Share your experiences in MLM

[totoro]

Hi guys,

For me, what I am most interested in, is to have our own USJ forum members who have dabbled in MLM share their stories and reflections with us. This is more valuable and meaningful to me.

Is there anyone here who have tried out MLM first-hand, and is willing to share their successes or failures, etc? e.g. in effort, support, business model, training, capital, products, feelings, comparisons...? Did you make big bucks? Did you waste your time? Was it the wrong company or wrong timing? Did you like the people in your business? Did you have fun, enjoyed your work?? What barriers did you face? How did your peers do? etc, etc...

Let's have a down-to-earth, practical, kopitiam chat on our own experiences instead...

[flaminJ]

I was/am in a Company called Unicity Network. Did not make much money but had a really great time there. I learnt that in life it's not always do what other people have been doing for ages and not make a difference.

The main things I learnt from there was how to face the world in a more open minded way. How to make things happen and not wait for them to happen and the belief of "Change". I had spent 3 years of my life in it and had not regretted a single minute of it. Being around the members/business partners were a bomb! You'll find out how quickly you can change if you hang around positive people all the time.

Overall, I was thankful for the MLM industry to have provided me the chance of learning to look in a different way in life and the way we make money. I am still very much in tune and in touch with the Company. Call me la... if any of you out there would like to know more into this. I have stopped recruiting but you're always welcomed to find out about the good and bad of Network Marketing from me...

Successful people make more mistakes, but they are successful because they try more things. Sooner or later they get something right. They don't win every time, but they end up winners simply because they don't give up. Robert Smith

Success is partly a mind-set; the person who can't be worn down by failures can't be brought down by any other cause. Almost every successful person became successful because they kept trying. Robert Smith

Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future. Tyron Edwards

Err...Totoro:)...TQ for starting this thread topic...you sincere intention is clear...thus hoping this thread would benefit more people to realise the pros n cons of network marketing... :)

Err...FlaminJason:)...Orchi sees still the fire in you...thank you for the inspiring words from your personal experience in MLM...initially it takes gusts to try n make changes happenning...it takes courage to endure rejections...all them training n life's lesson so far has been fruitful in many ways for you....

Here goes again...you are becoming a good planter...ahem...simply because you are deserving every opportunity that comes your way :)

People have wants...people have needs...n they are asking for fish...?
Do you show them...the ways to fishing for fish...or do you just offer them the fish...?

So the difference could be that they need but would they be deserving it...? :)

[flaminJ]

In the MLM business is quite different from the normal JOB that most of us went through. There are no boundaries, no one to tell you what you MUST do and no one to tell you that YOU CANNOT MAKE IT...

You dictate all the values above, to do something is easy.... it depends on your will to do it or not. To wake up in the morning is easy but trying to wake up and physically waking up are two different things altogether.

Example... If there are 4 cats sitting on the fence and 3 cats decided to jump off; how many cats will there be left on the fence?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Still 4 ! Why? Because they just decided to do it but have not jumped off the fence! This always happens in MLM... you will find a lot of people doing this.... It's not a matter of talk and thinking but actually doing it? Up to you guys to think about it long and hard.... Like Orchi said.... I'm also an infant when it comes to thinking like this.... small baby.

[sly]

pls pls correct me if i'm wrong...i remember seeing it somewhere, when asked what 'mr donald' will do if he goes bankcrupt again. he answered that he will look for a potential MLM company and start from there. every guest in that particular show booed at him. he then replied to them, 'that is why i'm sitting here now and all of you are sitting down there'.

[pacochin]

The MLM industry has a bad name due to the past experience. But the landscape is quickily changing now. The mindset of people will slowly adopt that MLM is the future business modal that will drive results.

But now, the market is huge, becos, out of 10 person u spoke to about MLM, 8 will say "Na ! not me !", the 9th will say to himself "sure or not.." the 10th is either doing it or had done it before.

The industry doesnt fail. Its the people who give up half way that proclaimed, this industry is tough or some even say, "cheat people one...". Well, if it cheap people, why dont you go and make a police report ?

I am now involved in MLM. Guess what, I never regretted. Over here, its a totally different new world. But the conditions is that you must join the Right Company, the right products, the Right Plan, the Right Team and the Right Culture. These are ingredients of baking a successful MLM story.

With all above, the most important part is ? That's it, u guess it. YOURSELF.

Attitude is the key thing. Without it, nothing one do, one will succeed in life anyway. Let alone MLM.

I have seen many successful MLM people in my organization.(and my definition of successful is people making RM 50K to a few hundred K a month)

And I have seen many who given up too. But thats life. Only 20% of the people control 80% of the economy. Thats a rule. So, the question is do you really want to be in the 20% or the 80% ?

If you are only willing to do things which are nice, easy, and comfortable, then I can gurrantee you that your life will be very uncomfortable.

But if you are willing to do things which are challenging, tough and not so comfortable, then chances of you having a comfortable life later will be very high.

Is MLM nice to do ? No, it's not.

Cheers :)

I switched on my tv to TV3 tonight and it was showing Ringgit Sense, with one of it's segments focusing on MLM in Malaysia, and in particular Nu Skin, and the hosts were talking about how their agents have made RM20 million in commissions alone.

I don't work for and am in no way affliated to Nu Skin, but thought this was interesting, because the host's tagline was "who says you can't make money from MLM..." hmmmmm... :)

Next week, they will be taking on life and medical insurance matters. Saturday, 19 March, 2005, 7pm.

Just curious to know. How many agents did the hosts mention shares the amount of RM20 million and what about the costs incured by the agents?

Hello guys.
I just joined this forum and saw yer messages on multilevel marketing. Actually mlm is an awesome thing if you know how to use it. Here are some things I have been thought about mlm from a friend who makes nearly half a million a year in mlm.(no joke)

1. Before you even signup with any company always look at the products they are selling. Are they affordable? Are they sellable? Will there be reorders?Are they high quality products. THe products are the business. Many dont understand that and that is why they fail.THere was a company last time told me "dont worry about the products just sell the business" at the end i heard that company close shop.Suprised?
2.Next is the business plan. Are there unearthly quota's to be met before you can see any money? If you do better than your upline(the person who recruited you) are you allowed to over take him?Are there extra bonusses and incentives on top of your comission?Always take a good look at the business plan as that will determine if you can make money or not.
3.Now we look at the company. Is it a credible company. How long have they been around for? Are there other branches overseas for instance? Are they properly licenced, like direct selling licence and also multilevel marketing licence.Could there be any forseeable problems in the future? This is precaution that the company wont just bungkus and cabut.
4. Now heres the part that is gonna pinch, the signing up fee. My advice is that anything above RM500 is a waste of time. IIrrelevent of how much of products you receive. Tell me you want to spend rm1000 on a business you dont even know hahah. I am currently in a beautiful business that only cost me 295 and i made it back in a week without recruiting anyone.
5. And lastly and will say the most importantly is the support. Is the business dedicated in helping you succeed? Are the other mlm'ers dedicated to help you succeed? Is there support and training to help in the tough times?Ask the ones that have succeeded how they did it. If they really want you to succeed they will tell you. Thats what i normally do.

Just to let you guys know i am not trying to sell my mlm business altough i am lucky enough to find one that has ALL OF THE ABOVE. No doubt that multilevel marketing has got a bad wrap over years and this is because people just cannot accept that making money is EASY!!! All you need is the know how about making money and someone to guide you. An extra RM3,000 a month on top of your working salary, not worth it ahh????

Hi guys

I am Not trying to offend here, just myself has read a article by an expert of MLM for 20 years and here the 10 lies he wrote about MLM.

Lie #1: MLM offers better opportunities than all other conventional
business and professional models for making large amounts of money.

Lie #2: Network marketing is the most popular and effective new way to bring products
to market. Consumers like to buy products on a one-to-one basis in the MLM model.
Lie #3: Eventually all products will be sold by MLM. Retail stores, shopping malls,
catalogs and most forms of advertising will soon be rendered obsolete by MLM.

Lie #4: MLM is a new way of life that offers happiness and fulfillment.
It provides a way to attain all the good things in life.

Lie #5: MLM is a spiritual movement.
Lie #6: Success in MLM is easy. Friends and relatives are the natural prospects.
Those who love and support you will become your life-time customers.
Lie #7: You can do MLM in your spare time. As a business, it offers the greatest flexibility
and personal freedom of time. A few hours a week can earn a significant supplemental income
and may grow to a very large income, making other work unnecessary
Lie #8. MLM is a positive, supportive new business that
affirms the human spirit and personal freedom.
Lie #9. MLM is the best option for owning your own
business and attaining real economic independence.
Lie #10: MLM is not a pyramid scheme because products are sold.

Dear Pacochin,
If you don't mind, what MLM are you into and why did you say that it is not nice to do? What did you mean by 'not nice to do'? It's not fun and requires alot of hardwork?

I found this topic pretty interesting. I joined an MLM at the beginning of this year but prior to that I did 6 months of research into the different companies and plans. I spent a few hundred ringgit to attend all the different gatherings and meetings but I'm finally chose the one I'm currently with. You might ask why. But my reasons cannot be your reasons. You have to find your own. But I"m willing to share what I know.
My uncle was in the company for more than 10 years and he's made his fortunes. I can verify that cos I've seen his income statement. Knowing all that, it still wasn't my first choice. I did extensive research into the company and even burrow into its annual reports. Only then was I satisfied.
For those who are interested, I would suggest attending a few meetings and gatherings and compare. Firstly, you must feel comfortable. If you have an inkling that they're lying or exaggerating, clarify and find out.
I actually spent a few hundred on Lampe Berger events and saw the plan from 4 different people. But something held me back. At a gathering I attended, almost everybody I met was smoking openly. This is from the people who say they are into air management.
Nuskin? I don't know how good the products are, but I definitely do not like some of the people I met. They were most unprofessional. When I told them I've joined another company, they insulted the company and the products. They even went so far to insult my personal choice and my person. Enough was enough.
I'm not saying I'm judging the company based on the people, but think about it. I feel it's important. Do you want to bring your friends to meet these people? If I don't feel comfortable, how can others be comfortable?

In reply to the 10 myths:
May I know who's this 'expert'?
Truth #1: It does offer a better opportunity in terms of affordability and amount of risk. As for the large amount of money, it depends how big your business is I suppose.

Truth #2: Whether it’s the most popular I can’t answer, but it’s definitely a growing trend. If anybody is interested I suggest they spend a bit of time and effort to attend meetings and gatherings before joining, you’ll see all the youngsters in their early 20s there. NO more auntie business. And what’s not to like? Products are sent right to the home.

Truth #3: To say that ‘Eventually all products will be sold by MLM’ is a bit far fetched at the moment. But who knows what will happen. But something happened recently to make me rethink that statement, I heard the owner of Tesco has sold the business cos it was making losses from day one.

Truth #4: MLM IS a way of life for some, whether it’ll bring what others claim it brings is entirely up to the individual. It is ONE way but not the only way.

Truth #5: ‘MLM is a spiritual movement.’ If a gathering of positive people is a spiritual movement, I suppose it is.

Truth #6: Success in MLM is never easy. Whoever said that is lying. However, the business and plan is easy. But you still need to work hard initially. The rewarding part comes later. And you leverage from your hard work.

Truth #7: ‘You can do MLM in your spare time.’ Why not? If your MLM income is more than your salary wouldn’t you wanna go full time? On the other hand I’ve heard of people still keeping their jobs for the fun of it. They keep working cos they enjoy their work. How many of us working now can claim that?

Truth #8. I don’t see anything wrong with this sentence. ‘MLM is a positive, supportive new business that affirms the human spirit and personal freedom.’

Truth #9. ‘MLM is the best option for owning your own
business and attaining real economic independence.’ That’s a personal opinion I believe. But like I said earlier, it’s not the only one. If you have the capital, by all means open a big business, buy real estate or invest in the stock market. Again, how many can afford that?

Truth #10: This is already verified by the Direct Selling Association of Malaysia and internationally. ‘MLM is not a pyramid scheme because products are sold.

made for a good laugh! heard that the lamps are very useful in clearing the air of ciggie smell... maybe they're experimenting? :D

haha
but do you see the difference? clearing the air of ciggie smell doesn't mean the toxins and tar is cleared from your lungs, it's just masking it, isn't it?

[davidbates]

whatever the case, that really was funny. just goes to show how important "IMAGE" is in every business, not just MLMs.

[davidbates]

Anyway I suppose I should introduce myself. my name is as you can see above :) I'm living in Sunway and have been reading this thread and the others with some interest for a few days.

Why was I interested?

I come from a family of strong and successful MLM-ers. Just like how you could imagine a family of Doctors, my family is made up of MLM people. We call it our family business and the ultimate "family" dream is to go on MLM sponsored holidays together as one big family.

Some of my family have retired young due to being part of the MLM which we are in. I myself haven't reached that stage but believes that the future of earlier retirement is within reach. How can I not? HAving so many succesfull people around every chinese new year/christmas? :)

Well thats quite enough of talk. I'll be here often enough, this thread and that on investing is rather interesting. :)

see u around.

Hi,

I joined a MLM company last week and attended some of their talks and gathering.

I used to hope for more income when I first sign up for as a member. But then I realised, it's not about money. It's about reform of your life, to have goal and dream and to work hard to achieve the goal.

People around you, they gives encourage, not because they have too, but because they respect you for having dreams and working hard to achieve it.

It's true some people fail, and some people succeed in the industry. This is just the same as all the competitions out there, only one will get the grand prize title. You need to put effort in to achive the best that you deserved.

Believe in what you believe is important when you try to approach friends to ask them join u as a partner or member. I mean, if you believe that this system can gives you what you want, you will not feel guilty or ashame of what you are doing.

I dun mind people reject me, I can't force people to agree with what I believe. There are so much options out there to get what they want.

MLM is a tool to achive what you want. If you believe in it. Know it better so that it can helps you better. If you dun, please dun involve yourself in it.

No success is easy. Even with MLM system.

[kevin23]

yes the MLM business is greatly expanding in Malaysia,itz a great way to be ur own boss if u dont like to be ordered day in day out by some superior of yours! and yes,ur success depends on how many downlines u can train to be confident and reliable salesperson...in fact,we dont call them salesperson but young executives..really successfull ppl set a target of sales every month and know what to do to accomplish this.Your success depends entirely on you..btw,my total downline sales last month is RM 320000++,i get 7% of commision...u calculate lah..!

[bluegrass]

To be successful in MLM, you need only 1 thing. People skill. If you lack people skill, then choose an upline who has people skill. If your upline is also a newbie or without people skill, then don't join under him/her. Your newbie friend may have another upline who's strong, but how much time can your upline's upline spend on u? Wait for a better opportunity.

For all newbies, develop your people skills quickly. Expand your network of friends.

[kelvinwkw]

haha
but do you see the difference? clearing the air of ciggie smell doesn't mean the toxins and tar is cleared from your lungs, it's just masking it, isn't it?


If thats so good as u mention, try to bring the lamp out without mask on your face when its hazzy again...

I'll salute you then
:D

1) Beware of the 2 Taiwanese Companies selling Lampe Berger and BelAir in Malaysia.

Most people who bought those fragrance products have stopped using them. Besides being overclaimed as aromatherapy products, they are very troublesome and costly to use.

There are also many people who joined the business, bought in bulk and could not dispose them yet.

For more info, please visit:

www.stopmlmscam.blogspot.com
www.antilampeberger.blogspot.com
www.lampebergerhelp.blogspot.com

2)Also beware of this licensed MLM Company, QuestNet in AmCorp Mall. They use many other names like Gold Quest, Quest Vacations International, Quest Resorts. Also have e-commerce, telecommunications products, etc.
They will be holding a exhibition in Sunway Convention soon.
I am sure many people will fall vicitm during the exhibition.

Hi,

For your info, I joined MLM way back in 1988. The first MLM co, I joined was Cosway, infact my brother was the first to bring Cosway into Singapore. Did that for a couple of years but could not manage well. I quit when I was earning around RM 1K per month. Since then I have joined many other MLM Companies, incl; Nuskin, Morinda, Unicity, Alken, CNI, Phamanex, Zhulian, Amway, AMS, Mannatech, Mallaleuca, E-Excel, so many that I became an expert in all sorts of Compensation Plans from Binary to Austrailan two way to Unilevel Compressed Payplan and even the revolutionary Trend 90.

To be successful in MLM, the 5 Criterias are very important:

1. Company Profile - What is the Company Standing? How much sales does it generate? What kind of standing does the company have? How many years in the industry?

2. Products - Are the products sellable? If its health product, any scientific backings? How many research papers done on the product? Is it unique? Patented? Any competition?

3. Comp Plan - What is the Actual Payout??? Not potential payout but actual payout. How much is your commission in 1st three levels as many of us are only part timers. What kind of plan? Is it fair? How much can a new comer make within 1st 15 days?

4. Group Support - What kind of group support do u get not only from ur direct upline but the top leaders in Asia. Do they come up with ideas to help you recruit more people? Are there regular trainings done by Top Leaders?

5. Timing - Most important is timing. What are u marketing? Is it relevant to our times today? If you did Shaklee in the 70s, fine cos that was a Multi-Vitamin era. Today vitamins are available on shelves. Herbal products? That was way back in the 80s. Anti Oxidants? the 90s was the best era for that. Too much competition. Year 2000s, you should target the Imun System. It is revolutionary, it is new and it is what all the earlier products lead you to. Your Immune System.

Well after all the heartache, i finally joined a Company 5 months ago. The payout is not bad, I am making ard 15K RM monthly in only 5 months. Both my brothers who joined 1 year plus ago are making 100K RM monthly and my sister who was responsible for the growth and spread of this business is makin RM 3 Million per annum as she is basically in-charge of Malaysia, Spore, Brunei, Indonesia, Manila, Sabah and Sarawak.

The product is unique as it is patented and we are the only ones in the MLM industry to have it. We have more than 3500 Medical Reports from various laborataries with doctor endorsements all over the world. Also 1st product marketed by MLM industry to break a record by being approved to be used in Hospitals by Ministry of Health in Russia for Cancer and HIV. The highest actual payout in the Industry. You get ur 1st commissions in a matter of 15 days, credited in ur banks, paid in US Dollasrs, exchanged to RM at exchange rate 3.8.

Well after being dispair and nearly losing hope, I am now very very encouraged by the expansion of this business. Scientists predict every house hold to have our products in their homes by year 2010. 4 years to go and our patent is up to 2026.

Cheers.

"It's better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrate dissatisfy than a fool satisfied" John Stuart Mill

People tends to become vistims is because they are easily satisfy with what they are being offered without filtering the info: a golden opportunity, gateway to financial freedom, etc. What is worse, some even don't realise what is the meaning of those opportunity (example: financial freedom)

MLM itself is neutral for its contain nothing evil nor holyness, it is just an effective marketing tool for many individuals (but of course, please filtered out those that have been banned by the government), just like money itself.

But the people behind them, now that is the problem. Some act like an angel (those who really helpful and selfless- but rare even in MLM), some like actors (wearing different masks depends on facing which individual, hippocrites that quite common in MLM, they said they don't mind rejection, then cursing those who rejected them from behind), and the worse of them all: people that act like the sheep from the Animal Farm . they just following the crowd, not knowing what they are really up to. some of them get lucky following the right crowd and the right organization (MLM) and ended up sharing this :"...actually I also dunno why my income per week is more than 10k or above..."; those who failed due to following the wrong crowd and using the wrong approach migth be one of those who grumbled here and there. (don't get me wrong, I didn't meant eveyone who have negative thought towards MLM is this kind of people! I'm one of the negative guy too!)

Anyway, I do agree that MLM is an easier way for those who wanna own their business (though those products or services surely didn't contain their own name...haha). But I'm always such a jerk like those activists that opposing WTO (Globalisation), I always prefer more and more competition and creativity in the market rather than a fool-proofed or "one brand to rule them all" marketing strategy.

Just imagine if all the so called traditional super/hypermarket (as defined by most of the MLM distributors) being wiped out from the earth's surface, what will happend? what is left is only a few brand (MLM) for us to chose from, and I assume that only those who are become "stable" or success in MLM can survive as all the products will be a few hundreds percents more expensive than the "non-MLM" products (MLM eliminates the middleman? gimme a break! what is all that pyramid/hierarchy/matrix of upline and downline for???), and surely competition will surely stimulate every business (including MLM) to improve their service and products from time to time.

OK! I think I started to become blur of what I am trying to express here. My conclusion is: filtered whatever info that the others give unto you, dun become a sheep that always "yeah~yeah~yeah~", you are responsible for your own whatever you will be involved with (MLM). And fella! we need more variety! For those who are idealistic and poses the spirit of a real entrepreneur, create your own brand name or services that make the market more interesthing and creative!

MLM? Yup, there are effective. but instead of doing Amway, Cosway, LB's way, or other MLM's way..I'm doing it my way. :cool: Hope more people can become part of the community of this minority like me :D

Well there's a problem with this part of your argument, that is instead of assuming that traditional super/hypermarts were to be "wiped from the earth" as you say, why not say "MLM is to be wiped from the earth"? Which brings us back to the premise, what is the motivation behind MLM, which in my opinion, is greed.

My my I haven't seen a gathering of so many 'Kawan Baru' since... umm. the last MLM seminar!

Cynical comments aside, can someone please define what MLM means? It stands for Multi-Level Marketing, but what does that mean?

I am stealing experience from the following link. After reading it, I think he/she does not stop people from joining MLM. It is just that the people who join MLM must at least understand MLM first.
