Multi Level Marketing/Network Marketing
Who's done it? Who does it? What your opinion of it?
|
Dumbasses. Dumbasses. Only dumbasses do it.
|
It's for losers, exclusively.
|
No.
|
Why the hate though?
|
Shit's weak.
Your friends and family will hate you and talk shit behind your back. You will hate your job. |
I still talk shit on a few guys who i used to be friends with, because of crossing the friend line and venturing into the "...but wait there's more" schtick.

Ok. But can money be made in those companies? Everyone will hate you and you're a loser, I get it. But in the end who makes the profit?
|
Think Pyramid Scheme, some people make money, usually the first ones in, especially the founder.
There are better ways to make money. |

if you even have to ask who will make the money it won't be you, guaranteed

Do something more honorable and just rob houses.

The turnover is super high, so if Salary or Hourly, the founder could get his ass handed to him quickly because of shitty employees. And you will get shitty employees, because those are the only ones dumb enough to work in that industry. |

I wonder if anyone here has ever tried it or experienced it?
You can come out. I won't call you a dumbass. |
No but we all know idiots who have and didn't make any money while annoying the shit out of everyone around them in the process.

I went to an interview for a "warehouse job" at one of those caves under I-435. It turned out to be selling knives.

Remember it's not the filters where you make the money, it's the licenses

SO I go to this meeting, everyone is all in suits and looking sharp....big slick presentation about MLM and how much money you could make and only at the very end did they "reveal" that it was Amway. I was so pissed off I didn't know what to do...I didn't say much on the ride home.... Then like the next day there was this box of crap on my porch.......amway products and catalogs with a note that I owed him 200$... I left it on my porch, called the dude and told him to come pick up the shit or i was going to throw it away. The end. |

To this day I've never bought anything from a salesman that was their idea. I hear a sales pitch and I just tune out. |
He ****ed a whole lot of people to get there, guaranteed.

I don't entirely agree with this image. But to help Phobia's point. |

Just don't ask any of us to join your pyramid. It's for fools and losers. |

Generally......Possible to make money, but overall most unlikely. Depends on the product too.
The MLM i am familiar with seems quite cult-like. No thanks. |
pretty flawless imo

I only know that the pushy cult-like friends put a strain on friendships...even after you have politely said "no thanks" like ten times. |

The brother of one of my college roommates has done quite well in a MLM business. But he is at the very top of the pyramid. He did Herbalife for several years with little success before hitting it big with his current product line. I would rather live in a tent than support myself this way.

I tried my hand at a MLM once. It simply wasn't for me. I didn't like the concept of hitting up my friends and family constantly, offering a product I was only half-assed interested in/proud of.
I think some people thrive in that environment, though. Call them what you want, but it's a successful business to some people. And you know what - more power to them. I won't complain about another person's success because I couldn't hack it. |
The Gurus use the bait and switch method. They look for people wanting to make money, get you in and then you end up being a customer. If you accept and try to work the system it doesn't matter to them. You are just another sucker who accepts their mass emails. I got rid of my old email for that reason. It turns into a spam receptacle no matter what you do. You have to go automated and send mass emails out. I just didn't like the feel of it. And it is correct that friends and family take a long time to get over the sales pitch, even if you pay their way in to it. I put hundreds of dollars into it.

It was a little more subtle though

Most MLM's are a waste of time though there are some good products.
Mary K, Shaklee, Amway, Herbal Life are all MLM's. Most of the time you make your money by signing up new recruits. But there have been instances where people actually have a book of business. If you set it up that way and train your people to do the same you can make some serious cash. Only problem is MLM's have such a negative stigma people will judge and run from you before you get a chance to explain what the hell it is you are selling. So just what is this opportunity someone presented to you? |
My honest opinion is that they are sales job for occultists. If you're willing to drink the Kool-Aid, knock on doors, alienate your friends and family, then you could very possibly make a bunch of money. If you're dedicated. But then again, you can make a bunch of money doing a lot of things if you're dedicated.
