[quote=Anonymous]I am fully aware how most MLM companies work, and that "consultants" don't earn much from product sales, but mostly by recruiting new members. I reluctantly agreed to host an event for my sister, who of course thinks her MLM company is the cat's meow, so fantastic! She even took a sabbatical from her job to pursue this. I've tried some of the products, they're fine, but nothing out of the ordinary and definitely not worth the $$ they charge. I have been enthusiastically providing feedback on the social media groups created for the event, but response has been worse than tepid. Only 2 people have RSVP'd, and one of them is my mother. My sister has only posted two videos about the company, both touting the benefits of becoming a consultant (stock videos from the website). Nothing describing products, why they are great, why someone should shell out the $ for them, why they should attend the event, etc. I have offered these suggestions and more, they have fallen on deaf ears. In sum, she stinks at this.

Do I share with her my disapproval of MLM after this event, which I suspect will be a complete failure? Do I tell her to go back to work? She has already tried to enlist me to join, beyond "No thanks," do I say anymore? I really believe this is a complete waste of time and $, especially for her - she is not entrepreneurial in the least, seems to know nothing of basic marketing, and is not a people person. WWYD? Be frank, honest, or just let her learn the hard way? My hesitation in being honest is that she is defensive, and will assume I am just being negative, unsupportive, when there is a wealth of research and anecdotal stories to demonstrate why someone with her personality and lack of a "killer instinct" won't go far in MLM. Thanks for any for any feedback.[/quote]
