a bunch of guys in my area fell into Amway a couple years ago and it seemed like i was getting a facebook message every week from people i'd never met. they just knew me through a friend of a friend of a friend. and since i was from the same nowhere towns of iowa as them, i'd be all for supporting them. I still have no idea what Amway is. whenver they brought it up, I just said i was busy with my job.

These aloe vera gels have taken years off my skin. And thanks to these supplements I've lost over 4 pounds! All while running a business that fits in with my perfect family life. Wait a sec, just gotta post an inspirational quote to Facebook.

More than 28,000 Scentsy Consultants and guests are registered to attend Spring Sprint 2012, that's 10,000 more than last year! Attendees will be among the first to get amazing training, see new Scentsy warmers, smell yummy new fragrances, and test the exciting Layers by Scentsy products. Attendees may even get a look at Velata, the very tasty fondue brand recently announced by Scentsy, Inc. Yes a fondue that people read as Velveeta the first time they read it, excellent

Well, I recently finished my degree and was working for a successful PR agency, but me and my husband decided we wanted to be in control of our own futures so we spent our savings, sold the house, and quit our jobs to focus on our business! We will be fully retired in two years. We would love to have you on board with us while we start up.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:the head pagan of my uni's officially unofficial wicca coven threw one of these avon parties for a free bag of makeup without realizing this would make her a consultant, and a collection agency hit her up a month later for $3,000. we broke up two weeks later after i paid to get her nipples pierced. Pistol_Pete posted:You make it sound as if the piercing was nonconsensual. and that's hot So would nipple piercer for hire be a stepping stone to murderer for hire, or would it be more of a lateral move for an established murderer for hire who wants to slow down a little bit?

Is Avon a pyramid scam? And Mary Kay? I know Primerica is, my mom had a woman at her work keep bugging her to come to an information session until I heard about it and put a stop to it. This person never even talked to my mom until she heard that we'd sold some property and made good money on it...it's kind of a sickness.

TOOT BOOT posted:This is a very accurate impression of some MLM guy that cornered me in Barnes and Noble once. This recently happened to me at a Trader Joe's. I couldn't tell if the guy was a liar or just an idiot. I made some reference to the enormous mall 15 miles away and he claimed never to have heard of it despite him saying he had lived here for a year, which is definitely not suspicious at all.

metricchip posted:Is MLM basically a fanatical religion? Not to get all edgemaster here but these descriptions remind me of pushy street preachers. I'll field this one. To a point there is a certain amount of "conditioning" that goes into them all. They find people that are susceptible to these schemes and recruit them. The ones who stand up in opposition are escorted from the premises and threatened with legal action, if they persist. So there is a "cult mentality" to any MLM. It's just more pronounced then most. If you went to any of the MLM meetings and compared it to a very insular religious circle, you would find many similarities.

What they do is get you excited to make money, then get a list of ten close friends/family members from you and say they will "train" you, and take you to a sales pitch where you're all excited and your friend/family is like "ok I'll listen I trust you" Then a HARD sales pitch. Almost arm twisting. If they make one or two sales great. If they make a BIG sale they'll try to recruit your friend/family, and get their list of ten people. Repeat. When you've been wrung dry if people they can make money off of they send you to GOLD STAR TRAINING COURSE which is an unairconditioned warehouse whalers they yell at you for 14 straight hours every day until you quit.

The knife in question is actually surprisingly good. It stacks up nicely against our OXO Good Grips knives. Cutco is still scammy as gently caress, but the physical product itself is fine.

kirby vacuums are like this too strict script, if you don't follow it you get in trouble there's a thing with a clear top you hook up instead of the bag, you put a flat filter in it, to show all the dirt that the other vacuum left behind. you're supposed to vacuum spots all over their house, first with their vacuum, then with the kirby once you're done you're supposed to lay the old vaccum down on the floor and 'bury' it in the dirty filters, i am not loving kidding also when out scouting for doorbells to ring, we were told to look for boats, cars that 'cost too much,' etc. looking for people who are willing to make payments on things kirby vacuums are good but not $1600 good and the sales poo poo is a rip off I also had some strange lady contact me via facebook with a total MLM makeup selling scheme, and she did the whole bright and excited thing it weirded me out

Is Herbalife confirmed as an enormous scam yet? I used to visit a completely insipid place with a house which had both a Herbalife distributor sign on the door and a fully stickered-up Audi and I'd be genuinely annoyed if they weren't having their lives ruined by it.

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:kirby vacuums are like this too worst job ever and never let those people in your house. they hire absolutely anybody and then just drop them off in a neighborhood until they get chased out by the cops. my roommate did it for 2 months and ended up making $500 working 40-60 hours a week, so about $1.25 an hour to go into random people's trailers and try to get them to buy a vacuum worth more than their life. it was nice to have around the house though.

I had a friend in college who no poo poo bought one of those $80 300 piece knife collections that they always have commercials for late at night because he was totally just going to flip them for huge profit by selling them out of his dorm room to everyone else in student housing. I still have the little 1" pocket knife he gave me as a sample (first taste is free I guess?). I dont think his enterprise ever really took off and I kinda wonder what the campus PD would have said about his combination dorm room/discount knife depot
