I went to sleep when watching this video.

Nice! Sooo true Mr. Sales! Thanks for the great tools!

Lol Tim you are the Man! :-)

The Vegas quote is from Dr. Jon Taylor, of MLM The Truth. He was in the top 1% of NUskin and was a Blue diamond member. I think this qualifies him as a success. He has a Phd and knows how to gather research. He has interviewed hundreds of tax accountants + 16 years research and also concluded that only those at the top of the Pyramid make money. Lets follow the money. Tim Sales sells MLM training and leads. Dr. Taylor is selling nothing. On this alone, who do you think is lying?

@sbohandley well you have answered your question , If Dr Jon was successful and was a top 1% producer that means he proved that people can succeed if they wanted to, So what's your point? and i know that any one who has the desire to succeed can succeed because i did so myself, My current income is $ 250,000/year at this level.

@skhancanada01 Awesome! Some people are just very ignorant!

[sbohandley]

@skhancanada01 The "POINT" was missed, because that was discussed in a previous posting, not the one you saw. The "Point" is, Dr. Taylor was very high up in the outfit, was "successful" in the sense that he took in money and was pretty high up on the Pyramid, but after the expense of running a successful recruiting campaign to replace the 95% of MLM drop outs. MLM is in a state of constant collapse and new recruits simply replace drop outs. In 30 years, MLM has increased market share.

[Liior]

@sbohandley You really think that It's a "pyramid"? And only the people at the top make money? I'm sorry but that is so ignorant! I'm guessing you either were in network marketing and had no success or had people tell you about how bad it is.

[sbohandley]

@Liior Independent esearch, supported by worldwide feedback, suggests that the more a person invests in an MLM in time, effort, and money, the more he/she loses – which is true of any scam. Committed MLM participants may continue investing thousands, and even tens of thousands of dollars, over many years before running out of money or giving up.

[sbohandley]

@Liior Conversely, in legitimate companies, sales persons are not expected to stock up on inventory or subscribe to monthly purchases. But in MLM, incentivized purchases (required to participate in commissions and/or advancement) are merely disguised or laundered investments in a pyramid scheme.

[carsonc29]

@sbohandley that is not entirely accuracte..some mlms may make buy inventory, some do not..you will have to clarify your claims with some stats, give a few examples of some mlm companies, what they cost to get into, and what exactally they make you buy every month to be a member?

[sbohandley]

@carsonc29 You are correct that not all MLM's make you stock up on inventory, but EVERY true MLM makes you buy their stuff to qualify for commission. Examples of this are the pills, potions and lotions with various companies. What is a true MLM and what is true direct selling and be determined quite easily. Go to Dr. Jon Taylors website MLM the Truth and do his MLM quiz. If the given MLM has 3 out of 5 red flags, its a product based Pyramid Scheme.

[carsonc29]

@sbohandley i would have to disagree with you on that, maybe some like amway or mary kay make you buy stuff just to qulaify for commmission due in part to you have to have stuff to sell, but to still generakize ALL mlms as doin something would mean you can provide a list of even the top 20 mlms with detailed info on how they operate to back up the claim...if those can be provided then that can alluminate your points alot more effectively

[sbohandley]

People fail because the system itself dooms nearly all participants to failure. MLM is built on an endless chain of recruitment of participants as primary customers. It assumes both infinite markets and virgin markets, neither of which exist. It is therefore inherently flawed, fraudulent, and profitable only for founders and those at or near the top of their respective pyramids of participants. Even with their best efforts, the vast majority will always lose money.

[CGCskeptic]

It's like the star athlete paradox -- Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky were great players, but that didn't translate into their being great coaches or GMs. Being a good coach requires special talents that are not the same as those required to play the sport. The same applies to teachers and investigative journalists.

It boils down to a viewpoint that ensures uncritical acceptance of the "guru", be it the businessman or a cult leader or MLM tools salesman.

[CGCskeptic]

He forgets the 4th author type: Someone who is trying to sell you something. He is actually profiting from convincing you that you can succeed in MLM -- with his tools. Also, his logic is very flawed, for he focuses on the source of the information and not the information itself. A successful person may not be able to effectively communicate his ideas, he may have a misconception of what it is that made his success, or he may be unwilling to impart his secrets.

[RandomCowboy]

Way to bait people with common sense and then throw out the bullshit.

[webmastershue]
