Jim had been doing business like most other leaders in MLM for years. And I had known Phil personally for years. Our hearts goes out to his family and staff at Cutting Edge.

Phil Longenecker 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) and added several cutting edge services, including online systems and custom lead stores for top leaders in just about every MLM company in business today.

Over the last few years Phil and his team at CEM 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.

Rest In Peace
