Ok, so question for you here.  Do you not realize/feel guilty about charging your friends $200 for skin creme that is probably worth $10 just so that all of the people up the pyramid get their cut??  I just don't know how you could do that to your friends?[/quote]

No, absolutely not. One cream is never $200, first of all, it's about $140-$190 for a full 4-piece skincare regimen, which lasts 60-90 days/minimum. Completely in line with Clinique, Estee Lauder, etc. I buy it myself at consultant discount, which is 25% off, so I pay for it just like everyone else and I like it. I used to buy one eye cream for $100 from Estee Lauder at Nordstrom's, it was way more expensive and I think the ingredients in the products I use and sell are better and more effective. They doctors are same ones that created Proactiv, so they are not just some sales people selling random skincare. They actually formulated these products and tested them through clinical trials. Of course, there are people who try the products and don't love them or decide they want to try something else, so they return them for a full refund within 60 days even if they've used them up. You can't do that at any retail store if they have been opened. I see myself as a wholesaler really. Company gets a cut, I get a cut, and yes, the cost is passed down to consumer, just like in any other retail business.  I'm also there and provide great customer service. I manage customer accounts, make sure they're getting right products that work for them, follow up with them, delay and move up their orders, etc. I do a lot of customer care work just like any good store would. If you buy something at the store, that's it. Your transaction is done. I'm always there for my customers and take pride in them being happy bc as you pointed out they are my friends and family.[/quote]

Thankfully for you, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.  Read 17:33 above if you want some pointers.

If I'm a doctor who's created a miracle cream that actually works, my product's going on the shelf of every Wal-Mart, Target, and pharmacy in the country.  While the idea of setting up a pyramid of desperate housewife middlewomen in order to get my product sold does sound mildly appealing, I think I'd rather just cash in right at the start without all the hassle.

MLM's guise of "recruiting" salespeople helps to hide the fact that the product stinks.[/quote]
