Multi Level Marketing

[Lowcountrydupre]

I am curious to know if any non retired full timers do MLM to earn a living. If so what company do you work with?

If you are a really good sales person and have no qualms about approaching and alienating every friend you ever had, you just might make it. It's not going to work if you travel as you really have to push the people you recruit to sell more and recruit more. You cannot make money by simply signing people up and moving on. They WILL drop out and you will make nothing. They will lose money and you will have made nothing. Now there's a formula for making friends!

BINGO!

My downstairs nabe is deep in the Land of MLM.
All social conversations lead to a sale or come-on to enjoy his new found life.
Wish he'd go back to making pottery.

I avoid him.
Politely.

That shouldn't be shoved onto me or my family. I shouldn't have to tell someone when I am at an RV park that I am not interested in buying soap, that I am not interested in find Jesus, that I am not interested in investing in a perpetual motion machine or anything else. Keep all your business proposals, propositions and sales pitches out of the campgrounds, please.

MLM is considered a 'career'?

There is another thread running about bad neighbors in a campground, and I would much rather have them next to me than someone trying to recruit me to sell overpriced soap and vitamins. If you are into MLM, fine, but please, please, please do not consider the other campers and guests at RV parks and campgrounds as potential customers or whatever else you call the people you sign up. We are on our leisure time, not looking for "career opportunities".
