MLM – Seems People Either Hate Them Or Are Them
News reports say that the tough economy is swelling the ranks of part-timers in various MLM organizations. Odds are they will be attending networking events.
My partner & I have noticed that a segment of the networking public takes issue with those in the direct selling industry, commonly known as MLM (Multi-level Marketing). We occasionally get negative comments about their presence at events and we have noticed that some networking organizations ban them outright. See Example
What’s the deal? MLM is a legitimate business model. Why do some groups ban them and why do some people complain about their presence?
Does the industry as a whole suffer from a bad PR rap? Are the business practices of a few hurting the reputation of them all?
