		<description>Interesting article.

Although I will disagree with you about what it takes to win in MLM.  I have made tens of thousands of dollars in MLM without &#039;mining&#039; my friends and family.  Out of thousands in my organization, I have only brought in 2 friends and/or family members...that&#039;s right, 2.

Also, I do not cold call.  People always call me.  I strictly market on the Internet in a funded proposal fashion showing people how to do it and attract those already looking.  I&#039;m not interesting in talking to people who have no idea what MLM is.  Not saying there&#039;s anything wrong with that, but I only want to talk to people who are open-minded enough to understand the industry.

I&#039;m not invalidating your points, just giving the readers a different perspective since I&#039;ve made tens of thousands without doing any of that nonsense MLM companies teach.</description>

		<description>Just found your blog. Very cool!

Pampered Chef is a member of the Direct Selling Association (www.dsa.org). The DSA is the ethical governing body of MLM&#039;s. So, you can safely say that Pampered Chef is an MLM. It uses a &quot;party plan&quot; business model.

Many of us in mlm also do not like the fact that we are constantly taught to &quot;hound&quot; our friends and relatives to learn abour our newest and greatest &quot;opportunity.&quot; Some of us are going off on a slight tangent and using Web 2.0 to market on line to find people who are interested in our businesses. It&#039;s a solid marketing strategy and it doesn&#039;t scare your friends away! Pretty cool stuff in my opinion.

		<description>I&#039;m glad to see someone taking a more pragmatic approach to MLM and not out right dismissal because of pre-conceived business model reputation.  As with any business venture, due diligence is a must, and it must start with you using and believing in the company’s product(s).

By the way, I checked the Berkshire Hathaway website and the only subsidiary company that seems to me is MLM is Pampered Chef.  And I’m not sure it qualifies as MLM.</description>
