Partnerwithpaul.com Many names used - Herbalife Hidden Truth, Internet

Warning! Career Builder.com is a site I viewed as being trusted and unfortunately, companies can post erroneous marketing opportunities there.  This is no reflection on careerbuilder.com, but be cautious of opportunities posted.

I was searching careerbuilder.com for jobs that might fit my ability and was intrigued by the follwoing post:

I followed the link and soon completed the video presentation which talked about online business.  I should have asked myself why would someone making 2+ Million dollars a year take this direction to attract job seekers?  After further research, it is another ploy used by MLM reps.

So I took the bait and purchased the $9.95 video.  To my disappointment, it was a trick.  They did not violate any laws to my knowledge, but they hide the truth.  The truth is that a herbalife rep. will contact you right away.  I am not interested in promoting herbalife products or others like it.  I spoke to the business coach from Oklahoma and questioned him which I immediately told him I had no interest.

MLM's have lost their way and it is those who use the network of distributors to sell their motivational tapes and books from upline directors who made huge profits.  In fact they get irratated and believe without them one could not be successful.  This is not true, the library has motivational materials and if they were concerned about your becoming successful, why not pitch titles of books and materials that can be gotten from the Library?  One good answer; they don't benefit from that!  Thus, it is the tricks that top line distributors of MLM's have used to become succesful and given an MLM a bad rap. 

MLM is a great business model, unfortuantely others have manipulated the concept and found a way to beneift which has nothing to do with the product itself.  So, the point being, if someone is going to show you the way to millions and not charge you anything, then why not ship it at their cost, let you look at it and then return it without any obligation.  Then if you decide the opportunity is right, they can then include those costs in the intial sign-up.  So, just because it appears on a job site, doesn't mean it is a legitimate business opportunity.

A true pyramid scheme is what we all have been a part of but is accepted: Corporate America.  Unfortunately, MLM does not have a good representation because of the business practices of greedy upline directors pitching things that have nothing to do with the product itself and using methods like this to trick individuals who are looking for opportunities.  Simply be honest, post Herbalife or what ever the business and let people decide.  MLM is something I believe in, but it is the upline directors who have destroyed the concept. 

I returned the call to my coach who is from Oklahoma and once he confirmed it was herbalife, I told him that I cancelled my CC to prevent any further charges.  I will not return the DVD unless I get my $9.95 back and email me a Return Shipping label.  He did try to pitch me on the weight he lost.  I don't question or doubt the product, I would not have pursued this had I known. 

Shame on MLM's for using one more tactic to destroy a concept that provides the best opportunity for the average person to build a business, but based on the merits of the product, not deception!
