Based on updates from my friends, it seems that there are quite a number of new mlm companies recently.Are the questions answered in this thread sufficient f...

My explanation is not flawed. I'm not in any MLMs or Pyramids.

I'm not here to mislead for your information.

If you think my explanation is flawed, yours is flawed too.

I do not need to flame LFI here. LFI already has a bad enough name out there.

By the way, how much you earned from recruiting new members into LFI? ^^

If you have no intention of misleading, than start your own thread post(s).

If you're in my thread posting replies, than I only value helpful/insightful information.

If you're not here to flame, than explain your thread post above.

Don't assume or make wild guess if you know nothing.

Since you are not in anyway related to MLM/Pyramid, that means you know nothing about the business, operations and procedures, so don't write information which is completely invalid since you said it yourself. (Yet claiming your reply is not flawed.)

dazhutou SG

people who fail in business are those who quit the business..

the_fallen SG

people who fail in business are those who quit the business..

isn't that a general knowledge? Moreover, there are lots of reasons why people fail in business. That statement is just a sterotyping the majority only.

dazhutou SG

hmm..of course there's no such thing as free meal.got to work for it..

the_fallen SG

hmm..of course there's no such thing as free meal.got to work for it..

well i do know that..but my actual question is: what does that (your thread reply) have to do with this thread?

moreover, you are neither contributing/replying/asking a question, and it is not related to the thread subject in anyway.

so why post a unrelated post in this thread to begin with? Increase your posts/thread reply numbers?

Kaziac kasmadi SG

Hmmm thnks anyway the_fallen...appreciate your reply...
I'm not doing well in my studies...And I don't see a future in it...Going around finding something that can help my future...So I guess I'm gonna join LFI.

the_fallen SG

join any mlm company not because of whatever promises the sales agents told you, but rather instead join any company only because you can identify and aline yourself with the company.

in simpler/layman terms, will the company be able to help/assist you in reaching your goal (with or without) your sales agent's involvement.

there are many other alternatives besides MLM fyi, just look around first and explore..there are lots of employment which are all hands-on too.

Heider Hassan SG

Yup, i couldn't agree more, the_fallen.

the_fallen, you've provided solid value to the people in dealing with their MLM queries. Are you a veteran in the industry?

In any case, Kaziac kasmadi, just to add. Don't look at MLM as a "greener pasture" as compared to your studies. The fact that most networkers quit is mainly due to their lack of business/marketing knowledge and the fact that most are buying on a "hope" or a "dream".

Nevertheless, if you've already become a distributor, I wish all the best and if you have any questions, we will be more than willing to help you.

thanks for your compliments.

regarding your question..that's not important..what's important is that they don't get ripped off by those black sheeps who are irresponsible which makes up the majority to begin with..

ok, i wish to stress out that MLM is a perfectly legit business and one that can lead you to financial independence if you have the tools to help you succeed.

The industry is getting a bad rep is really because of the way the business is being done, not because of the business model. So quit putting generalize statement that MLM is a scam when clearly it is a misleading statement. With regards to people saying it's a pyramid scheme, c'mon enlighten me please.

Yes, it is true the top(MD, VP etc) earns the most but that's just about the same as anywhere in the world right? BUT, the beauty of Network Marketing is that it allows you to build your own "pyramid". The question is which part of the pyramid do you want to be at? So instead of having to work 100% of yourself, it's always better to have 1% of you working spreading across 100 people.

But if I am being perfectly honest, that's not the reason why people are against MLM.That's just pure ignorance and lack of understanding. Instead, it is really because it doesn't allow you to become a legit entrepreneur.

Why?

a) You don't own anything (products, downline, company)

b) The only way that you are able to stand out from the competition is by standing side by side with your uplines and "duplicating" what he is doing.

c) No automated tools/systems (that creates REAL leverage; when you teach others the same thing, you literally have a franchise)

If your only weapon in Network Marketing is your phone and your ability to withstand rejection, you're fighting tanks with sticks. And as the 21st century unfolds, the problem's going to get worse, not better.

This means you'll be forced to recruit everyday for the lifespan of your business just to combat the constant attrition that will plague your organization thanks to Google.

I appreciate your kind intentions to talk about the contents, but if you want to show-case your "rich-intelligence", kindly OPEN YOUR OWN THREAD, don't attempt to hijack my thread in attempt to build creditability for yourself being a new user.

such a action is a underhand practice which i classify as blacksheep fyi

PLUS: note the subject of my thread posting: "ASK Your Questions"..if you have no questions, and isn't helping out in answering, than you have no business to be here hi-jacking my thread for your own benefits.

you do not post a lot of info which is unasked for..unasked questions with answers posted = junk in my own perspective..so stop unloading your junk in my thread which will only complicate other newbie users who really hope to get their questions answer.

if you want to be a friendly user and contribute in my thread, i'll will welcome any helpful thread replies with open arms, BUT if you come in to hi-jack like you just did, i'll at most give you the same treatment like the other users who tried to flame my threads..

read up past thread replies/post if you don't know the extent of my mlm knowledge.

I can understand. No one enjoys getting a reply like that. At the same time, looking at it from the other side, it's also reasonable why someone like me will want to protect their industry real image and its potential.

In my mind, there's nothing wrong with providing an information that will serve the forum better, but there's nothing wrong with someone trying to stop it either given that you are the owner of this thread.

I apologized for any misunderstanding and made an adjustment in my reply with your concerns considered.

After the dust settles we remember we'll only be on the planet for a short time--we're all on the same team--or we can be.

We all have ego's and they can be a powerful thing. You flexed your legal muscle, but that's not my arena. My arena is social media and transparency. By posting this, I have accepted the consequences it will bring (possibly escalation of being banned, alienating a few readers, etc.)

Like it or not all of us are leaders in this industry just as you are. To be divided means less success for all involved, including those coming here and being confused by the matter.

I think it's time for some healing. That could actually turn a negative into a big positive.

before you can do all those mention in your post above which i've quoted..learn the culture and practice of the new terrain you're entering..

not knowing the culture = committing suicide (having said that, the rest is history)

plus the other thing..you may not understand the idea of junk in my definition..so i'll quote a simple layman example..

example #1 >> everyday people who live in HDB flats get flyers at their 1) their letterbox and 2) their unit/doorstep..

how does those flyers/advertisment end up in >> rubbish bin or used to store bones for food before throwing away..

value of giving unwanted info = it builds a rubbish image of your services delivery.. and the likelihood of you getting leads/queries from unhappy clients = 0%..

example #2 >> would you like others to nag at your when they are telling their story not related to you in anyway >> often our mothers will be doing the nagging when the issue/problem isn't related to us in anyway..than you'll turn off/pissed off than relationship gets worse..

as for your arena whatsoever..you're in the wrong place fyi.. example #3 >> you don't tell a cat owner that you can cure her beloved cat problems when you're a baby specialist right? (and that is being completely irrelevant)

think about customer service and sales for reference if you still don't know

if you still want to unload your junk..don't do it in my thread at the very least.

Don't slap yourself in the face>> refer to highlight text in red in my quote of your reply..>>you know others don't like..but you still do it..

Lastly >>Don't reply back..in this thread..do it in private message (PM me) if you want to explain etc..i can listen/read but i don't want junk which are non-related to confuse the readers in this forum..knowing that it is in no way related to the subject of the topic.

Thank You for your cooperation.
