  1. This is fun! I don't recall the exact year but several different people I knew approached me at about the same time. None of these people knew the other but they all knew me. I attended a presentation at a large auditorium to watch the speaker brag about resigning his business as a Dentist and now spent all of his time giving FREE lectures about HIS "success" selling "soap" by organizing people with skectehes of his printed ZEROes or circles on the large front sceeen of the auditorium. I laughed during the presentation and declared that it looked like a Ponzi scheme. I was quickly reprimanded that it was an MLM marketing campaign and soap was only a part of "the busieness". Just for fun, I decided to test my "Upline" sponsor. I don't need to buy any "sales kits: ( about $75? each) to sell soap. Instead, I could make a few telephone calls and sell so much soap they couldn't handle the orders. At that time I was a Director of a large Medical center department and personally knew directors and Chief Contracting officers of other large businesses.. Inside of three days, I got verbal commitments on annual contracts of over $20,000/ month for the first trial period of one year for just ONE customer! I knew many potential customers worth millions of dollars worth of annual contracts. I contacted my "Upline" and he got MAD! I said" You are upset I got a demonstration contract for over $240,000 for detergent? !! " He and "they" gave me the boring story of the zeroes and circles again and I told them "Sorry but I am out and don't want to waste my time" . I will call up my contacts and cancel the Contract quotes before I submit the paperwork. How many "MLM" "representatives" sell > $240,0000+ annual soap contracts the first year? In ONE phone call? It might be legal but I don't want to waste my valuable time listening to moron lectures about "zeroes" and circles. I passed the word on to other medical Center Directors " NO Soap For You!"
