Anyway, it seems as though you are assigning "production cost" as "value". No one sells anything at what it cost them to produce. If that happened, there would be no businesses that made any money. Do you think that it costs Dodge $34k to make a Charger? No way.
Value is not a concrete thing. People assign individual value to things and I find it assumptive of you to think that your idea of value is the same as everyone else's. In fact, one of the strengths of MLM is that people are able to be shown the value of the products. Avon ladies come to your house and do demonstrations, Melaleuca reps will let you try their products so you can see for your self. I let people try my product for themselves and let them make a decision on the value it would provide in their life. I rarely "sell" anything.
I am also done responding to someone who feels the need to tell me to agree with them. So, good luck in your business with 3 employees, it seems at 19 years old you have the business world pinned down. I wish you the best.  |
Sorry for the delayed reply, I didn't came to forums for long time.
I can say I do have first hand experience because I almost opened an mlm myself, until I found it unethical.
Anyway back on topic,
I did say

I know every product has it s margin which go to advertising, profits etc. but in mlm the margin has to be too high to distribute commision.

Everyone definately has to keep its profit, thats business after all.
But what I want to say is. Say there is a product worth 5$(C.P.), if its bought(S.P.) at 10$ it's ok....[fair play for both the seller and buyer] but in mlm its bought at 50$ (because after the product makers 5$ profit, the rest 40$ go as commisions to the upline)
The 'value' of the product is relative to its price. A product well worth the price at 5$, is not worth the price at 50$.
Hence even if there is a quality product, its never worth the price tag on it, in
mlm.
First try to understand the point above, if you understood it, I can prove on the next part why its unethical and a malpractice.
I don't feel the need for you to agree with me, but I have seen people selling their trust, and I feel almost obliged to let people know my experience and information about mlm.
That's the exact reasons, most mlm's are illegal or come in gray areas of law.
anyway I don't want to get to those part or It will never end,
I am definately trying to pin up myself in business world, but its a long way to go. Thanks for your kind words and best of luck to you too.
