Dear Abby and MLM Business

DEAR ABBY Chills Cranky Mom about MLM

Recently, Dear Abby received a letter from a woman complaining about her daughter joining a “direct sales company” or MLM business.  The mother whined about feeling she was betraying her friends if she invited them to a home party given by her daughter.  Her friends might feel “obligated” to purchase something!  How terrible for them!

DEAR ABBY COME BACK WITH (AND I QUOTE)

“DEAR IN A SPOT: Direct sales companies are rapidly expanding their forces these days, in light of the recession. And many people regard it as an attractive opportunity to replace lost income or hedge against job loss. According to USA Today, there are now roughly 15 million direct sellers in the United States. ”

ABBY GOES ON TO SAY

“With all that “partying” going on — the objective of which is to sell,  — many people have wised up to the fact they are promotional rather than social in nature and refuse the invitations. I see nothing wrong with inviting your friends, as long as they understand, in advance, the purpose of the party as well as the fact that you won’t be personally offended if they do not choose to participate.”

Dear Abby hits it on the head, reactions to MLM as a business opportunity invoke a wide range of emotional responses.  Online MLM and attraction marketing have helped to ease the negative stigma of contacting network marketing leads,  a stigma that was caused by direct sellers approaching family and friends inappropriately and in social situations.

Old School has left the building and attraction marketing with a self funded proposal has replaced the tactics that had tainted the beauty of the system.  “The MLM Lead Generation Strategy” is a new ebook that simplifies the steps necessary to get found online.  Getting your website on the first page of Google searches will throw targeted traffic to your site all day long.
