Devoted to the Multi-level marketing (or MLM) industry

Ty, 'truth' is just a part of the deal.

Overpriced product from the companies and lack of commercial awareness in distributors are biggies.

And, with the undue emphasis on 'recruit' rather than 'retail', let's not forget the root of 'autoship' deal... that many and likely most products are bought by distributors - people buy the product to get involved with the opportunity.

Ty,
You talk about the truth, well to tell you the truth when Team Everest was using the term "Auto Ship" for want of a better word, that wasn't quite true since there was no product to ship. They have since renamed it MBA which stands for Monthly Business Access which better describes the monthly service one receives. With this MBA one receives:

1. Access to wholesale prices,
2. Their own on line store,
3. The ability to make the difference between true wholesale and a reasonable and affordable retail
4. All the usual store expences ie shipping, customer service, merchant account etc.

While Team Everest has an "MLM" aspect to it, it is far from being a traditional MLM.
You can choose the part of the business that interests you.

1. To have an online store and sell retail online or directly to family and friends. If this is the path you choose you never have to recruit another person

2. You can choose to take advantage of the John Galt Society and pursue self improvement.

3. You can take advantage of the networking aspect and build residual income.

Team Everest has something to offer everyone, for those willing to spend the time to really understanding it.

Wendy,

Have you ever heard of the Bon Jovi song, 'Wanted Dead or Alive"? It's an old favorite of mine from the 80's and it has a line in it that does like this...

"It's all the same. Only the names will change."

You just used the same pitch I used to use when selling Amway/Quixtar.

"There is an MLM aspect to it."

Truth is, if a company has an MLM aspect, it IS an MLM.

Then you close with even more myth and hype. Team Everest (MLM) does not have something to offer everyone. Bill Gates doesn't need Team Everest. Some people are not qualified and/or have no interest in owning their own business.
