Just a question for jedi.. have you ever thought that you are
under the propaganda of Amway and those success stories are just
fakes? I have been to a MLM company , indeed i see people who are
successful with really encouraging life stories , yet i see only 17
out of 600 people? In the course of 2 years , membership grew from
100+ to 600.
One guy out of the 17 achieved the top status in 9 months , out of
the other 500 , none did? Isn't this questionable?
And also , i notice that for the whole day , they kept telling me
about the positive side , their stories , how their products helped
, how the company is legal , how MLM can help you achieve
success.
Not once did i encounter a person who told me of the actual METHOD
he used to get to maybe.. 3rd highest?
Which got me thinking... , you may know the way to success , but
what you know is from ONE person , or ONE company. Take everything
with a pinch of salt , find out more from other sources.
I think people are buying this "hard work pays off" thing , work
hard and you will get there! Sadly , how many actually do no matter
how hard they work? Are you getting what im saying? I don't see the
figures , i'm sure you don't either if you seriously ask yourself
this question.
Where are the figures for those who managed to ahieve the top spot?
Those who joined last year? or recently? or in Amway's case , 5yrs
ago? How many?
I think this is similar to blindly believing in God to the point
that you diss other religions.
I am not saying God is a product or that if you believe in God you
will make money. But the level of belief in the MLM system is
absolutely mind bloggling.
Also , i find that the revised MLM Act from the MTI states that a
company cannot sell the distributor a product for resale and the
company or the person selling is NOT allowed to get a commission of
it. The product sold must also be sold at cost or discount price ,
after which the product may only be used for demonstration
purposes.
This is in direct contrast to binary marketing isn't it? I have a
friend in NTIparis , i was shocked to hear that he was in it , he
paid 288 i think , to enter and he must ask 2 friends to join or
his account won't be opened. What his account is and how it works ,
i have no idea , i only know he is in NTI and he paid to enter.
When my other friend in another MLM company asked him abt the
products NTIparis is selling , he doesn't know.
What am i saying here? I am saying that these MLM companies ,
although some are legit , some are not. Some may succeed , but
those who succeed essentially feed off the mouths of those who
don't. Morally right? Morals should actually be left out of this ,
it is a never ending topic.
Also , MLM companies "make use" of distributors to spread the word
of their products , see this.
You know many fail , you also know a few succeed. Many VS a few.
Another thing , the many who fail , they probably at least sold one
product or just spread the word. Add them together , the company is
making tons of publicity at no expense as many failed.
MLMS may be good , but why are so many who are aware of it BEFORE
they were subject to it's tactics against it? My god sister went
down for a job interview introduced by her friend , her friend
wouldnt say anything abt the job and when she went down and heard
it was a MLM related company , she got so angry they never
contacted each other again. Breaking up friendships? You may think
you are selling something good to your friends but are you really?
NuSkin? ALA? Magnetic Beds?
I did some research on these 3.
NuSkin basically rubs off your skin , it's strong as hell , that's
why it is so "effective".
ALA has 2 types. S-ALA and R-ALA. S-ALA is a byproduct created when
producing R-ALA , it has no benefits when absorbed and may even
hinder the helpful R-ALA type.R-ALA is produced in the human body
and helps fight free radicals that cause harm.
ALA is Alpha Lipoic Acid btw.
Magnetic Beds, i think someone here mentioned about strip magnets
and circular magnets , strip magnets being the better version. Not
sure about it , didn't go much into it.
To me , MLM is making use of distributors to make use of friends
and to those who succeed , good for them , but ask about their
social life? Apart from company staff , who else do they hang out
with?
I would love to take a neutral stand , but the points of arguments
are not convincing enough to actually say that MLM is a beneficial
company that helps you achieve financial freedom IF you work hard
for it.
Let's not forget the law. What your company does may be legal , how
the company works may not be.
