Thanks for your help with this research question. You have some
excellent advice and yes, you are very right, MLM companies can be
very decieving.
I should mention that I have worked for several MLM companies and
after a while you become quite used to what is good and what isn't. My
main reason in asking for this research to be done is b/c i do not
have the time to do it. But I not a newcomer to the world of MLM
either.
It really comes down to, if someone has actually worked MLM before.
If you haven't, it is extremely easy to find fault in mlm because
that's what we are taught to believe and/or someone we know has been
burned - something which does happen alot.
Furthermore, mlm, is not a get-rich-qucik scheme and not all mlm
companies work in an illegal or near illegal pyramid-type way. This i
do know. I laugh because when someone asks tells me about the
"Pyramind thing" I can't help but ask them about their own job: " do
you have a boss at the top of the triangle? Do make, can you make as
much money as he/she does? Are you somewhere at the bottom, slugging
away, making less than the levels above??? How can one deny that the
answer is usually yes. LOL
So, really, what I am looking for, is not a warning of "be careful' or
mlm is scary...... or what have you.... rather, I am looking for a
company with good standing in the BBB, who's numbers show that one can
actually make more than $6 / hr, who's representatives really are
doing well, who's field is in a growing one (i.e. communications,
technology, health)... things like that. whose price to get started is
lower than $200, whose very well known or totally brand new, who has
had the least amount of bad promo, garbage said about them, who does a
great deal of community work etc...
You're right, starting one's own mlm IS the way to go, if you have the
right amount of money to start one, that is. This is not something I
am willing to do yet, although i might someday.
I am asking these questions on behalf of about 300 reps who lost their
positions when another mlm company fried a good one. We are all
looking out there for
another opportunity.
Thankyou for putting in the time and effort to do this research for me
and ask excellent questions. I just ask that you treat this question
as if I asked about lightbulbs and I was an electrician. I am asking
you b/c I do not have the time to my own research at the moment.
You guys are awesome! Thanyou for the work you have already done on this. |
