Real SL and Multi Level Marketing

mkis4girls · 02-28-2007, 07:43 PM

You got me, the cup. I haven't ever been to a game. that doesn't mean I am not a fan. However, i have been to very many BYU football and basketball games and NuSkin has been a sponsor of those. Not sure if Utah Jazz have had MLM sponsors, I'll have to research that.

And Czar Jake....good question. No, I was lucky enough to catch my senses just before I decided to get into it. Though I think God must have intervened a couple times because I was very close to getting in (Guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was huh).

However, I have many friends who do this stuff. And yes, though my little rant in the last post was a bit exaggerated, it's not that far from the truth. This is definitely a common occurence. Many (I can't say all though I want to and probably should) MLM recruiters are over the top and the company is designed to get people emotionally attached to the idea that they are going to be VERY RICH with LITTLE EFFORT. Also multiple experiences with summer sales programs have really turned me off to any company that is not 100% straight up honest with you.
Here's a little advice. If you don't understand EXACTLY how you are going to make your money and what you need to do to make it from the very beginning, you probably shouldn't get involved. These companies have point systems and stuff that are so difficult to understand you have to consult Stephen Hawking. They just keep feeding you propaganda and you never take the time to really understand how your money is working. You slowly go more and more into debt. Go ahead and ckeck out one of their meetings, you'll see what it's like. You'll feel how uncomfortable it is and you will feel their pressure.

Seriously! Anything treated as sacred is guaranteed to disappoint. Just accept it for what it is, and then decide if what it is works for you. RSL is a well managed and supported soccer franchise with horrible public relations efforts. That works for me. I like the players and would be disappointed if some of them were not on the team this season, but I won't lose sleep over it.

Anyone know how to get the xango to come off a jersey? Or get a jersey w/o it?

But guess what, I know electricians, clerks, secretaries, even janitors that work hard and come out with a profit at the end of the year. Is it more likely to meet the Pope than to meet someone who has made a profit in MLM....PROBABLY!

Sweet, I know a couple people who have made money in MLM's and I have met a Pope (JP2 when I was 15). How unusual does that make me?

In all reality if you bust your butt and do nothing other than your MLM money can be made. It takes a whole lot of hard work and I have other ways I would rather make money. I would rather have a well rounded life than any amount of money.

I am not and have never been a part of an MLM unless you count purchasing a few select products from one.

However, the people that I know that have made money in MLM's have cult like behavior. Anyhting that makes people at as if they were members of a cult is not for me.

Holy crap dude, you sure are fired up about this whole MLM thing.

I've got an idea: Next time there's a spammer on this site (and trust me, it won't be long now) who's got a line on cheap valium without a prescription, please click the link.

I believe you can get any RSL Jersey from last season... up until may... then they will have the new shipments from Adidas.
After that you will need to check discount outlets and online sale racks.

Team Gear has lots of the jerseys from last season

as for the MLM discussion...
Xango is spending 5 million dollars to put there name on RSL's Jersey.
That is a good some of money and believe it or not... it is not Monopoly money.

All this talk about MLM's is nearly as tedious as all the mormon bashing on Big Soccer.

I have to say that when I saw pictures of the team in Spain and they had their sponsor on the front... It was the first time that I thought RSL actually looked like a proper soccer team and not a team that was just playing at being a soccer team.

The sponsor on the front is a reality and a good sign that MLS is growing up.
So as much as I am indifferent to MLM's... I think that I will buy a few of the xango jersey's to show my support for RSL. because if people don't buy the new xango jersey... the team will certainly not be able to do any better next go round!

I may not buy any Xango but I will buy the jersey's...

You could also try Tahitian Noni Juice. I've heard that it can cure cancer, acne and baldness. And it makes you ten times more likely to have children. I'm sure it also has incredible cleansing powers.

Just be careful. Mixing XanGo and Noni, two of the worlds most powerful liquids together could cause the entire planet to implode and destroy the universal time continuum!

Aero was able to get us RSL jerseys (last year's jersey minus the XANGO) at FANZZ, we struck out at Team Gear. FANZZ called other locations to get me the red one and the size I wanted... try them in the malls. I am not a fan of the new XANGO jersey...

Good Luck! :dancing: It's FRIDAY!
