My Experiences with different MLM/Networking Companies

[salaryloans]

---

Here are my experiences about these networking companies:

1. Forever Living

Ne post sila og ad sa skul namo, part time job daw sus pag college pato naku. Then netext ko sa number provided on the ad kahuman meet man daw sa jollibee dha raintree mall. La pa man ko alamag ato so adto sad ko.

Ang ne meet nako kay student pud sya bringing mahalon na cellphone with a folder naay pictures sa kato na milyonaryo, nya photocopy sa cheques etc.

Then, I got a feeling di jud ne mao da! Besides she forced me to be convinced through her statements. I attacked her, like unsa man na nyoha products kinsa man sad ang target market ana. Di sya musulti. Sge sya ingon sa sunod na daw meeting etc... I end up walking out!

2. Herbalife

I received a flyer part time job earn 4,000-20,000php a month. Ang venue sa Cebu Midtown Hotel. Didto sad ko libog ko why pa-adto-on mi. I asked the receptionist ingon sya attend lang basin ganahan ka good luck nalang nimo.

Sus, I saw a lot of people there kana na-a na sa top kana supervisors. They were so energetic sge pakpak everytime they boast their earnings and how much they lost. Then ang price sa ilaha products my gosh 2,000+php. I was thinking kinsa man tawn mo palit ane ui. I am quite a pleaser and buotan man sad to nag-recruit naku I end up buying the products. I paid up around 2000+ ato kay na-ikog ko. After that wala na jud ko ne text o ne pakita. My supervisor is an employee of globe pa jud ato. Ambot napa kaha sya ato.

3. Loadextreme (Winmax, og uban pa)

I was a member of 2 of the money mlm companies sa load. Kay 300php ra ang membership can afford ra man me. Kay load baya bisan kinsa tawo mo palit og load. The thing is all of these people push through of recruiting jud para makakwarta og dako. I was thinking unsa naman sad mahitabo if tanan tawo member na, na recruit na. Wala nakay baligya-an.

I was recruited kana members sa UNO, I-GEN portal (sauna) og unsa pa na dha ne exist ron. I don't have anything against this ha... through times I became open minded on issues like these but one question ra jud ako-a, " If the products they are selling is affordable to the masses and need ba jud?" I am more of a seller not a recruiter. So this means a lot to me.

Mao na ne stick jud ko og selling load ron from loadcentral and I don't need to recruit para makakwarta, kay it has proven track record na and load ra ako baligya which is consumable and dili mo balor og 7,000php to join pareha ana uban. I am a member of Avon sad but ne tagam ko bisan direct selling sya kay lisud kung utang... Maayo ra karon then kung maningil na wala dayun kwarta daganan pud ta.

Congratulations sa mga nadatu sa MLM or Networking! Kato uban gusto madatu it's best to find other means to become rich other than MLM coz it's really frustrating and disappointing pud mu join and then you start to question yourself asa naman to kwarta ako gi-bayad para ma member wala man nabalik naku...

One thing I know for sure, I am not a hypocrite, I am not good at making bulatiks para mu join ang uban tawo... I am a very honest person so I tell the truth not making up stuff for my own sake.


Kamo what are your experiences?

I also believe that network marketing in not for everyone. The most important thing about failure in network marketing is we learned a lot especially in business mindset which i also got in Network Marketing.

General speaking, Find your nice and be expert on it. Whether it is traditional business or network marketing.

I have a photocopy of an article about how amway failed in United States.

Co-sign.

This justifies the chart that illustrates a less than 1% success rate with Amway, and in fact, most MLMs.

@ salaryloans: you got a point.

For your Info Bro, Amway kay wala nagdugay sa US mao na nibalhin diri pinas, then since la gihapon nagclick mao na ila gibuhat ang NETWORK 21.

wa tay dag,anan ana bay. ang naka.apan nimo mu judge dayun ka wla pka kasulod ug event, wla pka gpkita sa business plan, wla pa pud ka kasuway ug products. you think that you know things about amway but what do you know? did someone from amway approach you and told u about it?

network 21 is created by a member of amway corporation. he shared his skills, experience, and secrets on how to build the business properly para mu.successful ang mga tao involved in the business.

network21 is not created by amway. it is a separate entity.

pls. check out their websites para makasabot ka.

1% success rate? ngano 50 years naman ang amway?

Kay paspas ang personnel/associate turnover rate. Precisely the reason nganong gasugod na silag advertise sa print ads ug mass media.

50 years in the market, and yet, even in the Philippines, so few Pinoys recognize the name Amway?

That's why market saturation is impossible. Market saturation is just a theory not realistic.
If naa pa lay saturation, tanan na untang tao ron naa na untay auto tanan ug balay kay sauna ra gud na cge baligya ug auto ug balay pero hantod karon cge man gihapon ug baligya. Hehehe! Every seconds naay mamatay ug manganak.

Mao ng saturation, storya2x ra na. Kung naay mu sulti na networker na ilang i saturate ang market, it's too good to be true kay dili jud mahitabo ang saturation because most people quit the business, they don't stick around, every seconds naay mamatay ug manganak.

yup, few only recognize amway because it is an american company. few only recognize uno, foreverliving and etc. they rarely advertise. i compare nimo sa avon, they always advertise. mao na kaila ang mga tao. it's really not because of the turnover rate ngano cla ni advertise. it's about awareness. asa man pud ka kakuha sa idea about sa ilang company? have you worked there as an HR?

What's popular is not neccessarily what's good.

No, but I have been familiar with Amway since 1996 when my relatives from the US introduced the company to me. Whatever enthusiasm they used to have is directly proportional to the frustration they experienced with Amway. And I have lots of batchmates in the US who had the same experience as you probably are: too much enthusiasm at the start, frustration in the end.

The point I am trying to get across is, "A BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN IN THE MARKET FOR 50 YEARS HAS NOT PENETRATED THE COMMON PEOPLE, LEST, A COUNTRY GOBBLED UP BY COLONIAL MENTALITY. For instance, the Philippines.

Let me find the chart I used to post here two years ago. You'll find out how Amway really does in the MLM world.
