Many people say that MLMs or Multi Level Marketing company sales pitches are phony and unethical, as they do not seem to relay all the truth up front. These techniques seem to do two things; one it sparks curiosity to learn more; and two it often makes people skeptical. It is the skeptical "what's the catch” issue, which leads people to think fraud, scam or pyramid scheme.

Admit it you yourself have likened multi-level marketing type business opportunities to pyramid schemes, haven't you? Indeed, I see your point about the pyramid scheme and I tend to agree to limited degree really. Personally I think the methods used to sell it, recruit and sign people up are completely outlandish. I do not know why anyone would want to be involved with it using those tactics.

Why not be upfront with it, if it is so great? Why not answer the questions? Why not tell it like it is, it really is? You know there are some MLMs, which do, they actually tell you everything up front? Of course you know from psychology that people tend to become curious and want to know more. Human nature. Yourself for instance, don't you find

it fascinating and somewhat intriguing?

And now that I have brought this subject up out of the blue; you see how you are dwelling on this whole thing? I think the MLM companies use these emotional trigger sales tactics, because they work. These companies after giving hundreds of millions of presentations world wide, well they have had enough practice to know what works and that is what they do? Not sure it is as bad as the church music set at 90 beats per second to put you in a theta state of mind as they pass the tithing dish, but almost. Think on this in 2006.
