There are too many direct selling relatives and friends around me, such as Amway, Perfect, Melaleuca, Ruxin, Herbalife and Guozhen. I'm just telling the truth:
My sister-in-law worked in the power grid system before she graduated from Sichuan University, and then she worked full-time in Amway. She has been working full-time in Amway since my sophomore year. Today, I have graduated for thirteen years. It can be said that this "career" has spanned his whole youth after graduation.
When I was a sophomore in college, I took part in their classes. The teacher came to his house to give lectures. To tell the truth, the teacher was very charming, and he talked about life and philosophy without telling cases. I also liked the teacher. Later, I also got a membership card. Of course, I didn't have any money at that time, so I saved it. I look forward to being a winner in life as they say: DD, director, diamond and crown.
It's said that once I got the DD level, I would have a domestic travel meeting every year, and if I got the diamond level, I would have a luxurious overseas trip. I persisted in this ideal for half a year, but later I figured it out that I might not have spent as much energy as I did in my professional field. During this period, I asked my classmate to buy a toothpaste, and that's all, and the rest was for my own consumption.
Then I watched my sister-in-law, year after year, finally earning 2, yuan a month after four years of work, but my family and parents spent more than 6, yuan on Amway every month. Until the year before last, he was still telling me where those tours were going, and I asked him if he had gone, and he said that he had not reached the level yet.
A dream that has persisted for almost 2 years has always been to be an audience, cheering for others and contributing applause.
it's hard to judge, maybe they are happy.
last year, I quit Amway and went to sell small micro-loans in my forties. I dare not ask or say.
It's an unfamiliar friend, and a friend of a friend knows him. In Melaleuca, it seems to be called D6 level, which seems to be a very high level. There are dozens of member customers in his name, and I am one of them. I often travel, often hold national annual meetings, often be a sharing lecturer, often travel abroad with my family, and often bask in friends.
I bought their products and later began to tell me about my continuous income. In fact, needless to say, I also know a series of operation steps. After all, I have more than 3 years of social experience, so I can't say I dislike it, but I don't like it. I won't do it.
But their family is really the kind of person who is on the top of the small pyramid in the direct selling shop. They drive a luxury car, live in a luxury house, and feel like playing every day.
I don't know if this is a very small number, or if it is really the direct selling life goal that they can achieve as long as they work hard. What can they do behind them at this level? I think it's always rich.
my mom's friend made it, and even got me a card.
The great value of direct selling lies in that he can even transform an old lady. When my mother gets a card, she will tell me how many PVs she can earn every day, and how many PVs she can get promoted. She will drive a Land Rover and live in a villa. You know, my mother used to read English letters in Pinyin.
My mother's friend insisted on perfection in 1912, from her forties to her fifties, and her daughter scolded him for 1912 from high school to work. From the very beginning, Zhongshan went to Guiyang, and then to Changsha. The daily living expenses were more than 1 yuan, and the group rented. From no income to a few hundred yuan per month, I was in debt when I gave up completely a few years ago. The goal of life has never changed, that is, I want to take a photo with Malaysia and one of them to attend the annual meeting.
Later, I left and went back to my hometown to be a warehouse security guard. Looking at the ruined life, my dream can only be in my dream.
And my mother, who keeps a continuous card every year, likes the perfect conditioner very much. Just last year, she accidentally played Pinduoduo and bought a perfect conditioner for 6 yuan (the discount price for direct sales in the perfect system is more than 2 yuan). After my mother scolded Perfect as a blood-sucking machine, she angrily burned the perfect membership card and fell in love with Pinduoduo.
I can't say anything. After all, I still want to thank Pinduoduo.
I think, no matter what happens in the end, it's better if we are happy on the road we are chasing than if we complain in the workplace every day. After all, if they are happy, it doesn't matter whether they travel or not.
I'd like to share this problem. In fact, I knew Mary Kay (cosmetics) and Amway (detergent) in my early years, and then Herbalife (slimming products). In recent years, I learned about Melaleuca (household cleaning products).
in fact, I have never opposed direct selling, and I certainly have not agreed with it. Of course, I only heard from my friends and I have never really participated in it. After all, I don't know much about the system and policies. However, I have been in close contact with Melaleuca and studied for some time, so I will share what I have seen with you.
actually, this is also a direct selling brand made by a friend of mine in a bank, and I didn't think so at that time. When she introduced me at that time, she said that she had a classmate in middle school who had uremia. I heard that drinking Melaleuca's juice could improve immunity, so I bought it, and it really worked well, because Melaleuca could simply be a consumer. Then, after drinking the juice for a period of time, her classmates maintained good health and formally joined the organization, with the original intention of helping more patients.
because of the introduction of my old classmates, friends from my bank joined this organization, and at first they were just consumers. Melaleuca's system refers to the insurance company's monthly premium payment system, which requires 34 yuan to be consumed every month, so that it can maintain the highest commodity discount of 3%.
I thought their idea was not bad at that time. After all, it was to spread good products to people in need. I went to the field to learn about it, and then my bank friend introduced the leader of her organization to meet us. It was a Taiwan Province man who told me that day, and I was deeply impressed. Indeed, what he said attracted me.
I mainly remember to talk about passive income. In your current job, you have to work every day to earn money. If you don't work for a day, you will have no income. If you stop working, you will have no income.
Melaleuca system is a kind of passive income. You can find five people and build an organization. Then each of these five people can find five people and build an organization, and then it can reach seven levels at the highest. That is to say, if you can fill this 5*7 matrix, you will have nearly 1, people working for you, and 7% of the prizes will be almost several million.
I remember that teacher Taiwan Province described it like this at that time: You should open a coffee shop with 1, seats. Of course, you should invite 1 customers to have coffee first. Five of them thought it was good to open a coffee shop and became your distributors. They also invited customers to have coffee. This spread slowly, and more and more people came to your coffee shop. How many people can sit in your cafe depends on your personal ability and team management ability.
Then, the teacher mainly said, (I work in an insurance company), how much does it cost to buy an insurance policy and get a monthly pension of 2, yuan after retirement? I calculated that it would cost about 7 million yuan. Then the teacher said, if you don't need to pay the 7 million now, you just have to find five people to have coffee. Do you think it is difficult?
I really thought it wasn't difficult at that time. I thought it was just to find five people to be the consumers of Melaleuca, and each person would spend 34 yuan money for one month.
with five people and 2, yuan a month after retirement, will you make such a choice? I think most people will find it really easy.
The teacher said that every invitation you make now is to plant a small sapling. You don't know which sapling will sprout and grow into a towering tree, and it may not be you, because the people invited by your friend's friends will develop well one day, so will you.
actually, if you ask me, this theory seems to be good, too. There is nothing wrong with it.
But after I really became a member, I found the problem. If I didn't need to eat health care products, I just bought household cleaning products, such as detergent, and I couldn't spend 34 yuan in one month. I've been a member for about seven months, and I've stocked a lot of dishwashing liquid and shower gel at home, but I haven't used it up yet.
Speaking of morinda citrifolia juice, I really don't know whether it has any effect, but I think some people brag that they can treat cancer or something in order to sell it, which is cheating customers. I don't know if it can be regarded as a health care product, but it is probably considered as a health care food at best.
although I think the products are ok, after all, all household cleaning products are 1% pure natural, and there are environmental protection labels and patents, but that is an American patent after all, and we can't find out whether there is one or not. I just asked my friends in America. They don't seem to know much about musicians.
a bottle of dishwashing liquid, 49 yuan, a non-member and 34 yuan, a member, is actually an acceptable price, but you can't use 1 bottles of dishwashing liquid a month, can you?
A middle-class family spends 34 yuan on household cleaning products and personal cleaning products for a month, and the price is really no big problem, but the problem is that middle-class families need high-quality brands, and Melaleuca is not famous; However, ordinary families will think that this product is expensive, and 34 yuan is also very expensive for one month. So I don't think the consumption and positioning of Melaleuca are consistent.
I haven't heard that Melaleuca has been traveling in other places and eating and drinking, but it's too fake to see some people who are Melaleuca show up in a circle of friends every day, and everyone drinks juice and their cancer is cured.
Later, seven months later, we withdrew from the Melaleuca membership, and Mr. Taiwan Province visited us once, and we also explained the reasons. What I want to say is that any industry can survive for its own reasons. However, it is basically impossible for anyone to get something for nothing.
If you want to earn 2, yuan a month after retirement, you must certainly earn 7 million yuan, or you should keep working hard to make money now, and don't expect anyone else.
I think the theory of creating passive income and multiplying is generally good. After all, the Internet and self-media communication have such characteristics now. However, I hope you can understand that the second-level distribution system is now in line with the regulations, and any system that can earn income beyond the second-level distribution may be related to direct selling (pyramid selling).
in my opinion, try not to touch direct sales, unless your personal marketing ability is particularly strong, even if you do it, you can't stock up, which basically means that your marketing ability is not good. Of course, this is a paradox. If personal marketing ability is strong, all sales are profitable, and it is not necessary to do direct sales (MLM).
My sister did Amway.
At that time, it was around 2. At that time, there were not so many direct selling enterprises as now, but it seemed that there were only Avon and Amway.
My elder sister used to be a music teacher, with excellent business, image and temperament. Singing Li Na's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" is effortless and very professional.
It is such a person who finally embarked on the road of direct selling.
at that time, her mouth was jade, but her mouth was diamond (jade and diamond were Amway's business levels at that time). Either this person traveled abroad or how much money that person earned.
When talking about the future, I always keep my eyes open and have a magnificent imagination about the future.
As a direct seller, she is as passionate as a motor filled with oil. She does product tests at home again and again, attends group family gatherings in rain or shine, practices and shares testimonials at home again and again, and specially buys expensive professional suits, and takes the trouble to fly to Xiamen and Jinan for lectures.
people who have dreams are worthy of respect. But those who dream of direct selling, family and friends will suffer.
her home is full of Amway products, bottles and jars, and there are many kinds of beautiful things. There is performance pressure in direct selling. If you don't stock up, you can't finish the task, and you won't get the so-called "commission".
It's useless to dissuade her. She will say firmly, "You don't understand at all!" Brother-in-law and in-laws argue with her constantly, and they always shake their heads and sigh when they mention her.
Relatives and friends should buy some toothpaste, detergent, protein powder and so on more or less because of their feelings.
That's all. What I can't stand most is that she says Amway is good when she meets people. Anyone who disagrees with it is very excited and very serious. Don't give up any chance, use every possible point to develop offline, and finally everyone around you will avoid it.
At last, I persisted for more than 2 years, losing money all the time, and finally gave up helplessly and lost.
after she stopped direct selling, our brothers and sisters helped her to eat Amway protein powder for a long time because she hoarded too much goods. Finally, some of them were overdue and thrown away.
does anyone make money in direct selling? Yes, but very few.
how about direct selling? It is a matter of opinion.
in terms of business model, it is assumed that direct selling can expand infinitely, because the number of people on the earth is limited, and the last group of people who join are doomed to have no offline development and can never make money.
moreover, direct selling products are generally expensive, which seriously deviates from the value of the products themselves.
for most ordinary people, direct selling mainly depends on human feelings, and it starts by overdrawing the emotional line of relatives and friends. Once the human feelings are exhausted, the dream of making a fortune will come to wake up.
why do direct sellers like meetings so much? On the one hand, meetings are charged, and organizers can make a full profit through meetings; On the other hand, direct selling companies should constantly instill the dream of making a fortune in direct sellers through the forms of "sharing", "tearing up" and "how many goods they publicly promise to sell", and constantly "chicken blood" to keep the direct sellers passionate and motivated for as long as possible.
In the era of closed information, people lack understanding and horizontal comparison of direct selling industry and direct selling products, so direct selling can be popular. Today, with the rapid and highly transparent dissemination of information, the direct selling industry, which makes money by pulling people's heads, is doomed to decline.
but up to now, there are many varieties of direct selling industry, and many people are flocking to it.
it's not that these people don't understand the disadvantages and problems, but
