I forgot just what post I wrote this in, but I remember recently I was
responding to someone (probably that jerk from Team 21 or whatever he
called himself) and one point I made was that over 99.9% of the people
that go into an MLM don't make much money or lose it.
First, I've forgotten the figures, so if someone can refresh my memory,
if I remember, I think it's that 95% of people lose money and less
than .001% make enough to make a living at it or to be "wealthy." Is
that right, or do I misremember? And does anyone know what percentage
of people in an MLM (or any particular MLMs) go into significant debt
(you can define significant in some other way, but we'll go with debt
over $1,000)?
Second, and this is my thought for a question or objection:
If 95% of all the people who go into an MLM lose money, then if you're
trying to help someone, doesn't that mean that 19 out of 20 people that
you help to join the company will lose money and be hurt by your MLM?
I like to phrase questions so there is a direct contrast in them that
can "slap" a person in the face with the comparison and leave them
trying to figure out the obvious difference between what they say and
what I'm stating as a fact. For example, Quackstar admits that less
than .1% of their IBDrones "make it." That gives one a chance to use
that figure against them and point out that if they're trying to help
someone, if only .1% of the IBDrones make it, that means if they help
one person, they've done it by hurting 999 others financially.
I haven't seen this used as a good question yet in dealing with MLMers,
but it seems to be a strong point that I haven't yet heard countered.
Any suggestions on how to use this and good ways to phrase it? Does it
bring up any other good probing questions?
