About MLM, Multi-level marketing or Networking

[stylishmomy]

^it's ok, we have not been talking for almost 2 months na, or more pa ata. i've always told him that it's not for me, na talagang hindi ko linya ang selling. pilit siya ng pilit. and i tell him na you're starting to sound like them. alam niya how frank i can be. pero wala e, ayaw niya ako tigilan. so instead na magkasalitaan pa kami ng masasama, i chose to not speak to him nalang. kasi everytime na magkakausap kami sa office, he would always show me yung video ng company na sinalihan niya, hoping that that would entice me to join.

sabi pa niya magreresign na siya soon after that kasi nga may business na siya. well, he's still here 

downside of this kind of business - nakaka sira ng friendship
Avoiding one friend for the same reason... "networking" has gotten into their head.

one thing that turned me off about  mlms is that mostly the items they sell are way overpriced. they also focus. ore on recruitment that sales of their items.

Hello, anyone heard about MVT, my video talk? is it also considered MLM? may nag iinvite kasi sa amin, i opened the site mostly naman video sa youtube at blocked dito sa office di ko tuloy maview

Networking is not our line din, di kami magaling ni hubby sa selling or convincing people to join, i rather deal with MFs and stocks but i do admire those people na sobra ang dedication sa networking at talagang kumikita sila.

*exhales exhaustedly* The problem with other MLM is that namimilit. Pero I understand why others are really into the "recruiting". The reason kung bakit they are really recruiting others to become a member is because the money is there. Look at it this way yung company kumikita ng malaki pag may mga franchisers. Kasi kunyari si isang company na nasa metro manila naka pag franchise sa province yung mga tao sa province would get to know the company sa province na yun and would be possible buyers.

For that alone papalo yung sales nila compare sa main branch lang nila sa Manila. Etong mga company na nasa MLM opted for Networking kasi it's an advertisement free. Meaning: They do not have to spend money for advertisers (that costs millions) and instead would pay representative (distributors/sellers) based sa performance nila to sell the product or if they could get someone as a franchiser too. Sa companies this means low cost, kasi maglalabas lang sila ng pera according sa performance ng distributors unlike sa advertisers na naglabas muna sila before they see result.

There's really nothing wrong with the networking, the problem are the networkers.

Accordin naman sa price, well that's something. hahaha!

Hi everyone! I'm a proud member of AIM GLOBAL. I have lots of friends who are into this MLM business in different companies like UNO, Royale, Frontrow, DXN  etc. At first, naiirita ako sa pangungulit nila, pero sa kinatagalan, nacurious narin ako bakit parang kumikita narin sila ng malaki. I opted first sa Royale, but when I learned from my friend that the me, bership costs more than 12k, I had 2nd thoughts. Then my seatmate from college invited me to join her tem at AIM GLOBAL for P7980. She's a silver executive earning xxx, xxx.00 a month and I'm blinded by the check and car she showed me.

I always dream of having a business, and this opportunity knocked on my window. Sabi nila, ang MLM ay depende sa sipag at tyaga sa benta at recruit. Mas malaki kasi ang kita sa recruit kesa benta, that's why.

Secret is to choose a very accommodating upline. Yung masipag at willing kang tulungan pag may tanong ka.  Good income opportunity din ang products, which is you have to try to prove the effectivity.

About sa scholarship ng AIM, it's transferrable and with over 400 schools affiliated nationwide.

^^ Good for you sis.
Actually ang hirap kasi sa networking na damage yung industry name because of many amateurs who persuades people to join them by false expectations (among other reasons). This is the reason why Direct Selling companies and the industry gets a bad name.

The products that Direct Selling companies are "business products" too. It's puzzling when others say that they want to get their investment back. Tapos if they do not move because of personal insecurities, excuses they blame the company for not getting their money back. Like any business if you do not know how to sell your product you do not get anything in the end. Lugi din.

[runami]

^^ Exactly! But there are some scams on networking aired on the news like 10yrs ago. The MLM nowadays are somewaht more stable than before. Every member just needs to work their way to earn, everyone has to strive. Networking is not as eadsy as it seems.

[poetrytoprose]

^^ yeah tama ka sis. There are some people naman na nagtayo ng Direct Selling company out of greed para magkapera lang. hay.

Anyway, yeah basta if you are going to join the direct selling get yourself ready kasi it will be a personal battle. There are lots of ups and downs, pero everything is worth it.

[zanabee]

why do they(upline) have to show their car most of the time when they are trying to recruit?

[babyboo.0326]

^i think it's a way for them to show proof na they can afford to buy those. heard news that the company "daw" lends them the money to buy those, but installments. not sure though how true the info i heard.

Hi, I'm a member of Alliance in  Motion Global (AIM Global), 3 weeks palang, puro seminar and training sa Ortigas (Burgundy Bldg). At first, I only have 1 account, and honestly may return of investment na after a week plus kami rin nagbenefit sa products since gumagamit din kami ng husband ko ng C24/7 food supplement, we're both healthy pero dahil sa nature ng trabaho namin we decided to take the food supplement and in 2 weeks time na nagtatake kami ng C24/7 sobrang maganda ang results.

as for the package, it's very beneficial, wala pa kaming malaking income pero sa 7980.00 kasi 3 weeks palang kaming nagjojoin... sa Scholarship palang sulit na, idagdag pa yung mga Medical benefits and products pwedeng for personal consumption or ibenta, pero i suggest gamitin nyo muna para makita ng iba na glowing, healthy and energized kayo because of the products.

with  the marketing plan, from 1 account, in less a month we availed additional 7 accounts from our savings na nakalaan dapat sa schooling ng kids namin, pero we believe that in 3 months time... babalik din sa amin yun baka triple pa... i agree sa isang taga AIM din dito, it's better to choose your Upline kasi nakadepende din sa kanila ang pagyaman mo, if full support sila, for sure magiging millionaire tayo...

[angelparvian]

MLM is good. just make sure you really work it out. kasi dai nagrereklamo di daw sila kumikita e hindi naman kasi nila ginagawa

[benesseremozzo]

I have been working in the banking industry for several years in a managerial position. At first I really don't believe in MLM or networking. So I decided to study several networking companies and their income strategies.

Until I found out and eventually joined Royale as it offers different ways to earn income. Example, if one side stop on recruiting but they focus on buying the products, you still earn from that. 

So the earning, doesn't stop there.. and I love the culture of the people and their teamwork.

fyi.. the company has expanded in several countries already.

Recently joined sa MLM. Nag uumpisa palang sila. They started daw Cebu last October 2013 yata yun, then dito sa Manila bagong bago palang. Ako talaga, lahat ng naginvite sakin i turned down pero not this one. Kasi nakaposisyon ako sa taas. Kahit naman di natin aminin, everyone knows naman na ang nagbebenefit talaga is yung mga nasa taas. Kaya ayoko mag MLM kasi alam ko na nasa baba na ko. Kasi nga nasa positioning yan eh.

Good thing pa is we get discounts sa mga partner establishments nila which is isa pang benefits ng pagiging distributor.

Ang di ko lang magets, is yung product nila ang endorser si Lebron aheheh.

Ang iniisip ko nalang, if hindi mag work out ito, wala namang nalugi sakin, first kasi i get the products naman na worth ng investment. Puwede ko namang laklakin lahat ng kape at tea at tonic drinks na nasa package so not bad. hahaa.

Positive lang talaga. And nag aalok ako sa friends ko kasi nasa top position pa. sayang kasi yung opportunity. This is business. It requires Risk. Good thing, yung ininvest ko ay galing naman sa OL shop ko.

Pag nag alok ako, hindi ako nagpapaligoy ligoy, i dont say investment, i dont say business. I tell them, baka gusto mong sumali sa networking. If humindi, e di tuloy nalang ang kwentuhan diba? Then walang nasisirang friendship. May goodluck pa ko marereceive.

Natuturn off kasi ako dun sa ibang nakikita ko sa FB, para silang may winoworship. Sobrang energetic nila and birit talaga kung mag alok. Ayun

[cynth_pink00]

^ hi sis. I dont agree with what you said that only those on the top yung mag eearn. I dont think all MLM companies are like that. As for my case kase, kahit nasa taas ka or nauna ka but you dont work wala ka. Nakakatakot yung mga ganyang MLM. Kawawa yung downlines then.

I have been looking for investment opportunities and other ways to have an additional income. I have read about different MLMs and Networking companies. I finally decided to join AIM GLOBAL. And I am glad I did. I am just a newbie but I was able to attend 2 trainings already. And they still have more trainings to offer...

I was able to learn more about not just AIM but also networking and earning possibilities. The company also provides training that will help members with their personality development.

I am fortunate that I was able to join a very supportive group. They are Bicolano's and I personally knew my upline(though we were not close before) and other members of AIM.

The group I joined is very supportive and not only strive for their own success but for their downlines as well. I am very busy with my job right now as a BM, so my upline is the who assist me at this stage. AIM already has an established system for a networker to succeed. All we have to do is to follow it to be as successful as our uplines...

AIM is a very stable MLM and the will soon to have its own building along EDSA. The products are manufactured by NATURE'S WAY so they are really quality products...The registation fee is really worth it as you will be able to get more in return because of the scholarship, medical check, GC and Insurance.

Tip lang sa gustong magtry ng MLM. Maganda talaga and you can earn the income that you want. Pero... You should be ready. Maraming sacrifices yan and hindi siya madali

Been there for two years din.

im a member of frontrow.. but im more focus on selling than recruiting. if somebody ask how to be a distributor and to have their own beauty business thats the time i will only give details.. I dont force them to join.. its a plus nalang if somebody join ..  and I am enjoying selling the products and I have my own beauty business..

[masternegosyo]

This is my opinion about TFD first I joined them OK yung marketing strategy nila kasi Hindi mabigat sa bulsa at every sales mo ng food cart ay may commission ka matatanggap. Ngayon binago nila ang system nila at ang Hindi ko nagustuhan ay yung mga previous invite ko ay nabura na kc nagreset sila. Ngayon ang kailangan mo bayaran ay 22k or 52500 para maging VIP member ka. At Hindi ka kikita kung wala kang invite na magpapamember din at magbabayad ng VIP membership fee. Ngayon ang TFD ay nagfofocus na sa networking at Hindi sa entrepreneurship na una nilang inoffer samin dati.
