I’m bringing back an article we published a few years ago about false earnings claims. I love these videos of sales directors lying about how much money is made in Mary Kay. The false earnings claims are so rampant because that is the top way women are recruited into Mary …
Almost everyone loses money in multi-level marketing. Sure, you hear people say “I know several people who have made a lot of money in MLM.” This is nonsense for three reasons: 1. People rarely see proof for this “making a lot of money.” 2. These claims are almost always false …
