MLM Scams? Product? Who cares about the product?

MLM Scams

Who cares about the product?

Try to pay attention, when the guy is trying to sell you on joining the team for whatever MLM is the flavor of the day, to whether or not he says much about the product.

Chances are that if he doesn't want to talk about the product, it is likely a classic MLM in which nobody but the people at the top make any serious money.

The guy selling me on the MLM has tried to avoid talking about the product at all costs. He won't say a word about it, other than to say the product is great, and even when I specifically asked about the product (not what it is - that is mentioned, but how it is sold, who buys it, etc.) he avoided the topic. His main response is that we are not getting into this business in order to sell product. "We are not Avon Ladies" he said a number of times. The focus of these guys is signing people up who will sign more people up, who will sign more people up.

This might last a while, but at the end of the day if nobody is buying product except for the members buying the minimum amounts to keep their monthly balance to stay on as "business partners", the business will not last. This is the type of model in which you, the little guy, will almost defintiely not make any decent money, but only the people at the top do.

So try to get him to talk about product. How can anybody getting into a business not be interested in how the product sells, who the market for it is, and the like? Only if it is a scam.
