The secret to recruiting is not in convincing people, but in sorting people. You can wear yourself out and become discouraged, working with the same “empty oysters.” Your job as a professional recruiter is only to sort through the prospects until you find one who wants to be a distributor. It is ten times easier to locate a prospect who wants to work, than to convince an unwilling disinterested prospect to work.

This business model is phony on its face because by doing a little simple math, you can see it takes fewer than thirteen cycles of this process for one MLM to run out of humans on Earth to recruit.

Sociology generally defines community as a social unit that shares something in common, such as customs, characteristics, values, beliefs, or norms; no financial strings are attached. Because there is a financial hierarchy in an MLM, with women making money off one another’s sales, this recruiting tool can never create true community.

“
Even with a legitimate MLM and product, the ultimate enemy is math. The structure of an MLM is inherently self-defeating. If, for example, the company starts with just six people, and each level has to recruit six people of their own, in just twelve levels you have over two billion people. Even without complete recruitment, you quickly saturate a population. Further, every person you recruit is now a competitor. They may share your social network, and you’ll both be recruiting from the same pool.
