  MLM is a marketing tools for selling products which need one to one explaination.
  
  You may think that all products are the same.
  
  For e.g. if you go to a retail store to buy health supplements and the retail asst do not have in depth knowledge or worse no time to explain to you what's the benefit and who should be taking the supplement.
  
  In order to understand a product, the best way is by face to face, one to one explaination, by doing so, the customer will be more comfortable and have confident in the product. Any doubts from the customer can be answered immediately.

  which is why in retail stores, like sony gallery in bugis, wisma, they employ full time/part-time salesman (sales consultant if u want to be fancy) to assist the customers in selecting a product that suits their needs! Whats more in retail shops, they have so much more variety of goods which all the more require someone to assist the customer. Come on, most retail outlets or pharmacies have ppl there to assist you in ur choice or drugs or products, u just have to open ur mouth and seek assistance. GNC also have ppl there with so called some kind of training and knowledge to help u choose a suitable supplement for you. Personally I'm skeptical of what these assistants geniunely know, just like im also very skeptical of what mlm sales ppl know about their own products.
  
  Nevertheless, I wish you mlmers all the best. Mlms don't work for me but doesnt mean it wont work for ppl who believe. Good luck!

  I totally agree with you, but one thing retail store don't provide is after sales service, I never heard from the retail store once I bought products from them.
  
  I do understand that if you want to be a good distributor when customer order anything from you, be it the cheapest product ($10-$20) you must deliver to them.
  
  After that you must do follow up to your customer, must always call them to check with them and get feedback from them and if customer not satisfied with the product after using certain percentage, give them a full refund.

  i agree on this point
  
  imagine one guy even tell me, products is not important, its the business opportunity that is important
  
  hogwash!
  
  nobody gonna make me throw in money into a company, hopefully waiting for others to throw some more into that pile, and hopefully by the end of the month i could take a bit out of that pile
  
  its frigging illegal!
