About MLM, Multi-level marketing or Networking

[ms.primadonna]

^I strongly agree with you.

I am super anti MLM since when I was young at nung bago lang to  nauso, sumali yung dad ko. Ang dami nyang narecruit, pero biglang nagsara yung company. I wont mention na lang the name of the company. However, medyo ironic since I'm doing Usana now. Haha. And so far okay siya, lagi akong may kita pag pinagtrabahuhan ko. And what helps is that I really believe in the products kasi, ang daming testimonies from people close to me.

I think people can succees sa MLM basta good ang intentions nila, at basta naniniwala sila sa Products.

MLM is a way of doing business. nagkataon lang na madami gumagamit nito to scam other people.

Ilang taon ako sa MLM although umunlad din kami dahil doon talaga. Naging isa kami sa top earners actually. Pero ang downside, nagkawatak watak ang pamilya namin. As in nasira. Siguro dahil na rin sa biglang bumuhos ang pera. At isa sa pinakamatindi, yung ex husband ko eh pinaligiran ng maraming babae kaya hayun kung gaano siya kadalas magpalit ng sasakyan, ganun din kadalas siya magpalit ng girls. Bitter lang peg ko hahaha Kaya ayoko na ng MLM talaga!

The other day I was chatting with a former teammate on FB. He was telling me about this new company he is working at, he said he's into "advertising" and earning dollars and that the were looking for part-timers. And because I needed extra income I agreed to meet with his 'director' at a building in makati yesterday. And yun na first time ko pa lang nakita yong 'director' niya and the other people she was with alam ko na NETWORKING. Ang inis ko lang dun sa friend ko kasi I was looking for a real part time job. But anyways nakinig na din ako sa presentation. The products look promising and I'm actually interested to buy them. But I will NOT shell out 16K for membership.

Back in 2008 naman another close friend invited me to a 'party'. Ang inis ko din sa kanya kasi presentation din pala ng networking, the membership was 11K. Up to now hindi pa din siya yumayaman katulad ng sinabi nung nag present sa amin if I joined. 

Tapos a few months ago a girltalker pm'd me about a 'part time' job daw. I agreed to meet with her pero nagduda ako kasi at first ayaw magbigay ng full info about the company until napilit ko ibigay name nung company. It's the same place I went to yesterday. Ayun networking din pala. Sabi ko 'wag na lang.

It's one reason why hindi ako bilib sa networking, yong recruiter sa una pa lang hindi na honest.

And I guess if you want to do this business, you have to take a look at your network. Will the people in your network be able to afford 11K/16K  membership fee? Do you think you have market where you can dispose the products that come with the membership to? And most of all, are you aggressive enough that you feel you can convince people you don't even know to join (minsan you have lie to them at first pa to encourage them to attend your presentations).

And naisip ko din what if I joined one of these and be able to recruit people then they're not able to recruit new people, baka ako pa masisi na nasayangan sila ng pera! Sa mga yumaman na sa ganito, bilib ako sa inyo kasi mahirap talaga siya gawin!

meron din akong former schoolmate na ganyan... hindi nya talaga ako mayakag na makipag-meet sa kanya.  super tamad kasi akong lumabas ng bahay.

sabi ko sa kanya, i will sell your products online.  send nya lang sa akin ang photos.  kung may mag-order, babayaran ko sya then iship nya sa customer ko.  ayoko kasi mag-bayad ng membership fee na ubod ng laki, pwede ng ibili ng shares of stocks ng Ayala.  Ayoko rin mag-carry ng inventory na hindi ko naman gagamitin.

in the end, ang sabi nya, kesyo na check nya daw sa manager nya.  hindi daw pwedeng ibenta online ang products nila.  against daw iyon sa business marketing ng company.  dapat daw personal na ibenta.  face to face marketing.  errr i wouldn't bother peddling your wares.

pero hanggang ngayon niyayakag nya pa rin ako.  ewan kung yumaman na sya.  pero sure ako, nag-increase na ng 30% ang AC stocks ko.

I have tried this but eventually I quit. This wasn't really for me.

[slovy]

My hubby's nephew is into this, and he indeed become rich.. Kasama na sya sa list ng top 10 millionaires sa company nya at sya ang pinakabata. Magaling naman kasi talaga yun. Ngayon may book na sya out on the market.. Di nga lang nya ako napilit kasi wala ako masyado network at kailangan ako sa bahay, nag-aalaga ng mga anak ko. Siguro depende yun sa product na binebenta at yun nga kailangan marami kang kakilala at matyaga kang mangrecruite kasi pag wala, useless talaga.

I myself a truly anti-networking. Never did I entertain kapag tungkol dito. If mapapadaan kayo sa thread ng global pinoy & remittance center, mababasa nyo paano ako napunta dun. Hindi ko masasabi king sino o ano ang mga trusted networking groups. At kung iinvite ulit ako ng iba sa networking, NO parin ang answer ko. If you're going yo read mu post sa GPRS, sobrang hesitant talaga ako, pero sumali ako. Why? Simple lang. Hindi ko kailangan mag recruit para kumita, The services itself, kikita ka na talaga. That's the reason kaya ako sumali. Siguro ang nangyaring networking nila is form of marketing. Wether you recruit or not, kikita ka kasi ang daming paraan. Online booking & ticketing, travel & tours, hotel booking, loading, bills payment, remittance. Wala pa akong ba recruit kahit isa dahil hindi yun ang focus ko (para sa pagpapatunay, alam kong merong kasali sa GPRS dito, you can check my account) sa akin kasi, plain business. Nag e-earn ako sa mga services offered. Kaya siguro for me, kung plain networking lang at magbebenta ng kung ano ano na mahirap naman ibenta, taas dalawang kamay at paa ko na wag sumali. :-) in my own pov & experience :-)

Hi sis, paano to? Narinig ko na to dati sa friend ko, kaso nawala contact namin sakanya kasi she migrated to Canada, mukang suoer okay nga kasi marami sya naging customer eh. I'm interested. Thank you! :-)

[ysanity]

[berryblitz]

sa feb 16, 2013 pupunta ako sa main office ng isang network company with a friend.   hindi ako mahilig sumali sa ganito but user kasi ako.  pero i am hoping to earn ren from this kind of business.

magkukuento pala ako about my experience along the way    yung upline ko is a strong one.  may downline na ako kapag sumali ako.   yung friend ko na sasama sa akin, we would help each other.

so good luck to me hehe

agree!

[berryblitz]

^  agree ren ako dyan.  and akala ng iba is panloloko ang mlm.  sa totoo, nasa iyo naman iyon kung magsign ka or not.  then kung magsign ka, that means you plan to use their product and/or sell their product, or do something about on how you would earn from it.

[mrs.bee]

Pajoin. For me malaking help ang MLM lalo na sa katulad kong housewife. Depende sa products. Kaya dapat pili ka rin ng products na laging ginagamit ng tao. Saka ang maganda sa MLM marami kayong magtutulungan na gagawa. Pili ka rin ng tamang team at mentor na magaguide sayo para tamang approach mo pag nageendorse ka ng products. Fortunately nakahanap ako ng supportive na team. Financially, mura capital then mabilis ang ROI. Nung nakakakuha na ko ng cheke from my MLM business dun ko narealize na totoo naman pala walang lokohan dito. Napapasama lang yung networking kasi maraming nanloloko na tao.

Sis same company tayo!Goodluck!

dami nag iinvite sa akin, and most sa kanila, nababadtrip kc di ako sumali, and ayaw kong pumunta.

yung iba naman, sasabihing extra income, or advertising work, etc.  ayaw sabihin kung ano ba talaga.  i guess it's a technique na hindi ko alam kung turo ba ito sa loob ng company.

now, i am a member of aim global.  user ako.  nalaman kong member ang friend ko. nagsabi lang sya about aim.  take note, hindi nya ako niyaya.  ako ang mismong sumali, kc i plan to use the product.

i do plan to recruit, in my own way.  ayaw ko yung hindi sinasabi sa tao kung ano ba talaga yung company.  kasi parang nanloloko ang dating.

napansin ko lang, yung mga nagsasabi ng totoo sa narecruit, sila yung successful sa ganitong klase ng selling and recruiting.  yung mga hindi malaki ang kinikita, yung tipong konti konti lang, sila yung talaga namang ang kukulit.

napansin nyo ba yun?

the company is good.  but the way how members introduce the company is mali.  ang dating is parang sa mga insurance agents na nanghaharang and mag-aalok ng raffle, yung mga nasa malls.

[o5m_m5o]

^ True. Mahirap mang-encourage ng misleading invites.

Even if your invites do join, madali silang makunsensya sa
maling pamamalakad, and eventually stop.

[super bratinella]

Ayoko talaga sa mga networking, but meron isang networking talagang it caught my attention. I am not registered yet, I will check if talaga totoo nga. I need to see and experience it myself before I believe.

[mrs.bee]

Ako rin negative ako before pero napasali na rin ako dahil maganda ang products and services. Talagang nagagamit namin buong family saka nashashare ko pa sa friends. Basta maganda yung products at hindi overpriced at legal yung company ok lang.
