- I, for one, have read with great interest the discussion on MLM.
- By the way I don't seem to get alt.business.multi-level.
- Is this an actual group, a proposed group, or what? Anyway,
- for that reason, please don't flame me for posting to misc.entrepreneurs.
-
- I had never heard of MLM until ealier this year. The only MLM I am familier
- with now is Amway. What I would like to know is how other MLM stack up
- against Amway and against each other. Since everyone has a very strong
- opinion on this subject, I would like to obtain FACTUAL information on
- the various MLMs and compare them myself. If anyone could point me in the
- direction of factual, objective (if it exists) information, I would greatly
- appreciate it. This may include magazine articles, books etc. Also, anyone
- involved in any MLM feel free to EMAIL me information. I am not necessarily
- going to join, but I am interested in finding out more. The type of
- information I am interested in is:
-
- - What type of products/services does the MLM market
- - How do the various commission levels/bonuses work
- (i.e. "the plan")
- - What is the approximate start up cost
- - What type of support materials are offered, if any
- - Is it available in Canada
- - Background on company. Years in business, sales, profit etc.
-
- Again I am looking for factual information, not hype. Anti-MLM people
- need not respond, although if you have legitimate negative information
- (i.e. So and so company was fined $ for engaging in illegal activities etc.)
- that is OK. Just don't reply with general "it's a scam, it's unethical" type
- remarks. Also, I have already seen the Amway plan several times, been to a
- couple of seminars and read some material on it so I don't really need to
- find out anything more about Amway.
-
- Thanks in advance to anyone who responds with relavant info.
