Okay, so evidently either Jenny has seen her sales dry up, or she's been rightly criticised for her relentless, hypocritical sales pitches, or maybe just saw the above pastejob and liked the sound of it. Regardless, it looks like some MLM distributors have gone on the defensive and tried a new tactic to drum up sales: the emotional pity party pitch. Woah is me, I'm being bullied for spamming adverts to my friends and family, trying to get them to buy or join whatever product I'm selling.
I'm going to run through the post and respond to each point. Lets go.
"ARE YOU SICK OF SEEING WRAP POSTS, JUICE PLUS POSTS, YOUNIQUE POSTS, OR OTHER MLM POSTS? ARE YOU AN EYE ROLLER??"
Yes, absolutely.
"Do you think lower of those in network marketing?? If so ask yourself WHY??"
Because I am smart enough to know a scam when I see one.
"How would you feel if your friends and family constantly attacked you or put you down about your chosen job?"
I would question why people who I know care about me are doing this. If it were one person I'd be dubious; if it were a huge number of my friends and family, I'd kind of think that they would have legitimate reason to criticise my job and not be "attacking" me.
"Refused to support or refer you on to friends in the job that pays your bills and puts a roof over your head? The job that feeds your children?"
Probably because they care about their friends and don't want them to buy your junk products. Furthermore if you rely on a MLM scam for your income then you seriously need to think of an alternative career.
"Maybe you would feel better if the people in network marketing 'Got a real job' that meant leaving their kids at home and doing a job working to make someone else rich?"
Considering there are millions of working families out there who have to arrange childcare for their kids you cannot in any shape or form use this as an excuse for MLM distribution. This is tantamount to emotional blackmail. Furthermore, pretty ironic to whine about working to make other people rich when you are only involved in this scam because you think it is going to make you rich.
"Maybe you would prefer they sat at home and did nothing? Claiming benefit from the 'real job' tax payers (we pay tax too by the way)"
That's essentially what you are doing already unless, like Jenny, you have another job. It really doesn't take much out of the day to copy and paste cheesy crap like this garbage on your social media page. It's not a hard day's work.
"Maybe you think we shouldn't post so much, maybe it annoys you to see people succeeding and wanting more? That we shouldn't do our best to make our dreams come true? I don't think you really think that!! In fact I know you don't when you're honest with yourself! "
Maybe you don't have a clue about how effective marketing works. You can post and post and post this crap until you're blue in the face, but hardly anyone is going to buy products that are overpriced and over-rated. Maybe you're not being honest with yourself.
"If you're in network marketing you're here because YOU SEE A DIFFERENT WAY! A better FUTURE! A way to build your dreams!
HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT'S ADMIRABLE?"
It's not admirable, it's sad. You have been duped into engaging in a pyramid scheme where people at the top will make more money off of you and other distributors than they will off product sales. You guys pay the joining fee. You guys pay for bulk products. You guys pay for tickets and merchandise at JP conventions. They make money off it, you don't.
You joined because you think you can make money from doing the bare minimum. Sorry, but it's just not true.
"If you do, then this month instead of scrolling past the posts about candles, wraps, mascara, jewelry or anything else, while rolling your eyes, ask yourself if your willing to help make someone else's dreams come true!
Help someone achieve simply by just liking/sharing or commenting on the post!"
"Help me get rich by buying my over-priced junk! Please! I'm begging you!" Ehm, no thanks.
"A few years ago the campaign to support small businesses was huge!! How about a campaign to support dream chasers, help some parents give children an ace Christmas or make a lifelong dream a reality? I know most of my friends and I know most of you are GOOD PEOPLE!"
There's a big difference between supporting small businesses and MLM distributors. The difference is people behind small businesses actually run their companies. They start it up, or are continuing a business that may have been started further back in time by family members. Their business sells a unique product, or provides a unique service, that may have a reputation for being of good quality. Or they may be a start-up company that has found a niche in the market and need a bit of support to take off and get the ground running.
In other words, they have worked their socks off to get the business off the ground.
You guys, on the other hand, do next-to-nothing in MLM companies. Everything is already done for you - your job is simply to bulk-order products and sell them off online. Your products are over-priced and unnecessary. Furthermore, you try and recruit more people into the scam which begs the question as to how we can support MLM companies when you can theoretically replace customers with distributors - it makes absolutely no sense.
That is why MLMs cannot be supported. They are scams. Small businesses are not. There is no way you can look a small business owner in the eye and say "I know how you feel", because you don't. You know nothing, whatsoever, about business and the risks involved in this sector.
Edit: also, another big difference between small businesses and MLM distributors is that small businesses actually employ people. People are contracted to a set number of hours at a set wage with a set time of payment. Thus, it is absolutely vital that small businesses are kept running not just for the sake of the owners but for the sake of their staff. If these businesses go, so do their staff's livelihoods.
Do MLM distributors get paid like this? No. If JP and other scams go belly-up, you stand to lose nothing but the money you chose to throw at this scheme thinking it was going to lead to long-term riches. It's exactly like demanding that people fork out cash to help a gambler who blew his savings on two cards in blackjack. It's your own fault. Furthermore, I rarely see any distributors fully live on this MLM for their income. Jenny, like many of you, has a proper job and uses this as a supplement for extra cash. How, therefore, is this the same as campaigning for small businesses? It isn't.
"So while you're searching for the perfect Christmas gift this month consider some of these posts! Many offer life changing or lifestyle improving products that could make a huge difference to you or their recipient! Others offer stuff you would probably buy from an online retailer at a higher price"
The problem is your products are not "life changing". With JP I can buy products for way, way cheaper and get much more value for money from my local supermarket. Why would I want my friends and family to buy your overpriced rubbish?
"be savvy this Christmas help those helping themselves and support those wanting to make a difference! It goes a very long way!! "
If you want to make a difference to people then provide them a service that can actually help them. Sitting on your fat ass all day spamming crap on social media isn't helping anyone.
... geez that took longer than I thought. Basically, Jenny is pissed that her sales have dried up and is basically begging people to buy her crap.
I have one question, Jenny.
When's the penny going to drop?
