Actually, it is second most powerful brainwash.I know one of best brainwash, but it will make a lot of problem so I will talk about it some other time.
I do not know how many people will believe what I am saying. But, I have been debate about network marketing(Here I am talking about the multi-level marketing but I don't know what is proper name for this so I just wrote the network marketing.) for 2 times with my friend. Problem with talking with my friend was I cannot tell the truth. For example, everybody can make money that easily how come nobody tell me how much money they made. Of course, there has success story but it is top people only.
And it was clever way to buy product with point which can make money so I asked price of cheapest product.She said that 17ringgit for Shampoo or something which I can buy it 10ringgit from Carrefour or Jusco.(I also ask 2 or 3 more cheapest product but price was expensive than Carrefour or Jusco.)So truth is they don't give back point for buying product. Actually, you paid extra money and that goes to the point. And not only that. Some of extra money goes to company and your network marketer, too.
And she explained to me about how it works and she drew me the network diagram. So I asked why someone want to buy from you because she has her manager or something. I mean if I want to do this network marketing, why I should buy from bottom line's network marketer. Because I will buy product from top line's network marketer. And then she was confused and she was not sure about that..
You see, that was most important thing in network marketing how she was not sure about that.
I explained about this by very logical way. But, she never listens. And she was not happy because she said that I gave too much negative..That's what I call the brainwash. I cannot explain by logic and I cannot questioning about their problem.
You see, they advertising all kind of nice word like "You can work at home." or "You can work at home and earn 5,000ringgit a month" but they don't tell the truth about themselves.
Most strong point she thought she made was that "I am nothing too loose.". I couldn't reply it but actaully I would like to reply it. You wasted a lot and a lot of time to learn bad business behaviour and wasting money and wasting your energy. I don't know much about sales person's skill but I believe what Larry King(audiobook - "How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere" ) explain about the sales skill. He said that "Know what you selling". So sales person must understand(learn or know) their product perfectly. She can't learn their product well so that's the reason I said "bad business behaviour".
Some of multi-level marketers complain about what I wrote. So I found more proper answer about this. I haven't read it yet but it looks good answer for multi-level marketing.
