Long term I get more loyalty and build a better scalable process long term. 

I've been self employed almost 12 years, I don't have a strong loyalty to an outside entity beyond it's ability to be a means to an end.

@Frank A Castro sounds like he's more worried about himself than you, which is a breach of the duty of loyalty and obedience he owes you as someone who represents your best interests. 

A cold soda given to your gardener on a hot day will bring big rewards.When approaching these acquaintances, remember that their sense of loyalty and commitment to you is less than those in your Sphere of Influence.

All Redfin has done is create a steady stream of buyers for their real estate (bullpen licensed agents) that buyers have ZERO LOYALTY as agents will whore their services to any person walking through the front door or calling on the telephone.

Now, I know that some people cannot do this with children and brand loyalty, but it worked for me and it might work for others.
