@mrsinclair1977 Well said. Competitive pricing is certainly not everything. I hate shopping at Wal-mart, not because I don't like saving money, but because I hate shopping in general and when I go I want service. So, yes, what you say is on the mark. However, if you don't take any consideration of retail markup, then you'll lose in MLM because most people don't want to pay 3 or 4 times the value of a product simply for good service. There's a balance.

@LarryABlake: Well yeah, then i guess it depends on the company if MLM is a Pyramid scheme. If you have a "good" MLM company that focuses mainly on selling the product to the end user, it's not a Pyramid Scheme - it depends entirely on how the company handles it.
LarryABlake (June 23, 2010 at 10:46 pm)
@Supenmanu In that case, of course, that's pretty close. The truly good MLM companies do not provide any kind of commission or profit for the startup kits. I also do not believe in selling for the sole purpose of recruiting, nor do I believe in signing up for the sole purpose of recruiting to the neglect of selling. But I did misunderstand what you were saying, and for that I apologize.

@LarryABlake: I didn't say that it's a Pyramid Scheme if you have startup costs. I said: If you have to pay money at the beginning just to get started AND get money for recruiting others (who also have to pay the startup fee), then it's a pyramid scheme. In other words if ONE of your MAIN ways to sell the product is to get others to buy the product by promising them they can sell it again, it's a Pyramid Scheme. Of course i am not attacking anyone - i am just giving the correct definition.
LarryABlake (June 21, 2010 at 9:27 pm)
@Supenmanu In this post of yours, you demonstrate vividly that you do not know whereof you speak. When one comes into MLM, one does not go to work for a company. One BECOMES a company, in business for oneself. When one goes into business, there are ALWAYS startup costs.
Supenmanu (June 12, 2010 at 4:58 am)
He gives the wrong definition of a Pyramid scheme. Because even with a real and interesting product it can still be a Pyramid scheme. If you have to pay money at the beginning just to work for them and then make your money by selling the product AND recruiting people, then it's a pyramid scheme. Only if you either don't get money for recruiting or don't have to pay money to start working is it not a Pyramid scheme (it can also be like labor for which you don't get paid at the beginning.)

@rezatavassolian Since you said its a pyramid scheme because the top guy makes money off all the guys on the branches and its an impossible model. most likely you failed in the industry before.and i would like to tell you something , your boss earn lesser than what you earn?so your telling me if your a new recruit you should earn more than your boss?in which industy can u earn more then your boss?use your brains pls

success in MLM comes to those who think with an entrepreneurial mindset rather than an employee mindset
