I understand that all sales orginizations are heirachical. So, what is more fair letting your ability to recuit, training and sell dictate your ability to succeed or some managers view on your ability. Absolutly MLM exploits people's delusions of their own abilities against reality, but so does just about every other money making opportunity. I personally wouldn't waste my time on selling something again unless I'm the low cost producer or have a unqiue selling proposition even then there's huge risk of failure.

It's only a disaster if you pay for a policy and they have no intention of honoring it. If the insurance is legit then finding a way to sell it to people who tend to resist it is a good way to make money.<br /><br />Worst case scenario seems to be that people end up with too much insurance.<br /><br />If the product is legit then MLM seems like it can work depending on efficiency, compensation and margins. In other words if the product is desirable, a good value and subject to repeat purchase then MLM can be okay.Kris Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661982356619943285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-343037340486968792012-12-11T14:08:51.912+11:002012-12-11T14:08:51.912+11:00My first thought on seeing this is Mussolini.My first thought on seeing this is Mussolini.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-9973395725055581692012-12-11T12:49:34.389+11:002012-12-11T12:49:34.389+11:00John - great piece.
