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.
Any company that focuses more on sales than recruiting by definition is not multi level marketing. This is why you never see MLM companies whose main focus is not on recruiting (regardless of what people in MLM will tell you).
Its amusing to hear some of the answers.
"The power of duplication"??? – what exactly are they duplicating. People in MLM are their biggest customers! So, they are duplicating selling nothing and signing up everyone they can think of to sell nothing (other than to themselves) as well. Its funny when you think about how the MLM corporation is set up, they merely make money by having people sign up for a dream who buy all this product of their own. THEY MAKE NEARLY ALL THEIR MONEY OFF THE REPS BUYING THEIR OWN PRODUCTS! The fact that the corporations are doing well is merely a testament to the fact that they were very good at convincing their reps to buy a lot of product.
"My company focuses on 5 areas". Right, but they tell you the only way to make real money is to recruit. Why do you think no one chooses to make big money selling instead choosing to recruit? Because the MLM dream is based on making money by recruiting, not selling product. Sure, you need to meet your minimums, but most do this buying their own product.
What value do store owners give to their employees? Are you KIDDING me??? Its called a paycheck! If its a commissions job, then they earn commission on their sales. Meanwhile, most people in MLM lose money because they don’t focus on personal sales.
If MLM was about sales, 90% of the people who enter MLM would never join. MLM organizations are not made up predominantly of sales people.
