Do you once join or are you in these business now?
MLM or Network Marketing which is a very good sales strategy
starts out from the western countries.
Its strategy flow goes like this, a networker sell products to
consumers thus consumers also become a networker so on. This
network expands rapidly and slowly into a human pyramid whereby
people expand from one > two > four and so on...
This kind of business saves rental and advertising fees. Do you
agree? But this business has recently become worse. Many
companies open up to cheat people. Below is a case study extract
from a newspaper.
A 20 yrs old son forces his dad to buy a normal mattress at
$2.7k. He says that the special mattress stimulates blood
circulation, keep one’s fit and when use for a long time, it can
prevent cancer and high blood pressure. Is it so fantastic?
An actually healthy dad gets so mad that he may now have some
symptoms of high blood pressure. He’s been in the business world
for a long time and experienced so many things but never came
across such thing before. It’s not that he can’t afford to buy
that mattress but he thinks that if he buys, it’s like criticize
his knowledge.
His son goes to seminars, meetings and he came home to force his
dad to support him in his business. If his dad doesn’t buy,
he’ll not meet the criteria to be a networker. Showing others
that he never put in effort in his first step towards his
business.
His son was actually in England for his studies. But while
surfing around on the web, he found this company and joins them
so he stopped his studies without informing his parent. As his
parent to motivate him, they have no choice but to allow his son
to continue with his business.
Slowly his dad feels that things are not getting right. He never
goes out to promote his products to other people but only to
their relatives. His company even called him during midnight,
asking him to go for meeting. All his colleagues smoke, drink
and party while listening to successful people experiences.
How would a good company ask people to learn such unhealthy
things?
Most of these companies are just cheater by using pyramid
strategy to con innocent people’s hard earned money.
In the company system, in order to join, you’ve to buy an
expensive product package as the ‘membership fee’ to become a
network marketer. They claim that in one or two month time, you
can earn an income around $100k - $200k. That’s really a lot of
money and very attractive!
Teenagers, who just finish their studies, have not seen the
entire world yet, yearn for immediate success. Their demands are
high so they are easily being brainwash by the MLM Company thus
leading them into coning people and stopping their studies.
Brainwashing method succeeds according to youngsters’ mindset
and needs.
Since than this pyramid selling strategy is name ‘finance ugly
society’.
There are two main points to take note in a pyramid company:
1. The products price is higher than any others and they are not
doing any useful help to our body.
2. The commissions are not from products or services provided,
it comes from other people ‘membership fees’.
Companies claim to have high ROI grab those people who want to
get rich quick, can earn for doing nothing, hope to be
millionaires over midnight to attract young people. Would there
be such good things in the world?
The people, who wanted to get their lost money back, join in the
group to earn back their capital using dirty tricks. This
snowball rolling strategy gets more people being cheated. These
companies denied they are a pyramid company but claims that they
are just network marketing or level selling groups.
So beware and take note of the above points to prevent yourself
from joining into a crap company.
‘No pain, no gain’ is the word.
