I work in a gas station, I have a regular customer who I've had for about 6 years who is in the process of recovery, she has my phone number and I've seen her go through a lot, but as somebody who lost a sibling to addiction I have a special place in my heart for people who are struggling, so I don't judge and I love them unconditionally. One day my customer came in and was telling me about how she's been clean for 6 months on that day, I told her I'm proud of her and we started talking about life, unbeknownst to us there was another customer in the store listening to our conversation, she always stepped aside when another customer came up and we'd continue after the customer left, but this customer was different, she mentioned how she "overheard" the conversation and how her aunt's husband's daughter was going through addiction and the only thing that helped her was being charge of her own life, by investing in herself and starting her own business, I was internally rolling my eyes knowing where it was going, I was surprised that my customer (first one) said, no thank you I don't do MLM's! didn't give this lady the opportunity to even say the name of it, the hun was stunned and retorted, it's not an MLM it's a business opportunity we do social selling. My first customer said, if it sounds like an MLM and if it looks like a MLM it's likely a MLM and I'm not interested, I let out an audible laugh and the hun paid for her things and left. I started talking to customer 1 again and she said, she didn't know anything about MLM's before but started watching this blond lady on KZitem and learned so much about how to beware of them, I asked her what the KZitemrs name was and she pulled out her phone and it was you! I laughed and said I have been following you for a year now and we talked about how kind you are even to huns who you always give grace to.. best conversation this week! I kinda hope she reads this in your comments too but I really wanted to say you make a difference in a small town in southern Michigan

As someone who was briefly in Avon long ago, they probably left an Avon catalog. Avon calls them "brochures" but they are full catalogs. There is no order form with the brochure, it just has the rep's phone number/email/website on the back for placing an order. It's very old school. I suspect those Avon reps were asking for the brochures back on their own because they paid at least a couple bucks for each one and probably aren't making anything back from their investment.

ohh dear, that recovery one is rough. I’m 5+ years sober myself, but I used to be heavily addicted to intravenous “H” and “C” - I lost my brother and several of my closest friends to it before I was able to turn the page myself, and I’m super lucky to even be alive. Hearing the way this person is using recovery to pitch their “opportunity” might be the slimiest, downright _gross_ things I’ve heard YET on this channel (and as everyone knows, the competition is fierce!) In terms of the prospective audience’s vulnerability, one big factor is that severe addiction tends to up-end one’s career: you lose your job, and it becomes increasingly difficult to find and keep employment, so once you are IN recovery and trying to put your life back together, you might have big gaps in your work history / resume, and then it’s even MORE difficult to find legitimate, gainful employment. Somebody in that position might be more inclined to see these kinds of “be your own boss” MLM pitches as their only option to earn a living, and be more susceptible to it. So sketchy D:

One thing you didn't touch on, is that they're expecting you to put the brochure back in your box, at which time they GO INTO YOUR MAILBOX to fish out their brochure. When i was a kid none of us had locks on our mailboxes so I guess anyone could technically do that.

The hype is unreal for every seasonal product launch and that conference thing they do each year where many reps easily spend 1k. And every month there is a special freebies where if you spend so much, you get free product. The highest tier was $400 and we were always encouraged by uplines that if we were serious about our biz we would hit that 400 tier mark because we could more experiences, more stories, more selling points and it was a fast track to the top to spend more money and have more product. I could never afford that though, thankfully. Also they use all that product as rank gifts and incentives to their downlines and as samples to lure in new people.

I know this is an old video, but you talking about how potent the Young Living oils are reminded me of when I was helping a Young Living rep at one of my old jobs (in a chocolate shop, where the entire store does in fact smell like chocolate). She smelled absolutely RANK with essential oils omg. I'm not particularly sensitive to scents but I had such a headache. The EO stench lingered as well for at least an hour, drowning out any scent of chocolate one would hope to smell upon entering a chocolate shop. (I knew she was a YL rep because she was wearing a YL branded jacket). Idk how much oil she was wearing, or how she was using it, but my god I couldn't believe it.

Post # 2 literally makes me sick. As someone in recovery from a serious drug and alcohol addiction, this is so predatory and disgusting. No business or person is going to get or keep you sober. This disease is real and tragic and people die every day from the lack of help and information available. I just found out my friend passed away last night and he was previously sober. I cannot even count the number of friends I've lost in recovery to this disease. None of them would have lived because they joined this or any mlm. I hope the person who sent you this is doing ok and I'll be thinking of them 💗

I bought a set of oils (non mlm) to make custom scents with and I could smell it before opening- a new unopened kit. I made some oil combinations with a roller bottle and diluting them and it was a lot cheaper than mlm stuff.

Lol that last one…. I had something similar happen to me as well. I live with my fiancé and his dad… well I got home from work one day and his dad handed me a Avon packet. The lady that lives 3 houses down from us apparently is in that company and she talked to my FIL and told him “I noticed there’s a young girl living here, would you give this to her and have her buy something from me?” I literally started laughing so hard I cried a little. (I was a little excited that I had an encounter with an mlm) My FIL was confused and asked me what was going on and I explained to him what a mlm is and how the company that lady works for is one. He straight up said “we’re throwing this away” 🤣🥳 He told me what the lady looks like and her name so that if she ever tries to stop me on my way into the house, I will be prepared to come up with a story to get out of it🤣

Hannah, I recently came across your channel and love binging the influencer and MLM content! I have never experienced an MLM before or knew much about it. It is so crazy how I started binging your content and then yesterday experienced a recruiter at Walmart for what I assume is an MLM company. I was in the medicine aisle minding my business and this nice woman struck up a conversation with me complimenting my bag. We start chatting about how we are new to the city, and she asks where I work. I tell her I work in the neighboring city, and she points out how that commute seems long. She asks me what I do and I tell her my profession and then she says she works in business marketing helping people transform their time for money. So because I have been educated by you, I immediately started to realize what she was trying to do. She asked if I liked my job and if I didn't she had a business opportunity I could be a part of. I told her I liked my job but thanks for offering and then we went our separate ways. That was so weird to me!! had I not been educated by your content maybe I would have been intrigued or something lol but thankfully not. Just wanted to share this story lol!

I had a similar experience with an Avon rep a few months ago! They shoved their catalogue through my mailslot and put on it "I'll be around at x time to pick this up!" Side note, I work nights and I don't remember exactly when she came by but it was in the middle of the day when I was asleep. I have a sign on my door saying not to knock as I will be sleeping, definitely didn't deter her. I grumpily threw the stupid thing at her and told her to take her pyramid scheme elsewhere and let me sleep. She wasn't impressed lol

When I was in an MLM, I was too young (20) to know what an MLM was or why they had a bad name. So I was confused as to why they taught us to say 'no, we're direct sales and that's different' (back in the day before they came up with any really weird names to deflect the bad rep). I think young people even today really don't know. Maybe the 20 yr olds know more than I did ten years ago, but I think even still, they might genuinely believe these excuses the company gives, without even knowing why they need to say it. I wish I had looked into it back then, I enjoy looking into things, but I was too busy looking into the product ingredients (health & wellness company). I guess I'm just trying to say that this education is really important. I know well by now, but I remind myself that others don't. P.S. Hi, Zeke!!!!

The whole “be your own boss” when you literally have to have an up line, like sure you’re not dealing with the ceo god of whatever pyramid they’re in but they still answer to their up line! ESPECIALLY if they are one of the few “successful” sellers! You still have a “boss”, I truly would love to be a fly on the wall of these reps once they turn off the camera, like do they hate themselves or do they truly believe in the bullshit that they just spat into the camera.

My spouse passed away in April, just after our 20th Anniversary. G-d rest her soul. The one good thing to come out of this mess is that she no longer is involved with MLM's. Scentsy took up our dining room until I put my foot down and started moving some of that stuff to the garage. She tried purchasing some of their cleaning products, but I wouldn't use them. "Baby, I love you, but no. This is nothing but lemon scented water and sludge. These aren't cleaning products." That and nearly every single article of clothing she owned was from Lularoe. And she got involved with Jordan Essentials at the very end. And she had more skin care and bath products than I ever realized. You keep buying more of this stuff when you haven't finished what you already have. You know this stuff has a shelf life, right?" I never understood why she kept buying more and more of their products, but now it makes sense.
