Interesting post Ted but I think MLM is a very good way for the average person to create a good full time or part time income. You are right there hasn't been mcuh success but it is changing. The key to be successful is to help people build their business,have marketing systems and train support in place. When I get someone who joins my company, i help them right away get sign ups by having them on the phone with me as I talk to people. I also role play with them and then get on the phone with them to develop their phone skills.
My group has grown in my travel business because we use a system that everyone can use. I don't mean placing generic ads in forums,free ad groups or talking to friends and family. I have it where people call me who are interested and since I have been able to do that,they are alot more responsive. I don't do no selling,no presentations over the phone, I send them to my presentation and then I have a call center who follows up and helps close the sales on my behalf.
When I have new people see how simple the system is,it sells itself and they get excited. I also dont claim they will make $10,000 a month, i am honest and don't have to read from some script either. it is a win-win situation. I agree everyone needs to do due dilligence but i have seen show them a great product,a great training system and support system, they will grow Mike
