[quote=Anonymous]I signed up to sell Wildtree earlier this year.  I really do like most of the products and knowing they're (mostly) organic and GMO free is an emotional motivator to buy the stuff.  I mean, you only want the best for your family, right?  I think there is a lot of benefit in Wildtree for someone with gluten sensitivity as a large portion of products are GF and prices are comparable to what you find in the store, without having to go digging through the store.

My "upline" is very upbeat, she likes weekly check ins (which I've been dodging for a while now) and the entire organization up to a certain director level (or something, I'm not clear on the heirarchy) has a weekly call to discuss a variety of things; new products, sales strategies, overcoming objections, blah blah blah.  I've been a very slow starter because I just don't like to push anything on my friends.  If I love a product, I will sing it's praises until the cows come home, but I'm not going to go for the tough sell.  That's not my style and never will be.  My launch party was great, I like the freezer meal workshops, although the Wildtree workshops have a significant amount of prep that seems to be an obstacle for several people.  I will say it has helped me quite a bit with meal planning, but you get out of it what you put in.  As far as income, I've probably made $1000 since I started, but I've put little time in to it.  I've met my minimum sales requirement so if I don't have another party for a year, I'm good.  It was about $60 to start and I probably spent another $100 on office supplies.  Of course you can itemize all of this as an expense.

As far as the conference, I didn't go because I didn't want to spend the money.  If you recruit enough, have enough parties, sell enough, you can earn points to cover your registration fee.  I'm not sure if it helps with hotel or travel, but those items are certainly itemized as business expenses.  I suspect the conferences, like with any other MLM, is a giant pep rally and all about pushing the Kool Aid that is (insert company name here.)  The energy is likely contagious and everyone comes home all jazzed up to sell more _______.

That's my MLM story.  Now, who's ready to do some meal planning and eat simple. healthy. natural. meals with Wildtree!   :mrgreen:

FWIW, I had a couple Lia Sophia parties a a few years back and all that shit is falling apart now.  I would be majorly pissed off if I paid full price for that stuff.  I also have some Tupperware, from a party last year, which I love.  If you really want a rep, just go to the website and search your area.  It's usually not a requirement to have a party to order anything, but the host scores freebies for having the party.
