I'll start removing the flyers whenever I see one.
My friend started working for Quixtar (a very popular MLM, google Quixtar for more info) company since January. I tried many times to tell him to quit his so-called business because the company is giving false promises. Promises like early retirement, five-figure income on a monthly basis, time rich and money rich, and etc. are luring new members each month. Unfortunately after several attempts, I failed to convince him.
I recently attended a two-day function prepared by Quixtar and I was hesitant to go but he bought me the admission pass. I could not BELIEVE IT!
The business concept was brilliant! I bet the top management team, board of directors, owners of the company are raking in $$. The function had motivational speakers, live performances, seminar, product promotions, and more motivational speakers.
All attendees were hyped up, motivated, energized, and ready to STP after the conclusion of the function. But of course, I saw the big picture and my opinions about the MLM company did not change.
Here is an excellent article about multi-level marketing (MLM):
