Why is it when a person tells me how I shouldn't look at MLM as an option they can't provide anither option?

Usually when someone tells you not to look at MLM they have tried and failed.  You may be very good at it, so don't let those negative soles discourage you.  I am building a very successful MLM and truely enjoying myself.

Ignore it. \nIf any one ask you about the rumor just say it is not true, and you don't have time for that kind of talk... ignore them... people who like rumors like to see people get mad and affected about what they've said... if you act like you don't care, they will eventually stop picking on you.

Honesty is your best tool. I was on sales once and I hated people that gave me an appointment just because he/she was shy to tell me "no" on the phone. They make me waste my time and I make them waste theirs. So a polite "no thanks" (because he/she is only trying to bring food to the table) is more than enough.

I used to do this, I don't anymore. I was proud once to be called the dip queen, I am sure you know that dips are new customers. What worked for me was the fact that I did not come across as a telemarketer... If you do that, then most people will get negative right off.... I started with hey how are you? Then I listened (I didn't just run off with the mouth), people like to be listened to. I would respond to what they said, and then mention the deal... I would say something like (to bring them off guard)... oh well guess what? You may get angry at first, when I tell you this, but I have something I need to tell you, I am one of those annoying telemarketers. Yeah I remember when I used to get mad at them. They would laugh, and say something like okay, what's your spill? It worked for me... I hope it helps. Oh, and remember, you may still get hung up on allot, but don't think about it, just go straight to the next one. The more people you call, the better your chances are.

You have to think of it as a business transaction and keep your feelings out of it as much as possible.  The reasons for rejection are varied and very rarely is it because they do not think you are a good person.

Any psychic resorting to those tactics is a phony.\n\nYou need to remove yourself from their email list to stop the spam emails.\n\nThere are much better ways of finding good psychic advice.

They are telling you what they think you want to hear. Don't fall for it. You are not helpless! God bless

It sure sounds like you are greedy and I sure would not want to be your client. Do any profession that does not not not deal with people. Money is not the answer and how I learned that from life.

Sometimes, the person doesn't want advice and especially not to be judged (not assuming it, but it does happen). Just being there to listen can do more good than one actually realizes.\n\n\njoandra_vandowall@yahoo.com

"For example, if you overheard a piece of a conversation where the person was saying how they could afford to buy something new, and you knew that they had debts with someone locally, would you confront them about the purchase or would you contact the person they owed? "\n\nI just took a tid bit out but you can see where I am taking this from.  Right there you are contradicting your argument.\n\nIn one section you are talking about eaves dropping and not getting into other peoples business. And in another you talking about confronting someone about someone else's problem.  You have a point I just feel that you are explaining your self the wrong way.  Gossip will happen all of your life in every place you go. Work, School, even Church.  \n\nI can understand that it is frustrating when you hear people do this, but technically you are doing it yourself and not even realizing it.  When you hear someone say something behind someones back and you tell your friend "Now that is messed up." and then rant about people being the way they are and talk about how they should say that to that persons face, you are just doing it yourself.\n\nLet me ask you this. If you hear someone saying something about your friend, you would confront them about it, but would you also go and tell your friend that so and so was saying this about them.\n\nBy no means am I cutting up your question I am just suggesting to you to take a closer look at the situation and realize that everyone does it to a degree, some more than others but we all do it.

Well, it is odd when the interference has not been requested, as we ought to know that such a thing encourages others to interfere in our business.  But here in Yahoo! Answers, people ask very personal questions at times, and I figure they are looking for real advice.  If that is interference, so be it.

I don't know what this is all about, but believe what you want. It's your right! As long as you don't push your beliefs on someone else then by all means think as you wish. It's really not anyone else's business!

People do know it's annoying, in fact it can be tougher and all would have thought of quitting. Look at it this way. All people hate it when a salesman come over trying to sell something. Yet, every now and then there will be buyer. If you don't like it, just say no. You make your decision. Sure it's not easy trying to sell, but they do it for a reason. So, when someone preaches something, they have their reason and they do it for a reason too. If it doesn't suit your ear, just kindly say no. Whether it's going to convert you or not, only you yourself can decide.

He does not want to commit to the offer , or is looking for something better. He may just be no good.Certainly sounds like I would never do business with some one like that. No sense of business courtesy.

tej ~\n\nBefore taking anyone's half-baked advice about which opportunities to accept and which to reject, you must understand that:\n\nA.) The name "multilevel marketing" is merely one of several given to a legitimate business model, not unlike the terms "franchise," or "traditional brick and mortar."\n\nC.) The gritty "facts" given by "psd1941" about working in MLM are NOT universal. Whether or not you'll need 'ample convincing power' or will need to work 'not less than 8 to 12 hours a day', or '85% of your down-line will remain inactive' are not hard-and-fast truths, but are possibilities which are almost exclusively determined by your choice of "opportunity."\n\nB.) I agree: there are few worthwhile opportunities to be found among the thousands of less-than-worthy ones. But they are out there. In order to avoid the numerous “undesirables” and narrow your choice to one of the few worthy ones, you'll need to arm yourself with solid, practical info that will enable you to tune out the "white noise" and use discernment in making a wise choice.\n\nPurpose to do this first ~ equip yourself with the honest, practical information you need ~ and these time and energy wasting experiences need not be a part of your experience.\n\nCarlos Whitfield\nContributing Editor, "MLM The Whole Truth"

Turning it into a joke usually works the best for me. For instance if someone asks how much is your rent, you can reply with "Too much! Way too much, in fact i think i'll stop paying it soon and live in a cardboard box", or if someone asks how much you make, i've used "not enough, i'm really not sure i'll be able to pay off my private jet any time soon". Something along those lines usually lets the person know that you are not willing to give out specifics, yet at the same time it's not rude or hurtful to them.
