MLM is waste of time job

january SG

it will be better if you all join some humbler but regular job
like food court assistant.

MLM = salesman kind of job.

health products is the main thing they sell because appeal to health factor.

especially people who have illness or their kins have illness.

but touch your heart and open your eyes, these products really have super
effect meh, there is no proper way to verify those claims loh.

the only way these MLM industry will survive is when stupid people are still
alive. obviously the presence of these MLM i can see now means that
there is really a lot of naive people in singpaore. but of course, singapore is not
the only one. the world is filled with stupid people.

the trick is you must be the first to capitalised on MLM thingy…. or we called pioneer ….....these pple the so called diamond ..or watever you called it….MLM works on leveraging not selling products… the idea is for your down lines to do all the selling while you do the recruitment assuming your downlines are all idiots make monies for you… if you are high high up the line congratulation …if not…. better go and be a food court assistant!!

Hi,

I worked for a MLM for about 5 years reaching a senior managerial position before I have to stop due to some reasons. But it's noting to do with the company or ppl.

I don't think doing MLM is a waste of time. Also, very largely, you need a lot of determination and persistant to survive in MLM especially in S'pore.

If we are talking for $ sake, I don't really agree that the pioneers will be at the advantage because I have earned many times the income of my uplines before provided that the marketing plan is fair. Let me be frank to you that I had ever landed in a suitation when I helped my downline to close a deal without earning a single cent from her. BUT I am still happy for her becos, she had income coming in!

If for product sake, if we talk about health and beauty products, I have achieved the sense of achievement when my customers thanked me for their positive results. Of course, at times, I did receive complains when my downlines did not service their customers properly resulting bad impression to the company.

Sometimes, it's not for both sake. We enjoyed the times when we worked hard together and mentally we are 'growing' to think that noting is easy and free in this world. It's the kind of bonding that I can never get when I worked with my company now. Actually, I feel more happy there becos we treated each other with full respect and not hyprocrite (sp?).

Till today, I am still being very postitive about MLM. It's really sad to read in this forum that many people actually condemmed MLM. MLM route to sucess is never easy and we really need alot of persistant to survive and stay competitive.

dcx SG

Erm....actuali hor...i dun think there're alot of ppl here who hate MLM....it's just a particular company that most do not like about .....note the difference.... Mr. Green

Mrs Bubbly SG

Sorry, if I have misinterpret that forumers hated MLM.... Yeah, I can sense that 'fire' out there for a particular company.. I think, this is a pretty common scene that we will see when there are competition..in this case, in the cyber space.

I've known ppl who talked bad about other MLM company just becos they want to lure ppl to his "best company" and added "salt and vineger" to it.

In anyway, for the sake of MLM...I hoped that those who had failed to achieve what they wanted for themselves to learn from the mistakes (if any) or give themselves another chance to MLM again. They will be bad sheeps around but I think that there are 2 sides of coins in certain aspects.

teekh SG

nahz...it's not a company vs company prob(hence competition)...it's a company vs consumers prob...haha

the product training for mlm is handed down from the top personnal.
there is no good way to verify the validity of the products.

so those mlm personnel will just reiterate the story they get
from the booklets they have.

the products that are churned out are not well researched. at all.

in a capitalism economy, the pioneer just want to earn more
about some thing which they think that the consumres in the market will
buy.

it is not something that the consumers need to buy. basically
all sales lines, luxury good sellers are the same... not only mlm.

Do you really understand what DCX said? Coz your post imply the recent flaming was due to backstabbing by other companies. This is considering some of these people I know were just victims or ex agents, rather than MLMers from other company.

By the way, its not i disagree with your post regarding two sides of the coins, but one problem, and its nagging me, its that most MLMers dont lay the hard facts and discuss the issue, in this forum i mean. Rather, the posts are like yours, i must say, very wishy washy, philosophical, always talking abt backstabbing, being neutral, black sheeps etc etc

Besides that, if you want to impress the non MLMers, lay down the hard facts. I think what most non MLMers wanted to see is some hard facts to argue against theirs, rather than some circuitous responses which dont answer the questions.

laurence82 SG

oops, i just told bubbly this very same thing b4 i saw your reply....

MLM Victim SG

I pity you too. seem like you are one of those who like to poke behind others' ass with yr dick... Hahahahahahaha....

Now I know that "I LOVE BMW" is not only a LIAR, he is also a GAY!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful of AIDS!!! GAY!!!

MLM Victim SG

Ya ya ya!!! Just like me and Coslab and Venture Era!!! I hate the way they do!!!

And Coslab dont refund me!!!

MLM Victim SG

Another MLM grandfather story.
*yawn*

Egyptian SG

That sounds really victimised.

Do they have a refund policy? What is the reason for the non refund? Of cos perishable items cannot be refund.. thats basic and logic understanding.
Frivolous request cannot be comply ..

If you have a valid reason, all professional companies, notwithstanding MLM companies will take up the refund.

Have you gotten all your facts right against the company to potray such a message over her?

Cheers

very largely, you need a lot of determination and persistant => means => must be very thick skinned, and being strong in coning more people without shame. Confused

RHluvW SG

If people are so stupid to be conned it eventually destroys the win-win situation for any business. And this defeats the purpose of doing business, especially so for mlm. In contrary, to suceed in mlm u need sincerity and not put on a mask. Human beings are not stupid..they can tell if you are lying to them. One example is the numerous complaints everybody can see in this forum. And what happens next? the company gets a bad name and everyone labels it a scam. Everytime!

But what about majority of those who are doing mlm the honest and sincere way, with products or opportunity offered that can really help improve their lives?And why is it that when a car or insurance salesman did not do well, it's because the salesman is perceived as a lousy performer? But why is it that when a mlmer did not perform as well it's the fault of the company, products, compensation plan, etc but never himself?
