Frustrated w/the amount of posting
I'm super frustrated but feeling guilty at the same time. One of my closest friends has been sucked in and the amount of posting she does on the products has me THISCLOSE to unfollowing her.
At first she claimed she was only going to do it for the discount. But then she started to grow her team. Now she's working towards incentives and in order to meet the goals, she has been nonstop posting on all social media forms about the product. Like no where on her socials is anything about her or her life anymore. The text messages are always about new team members, can I come to one of her set ups, can I place an order.
She was in a really weird place before starting this and now she seems to be happier (?), motivated, more social, so I feel terrible that this annoys me so much. I also don't hate the product and do use it occasionally 🙄 (solely because I can't find anything that lasts as well), but it is becoming Too Much and I'm struggling as to how to proceed. I know if I say something, she will spiral... just frustrated and confused.

Can Kangen water be harmful?
My mum bought Kangen water around a year ago. Her friend advertised it and roped her into buying it. She convinced one person to buy it (her friend) by raving about the health benefits. She did not tell anyone that she plan to buy an expensive machine that makes water acidic or alkaline; and she SHAMED everyone in the house into drinking from it. I thought nothing of it because water has a certain acidity level and I will drink the safest acidity level. She does not speak English and she has very limited education. If it is harmful, I would love to show her proof (iPhone translation is very helpful).
I hope it’s not the water but I am getting sicker. I hope it’s age and lifestyle. Today, the water is sour/ metallic tasting. I’m currently taking antibiotics and one of the side effects is change of flavour so I thought it was me but I drank tap water… it’s the Kangen bs.

I think I was in an MLM
Hey, I just wanted to share my story about a job I recently quit because it seemed a bit like an MLM scheme. Honestly I wasn’t sure because it wasn’t on that master list, but either way the business seemed really strange.
As a little background, I was on a contract for a completely different company and the contract ended up being cut short by 2 months and they gave us less than 2 weeks to find a new job or be unemployed. So to say I was desperate for a job would be a bit of an understatement.
This company in Savannah, Georgia, is known as Clear Path Executives. I saw an ad on Indeed that they were hiring a new event manager. I’d never done anything like that before but it seemed like a pretty easy setup. The job was to set up and host fundraisers for non-profit organizations. That sounded great, I love helping people, so helping people as a job seemed like a dream come true. I managed to land a phone interview, then a video one. The video interview is where things stayed to feel fishy. They mentioned the pay. I’d get paid a base hourly rate but most of my pay would be based on how many donations I would get, not too bad. They even said I could make over $1,00 a week if I did really well with my donations. I was a little skeptical, but when they offered me a position starting the week after my contract ended, I jumped on it (not wanting to be unemployed).
So the the first day, they go more in depth on the pay. Hourly, but it’s only $8 an hour. Not great, like at all. Then they went more into detail on the donations. For every donation I received, I would be paid 30% of the amount for a one time donation. We were really trying to encourage monthly donations though, so they’d match whatever monthly amounts I made at 100% (assuming they did not cancel their monthly payments like a week or so in). That’s not so bad then, so I just need people to donate to help our breast cancer, surely that won’t be too hard!
When I finally arrived to my first fundraising event, I realized how much of an impossible task this was. Not only were we not allowed to take any cash donations (lots of people loved to try and handle cash, but I was never allowed to take it), but the minimum donation people could give as a one-time donation was $30. You could make a $20 donation, but that had to be monthly. I thought I was doing well at first. I was making around $100 - $150 in donations for the non-profit! However that did not equate to a whole lot for me.
I started to really question things when someone I was asking for donations from mentioned that he looked into our non-profit (the one we worked for was United Breast Cancer Foundation) and found online that a large percentage of his donations would actually be going to ceos rather than to the people who need it. I was mortified, so I called my boss and she denied this. She said that the article he was citing was outdated. That had to explain it. I kept getting frustrated with how they were acting about the donations. They kept saying I could do better, I could get more people to donate if I just pushed harder. I needed to encourage higher amounts, monthly donations. I had to keep doing more. It finally hit me when we sat down and I wrote down all my bills for the month, then they helped me calculate how much should be making a day in donations to Mae sure my bills were paid. I needed to make around $300 in one time donations to pay my bills. And maybe it would have been possible if we weren’t constantly being stationed in front of dollar trees and bargain bin stores, you know where broke people like myself shop? But this just wasn’t working. I tried to be courteous and give a proper 2-week notice, but when I told my boss she just said they don’t do two weeks so I’m either staying or leaving. I ended up choosing to leave. So, despite my best efforts, I’m back at square one. I am not unemployed, luckily since I was laid off prematurely at my last job I have been able to qualify for unemployment so fingers crossed that all goes through and I can at least pay part of my

Performance Windows
I saw a post about them a while back asking if this was an MLM and I wanted to shed some light on it.
Performance Windows does 99% of their sales via door to door salesman. These salesman are simply volunteers until they make an actual sale - meaning it is 100% commission. There is no paperwork involved in getting hired. No application, no tax papers to fill out, no IDs to check, nothing. Well, there might be a handshake and a "welcome aboard" but that's it.
Their sales pitch is aggressive and are taught to ignore all soliciting signs and when the customer says "no". This results in a lot of angry people slamming doors in their faces vowing to never do business with them. The salesman CANNOT go off script. If a customer asks a question that is not within the script, they are told to tell them they can't answer that right now but if they set up an appointment, someone can. Going off script is highly frowned on. The crew meets before going out to knock and acts out different scenarios and how to avoid and pivot. Most scenarios are from actual encounters from another sales person, perhaps from the previous day or so.
The pitch is not a lie, but it is deceptive. The wording is very carefully crafted, which again, is why you cannot go off script. They don't want you to say something and then they can't back it up and make a sale. They tell EVERYONE their home will be a model. However, once they get a sale or two in a neighborhood, they bounce. Can't have every house on the street with a "model home for Performance Windows" sign in the front yard. They have to sell that illusion. And they don't care what the house looks like. As long as they made a sale, it's now a model home. Also, their "sale" for today only is a lie. It's every day. They also focus on the elderly. It's easier to pressure them to purchase new windows they didn't really need.
I can't speak if their Windows are over priced or not as I've never done Windows replacements on my own home, so I'm no expert in pricing. However, they must be overpriced because when the salesman DOES make a sale, they get a huge payout. The payout is split between the salesperson, the closer, the installers, and the market director. The salesman usually receives a minimum of $1k up to $20k depending on how big the sale was, the next levels up receive more. When you sell at cost windows 30% off, no way you could continue paying those kind of commissions to those involved. Which leads me to believe, they are not truly "at cost".
The sales people lean on recruiting HARD. If someone they recruit gets a sale, they get a small slice of the pie as well. Hence, where an MLM is starting. However, I still wouldn't call this an MLM, just a shady business with a few MLM tactics. A lot of the recruiters and transplant sales people live together. Seems like a lot of them are friends of friends and a lot of "college dudes" who partied together.
The company does yearly conventions for their top sales people and market directors/owners. They also take their top people to Mexico for vacation every year. Like a yearly business retreat I guess.
The owners are Mormons from Utah which explains why they focus heavily on door to door tactics and the ignoring of no solicitation signs. Also explains the hints of MLM tactics since Utah seems to be the motherlode of MLMs.
Consensus, not a standard MLM business in my opinion. However, I do find it shady to hire people with zero paperwork to fill out. I also find it shady to sell "at cost" Windows while somehow paying extravagant salaries to the sales team.
This is all from my personal experience by the way. Maybe it was just the market I was in, but it seems like this is how the do business across the board in multiple states.

MLMs in your Country
Here in Ireland MLMs never took off. My logic for this is that in Ireland we would just slag someone who was posting and shilling so much that they would not be encouraged enough to do it.
I went to work once in a cardigan with a letter on it and was called high school musical for the day. Another time I wore a trench coat and was called inspector gadget.
Is there anyone on here from a country that they did or didn't take off and what do you think the reason is?

Old "friends" suddenly come out of the woodwork!
On another sub someone was asking how they could politely decline a social invitation from an old friend from school that they hadn't seen or talked to in a very long time. Along with the different suggestions that people gave, every other response said, "RUN! They want to sell you MLM!" And this probably explains why people who I haven't spoken to in several years ghost me whenever I contact them. LOL 🤣😂🤣
And I get it because through the small talk I mention that I'm doing great financially. I make good money, I have financial freedom, passive income, more time to do the things I enjoy, etc. and that's about the time that they're ready to end the call. Then it clicks in and I realize what I just said. "No! Noooo.. You don't understand. That's not what I mean. This is MY thing.. that I worked hard for..." Uh huh.. yeah... that's what all MLMers say.
So my question for the group today is this:
When was the last time an old obscure friend or acquaintance reached out to you to sell an MLM?
How weird was the interaction? How did you remove yourself from the conversation and future conversations? Or did you fall into the trap hook, line, and sinker? How long did they beat around the bush before they told you the REAL reason for the phone call?
As for myself I got a phone call from this woman who used to work for my parents. It was one of those "tech" MLM's where they sell you internet phones, cheap cell phones and tablets, cloud storage service, and a bunch of other tech knick-knacks that nobody really wants or needs. This was around 2016 and so I'm sure it probably sounded exciting to someone who didn't know the difference. But she was trying to peddle it to me.. an IT guy with his own IT business who KNOWS that stuff is GARBAGE.
I politely declined at first but after she kept persisting I told her exactly what I thought about it. She got defensive and said, "I'm really surprised and disappointed. You're an IT GUY. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS STUFF IS TOP QUALITY.

bills until I get a real job.
But what would you all say, does this sound like an MLM scam? I honestly can’t tell, possibly because of all the brainwashing they had me go through. If it is, I’d love to try and get this reported. The whole premise was to make enough to qualify for a leadership position. Then once you were a leader you could become an assistant manager, then an owner, them more. You were always supposed to be able to grow but it just never felt like I could get off the ground. Maybe I really was just not good at the job. Who knows.
