1. There are three percent in MLM who have the gift of talk and who can get someone to join in an opportunity even at the airport or on the plane. These people are rare and can't be duplicated. There about 27 percent out there who are teachable and are willing to learn, and if they were taught a duplicatable system, they would be successful. But 99 percent of these people join under poor leadership and fail. Then there are the 70 perceters who will not listen to you, who are not teachable, and are not willing to follow a duplicatable system -- and are doomed to fail. Anyone who follows Dale Calvert, knows he is the real deal and who a long time ago created a duplicatable system. What he teaches is not fu fu dust or magic. Dale tells it like it is, and he tells the truth in which the truth sometimes hurts. When you listen to this man speak about MLM, you get a much different perspective of the industry. The bottom line is 99 percent of the people in MLM are doing it wrong, and are doomed to fail. As for MLM being a pyramid scheme, which many companies are, they are pyramid schemes if most of the products are sold with distributors. If a certain percentage of product is sold through pure retail sales (can't remember the exact percentage) -- which Amway achieves by selling lots of product to non distributors -- it's not.

8. Hello no........Over 90 percent people lose money in this scam
9. No all MLMs are created equal. Most good MLMs wants their members to succeed for obvious reasons
10. Modern pyramid schemes generally do not blatantly base commissions on the outright payment of fees, but instead try to disguise these payments to appear as if they are based on the sale of goods or services. The most common means employed to achieve this goal is to require a certain level of monthly purchases to qualify for commissions. While the sale of goods and services nominally generates all commissions in a system primarily funded by such purchases, in fact, those commissions are funded by purchases made to obtain the right to participate in the scheme. Each individual who profits, therefore, does so primarily from the payments of others who are themselves making payments in order to obtain their own profit. – Source FTC Division of Marketing Practices James Kohm
11. "B.S. meter" lol
12. a subsidiary of World Financial Group tried to recruit me. I googled it. You're right - they're into some shady stuff.
13. I'd hold that MLM is a pyramid scheme, where the product is a technicality thrown in to "legitimize" the business.
14. I had an old friend from elementary school call me up out of the blue. I was so excited she thought of me, then she started her shpeal. Broke my heart!
15. #Leonard Viltz Yep Dave is right about the Wild Wild West thing in MLM and he said four or five different ones? Most MLM company forbid you from doing that. I hope he meant an affiliate business that only sell big ticket items of over $1,000 or more. For a one time purchase. @Trollamollex
16. sounds like multi level marketing makes you a bad person
17. I just started a network marketing. And the fact I earn money in 3 ways. Not all by recurite, that's just the Bouns. but I help people save on their traveling and earn. I have a self booking site and I earn money. But it all depends on what network working you join. An to my understanding Network marketing and MLM is two different thing. I love what I do.
18. the economy is changing dramatically is Minecraft a lot of companies are going under because network marketing is the new way companies create apps for their customers to use it's easy for their customers to download them and there is there's a lot of network marketing companies have apps for their customers and all they got to do is download the app and become a customer
19. that's why I thought of people in traditional business see network marketing because in traditional business you have to worry about workers comp liability employee issues people in network marketing have no liability no pero no cash flow none of that stuff they have to deal with the company deals with all that
20. apps and Technology have taken over the world that's why I lot of companies are going to network marketing because it's the way of the future 20 years ago nobody knew what network marketing is today there's thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of companies going to network marketing because it's the new way
