Nuts and Bolts!
Nuts and Bolts!
We Got Screwed!
The silly high school cheer came to mind when I was thinking about the people that have been scammed in Network Marketing.
- The Mary Kay lady that liked the eye shadow, but will never use the $1,500 worth of make-up in her garage.
- The Amway distributor with hundreds of tapes is his garage, none of which taught him to sell products and sponsor people.
- The Melaleuca Rep. that doesn’t think she is involved with MLM.
I could go on. In fact, you probably have a story about someone (perhaps yourself) being scammed in MLM.
Do a Google Search for MLM and the first 3 entries are:
MLM Watch – Exposes pyramid schemes get-rich hype and dubious product claims. Authored by
Stephen Barrett, MD of Quackwatch.MLM Survivor – Are Amway and other Multi-Level Marketing businesses what they claim to be?
Lawsuits, personal experiences, and information available here.What’s Wrong With Multi-Level Marketing? – Provides an in-depth analysis of MLM and areas to be avoided. Includes links to
anti-MLM research and information.
Why is that?
Because our industry has not embraced the things that make it great…..yet.
Hi Ty,
I was once involved with Amway/Quixtar and I think I still have boxes of tapes to throw out. Remember what they used to say (and probably still do)"The first thing you need to do to become successful is get plugged into the system of tapes,books and seminars (and remember if your don't have the money to attend a function then sell your tv or something, you don't need it. As far as reading don't read the newspaper there is never any good news. You need to get onto book of the month and the weekly pacesetter tapes." I remember this only too well. It's actually quite embarassing to think that I did get plugged in and wasted all that money! Maybe I should pack all my tapes up and mail them to Dexter Yager. Who wants to take part?
