They all promise high earnings yet the reality as far as I can see is very different for the majority of people.
This is why I find it unethical, if you are making money from it then it is a direct result of the people below you struggling to earn a pathetic pittance.
Of course, this is only my opinion from my perspective. Just because I find it unethical doesn't mean that others have to agree. The point of a discussion is to learn about other perspectives, and that is why I am sharing mine. |
However, the people that work in MLM are paid in direct proportion to the effort they put in. This is a more fair business model than a salary could be considered, as I'm sure we've all worked with people who don't pull their fair share, and SOME OF US are passionate about what we do and are always striving to innovate and serve at the highest possible level. You find that much more prevalent when you're in control of the amount of money you make.
With a lot of MLMs, it's not the pay schedule that's the problem, it's the prospecting. So many network marketers will just tell everyone they know and hope to find some super stars. If they were good networkers, which is the whole idea, they would qualify their prospects much better, instead of deteriorating their network by verbally spamming people who aren't interested OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
