Every month thousands of distributors would be desperate to find the right combination of products to hit their minimum requirement. It didn't matter if they didn't stand to gain by doing this as they were isolated and abandoned by their millionaire uplines if they showed any sign of weakness or defiance in consistently ordering. They clung to the promise of "mentorship" from the elites if they kept ordering and "recruting". I worked hard for 6 years watching this happen before I called it quits and regret not leaving sooner EVERY SINGLE DAY.
