My wife joined an MLM a couple of years ago. She became an associate so she

could get the discount on the products. She puts in orders regularly and sometimes asks others if they want to order. This is about the only level of MLM either of us is interested in. We both really like the products so it made sense to join to get the discount.

Is it as bad as letting my wife go to the gym? Or letting her use Facebook?

5/6/15 10:32am

I have no idea what this guy is talking about here. ⬆️⬆️

Let me differentiate something here: not all MLMs are created equal

I agree. HCBW's MLM does not require reps to buy product, so our risk is zero

Do you mind sharing what your wife's MLM is?

I am curious as well? Which one is it?

I am also curious...this has not been my experience with these companies

Another question: how consistent is that $1800?

jdub

Someone went silent.

kotacoug

5/6/15 11:28am

yeah, I noticed. It's difficult not to read something into that silence.

jdub

5/6/15 11:33am

Someone had a meeting.

5/6/15 11:46am

And the MLM?

jdub

5/6/15 11:52am

Is a detail I'd prefer to keep to myself. I'm not looking for clients.

5/6/15 11:54am

I don't think you need to worry about people here wanting to sign up

jdub

5/6/15 11:59am

How about a board mail message then to keep the audience small?

Medute

Oh, and that is very consistent with what I said.

Like I said, it is something she's paying attention to.

5/6/15 11:49am

She's not going to know until the relationships are done. Unless she has some

In two more months, people will start screening her phone calls to avoid a pitch

Or starts as greed, then goes desperate

I don't think it necessarily even starts as greed, though.

Two years ago? So have you reached the point where you have no friends or family

5/6/15 12:19pm

I think you missed the part where she's ordering product for herself

jdub

5/6/15 12:27pm

It's not your comments I'm responding to.

5/6/15 1:05pm

Given that she rarely talks to others about it has not affected any friendships
