Common questions people may have when you invite them for MLM meeting
Common questions on MLM and the appropriate answers that can be given:
- Is this a MLM (Multi Level Marketing), Pyramid, chain marketing or similar stuff?
- How long the presentation is going to be If I meet you?
- Are you going to stand behind me everyday to make me join the business?
- I don’t have any marketing skills, I think I cannot do this business.
- What happens f I join the business and unable to continue the business? won’t I be in huge loss?
My answers for you (Answers may slightly vary from company to company):
- This is a Direct Marketing concept where you buy the products directly from the company without any intermediate wholesalers or retailers in between, hence you get the products at a discounted price. There is no compulsion that you need to refer someone. You can just start using the products for yourselves buying them at discounted price. If you are convinced, satisfied and happy with the products and feel that your friends may need this product or these products would help your friends to have good health and beauty, then you can refer them to the company. As your friends start purchasing the products from the company, company pays you a part of the profit since you have acted as an advertiser here (else company should have spent more money on advertising and marketing).
- If you plan to attend the one to one presentation with me, it hardly takes an hour to give you the overall picture. If you plan to attend our weekly presentation, it’s 2 hours. (I don’t think, spending 2 hours to learn something on Health and Wealth should be a big matter).
- Once you attend the presentation, choice is absolutely yours. No one is going to force you to join the company. Our duty is just to show you the overall picture and it’s your choice to proceed further.
- Even if you don’t have marketing skills, nothing to worry. Because in the beginning you are going to use the products. So once you get amazing results out of the products, you will start talking to people about the products with GREAT CONVICTION which is powerful than any other marketing skills. However company supports you every now and then with training on products and marketing.
- If you quit the business anytime, you don’t lose anything as you don’t pay any deposit. You pay the company only for the products you purchase and you don’t pay for anything else. So at any point of time, you are not going to be in loss.Tags: MLM Invite, Prospecting, Marketing Skills, Direct Marketing, Network Marketing, Referral Marketing

Home Web Profit: Another online scam attempts to lure people with the promise of riches for basic typing work done from home

Why would anyone offer Rs15,500 ($256) a day to do basic typing work? Well, it appears to be a straight scam, without even pretending to run a business or create a pyramid. It simply asks people to register FREE, seekscredit card details, ostensibly as age-proof and begins by siphoning off money from members’ accounts.

An email scam called ‘Web Profits From Home’ has apparently managed to ensnare hundreds of Indians with the promise of extraordinary returns form some simple typing work. In fact, it offers a whopping $257(Rs15,500) per day for typing work. The catch is that although it offers a free registration on its website homewebprofit.com as a limited period offer which would otherwise cost $99 (approximately Rs6,200 today). However, it requires potential members to provide credit card details, ostensibly for age-proof and there are innumerable complaints that the company has immediately deducted anywhere between $99 to $119(Rs7,000) on these credit cards.

The online company homewebprofit.com is based in the US and claims to provide basic typing work to be done online. It further lures people by saying that the work does not require any special technical skills, intelligence and mastery and is persons across the world who are looking for easy income opportunities by working from home.

Apart from the extraordinary returns, another give-away for even slightly sensible investors should be the hard-selling tone of typical MLM’s & Get-Rich-Quick Schemes —“Try it today, be your own boss, set your own hours! Join the thousands who already made Money using this system! Don’t miss the opportunity”. Had it indeed been such a mega opportunity, the company would have been flooded with more applicants than it could ever handle.

Naturally complaints are already piling up from Indians. These include young, unemployed and retired persons and housewives. The website scambook.com (http://www.scambook.com/search?search=home+web+profit&sort=date) shows 379 complaints filed so far, claiming losses of $1,36,382(Rs84,50,000) caused by homewebprofit.com

Balvinder shared how she got trapped by homewebprofit.com saying, “I received an email message to make Rs3,87,000 to Rs4,40,000 a month from home. I click on it and there is a pop up showing that it is free of cost. But the webisite asked my credit card details saying these were only required for age proof. When I filled details they deducted Rs1,254 from my account on 26 September 2013. I mailed them my complaint. Their site shows invalid numbers. On 29 September 2013, I got shocked after receiving message on my cell that Rs6,189 has been deducted by same company with different name Anchorage at Applied Training Online. I have no idea why this happened with me. I am very poor widow and the earning hand in my family”

Another member complains that $119 was deducted from his account although the company claims not to have deducted the money.
Interestingly, US-based website is taking care not to dupe citizens of US and Canada. The website clearly states that “Sorry this offer is not available in US or Canada” . Yet, the website touts big American media names in a gimmicky fashion – it claims to have advertised on CNN, USAToday, ABC & MSNBC in order fool the very gullible.

It also has an Indian site ‘newsonlineweekly.com’ which published “success stories” to entrap people to join this site. One such story is about an Indian mother who reportedly managed to earn Rs4,09,386 per month after joining this site. The story has an image of the lady and her daughter with their first cheque of Rs8,795. Tellingly, it does not allow comment and the section is closed with a message: “Comments have been closed due to spam. Please check back later” . This website follows the same gimmick of touting its own advertisements on Lokmat, Dainik jagran as a credibility booster.

Moneylife has frequently warned that “If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.” This is clearly another in the same category.
