“Ponzi.”
Careful now. That’s the grandfather of our Social, um, Security system.
Sure thing chief. No mention of what a fool a person would have to be to get involved with a scam like Amway. No mention at all about the thousands of poor saps that have destroyed their families and bankrupted themselves pursuing their elusive dream of money for nothing. And for sure no mention that anybody curious what all the fuss is about should visit http://www.merchantsofdeception.com/.
You’re not selling NoWay products are you?
Your Marklar are wise and true, young Marklar.
Why?
Careful now. That’s the grandfather of our Social, um, Security system.
Post of the Day!
(S)he must be. Notice how that one single statement was made, with no responses. I can just see him posting it with "proper visualization and motivation".
I wonder if he got up and danced for joy after he hit the "submit" button.
Whether it was selling Amway, Rexall or Tupperware, it was always not so much about selling the product as getting OTHER PEOPLE under me (in my "downline") to sell the products. Of course, those other people would have to get still more people to agree to sell these products before they made any money.
It always involved some kind of "start-up" kit that included some product, a couple of "motivational" videos and some other useless literature for several hundred dollars. Once I got that start-up kit I was part of the club and then if I got other people to buy a start-up kit, I'd get a cut.
At any rate, it's a good way to get friends and family to never call you again and cross to the other side of the street if they saw you coming.
Aww. (blushes).
Great company. Love their detergent.
Our taxes are a Ponzi scheme there are not enough people to pay those who paid in, so you must raise taxes and add more current workers to make up the different.
That is not the trouble with multi level companies.
Multi level is for self starters and not all people are self starters.
Many folks need to work for others when to collect a weekly paid check.
Some MLM think they are wise they well invest their own money (which is frown upon by legit MLM’s), So instead of doing the work and let it grow naturally like a garden, knowing some years are good, some years are poor, until one gets to a point of a steady harvest because they acquired stability with a strong foundation.
I don’t care for Amway tactics but the concepts of MLM are is for mature beings that are self starter and have discipline and very patience’s as the manifestation takes place through exercising faith and hard work.
Class envy reeks on FR too.
How do you think Insurance and Real Estate Company’s work?
What happens in a those companies you train the person so one day they become your competitor instead of a part of you down line!
I have no problem with MLM. However I do have a problem with a sales pitch that hides the fact that you are buying into a MLM. Go ahead and try to get someone in Amway to use the term MLM.
If english isn’t your first language, I’m sure you’re better at it than I am at your native language. If english is your native language, your translation of MLM boilerplate is classic.
Oh get a life you know I am dyslexic..
You are a broken record!
There are pros and cons to every things
nothing is totally one sided!
