Ok. Since you asked - here goes.....
1. MLM is fatally flawed as a business model for distributors - It is
DEGIGNED to make 99% distributors fail - why ? because of pt #1 in
your post - about products being good for "own use". Since you are a
management student, I am sure you can figure that one out.
2. Your assertion that people who eat at restaurants are somehow
"losers" is very MLM conditioned - I have heard similar things from
other bots - why watch TV when you can recruit, or even play golf when
you can recruit ? I suppose winners only eat at restaurants when they
can recruit everybody at the restaurant. So I would suggest that you
drop this nonsensical crap - because lots of people eat at restaurants
because they LIKE to....
3. Your assertions about MLMs reducing distribution costs are patently
false - if you compare prices of comparable products of any MLM to
prices at Walmart or online retailers like amazon.com - you will see
MLM products are outrageously overpriced - The only way you can sell
at those prices is to a captive market - that is - to distributors -
even that by hyping MLM products by making mostly baseless claims
about their superiority.
4. The BIGGEST LIE in MLM is actually that you are guaranteed to
succeed if you work hard.
5. MLM is not like any other business - so stop making that absurd
comparision - and buying products for personal use does not constitute
an "investment"
And finally, here's something for you to ponder. ABSOLUTELY nothing
you have said here is new. There are no revelations here - ask
yourself how many 1000s of people -on this forum or elsewhere have
made the same analysis as you and failed - and ask yourself why that
may be ? Maybe you will learn something.
