Welcome back everyone. After taking a brief tour of the Global Cash Flow Network offices and learning about the Certified Media Placement Specialist Program ( for which you all can see the pictures below), I sat down with Mary Gersten to begin our interview. It was interesting to see how far she’s come since we worked together, and I was eager to learn what she had done in the years since. More so, I was interested to learn more about this Certified Media Placement Specialist program. Read on for our first interview.
Craig James: Well, Mary, you’ve certainly come a long way since our last job. I’ve read up on you and found that it hasn’t been an easy road getting here.
Mary Gersten: There was a point where I had struggled quite a bit but I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to settle for anything less than success.
CJ: You’ve certainly achieved that success with this CMPs program. What’s it been like managing this company?
Mary Gersten: I believe, the best way to attain success is to find out how to be successful from people who are already successful. I’ve known people in the business. I started looking further into it by asking a lot of questions and ended up partnering to create this program. What’s great about it is that we aren’t giving people the opportunity to just make money like the traditional home-based business. It’s actually a training program for them to learn about media placement.
We teach them all kinds of methods of media placement and this is the same type of media placement that very successful internet companies use. It’s not rocket science. It’s not extremely complicated. An average person could learn how to do it, it’s all just know-how. That’s what we do. We teach and give them the basics and know-how of media placement that a lot of people just don’t know how to do.”
CJ: That’s interesting, because you had a lot to say about success in your most recent interview with Mark Hodges, owner of http://dont-get-scammed-again.com/. What was that like?
Mary Gersten: It was a great experience. You know he’s an expert in his field. I was a little nervous at first of being interviewed by Mark Hodges, but once I started talking about the program and what we’re doing, it just really felt great. I realized what we have is a really great program. So there was nothing for me to be nervous about. It just went really well and I felt really good about it. The questions he asked were fair questions and we were able to give good answers. It was a real privilege to have his time to do that as well.
CJ: There’s a lot to cover throughout these interviews. Since we don’t want to overload our readers here, is there anything you’d like to say in regards to how you think this is going?
Mary Gersten: One thing I would have to take offense to: I read your introduction on the website and you said that I’ve gone from failure to success.
CJ: Right. You mentioned something about my word choice there. Though I think we have different definitions for the word.
Mary Gersten: I don’t think that I’ve been a failure. The business my ex-husband and I started together that he now owns and I got nothing for-he’s still running that business. It is a successful business.
Being a single mother and struggling financially does not render me as a failure. It was difficult to start all over again and go out to try and find a job. Day care for four kids is outrageous. I struggled for quite awhile. But to me a failure is someone who completely gives up. They just stop trying. That’s a failure to me. I remember hearing about President Lincoln. He basically lost about every election that he ran for except for maybe one other one besides the presidency. No one would consider him a failure. I don’t think it’s the path that you take that determines your success or failure but where you end up in the long run.”
Mary was very amicable during our sessions. Her candid nature made asking questions easier, knowing I would get the honest answers, not just what I wanted to hear. You can expect plenty more over the next few weeks as we start getting to the meat of the issue when we talk about the Certified Media Placement Specialist Program and Global Cash Flow Network.
