So they sell shampoo. No surprise sellers don’t make money.
Doesn’t sound much different than selling pesticides door to door. I couldn’t believe what they told my daughter when they tried to recruit her to sell.
I think it is inappropriate for the OP to call out peoples integrity. Almost all sales efforts include smoke and mirrors and withholding parts of the truth. Might as well throw recruiters while we are at it. MLMs are both.
