tttoye asked:

This MLM/Network Marketing biz is the simplest I have seen and it has a lot of freebies one can enjoy. I discovered that getting people to join is very difficult. Please advise me on how to get downlines for my business.

Is there even a single MLM company that focuses more on sales than recruiting?

MLM
Marcello asked:

I just want to hear about one MLM company, just one, where the emphasis is on sales, not on recruiting.
Let me clarify, I am in no way interested in joining any MLM, so don’t bother. I am merely interested in hearing if any MLM’s exist that actually are about sales, and not a pyramid scheme. And please, don’t tell me focusing predominantly on recruiting to make money is not pyramiding.
Mexico4me, i think you need learn what leverage actually is rather than just accepting a term from your MLM buddies.

In your silly example you merely transfered the hours worked to your downline without changing the total hours worked. Suddenly we are to believe that you are still making the same amount of money working no hours yet your downline makes money as well? So because you merely spread the hours worked out among more people the company is paying out more money? Right. Do the math.

This is my EXACT point. MLM is set up with the mentality that its better to make money by recruiting people than it is to work hard.

You are delusional if you suggest that is about sales first. You have said in prior answers that no one sells enough personal volume to make a living without a downline and that is precisely why MLM is flawed. Its about making money recruiting (a pyramid) not about sales. The fact that some product is sold doesn’t negate that fact.
Sunny, saying MLM is part franchising is merely MLM tag lines, aka propaganda to justify to the naive.

Think about what you are suggesting. Most people are not sales driven, yet you are telling them its the same as a franchise.

Can you actually imagine a franchise operation that didn’t first sell product? Gee, your new franchise is not moving any product, here is the answer, just open up more franchises! Brilliant.

Only in MLM are foolish principals like this accepted as intelligent.

Are there any sites that give prompts on how to deal with aggresive MLM recruiters?

MLM
realsaltlakesoccer asked:

I’m dealing with a recruiter for a MLM (multi-level marketing) company that I’m not interested in. I want to tell them I’m not interested but I’m looking for a site that has questions that they’re going to ask me and responses to those questions.

My main reasons for not going into this: 1. I have a good job and am able to support a family of 8 on my income alone. 2. I don’t believe that anyone can make money but sitting around their house all day long as your Region Vice President claims. 3. Why do none of your people seem to have a college, much less high-school, education? 4. Why do you seem more interested in recruiting people than selling a product?

I would like to know how they’re likely to reply to those questions and how I should counter. I can just say, “No, I’m not interested and keep saying it until they give up, but I want to give a good reason too.”
