USANA Health Sciences: A Bad Case of MLM? [view article]
There are a few fundamental problems with they way Minkow compares.For his comparism on products, it's like taking an 2.0L Mercedes and comparing with a 2.0L Hyundai. Obviously we know which one is more expensive. Following Minkow's arguements, Mercedes is overpriced, because both are cars, both have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, windows and such.
And for business. The attrition rate is the same for ALL MANNER OF BUSINESSES, be it traditional or MLM. 9/10 Failure rate is a norm. Morever, there are no indications of a GUARANTEED success. As with anything, the full potential is highlighted and it is obviously attainable, because people have done so.
And it's as if it isn't far to pay the more successful individuals more money then those who are 1.new and 2. not as successful. It's the way the world works. Any business, Any job, Any industry, the more successful you are, the more you earn. Sue the CEOs of traditional business for earning 10-1000x the salary or their normal employee? Bullsh*t.
And joining an MLM company is starting a REAL business. Many people forget that because it is so easy to join. Well, in a real business, you need to put in effort to get results right? Minkow's interviewees, from they way I see them, expect their business to magically flourish without effort whatsoever. That's their problem, not the company's. An opportunity was provided but not acted upon.
