re: The Dream: A Podcast About MLMs

The thing I think is interesting is that while they're very scripted, they make posts constantly and they're varied, so I'm guessing they give them "themes" to use or the like rather than just truly scripted posts, but who knows.

These companies teach them to be aggressive. Don't take no for an answer. The more people see it, they are more likely to inquire about it, etc.

On the podcast, this one lady told a story of a friend she hadn't talked to in 4 years. She up and sent her a message asking how she was doing and how were the kids doing in school. The girl replied and the other girl's reply to her was pretty much like "Good to hear. Hey, I am so close to earning a cruise. All I need to do is sell x amount of this product. Can I depend on you to buy _________________". She never replied back to her.

But that is what they spend their time doing.

One MLM would use their model to sell people. Sell the idea that all they had to do was get 5 people under them who are all able to get 5 people under them and those people all work to get 5 under them, they could be making $1M within a year.

While I guess it's possible, if someone starts out and is able to get their five people. Those five people will likely be going after many of the same people.. Because the pool of people who will actually buy into is is a lot smaller than the people you know. So they are running press all the time.
