What are some of the best hypocrisies/claims made in mlm?

Marcello asked:


1-How about its just like any other business…such as buying a franchise - except when you ask to see their income from mlm (or even their upline who supposedly are successful) its suddenly personal income and none of your business. As if you would ever buy a franchise without looking at the working numbers of the same franchise in other locations.

2-How about “its a ground floor opportunity” or “the time will never be the same to get involved” yet on the other hand the entire compensation plan is for people to be continually signing up forever, with it being geometric so 2, 3, 5 years from now, there will need to be exponentially more people needed to be coming in to continue the same oppotunity…but somehow the opportunity is better now than it will be in the future!

3-How about MLM has a system that cuts out the middle man and advertising costs, yet now several layers of people get paid and MLM products are always more expensive than market.

Tons more. Let’s hear ‘em…
haha…i don’t know if its “hypocritical” per se…but this first answer sure is a testament to the mind set of the MLMer. Every second they get, they are always pitching their MLM bullsh*t. LOL. I post a question about hypocrites in MLM and the first post in someone pitching me their MLM. Man, no wonder MLM has such a bad rep…let it go! Priceless.
Mexico4me: Thanks for your amusing response. Why would I have interested in a business that is set up to fail. Anyone with common sense knows that a geometrically growing network, even 2×2, eventually gets so large its unsustainable. You call that residual income…gimme a break.

Obvious I subscribe to a 45 year plan? Nice work, but your ignorance is showing. Would it kill you to even look at my profile first before making assumption. I am a real estate investor by trade and live off income from apartment buildings. You talk of residual income as though an mlm business actually provides such…but you are dependent on the hope that your downline continues to grow at unrealistic rates, where I, as a real estate investor, am merely dependent on people needing a placer to live.

Rants about MLM? Get a clue…i posted a question in regard to the amusing statements you always hear associated with MLM and you get overly defensive….pahleeeeze!

Why are people in my MLM downline concerned that I am living out of my car?

Beelzebub asked:


I am making money hand over fist with my MLM company and sponsoring people and selling product all over the place. However, I am still living out of my car because I have not CHOSEN to live in an apartment. People in my downline, who should be looking up to me because I represent a successful MLM upline, are talking behind my back and I know it. What is their problem?

When an mlm person eventually quits mlm, what is their most common excuse?

torylocker asked:


Seeing that 99.999 % of people that get into mlm end up quiting, I am curious as to their initial reason for getting out. Do they blame ‘negative’ people like me? Do they blame their upline? do they blame their company for making their product too expensive?

Someone I sponsored in my MLM is on the fence, how do I convince her?

Beelzebub asked:


I have this lady I sponsored to an initial rep agreement who is on the fence about spending the $4500 to get initial products. Her excuse is that she is 79 and really does not know how to sell the products once she has bought them, but I have told her repeatedly that she needs to get them FIRST before understanding the value of the opportunity.

I get a big commission check if she buys this stuff (as does my immediate upline) so how to I coerce her to buy? Once she buys, I really don’t care if she sells it or not…but I need her to sell it to move up in rank. Help!
