Just Admit It’s MLM
January 25, 2008
A couple of weeks ago I attended the kick-off party for a friend’s home party business. The business offers “higher commissions and rewards by sharing the opportunity and mentoring others.”
I was at the “party” for one hour, and the products were not mentioned once. Only the business opportunity was promoted. During that time my friend’s higher up said:
[This business] is not MLM. In fact, corporate America is more like a pyramid than [this company] is, you know with a CEO and then the VPs and all the managers under him. In [this company], we’re more like a family.
Does that mean they spank their subordinates and ground them if they don’t perform up to snuff? Or maybe if I clean my room “Mommy” will let me drive her silver El Dorado to the prom?
