[nabentre] For customers or business builders

I have to say, that I have some experience in the MLM industry.  This can be a paradox of the industry. Often, you are "trained" to tell people to "look at the facts."  You are often berated by senior team members when you or others display any behavior that is questioning the company, it's products, and earning potential.  He could be responding based on training he received.  
MLM can go either way for the individual.  As a blind person, it was hard telling the difference since people "sounded" interested in the products; however, I never had the advantage of seeing the real facial expressions of disinterest, or, "it is one of those."  I found that often, I was giving away samples, paying auto-ship, and seeing little to no ROI.  
However, my experience is different than anyone reading this. You really need todo your diligent research. That involves adopting a  "believe" in your products, the companies "system" of winning.  
Moreover, unless you have a "in" with someone in the company, you will find that you are excluded.  You may never see the recruiter who got you in; they, were in-front of that hotel room or church basement to have people sign-up only.  Finally, when you hear constantly how "company X" has made "X amount" in sales, or is on track to "make X" amount next year, be careful.  That can imply the following.  We at "company X", are hurting.  We need sign-ups, please help, remember to do auto-ship, etc. Often, when I was in my last and only MLM, when people heard of team members struggling, the leadership would keep reminding us to be positive. Although that sounds good, they would start "story telling" of how the top people took years in order to meat a set of goals. 
Believe me, as blind people we are in a trap. These can look like ways out since we appear to be in control and have a "leg up" on the employment problem we face. However, you are really paying a small fee to start a real business.  This means that you need to prepare yourself to do all the things you would if you were going to run a business.  For that matter, you would be better-off, getting your own products, supplies, and a loan for a real physical or online store.
I wish you well, have a good evening.
