SO much discussion re: MLM/Thrive while I was gone. No, I don’t use it or sell it but not seeing the relevance (yet).
As someone else said similar, a consumer (OR someone that signs up as a rep) has the ownus to do their research. Period.
Also, as I think about my corporate career here in the US and the standard bonus structure:
I sell $44.9M USD to clients. My new bonus structure is suddenly based in EVERYone’s “performance” in the Company yes, (a whole other topic). But, based on my generated revenue, my boss automatically gets 2%, his boss gets 5%, her boss gets 10%, etc. So a MULTI TIERED bonus structure based on generated revenue from sales and marketing. Think on that, read it again, and think on that some more. I didn’t realize this myself until all this OT talk got me to really start thinking.
The problem is there is very little research one can do about products not regulated by the FDA. But there is some research available on the 'net about Le-vel's false advertising, bad customer service, refusal to issue refunds and automatically billing for products customers did not order.
