PSA: No one wants to attend your MLM party - virtual or not

[Anonymous]

I don’t care if it’s online, in person, via email, via Facebook, via carrier pidgeon. I don’t care if your product is old, new, different, better, or “not an mlm.” Nobody and I mean nobody except maybe your mom wants to buy your crap. And probably she’s just being nice.

Please, for the love, just STOP.

People are still doing that? They never learn, do they?

I sell Rodan and everyone loves coming to my parties. So maybe it’s just YOU

I just ignore but I'm kind about it - they are mostly poor SAHM trapped and desperate for $.

HAHA. Hey, Hun! Yeah, no, they don’t. They feel obligated. Nobody wants your overpriced MLM crap.

I want to go to a pampered chef party. Ooes anyone still do that? I liked that one.

I grew up as a kid in the ‘70’s w/a Mom who threw the absolute best Tupperware parties.

Lots of friends, good food + fun games w/prizes, etc.

I had zero idea it was all a sham. 😧

YMMV but I’ve had the opposite experience: a big pharma sales rep (she had a lot of parties), lead software engineer with 15+ years of experience in IT, organization behavior consultant employed by an FFRDC, operations engineer at an FFRDC, and an IT director for a large federal contractor just to name a few. I know of one SAHM who was with an MLM.

This excludes people I remember from childhood who had Avon, Tupperware, MaryKaye, Hoda, Stanley Home Products or scented candles. Actually I didn’t know the reps. Only that my mom and grandma were invited to these parties.

If you’re selling flying monsters, I would definitely love the party. I wouldn’t buy one though.

I would totally buy Mothra on an installment plan.

These are bad enough in person, but there’s at least the possibility of booze and maybe socialization with a friend or two as a trade off for listening to some bs and feeling compelled to buy overpriced junk.

But virtual? Hell no. How awkward.

I should add that I have two colleagues who joined the MLMs who don’t sell to anyone to support hobbies: one is an IT small business owner who was big into scrapbooking and an engineer who is into making handmade cards which she’s been doing for 20+ years. Not sure that the first one is still scrapbooking with paper; the second is definitely still into it.

Eh, it's more of an excuse to socialize and mingle. And in your case, a chance to brag and nsme drop about how important you are bc you're a(n) XYZ or work at 123.
