videos!

  • http://www.jump2success.info Waleed Abdul-Qawiy

    Great Video Troy! I have not met you personaly but I look forward to that day. The leadership at Vitel has been unmatched. I not only partnered with Vitel because of the leadership but also the fact that Vitel is a company helping people in a down economy. The Wireless business has been proven to be a recession proof industry and there is room for all of us in the network Marketing Industry to grow. Hopefully we all can get pass this distraction and get back to doing what's most important to us all. Building Wealth and helping others do the same.

  • http://extraincomenowtoday.com Coach Darren

    After serving this great nation for 20 years in the United States Army I live by this statement leaders lead by positive actions. As a leader in Vitel one of my goals is to always be positive.

    I want to ensure I do this not just for me but for my team and for the company because I am a reflection of them both. There are many great companies in the network marketing industry, and many great leaders.

    Many of us have found our home with Vitel and we all loving it! Troy you also love what you see with Vitel as well and shared it with your son. This is you website and you have the right to promote any link you want.

    I wish Ben continued success in his company and all Vitel leaders continued success as we focus on helping people save money and make money in a tough economy! Vitel business owners will remain focus and positive as we Inspire, Motivate, and Train the world about this great opportunity.

    I only have a couple of things to say.

    1) Grandma always told me "Sugar, when you throw dirt, you lose ground" and Grandma does not lie.

    2) This is a poem I read everyday and would like to share it with you.

    Anyway (Mother Theresa's Wall)

    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

    Forgive them anyway.

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

    Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

    Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

    Be honest and frank anyway.

    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

    Build anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

    Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

    Do good anyway.

    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

    Give the world the best you've got anyway.

    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

    It was never between you and them anyway.

    Well, am I missing something here? All great men Valor! Would I be wrong, if I was Dean of one College, to recommend my son attend another college, if it was considered fitting for him?

    Where would I have gone wrong? The MLM business levels the playing field for all who wish to succeed. It is a proving ground for those who feel like they have what it takes to win and for those who need a chance, or for those who feel they would like an opportunity to play in another arena.

    I was shocked to see this attack on the credibility of Mr. Dooly who has been so well respected in the MLM industry for his unbiased reporting.

    I am confident as well of the integrity of our leaders Mr. Brandon Ivey and Mr. Reginald Stinson. These leaders have assisted this Vitel team through trainings, presentations, marketing and more.

    Never have I had this much support in building my business. I can assure you that the checks are nice and some of my bills are being paid in addition to the bonuses and commissions that Vitel pays.

    Also, since when does a father not support his son?! I support my children. That is the way it should be.

  • http://www.thevitelnetwork.com Otis Corbett

    Troy, I have followed you for years. You have always been and will always be the go to guy to get information about a network marketing company. Your integrity and straight forward honesty about a company, good or bad, is the reason so many individuals come to the mlmhelpdesk, because they know they can always count on you to tell it like it is. Brandon Ivey and Reginald Stinson both have represented themselves and Vitel in a very professional manner. They definitely practice the T.E.A.M. concept. (Together Everyone Achieves More)

    Vitel Makes It Possible!

  • http://www.Profit4life.myvitel.com Darrin Pia

    Troy,

    I look forward to the day I get to meet you, I am fairly new to the MLM industry but I have always known of its existence.

    Sense I have joined Vitel, which I find to be a remarkable business concept, I have read several books. Books informing how to prosper in MLM, what the MLM industry is all about and the self growth that one learns from helping others. The leadership qualities it takes to grow a strong team for all to accomplish his/her goals.

    The greatest thing I have learned about network marketing and the thousands of companies that are in this industry. Is we are all in one giant ship trying to reach our own individual destiny. It doesn’t matter what company you are with as long as you believe in the product or services you are selling you will be successful. I have several friends that are in Visalus, Limu, Mary Kay, 31 and others that there is never any bashing or slander being tossed around.

    That to me is what really draws me to this industry. One can go out, do some hard work and change their financial future with out worrying about the competition. It is the single most profitable ways for an average person to reach their goals in today economy. Why there are so many people that still have no idea about it, to skeptics is something we all, everybody in MLM, will change one day.

    I have not had the honor of meeting Brandon Ivey or Reginald Stinson yet. I have heard them speak on conference calls and webinars. Their leadership quality is top notch. They know what they want and know what it takes to get it and they do what it takes. They lead others, teach others how to lead and set a great example for others to follow.

    As far as you linking your sons name to Vitel and you losing your creditability over it, is kind of comical. This is no different then me telling the High school baseball coach what a great player my son is and how valuable he would be to the team. Or even driving around with those bumper stickers that say “My son is an honor student at_________ school.” You have done nothing wrong and have lost no creditability. If anything the shoe is on the other foot in this situation.

    Vitel is a remarkable company with amazing leadership. The pay plan is out of this world. Scott Rogers and his team have a vision that is going to take this company strait to the top. I have no doubt in my mind that this company will be huge and with the excitement from the reps getting their household bills paid. A long with building a residual income and earning commission on top. This company is building like a tsunami deep out in sea and is swelling as it reaches closer to land. The tidal wave is come folks.

    Keep up the great work Troy you are of great value to us all!!!

  • http://www.lywireless.com Ben Sturtevant

    You know Troy, I'm a little taken back that you didn't reach out to me directly before posting this. Unfortunately you've left out quite a bit.

    1. You failed to mention that my opinions were expressed in an email only AFTER your son asked me why I wouldn't join Vitel. This was NOT a public post. This was NOT an attempt to bash Vitel. He asked why and I told him. In that email (which I'll gladly share) he suggests that I go to mlmhelpdesk to learn about Vitel and their great reputation. My reply back to him was that in regards to VITEL Troy Dooly's opinion has lost all credibility.

    I'm sorry but I do not think that what you did for Jim Bartlett is the same thing. Why? Because you had no relationship with Jim. I would have no problem with you posting a link to Brandon Ivey's site. That would have been the same as you posting Jim's. But when you have a loved one – your son no less that does create a conflict of interest, I'm sorry but that's my opinion.

    2. My opinion of Brandon Ivey and Reginald Stinson are from my own personal experience. First of all Mr. Ivey took it upon HIMSELF to create a comparison video where he personally tells people why Vitel is better than Lightyear. That video was not in response to any that Lightyear created, simply him attempting to recruit Lightyear reps. Then he and his team have been very aggressive in recruiting Lightyear reps. Bob Ullman and Reginald Stinson were both Lightyear reps. Not leaders in Lightyear by any means but the were nonetheless. Does Richard's memo apply to them as well or only me?

    Reginald Stinson has been in every MLM wireless deal you can imagine and each time he jumps from one he attempts to recruit Lightyear reps. He did it with WOW, Global Verge, Vitel, etc. So yes, I do have grounds to base my opinion of them. But you know what Troy, I didn't do that in public. I didn't post my opinions on a forum. In a private email where only 1 person was reading it (after they asked for my opinion) you'd think that would stay private. I guess not.

    So since you didn't bother to reach out to me and ask for my opinion before blasting my integrity, I guess this will have to suffice.

    I do not offer any apologies for my opinions. I feel I'm entitled to them and that they are based on experiences that have significant merit. Everyone else can think what

    they want but I know where I stand.

    If you'd like to chat Troy give me a call!

    • Troy Dooly

      @Ben,

      First let me say thank you for taking time to respond.

      Had you did not come to me privately, you send an email with no disclaimer on privacy and questioned my ethics, and credibility, then slandered two people you have seemly never met. This is no different that what Randy Schroeder and Dr. Keith Laggos did in the last two weeks, and I called them both out publicly also. As a community we can't allow the continual slander, lies, hype and propaganda to continue. We must Unite Together, and support each other no matter what company we represent. We Are Network Marketing!

      1. I shared the emails in the post above. a. you opted-in to the system. b. Josh picked up the phone and called the number (wrong number), you wasted his time, and I am sure your time is very valuable, so to totally disrespect someones else s time is not cool, c. you respond in your real name, d. you write a small email talking about how you found a better company, a subliminal way, to get a person to ask you… what is it (great marketing style though) e. Josh responds in a professional manner and made the suggestion, you might want to check it the company in this community. f. Then you respond with a nasty, slanderous response. It is the last email you sent back that this post is all about.

      No one is questions the series of events. Ben you are missing the issue. You bashed three people, one who supports you (if you look at the last comment you posted here, I responded and asked for new and curent info for a new series on Lightyear, and you never sent it or responded), and two you have never met. This is wrong… This isn't opinion, it is called slander. Not towards me, but the things you stated against the other two men.

      Ben, here is another fact you got wrong. Bartlett and I are like brothers. I have supported Jim Bartlett since his very first days in Network Marketing. We have broke bread together, cried together, and laughed together. We have yelled at each other, and I have called him on the carpet just like I called you and others on the carpet. Brandon and I are just getting to know each other. Bartlett and I have been friends for close to two decades.

      Ben the conflict of interest comes when a person doesn't disclose the relationship one has in a situation. From day one I make it clear in each post, if I am linking to a friend or family member. There is no conflict of interest. Network Marketing is about promoting your friends and family. I am very clear on how I feel about this, and have done several editorials and dozens of radio shows on this very issue. I respect you can believe there is a conflict I deal with that crap daily.

      But, for you to slander two men you have never met, to someone else you have never met, shows the world, that there is an issue. Everyone building an organization in network marketing and even the company founders of most companies are all after the same end game… To change the legacy of their families, be it economic, health and nutrition or personal development. For you to belittle anyone else for personal gain or any other reason, when you do not know them, and do not back up your claims with facts, is both irresponsible and leaves you and Lightyear open for civil legal action. It is this very action that was in part the reason MonaVie and Amway were in a lawsuit for so many years.

      2. Ben you live in America, you are entitled to you opinion, and I gladly allow everyone to share their opinions here in the community. But, what you stated was slanderous, not opinion. No where did you state "in my opinion" based on linguistics what you did was "state a fact". Where as they may be your "reality" they may not be facts.

      I can even understand if you have lost reps to ViTel you would be frustrated. But in that case, you are entitled to create a comparison video refuting Brandon's video. Vemma, compares MonaVie, ViSalus creates a video comparing Hebalife, reps move form company to company. If the facts are wrong, then legal from both companies should contact the other and clean up the facts.

      But at no time do you, me or anyone without documented facts, slander any other person or company. This is irresponsible, reckless, and harms both the profession and the people who are working to make their dreams come true.

      When folks are tried to slam Lightyear Wireless for being part of a company that has not seen an annual profit in decades, I do not stand by and let just half the facts roll through. I dig into the financials and we talk about why a loss is taking place. Or like this week I shoot a video and share how Lightyear Wireless was the one division that is helping to generate the cashflow while the company continues to drive forward towards profitability.

      Ben, there is a difference from opinions, and slander.

      Richard's Memorandum applies to us ALL. In any of the videos you are tlaking about (I have not seen them, please shoot me an email with them), do they slander you, Ron, Michael or anyone else in Lightyear? If they do then I will be on the phone with Scott Rogers and will be shooting a video and writing an editorial of why it is unethical.

      There is not anything wrong with stating someone has been in several companies. As I mentioned in the video Corey Citron was in over 20 companies before finding his first home at LFI, then he went on to great success at XanGo, then co-founded Yoli. In the late 20th Century till now, the internet has caused many folks to jump in and out of companies. But, do you know and have documentation that it has been 50 companies?

      Again, your frustration revolves around former Lightyear reps, targeting other former or current lightyear reps. Now this can become a sticky situation without a doubt. If these guys, were going down past their personals then we have a cross-recruiting situation. However, if they were never leader, did not have a large organization or after being out over six months are now looking for reps and Lightyear just happens to have the best trained of all the wireless companies left, then this is called business.

      If a cross-recruiting issue was documented, it would seem Ron would have already sent legal after these guys. Has this happened?

      Ben, you and I both know email is not private. :) Just read the news! Now you might in the future want to place a legal disclaimer at the bottom of the email to help deter anyone spreading the email around. But even that might not hold up in a court of law.

      3. I did not question your integrity. I asked a question to the public about you stating a fact "I had lost my whole credibility". Now I did question your credibility based on several facts.

      1. You used fake information causing a person to waste their valuable time.

      2. You possibility slander two other networkers who, like you are working aggressively to build their business.

      3. You stated and spread facts through an email to someone you did not know personally.

      So again this is not about me, it is about building the community of network marketing through the best business practices we can possibly develop.

      I will continue to promote you as a top income earner in network marketing, and as the go to guy at Lightyear. But I will warn people that if they get crosswise with you, that you might possibly slander them and call it "your opinion".

      In my opinion, what you did was irresponsible, because you did not provide any documented proof that either of these guys have propagated false in formation about their earning, or success in network marketing.

      Ben, I have heard both of these guys in public, talk about struggling financially for years inside of network marketing… current years, less than 24 months ago. I have never heard them (provide me the facts if you have them) stating income claims that are not true.

      Even not in your response, you have not provided any documented facts of unethical behavior, or any legal action by any company for unethical business practices. If you provide I will verify and report on it.

      Again, thank you for taking time to address this publicly. Your response does show you are willing to defend your position, and that I can respect 100%.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

        As I've stated to you in a personal email my comments were not an open attack on Vitel or Ivey and Stinson. Neither of them (nor anyone) would have ever heard about this if it hadn't been for you. So I don't see how you can call my opinion in a private email "slander" when it wasn't done in an open forum. That was your doing.

        As for my grounds for my opinion of them. Mr. Ivey has been very aggressive in going after my downline. For those of you reading this that have ever spent time building a real organization you know what it feels like to have people attempting to raid your downline. I can post many emails where Mr. Ivey makes specific reference to the number of Lightyear reps that are joining his team. He has specifically created videos to bash Lightyear and continues to do so. So excuse me if I don't hold a high opinion of him.

        As for Mr. Stinson. Reginald joined Lightyear in the early days of wireless. Then he joined Global Verge. Then he joined WOW. Then he joined Panther. Then he came back to Lightyear. Then something else, then Vitel. I have no problem with people "finding their way" and going through bumps and bruises to find a good company. But going and attacking Lightyear when you join each company and attempting to recruit the people that weren't even in your downline is not okay with me. So yes, I have grounds for my opinion of Mr. Stinson.

        That isn't slander. That's a personal opinion of someone who has direct and personal interaction with people.

        My opinion of your loss of credibility with me has grounds too. I do feel it's a conflict of interest for you to be feeding leads to your own son. Why? Because he's your son. When you feed leads to a leader you have a relationship with that's fine. Why? Because you don't have a family relationship with that person. Why does your opinion of Vitel lose credibility with me? Because how can you honestly give an unbiased review of it when you're indirectly connected to it? I mean, if your son hadn't sent you my email (in response to his by the way) then you never would have even been involved in this. How can you stand there and say it's the same thing as passing leads on to Jim Bartlett just because you were "like brothers?" That's not the same thing at all. The same thing would have been to pass leads on to Brand Ivey – since you respect him as such a great leader. There would have been no conflict of interest because he isn't part of your family.

        As for opting into Josh's site with fake information. You're darn right I did. When I say you posting a link as a referral to a Vitel site I was shocked. I thought, "Did Troy join Vitel?" So I put in fake information to get to the other side to see who it was. People do this all the time, not as a way to mess with people or waste their time (really Troy, I wasted his time because he spent 10 seconds to dial a phone number) but rather to see what's on the other side. There was no way I was going to put my personal info in there and have Vitel people saying, "See Ben Sturtevant wants to join Vitel." I was simply trying to see who you were feeding your leads to. And yes, I was shocked that you put your son in the business and were feeding him leads. But if you look back at the email correspondence I had with your son there was no devious plan to recruit him. When he reached out to me I replied back that I was no longer interested. He then reached out to me again asking why. I simply told him. He then replied again and I replied back. I didn't opt in pretending to be a lead to then turn around and get him into Lightyear and you know it, you've seen the emails.

        So I think it's a little unfair for you to put all of this out in public when no such thing has ever been done by me towards you and these other two. Believe me, if I wanted to get into a Vitel bashing it could be done. But I didn't stoop to their level. There have been many times where I've wanted to call out their half truths but I didn't. There have been many times when I wanted to bash Mr. Ivey. But instead of doing that, you know what I did? I reached out to him personally and addressed my issues with him. I've also done the same with Reginald in the past when he was cross recruiting Lightyear reps. Unfortunately you took information out of context and posted it here. The result is what you see. All you had to do was pick up the phone and call me. It's funny how you always accuse people for not doing the same with you.

        • Troy Dooly

          @Ben,

          Once again thank you for taking time to respond. Again it shows your leadership style. It also allows both sides to be out in the open.

          Ben, I respect the fact you have your opinion, and that we will more than likely never see eye-to-eye on this issue.

        =====>Now, Now…Boys and Girls! Let Us ALL Play Nice!!!

        Seriously, first of all I would like to say UPFRONT that I am the No. 1 TOP DIRECT out of ALL the 300 PLUS people Ben has personally sponsored in Lightyear Wireless, with over 13,000 Representatives in MY DOWNLINE as of TODAY!

        So INITIALLY, you might THINK what I am about to say about Ben is going to be really biased.

        Here Is What This Situation Is REALLY All About, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:

        Everyone can make MISTAKES when email communication is supposed to be for private eyes only. Have you ever heard of THE PRESIDENT saying something embarassing on a mic that he THOUGHT was TURNED OFF?

        Surely that is what happened here to Ben and it could have happened the exact same way to ANY of us!

        Does that mean perhaps a lapse in judgement is a reflection on Ben’s ENTIRE CAREER in this industry? Of course it does not!

        ===>Should Ben have use better judgment in his email? Maybe so.

        ===>Should Josh not have taken his comments so personal? Maybe so.

        ===>Should Troy have realized the sensitive nature of the FAMILY link? Maybe so.

        Troy made the BEST point in his video that WE ALL, as an industry, are better served when WE ALL work together as ONE by focusing on HELPING the public JOIN OUR INDUSTRY as a whole.

        In MY opinion Lightyear Wireless offers one of the BEST income opportunities in this GREAT industry that we all have learned to love!

        Vitel Wireless has the makings of a GREAT start up company.

        Is it fair to compare a 20 year old opportunity like Lightyear Network Solutions, who founded Lightyear Wireless in 2008, to a company that has NOT BEEN PROVEN by the ALMIGHTY test of time, YET? Hardly!

        But, here again, the ROUTE to prosperity a person CHOOSES, should not be a reason to be CALLED OUT…even if it appears to YOU, that they are behaving unethically!

        Eventually, a person’s BEHAVIOR and REPUTATION, either GOOD or BAD, will have a tendacy of CATCHING UP WITH THEM! Especially, on the internet!

        I signed up under Ben from a Google search link back in 2010. Amazingly, the FIRST person in Lightyear I contacted, Troy’s personal friend and a downline Rep of Ben, was Jim Bartlett who never RETURNED any of my email inquiries.

        If I had been searching online for a WIRELESS MLM business TODAY, I could have just as easily signed up under Josh, Brandon, or Reginald. Surely, you can see from that just how online sponsoring works, right?

        My START UP experience In Lightyear Wireless proves that there are enough SINCERE ONLINE INCOME SEEKERS out there for ALL of us to be JUST ONE CLICK AWAY from becoming tremendously successful, no matter what MLM Company we are in!

        Has Ben and I always seen things EYE TO EYE? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

        We are both MEN, and we are both human! But, there could NEVER have been anything that came between us that would have given me the RIGHT to CALL HIM OUT in a public forum like this.

        Like he said, if there was such a PERSONAL issue, I would have CALLED HIM on the telephone and talked to HIM about it man to man!

        Heck, we never even had a reason to have the FIRST telephone conversation in nearly the first 3 YEARS we gave been business partners, and surely he’s already made MILLIONS from my downline!

        But, the ONE thing I can say is, obviously Ben has a PASSION for Lightyear Wireless! Does his passion get him in trouble sometimes? Maybe so.

        Just as it would for every one of us in this industry if WE feel our PRIMARY source of lifestyle changing income is being UNFAIRLY threatened by a NEW KID ON THE BLOCK!

        Guys, TODAY there is enough opportunity in this industry for ALL OF US who are ACTIVELY ADVERTISING to build our Team to become independently WEALTHY TONIGHT!

        People everywhere, and especially in the Country we all love, are hurting and what they all NEED right now is REAL LEADERSHIP!

        What they DO NOT need to see in their due diligence decision making process, is a bunch of back and forth NEGATIVE comments about each other and each other’s Company.

        All that will do is simply CONFUSE the newbies WE are ALL looking to SERVE!

        There is no place here on this forum, or anyplace else in the industry for PUBLIC jeaslously, envy, or back-bitting!

        You never know, at some point in the FUTURE, any one of us may end up in each other’s downline in a WHOLE DIFFERENT COMPANY!

        So, why not just as easily always try to use PROFESSIONALISM in dealing with each other?

        As far as Ben having TRUE Leadership and TRUE Integrity…from MY intimate point of view, I would emphatically say, YES he definitely HAS BOTH. There is NO DOUBT about it, and here’s DOUBLE PROOF!

        Right now, his downline has been PRIMAILY responsible for the vast majority of the GROWTH in Lightyear Wireless since HE joined in 2008!

        So, no one can QUESTION his REAL downline building Leadership skills!

        Does that mean that Ben is a god that has done EVERYTHING RIGHT all the time, without making any mistakes in my opinion? NO! But, here again THAT’s MY OPINION, and NONE of us has done EVERYTHING RIGHT in building our business and income.

        If that were the case, we ALL would be MULTI-MILLIONAIRES by now, right? :}

        As far as his INTEGRITY as a Leader in Lightyear Wireless, TRUST ME, with over 13,000 Lightyear Wireless Representatives just in MY DOWNLINE because Ben HELPED ME sponsor the NEW NO 1 Top Income Earner in Lightyear Wireless on my second level, there is NO QUESTION ABOUT his INTEGRITY!

        Why not?

        I have never even TALKED to the NEW No1 TOP INCOME GUY, and over the last 2+ years, he has strictly been working with BEN, not me, not his direct Sponsor 100 percent of that time.

        Ben even HELPED the guy to OVERCOME HIM at the No1 Top Income Spot which would COST HIM millions of FUTURE CODING BONUS dollars by him catching up to Ben at the TOP Presidential Director level.

        Also, Ben could have just as EASILY KEPT this Guy for himself as one of his OWN DIRECTS and his direct Sponsor and I would have been TOTALLY LEFT OUT of most of those 13,000 downline Rep’s RESIDUAL INCOME from their Customers MASSIVE MONTHLY wireless service payments.

        So, if any one can honestly testify to the Leadership and Integrity of Ben in this forum with indisputable PROOF, certainly it WOULD BE ME!

        Let’s ALL Just Keep Advertising, Advertising and Advertising…These PEOPLE Need ALL OF US and our respective Companies!

        Curtis

    • Reginald Stinson

      Here's what really bothers me about this entire situation. Every time the heat is on Lightyear, there's panic on your part. I'm not going through a Lightyear rep database trying to recruit your reps. A lot of them come to me and are my friends that have worked with me prior. I never ever joined WOW Mobile FYI…

      Speaking of Brandon comparison video of Lightyear, let's be honest here, we all do the same thing. Here's proof! You created a comparison against ACN here http://www.homebizcomparison.com/ACN/ACNtoLYAside…

      and FHTM here http://www.homebizcomparison.com/

      I'm sure you weren't offering coaching to those ACN and FHTM reps you signed up using these pages. This is apart of marketing my friend and smart marketers do it to show prospects there's other options available.

      About my past, no I can't change that, nor am I ashamed of it. My past has made me who I am today. So as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter what I did in 2009, what matters is who I am today and where I am going.

      • http://www.live1dream.com Brandon Ivey

        You are absolutely correct Reginald. Not once have I ever personally contacted any rep in Lightyear. I get phone calls from them when they go to Youtube, watch my videos and give me a call. I hardly call that "Aggressively going after Lightyear reps."

        My comparison video actually uses Ben's own website and presentation so that I cannot be accused of making up information or telling half truths. As a matter of fact I praise Lightyear in the video and just come to the conclusion that Vitel has a better marketing plan. Here is the video and you be the judge.

  • http://tpagolf.com Doug

    Troy, YOU define credibility. Ben is an arrogant, self serving pretender. I have been in his downline with LTY for nearly 3 yrs, and when I was doing well – recruiting and being promoted to VP, Ben was all fun and games. But when my group started to fall apart, where was Ben? Nowhere to be found. When I sent him suggestions on how LTY could improve – I never received an answer or a comment. But the minute I got involved with another MLM – which does not compete with LTY – He was quick to slam me for cross recruiting and even had LTY send me a letter of cease and desist or I would be kicked out. (hard to be upset about being kicked out of a company that I no longer earn ANYTHING with)

    Troy, all of Ben's pictures show him in front of a beautiful home or high priced auto. He is a pretender – not a contender. The face of LTY looks more like the rear end of a donkey.

    Keep up the good work –

    • http://www.lywireless.com Ben Sturtevant

      If this is the same Doug I think it is then all I have to say is wow. It's funny how quickly people forget how hard they worked with their upline – you know the position you bought. You know how many calls I did with those guys? Do you remember me coming to your home town? Do you remember me feeding you a local lead? Wow. Oh well, I guess I'm not surprised.

  • Kerry George

    Troy want to thank you for always no matter what someone says or does in a company you report the good the bad and the ugly. And some times you points are hard to shallow when your on the other teams side on the outside looking in.

    But thanks to this website and your hardcore reporting it has always saved me from going down the wrong road when looking for a true home in the mlm industry which is where I will live and die as a professional in this industry.

    Reginald Stinson is a good friend of mine that was crossline with me in a good company way back that made some wrong business decisions and because of the power of this industry we have stay friends outside of mlm and even though over there years I have not joined all the things he has shared. The true wake up call came when i finally took a look at vitel 3 months later from a autoresponder message from reginald talking about a upcoming webinar!

    I was batter and beat up after the wireless wars. Thought i would hope on the affiliate band wagon and try and ride multipule horses with one butt, I was so scattered and have never been in so many programs in the last 24 months, lost focus, stop personal development and was going no where fast if i did'nt wake up and smell the real coffee.

    This is what vitel has brought back to me a fire and passion for the mlm like i never had before, the leadership at the top in vitel with no back stabbing just uplifting people. Personal Development is back on track in my mind and heart to Reginald Stinson, Brandon, Chris, Ebony, Curtis and many more people outside of vitel dani johnson, troy dooly, todd f. I may not have risen to my true greatness in the past but Vitel leadership has shown me a simple walmart type concept that I know I will be able to truly bless people with this program.

    I now ride ONE HORSE and taken only one lady to the dance and her name is VITEL!

    I wish everyone finds there true home and just work it till the wheels fall off!

    @Troy, While I do not know the parties involved – 1 thing that is very clear is that Ben's attempt at trashing your credibility has completely back fired.

    You have always been extremely transparent in your position with any company and a parent is most definitely entitled to promote their own child with openness and pride.

    I can't imagine what he thought he was going to accomplish having such a conversation with your son.

    Troy,

    There is nothing wrong with supporting your son's decisions in his life. I do not see where that makes you biased towards a particular company, it just makes you a proud father that wants to tell about his son's success. Nothing wrong with that at all.

    I have been a Platinum Sale Executive with ViTel for almost a month now. Who are the leaders that I am attempting to model myself like? Brandon Ivey, Reginald Stinson and Curtis Cross. These three leaders put themselves out there for all of us. I have had email and text conversations with all three of these gentlemen and they are truly LEADERS! I can't even see how another person can come out and say things like he did regarding Brandon and Reginald. All I can think is that he feels threatened by the rising of ViTel and he lashed out.

    ViTel is an amazing company and I am glad I am onboard with them! Seeing responses like that from other leading MLM companies make me glad I decided to join ViTel instead of their company!

    Great job of standing on the bibilical principals of God. You are right when you say that treat people the way that we want to be treated. In response to your question about have you lost your credibility? No way! Are you kidding me. This is what happens when the truth is told, instead of people taking responsibility for ther actions, they begin to blame others or some circumstances.

    Im a Vitel rep and I strongly believe in the founders and the entire Vitel family. I also, even though, I havent met you YET believe in you because I can listen or follow any man or woman who not only tells the truth, but also stands on principles. Keep doing what you have been doing because their will always be naysayers or whatever!

    I look forward to meeting you soon. God Bless You!

  • Michel Manuel

    I'm here to say that Ben Sturtevant is in fact a great leader and master of the industry.

    I think this matter has been blown way out of proportion and should have been handled privately, since that's where it originated, privately. There was no need to make this public.

    I watch people, including Reginald Stinson, call out people and mock them all the time on Facebook and other social media outlets and they now accuse Ben of being wrong about stating his opinion.

    I've watched Ben train thousands of people and I've watched what he has done to help people and his team and he truly has given his all. He is in fact a great leader.

    I'll back Ben all the way because I've seen what he has done. People have called him jealous in this forum and I laugh. All this video has done is create a Hatfield/McCoy concept between the two companies and it doesn't have to be that way.

    IT IS IN MY OPINION, that this matter should have been handled privately and not made into a public forum.

    Had Ben made a video about his questioning Troy's credibility and then published it, well, that's another story. But he didn't. There is enough room for all of us. At this time I'd like to thank Ben for helping me create a team of thousands within my organization and I'm proud to be a part of his team.

    • Troy Dooly

      @Michael,

      Thank you for taking time to comment and share both your insight and loyalty to Ben. You are correct Ben is a great leader, and as a great leader, he as well as all leaders must be held to a level of responsibility, that goes higher than an average distributor.

      And as a great leader, Ben and others know that we should never talk down about others privately or publicly.

      I do want to correct you in one small issue. This did not start privately. I did a public post, which Ben read and clicked on the link going to my son's ViTel landing page. From there he publicly entered his information. Then if you review the emails above you see where to a perfect stranger, not someone he had built any form of relationship with, he seemly slandered two other leaders in network marketing.

      Like Ben you do make allegations about Reginald, which may be true, bu you did not provide the proof to backup your statements. Like Ben you cross a line between opinion and stating a fact. You did not write "in my opinion" this is what Reginald does. Instead you wrote "this is what" Reginald does.

      A small linguist error, but one that ina court of law, could make all the difference on who wins a civil suit.

      I believe if you listened above to my video you will hear that I also praised Ben, as I have throughout these comments. Which is why it is so important that in order to continue our great growth in this great community we call network marketing that we collaborate and support each other, so we can all reach our dreams and goals, and prove to the critics this is the greatest way to earn a part-time or even full-time income.

      I would disagree that this video or the subject itself has created any form of hatfield/McCoy feud… Not concept, the feud was real. But is has caused many around the world who watch it, and read the editorial to understand, the time for a new standard of business in network marketing is now.

      No more backbiting and gossiping. If someone is going to stay anything privately or publicly, then they must be willing to own their statements and opinions, because there is always the possibility what they say and do, they will have to be accountable for.

      Had, Ben just questioned my credibility this video would never have been made. Ben questioning my credibility made for a great blog title, but the whole issue surrounds talking trash about others to a perfect stranger. See, I made it very clear in the video, JOsh, my son was in ViTel, as I have for over a year.

      Ben did not have to click and engage Josh in conversation, he could have contacted me directly, like he has over the years, and made his frustration known. But, instead of doing that, he not only questioned my credibility with my son, he decided to make some slanderous statements about others he does not know personally to someone else he doesn't know personally. All after pretending he was interested in learning more about ViTel by entering his fake information into the marketing system.

      None of us who have ever used online marketing systems, or contacted people personally, want to waste our time on folks who truly do not want to join our business. I bet you and Ben don;t like your time wasted. Or the feeling you might get, when you think you have soeone interested because they optin, just to find it is some faker.

      You are 100% correct there is enough room for all to reach their dreams and goals, and there is also many more who have never heard of Lightyear or ViTel who will be interested in one or another.

      It is great to see, sone one on Ben's team who is not only loyal, but a true friend.

      Again thank you for stopping by and adding value to the community.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

    Troy I would like to say you did a great unbiased job on the review on Vitel and your opinion is greatly appreciated with all the reviews of mlm companies because I did look at your review before I joined Vitel and was one of the reasons I did join. Keep up the great work. As for Brandon and Reginald, you 2 are great leaders and people have to understand that success is not always straight and narrow, there are always some bumps in the road along the way and you always have to find your way. You have to learn your way but the ultimate goal is success and they have reach it no matter how many mistake were made along the way.

  • http://godsblessings.vitelwireless.com Louella A.

    I believe that supporting family is very important. In this business I have learned that you really need support to grow. I have not been in this business that long, but I can say that Vitel is what I consider a company that really cares about the people who work with them. I have not personally met Brandon nor Reginald, but I can say that they exemplify what a leader should be. Sometimes people get afraid when they are up against the competitor. Troy I say keep supporting your son because family is important.

  • Camille Burrell

    Mr Dooly, I applaud and commend you for all your great work in light of this public attack. From what I've seen in your video, you've always been one to tell it like it is always in such a professional matter. I really love all your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.

    @Mr Ivey and Mr Stinson I truly admire you both. You are both such phenomenal leaders. I think that you two handled this situation with such class and professionalism. I have so much respect for you and truly appreciate you both for all you do and have done for your team. I'm sure this is not the first or the last time that you will come against attacks like this but its all about how you handle them. Maya Angelou said, "When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters… When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me…Look at Who is in charge of me."

    Its truly a blessing to be a part of this Vitel Movement. I've been searching for an opportunity like this and I'm so grateful that I've finally found it. Its going to be such an amazing ride. I'm so blessed to be part of a team filled with class act leadership.

    WOOHOO!! We are shaking things up and making some noise! We will change this industry! We've only just began. I look forward to meeting you all in Atlanta :-D .

    Thanks again Mr Dooly for all you do. Keep up the GREAT work.

    Be blessed everyone :-) .

  • http://www.viteltoday.com Dawn Perivier

    Thanks Troy for being upfront about your son being in Vitel. Really, you are not endorsing Vitel because your son has joined it. Your son, Josh, sees & believes this company is a good company & fit for him is why he is in. The more I understand this company the happier I am I joined. Competition is good, it makes us all better. No need to bad mouth anyone here, ever. I appreciate your blog & videos.

  • http://tissagodavitarne.com Tissa Godavitarne

    I respect Ben, so I was totally shocked that a 'leader' like him would say the things he did about others. It doesn't matter that it was in private; leadership happens in private as well. And considering Troy's track record of fairness and service to the MLM industry, it's immaterial that he posted his son's link. The irony here, is that it's not Troy who just lost credibility.

    A note about Reginald: Just the other day I posted on Facebook about the growing crop of MVNOs, and mentioned Solavei, Lightyear, Vitel and FreedomPop. Reginald chimed into the conversation, not to promote himself but to give kudos to one of his team members (Kelly Tolar). That's the mark of a true leader: Helping others succeed – not slandering the competition.

    • http://www.vitelbusiness.com Jesse Redd

      Tissa,

      I know you for a long time now, like we said before, we come a long way since the beginnings of the internet marketing wars…I learned my beginnings of the internet with you, so I respect and admire a lot of where you come from and what you do. You're an industry leader. And I also know that Ben is a good friend of yours. So I appreciate your integrity and honesty behind this matter.

      Reginald, Brandon, Troy and every other leaders and including myself, we stand behind the values of Vitel and the whole industry.

      Hi! Mr. Dooly

      I did not have the pleasure of meeting you July 21st, 2012 in Dallas Texas because I was not present. However, I cannot wait to meet the credible man I have become to know just from viewing your powerful videos. I know you have heard the expression that “real recognizes real” and that you certainty are. I am a person who wants the truth and some people can’t handle that. If it were not for Brandon Ivey & Reginald Stinson I wouldn’t have had the pleasure of even knowing your name. They both speak highly of you and you of them and that alone goes a long way.

      Now, Mr. Brandon Ivey, I cannot find the words to express his great leadership but I can say we function as a team at Vitel and that is awesome within itself. While attending the University of Phoenix where I pursued my Master’s in Psychology (GPA was a 2.9, needed a 3.0, but I got the knowledge) I developed interpersonal, organizational and communication skills by working consistently in a Team environment and this alone drew me to Vitel because I was familiar that Teams can produce great results. I said that to say this, my mindset would not be improving if it were not for Mr. Ivey and his great leadership abilities that he does not mind sharing with his team as a whole.

      Reginald Stinson is as real and as awesome as they come. Mr. Stinson is firm and a stickler (A person who insists on a certain quality or type of behavior: "a stickler for accuracy"; "a stickler when it comes to timekeeping".) for growth as well as change with our entire Team. He will not sugar coat anything (and that I personally love about him), but his approach is always in a professional manner. If you are not built for constructive criticism then Mr. Stinson is not your man because he will tell you there is growth & prosperity when you can’t handle the truth or you are on a path to destruction. However, if you can handle the truth, have an open mind, you are coachable, and want to be trained under some great leadership with Vitel, he (Reginald Stinson is all that in a nutshell).

      I cannot wait to meet and great my leaders and mentors of Vitel September 8, 2012 during our convention in Atlanta, GA. We as a TEAM w/Vitel would love to see you there. If you need further information pertaining to this event please contact Mr. Brandon Ivey or Mr. Reginald Stinson. They are both well exposed leaders and not hard to find.

      To God Be the Glory,

    I have sat here for several hours watching the videos and seeing the comments and not sure exactly how to word this.

    For me, I don't know who Lightyear is, but I am learning. Vitel is the first MLM company that I have ever joined. I have looked at others over the past year but not one of them was LightYear. I do realize that this is a competitive market but so are so many other industries and you don't see this type of attack.

    All I know is why I joined Vitel, and why the people on my team joined Vitel. I joined Vitel because I have a card in my wallet that has an American Flag on it that has my name on it and each month money is deposited on it to provide food for my family.

    I joined Vitel because I am 35 year old with two children. I joined Vitel because my finace works in a factory making $10.00 an hour and that doesn't cover all the bills or house payment. I joined Vitel because I want my children afforded every opportunity that others have. I know that this is probably more information that some of you wanted to even read, but the way I see it, is I want to help other people do the same.

    As far as Brandon Ivey, I have worked for companies on "jobs" that didn't offer the support that he has. He has taken time to help people and teach people exactly how to be successful in Vitel. I can't and won't say anything negative about any other MLM company because this is my first one and I don't know enough about any other to make any hurtful remarks, but I do find it disturbing that not only are people making attacks on Vitel but now it has been taken to a personal level.

    I also believe (and this too is a personal opinion) that their should be a respect level between all MLM leaders no matter what the company. I frequently visit your site Troy and believe that you have been honest in your reviews of MLM companies. I also watched a lot of your videos on a lot of companies while trying to narrow my search to the right fit for me and it just happened to be VItel. Thank you Troy, Reginald and Brandon for all you do. Each of you have helped and inspired me in some sort of way.

    For years, I've followed Reginald Stinson and as of late, Brandon Ivy. I've just admired and studies the success stories in Network Marketing. However, it was in the many opportunities that I discovered in Vitel and leaders like this that persuaded me to get involved this time. And I do not regret it at all. I'm proud to be associated with the caliber of this company and their representatives.

  • T Waker

    It's in the making of a good leader that sacrifice is made, endurance become key, and results level the playing fields.

    I like to thank all leaders in this industry. Keep pressing and we will keep pressing with you.

  • http://garychappelle.com Gary Chappelle

    Personally, I think both sides are wrong.

    Ben tried to explain why he has issues with some of the persons he listed in the emails, but do those reasons justify the comments that he made?

    Troy tried to justify why he published the emails, but does the explanation that no email communications are really private justify the publication?

    This probably should have been handled privately between Ben and Troy. Would it have resolved everything? Not sure, but it would have been the right first course of action for people who really do want to provide a good image for the MLM industry.

  • Deb

    Troy,

    You should have contacted Ben privately about this instead of publicly posting his PRIVATE email conversation. I see everyone attacking Ben but no one else posting seems to see how wrong it was of you to display a "private" email conversation publicly, or they just do not care and that baffles me.

    Very few people seem to know what PRIVATE means anymore. You have not lost any credibility because you were helping out your son, no, but trust has been lost now because you publicly posted someone elses PRIVATE email conversation which a professional like you should not do.

    • Troy Dooly

      @Deb,

      Thank you for stopping by and adding into this conversation.

      Let me explain real quick, this was not a private email between to friends or two people who knew each other, it was a commercial email.

      Ben used deception to join a marketing autoresponder promoting ViTel, by using the fake name of Todd and providing someone else's phone number. He was NEVER planning on joining ViTel with Josh. Then, instead of coming to me directly with his issue of my supporting my son (which you just mentioned I should have done), he decided to talk trash to Josh, a perfect stranger. And he did not just stop with me, which I could deal with privately. But he went on to trash two ViTel leaders. And, although he is entitled to his opinions, Ben did not state what he was saying was opinion, he stated it as fact. And even then did not provide any documentation.

      Maybe you feel this is okay, but the Courts have already ruled, we can't hid behind commercial communication to slander or trash others without being held accountable (Amway vs. TEAM). This is the 21s Century, and we as leaders need to be held accountable for our actions (All of us!). Had Ben come to me, with his concerns or opinions, then I would have had no issue. But to slam two other leaders, dis another network markting comapny, and to do it to a perfect strager is not profesisonal or at the level of best practices we should be using in Network Market.

      And do you really think Ben did not expect my son to call and say who is this guy and read what he just wrote?

      Ben is a great guy, solid leader, wonderful recruiter and someone I feel is above this type of marketing. And, if nothing else I know I have learned once more, never to say anything I am not willing to be held accountable for.

      By the way, had Ben written Josh a private message here at FB, or a personal email and not through the marketing platform, would not have brought this up publically as I did. But, if our private actions are to embarrising for the public to know about them, then I question the actions.

      Again, Deb, thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to weigh in, your opinion does count!

      Troy

  • Wendy Shives

    I personally left another MLM because it wasn't a 'fit' for me. It wasn't working, once again, FOR ME. Noone ran me down or blew up my phone. I found Vitel. And I am home there. I finally found a TEAM that works TOGETHER to HELP promote the entire team, not just the upline. I have not and will not bash my old company. Negativity breeds misery, which I will not take part in. I have nothing but utmost respect for Brandon, and Reginald, as they continue to prosper and coach us to reach our destiny. I applaud the leaders in this company for reaching out to the little people,to teach us, and guide us in this new era we have in marketing. I am more than happy where I am, I have found what works for me. I will continue to "pay it forward" to anyone who willingly listens. Kudos to Troy for delivering the plain truth, whether it be negatively or positively accepted.

    THERE IS OVER 110 COMMENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER; I MET MR. TROY DOOLY, BRANDON IVEY & REGINALD STINSON @ OUR DALLAS CONVENTION ON JULY 21ST, 2012; AS WELL AS THE OWNERS & THEIR STAFF FROM "VITEL", I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME WITH THE GROUP. TO ME, IT IS ALL ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE , ESPECIALLY THE "LITTLE PEOPLE" WITH THERE ASPIRATIONS AND NOT HARMING OTHERS JUST TO OVERLY GREEDY!

  • Bridget Gardiner

    I just joined Vitel last night I as well looked into Lightyear about a year ago and as well blew off Vitel for some time now Im excited. Im a stay at home mom and my husband supports 7 of us on his income alone and nicely so if I could help with any money was my goal. Now I get to reduce our bills PLUS make money. And Brandon Ivey knows how to grab you and get you excited. Im overly eager to see where my, yours and our future go with this company

  • http://www.myvitel.com/helpingothers Rory-Ann Williams

    Troy,

    Thank you for all of your fairness you have shown to all companies! I left another MLM to join Vitel, will leave names out. I have also been bashed by members that are staying with the former company. It is such a shame that people feel so worried that they bash this company and the people that see it more fit for them. I thought things would calm down for me but still have people sneeking on sites meant for guest and bashing me personally. In my opinion, Vitel is the best ever! That is why so many people who see this business joins this company. It's not cross recruiting that people keep saying, just a better business model bar none! Keep up the great work Troy and all Vitel leaders!

    • http://www.choicies.com Thelma Baker

      I agree, it is rare to find someone that speaks out and remain fair from all sources. Thanks Troy for giving us choices, because Vi Tel really makes a difference.

  • http://jgcdistributing.vitelwireless.com/ Gerry Copenhaver

    No Troy, you have not lost credibility. I could go off about how wrong this person was, or how his leadership role has been severely tarnished by this episode, but instead I just want to congratulate you on taking the higher road and for reminding us of the 101% rule. In my early days in sales I spend 10 years selling Kirby Vacuum cleaners door to door. One of the things I discovered in doing that was that when I did the "vac kill" on the customer's machine, it had to be done with respect and no attack words or mannerisms whatsoever. Why? People defend themselves, what's theirs and the decisions they made to make it theirs and if I wanted any chance of making my product a part of their lives, I had to play ball WITH them, not AGAINST them. Thank you for all you do.

  • Keith Williams

    Hello Troy.

    I had completed my reply earlier and my computer froze before I could send it, talk about the enemy not wanting the message to Go forward! But we WIN Anyway!

    I wanted to say that GOD chose you, his son, to create this site in the first place and He allowed you to post it on the World Wide Web (Internet). Just as He did that for you in His position, He said it was ok, from your position, to do it for your son Josh! You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about because you have done nothing wrong or distasteful! GOD has already Blessed your decision, the enemies are just trying to stop the Blessing, but they can't!

    I discovered your site several years ago and I have come back over and over again to LEARN from your Wisdom and Insight over the years! I said when I first logged onto your site years ago, "This man has been sent by GOD to help bring Wisdom, Insight, Fairness, Clarity and just a Friend to All of us in this Huge Industry."

    I knew then, years ago, that you and the Wisdom that GOD has given you, would HELP lead me to the confirmation of where my Home should be in this industry!

    I had no idea that GOD would confirm that by allowing me to meet you in person in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, July 21, 2012, years after first discovering your site. It was like the skies of Heaven opened up when I looked and saw you! It was confirmation that I had found my Home in this HUGE industry! But, Troy, More Importantly than me finding my home, it's about My TEAM finally finding a home where THEY can Aslo be Successful! That means More To Me Than Anything for their lives to change for the Better. Because without them, I have NO Success! We Finally can start Building Our TEAM Now!!! We as Leaders MUST Never Ever Forget That It's ALWAYS about helping EVEN that Person Who Just Joined Your TEAM five minutes ago, ALWAYS!!!!!!! No matter how long your TEAM has been growing or how big it is. A Leader's Income is only as Secure as the people's Success who just joined their TEAM!

    My TEAM is small in numbers now, BUT Huge Hearts and Passion! We Call Those Things That Be Not AS If They Were Already! We will help Thousands Better Their Families' lives!!! Vitel has Made It Possible! There's PLENTY to go around for EVERYONE.

    As for Brandon and Reggie! Don't sweat the SMALL stuff. You have Bigger Targets to Focus your Energy, like Continuing to help the people on your TEAM be Successful like you're doing! GOD will handle your enemies my friends!

    Shout Out to Scott Rogers, CEO, Jeris Coleman, VP of Marketing and the Entire Vitel Staff and Family!!!!

    Stay Blessed Everyone!

    I left another MLM company because it wasn't a good fit for me. As I sat back and watched I learned that there were other MLMs out there that were very appealing to me and my families needs. NO ONE came looking for me and NO ONE called me to try an recruit me.When I saw VITEL for the first time it took me about 10 minutes to realize that this was an amazing opportunity for me to get my family back on the right track. My upline is not all about themselves. They are interested in helping their downlines and work them to promote quickly! As I have been building my team I stress daily to me team that we will be ethical and will work as a team! I have not and will not bash the previous company that I was with as it was not the company itself that made me make a business decision to leave. I refuse to hang out or listen to negative people as negativity breeds misery, I have nothing but respect for Brandon, and Reginald, as they work extremely hard to coach and train their teammates that are willing to put forth the effort. I commend the leaders in this company for reaching out to me and all the new affiliates,to teach us, and guide us through our new endeavors. I am ecstatic to be with VITEL and am doing what I love which is to help others reach financial freedom. So excited to know that Troy is not afraid to deliver the truth no matter what! VITEL rocks and I am excited to be a part of this amazing company!

  • http://www.nobillsforreal.com Jeff Trills Mr. www.

    ok so let me keep it real! here is the FACTS.i was a opportunity junkie who has been in tons of opportunity from mlm's to direct sales.so you can imagine i was burnt out so when my upline kerry sent me the vitel link i was like no.but when i took a look at it.and saw i didnt have to switch over to vitels service and all i needed was 25 people to drive for free.i said this is the easiest program i have ever seen!

    so on July 2,2012 i joined and i have already got promoted.i already qualified for free cellphone service,i already qualified for my business to be free,i got paid."i love that part" and im building an amazing team.

    now the leadership is off the chain.simply because they CARE! they give training that ACTUALLY WORK both free marketing and low cost ,marketing!etc

    the family aka the reps are one! we have soooooo much synergy its electrifying.you can come in to vitel fb group and learn learn learn.im telling people are sharing no matter if they get paid from you or not! because of what scott roger and his corporate team said."they work for us" and we understood this one thing! if one wins,we all wins.here's why…if you have everyone succeeding in vitel.and you go to someone as a vitel rep and say have you heard about vitel? whats gonna happen is this! they are gonna say oh is that the company where people are getting their bills paid.please sign me up i keep seeing people pictures of there bills being paid!

    so if your are a person like me that is just looking for something that you can finally have some success or if your a leader how is looking for an opportunity when your entire team can be a leader and actually succeed by just connecting them to a powerful fb network to get the training they need to win.to where you dont have to worry about training them yourself! get with me and let the vitel family and myself show you how is done! to your success! GO HARD OR GO HOMELESS!

  • http://www.napower.com/115550/m2m/video Sam Cleaver

    Why would Ben do that? If he had bad feelings about it he should have brought it up with you. I liked Ben, even though many of his comments have been to the ilk that his company and service that he sells is better than all others. He lost some credibility from this. We need to lift the industry up as a whole, as well as the fact that people can make a good to great income starting part time, working consistently and and build to a full time income and more!

    Keep up the good work Troy!

  • http://NoCellPhoneBill.tk Angela Skabelund

    Out of a Job? Losing income? No pay raises? Tired of the Rat Race? Join Vitel as they will pay your bills as you become more and more successful! I love Vitel and how it is changing peoples lives. Love it. You can do this too. Check it out you won't regret it.

  • http://www.letsgetpaidnow.com Frank Monteiro II

    I was actually researching Lightyear Wireless when I came across Vitel and all research stopped. I truly believe Vitel Wireless is the best chance for me personally to achieve my goals. Of all the MLM's I've looked at, there is nothing like Vitel for me. I signed up under Reginald Stinson after watching all of his youtube videos and reading everything I could find about him. I have still not talked to him personally, but he is the real deal, make no mistake about it. If you want to get ahead with a winning team, contact me. We are going to the top.

    Haters…. Fall Back.

  • Sandra Heaggins

    Troy -just because your son is with Vitel won't make your creditability go down. I really like Vitel because I want my household's lifestyle to modify. I was laid off in April of 2011 at no mistake of my own, so I realized right then that I had to determine about my lifestyle and what I want to achieve. I interceded every day and evening about my life to modify. I obtained an e-mail from Reginald Stinson about Vitel Wireless. I was so impressed with what I saw. My prayers were answered. I talked directly to Reginald and never in my life that I talked to a effective leader like him. I know Reginald by working with him on another project-Awesome instructor and leader! Vitel is the right organization with right services and product that can provide anyone on everyday angles and so much more. Vitel makes it possible. Brandon is a truly amazing instructor and leader as well and the teams at Vitel rocks. Scott Rogers –A Smart Man!!!

  • Public viewer

    I'm new to this and happen to come across this video blog, but I just want to say: Troy, you are not wrong from put your son link up because you're just trying to help promote your son business.

    To the rest… you all are hypocrite…

    Some of you have mentioned as MLM, "we need to RESPECT one another," "don't BASH each other," and some called other company "Lightyear is a different animal." Let's me ask you all this; have you all been RESPECTFUL to each other? And what are you all doing right here reply to this blog page? This is no different from Ben, you all are bashing around the net and had no RESPECT for others, like dogs without a leash run around making noise all over the web. For Ben, he did were just stated in the email between two parties conversation, and it’s unprofessional; and what this blog did, is way off unprofessional, basing and no RESPECT for other more than BEN did. So my question is, “Whose basing, unprofessional, and unethical whose?” You all are like three years old with tantrums of get revenge to hurt one another, and try to put yourself/your company better than other.

    This is just my point of view you can keep or deleted it’s up to you, and you know what is right and wrong. I’m glad that I have a chance to read reviews all these message.

    Thank you, TROY. Best of luck!

      @Public Viewer,

      First let me say thank you for the kind words. And second let me say… Powerful and insightful comment.

      Although, the community of Network Marketing can be a little wild and even hypocritical at times, we really are a great place for the average person to make a home, once they find the right company.

      And, after doing this video and editorial, I have also uncovered a form of marketing that some who have commented are using that I feel is unethical. Not illegal and is used by many in different industries, but for a community of people all seeking the same results, I feel it should not be used.

      So I will be reporting on it soon.

      Again, thank you for taking time to share your insights.

      Living An Epic Adventure,
      Troy

  • Dale

    I can honestly say I have listened to Troy Dooly and honor many of his thoughts and currently a teammate of Brandon Ivey. I dont like to make negative comments, nor would it get me anywhere. A true faith driven leader is not a competitor they are a creator. I see will stand side by side in the ugliest of trenches with Brandon any day. Sometimes you just have to squash it and move on. Great post Troy.
