i know there is but does she really know someone from every pyramid scheme business around?

i buy mary kay. the woman i buy it from is married to a doctor and likely had the means to invest in her own business with personal money. in her case, that money paid off. She does very well and this has been her primary source of income for a long time. I consider her successful at her profession.

I worked with woman in lafayette who sold lumi who quit her job and is driving the beamer they company bought her, except she is maintaining her sales. She knows a lot of well to do tennis ladies who want to keep slim in an all natural way. She doesnt push people to sign up. She just knows her market and sells well.

My parents were dumb and did amway years ago. they sucked at it like 90% of the people who get involved in MLM suck at sales. But, I was introduced to some people who were successful (in the 90s) with the company. Exception. not the rule, i will admit.

A girlfriend of mine sells plexus to all the fat chicks at her church (its a big church). she chooses to be a stay at home mom, and has decent spending money from that niche.

i actually hate mlm companies. My parents threw a lot of dollars at nothing during my childhood.

But, a good salesman can sell anything, especially if its a decent product. (amway had some bad arse concentrated cleaners and vitamins for an excellent value for example).
