Phil and Shawn Kelly launched CEM around the same time Kevin Lehmann launched ProSTEP. For many years both companies worked side by side in supporting the Network marketing community with high quality lead generation.

In 2005, when ProSTEP closed its doors, Phil and Cutting Edge Media climbed to the top as the World’s #1 Lead Generation Company. They expanded their operation to Salt Lake City (The World Capital of MLM Companies).

Over the last few years, CEM has expanded its publishing empire to include some of the most recognized names in Home Based Business Magazines:

Opportunity Connection
Simply Home
True Wealth
Home Business

Under Phil’s leadership this small two man operation became a multi-million dollar success story.

Phil’s original vision was to make CEM the leading provider of marketing, advertising, and lead generation solutions for the home business industry.

there is no doubt in my mind, his vision will live on!!!

Phil R.I.P… We will miss you!

Our hearts go out to Phil’s family and his extended family at Cutting Edge media.

For all of you who knew Phil or want to pass along your heart felt responses. Please do so in the comments and we’ll pass them along.

How to run your MLM Business better than a blind hot dog vendor may sound strange. But once you read this story, you will quickly see what I mean.

The Blind Man Who Sold Hot Dogs

There was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs.

He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio.

He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers.

He put up signs on the highway telling how good they were.

He stood by the side of the road and cried “Buy a hot dog, Mister.”

People bought.

He increased his meat and roll orders.

He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade.

He finally got his son home from college to help him out.

But then something happened….
