She joined 10 MLMs but never launched one
I asked why. Her answer reminded me of my own objections, "I don't want to be that person who call all my friends out for 'coffee' lah."
I was on Zoom with a prospect that day.
A veteran of over 10 MLM companies. Believed in every product. But never launched a single business.
Looking across the screen, I asked why. Her answer reminded me of my own objections, "I don't want to be that person who call all my friends out for 'coffee' lah."
I knew exactly what she meant.
"That's the problem with MLM. All these people using sleazy tactics that ruin the industry's name!"
"MLM is actually legit," I told her.
"Cheap to start. No overheads. Walk away anytime. The problem?"
"People join and become fake."
Pressure tactics.
Luring friends to seminars.
Fake coffee sessions.
"These practices ruined a noble industry."
Her response?
A resounding YES that carried 10 companies worth of frustration.
10 companies worth of almost-but-not-quite.
10 companies worth of believing in products but hating the methods.
She wasn't alone. There's an entire generation of ethical networkers sitting on the sidelines. Not because they don't believe in the opportunity. But because they refuse to become someone they're not.
They watch their uplines teach:
"Your warm market is your goldmine"
"Every friend is a potential customer"
"If they say no, follow up 7 times"
They listen.
Their mouth say "YES!".
But when want to pick up the phone and call, they sangkut.
Because deep down they know:
Relationships aren't transactions.
Friends aren't targets.
No means no.
The network marketing industry doesn't have a business model problem. It has a methods problem. Your upline teaching 1990s tactics in 2024.
Still pushing scripts that sound like robots.
Still treating humans like numbers.
Still wondering why retention rates are terrible.
Meanwhile, ethical networkers like her keep joining.
Keep believing.
But NOT launching.
Because they're looking for new ways to build with dignity.
To attract instead of chase.
To be magnetic instead of desperate.
The future belongs to those who embrace the attraction model.
No more "Hey bro" messages.
No more fake catch-ups.
No more ambush tactics.
Instead? Build a digital showroom so compelling, strangers ask to enter.
Share your journey so authentically, people want to join you.
Create value so consistently, trust becomes automatic.
Be the BMW of network marketing. Not the annoying salesperson at the mall.
That woman with 10 unstarted businesses?
She's launching now.
Using attraction methods.
Building with integrity.
Finally becoming who she was meant to be.
Not in spite of network marketing. But because she found a better way to do it.
Comment "DIGNITY" to discover my blueprint.
I'll show you exactly how I build my network marketing business with pride.
Without driving away friends and family.
Without becoming someone you're not.
Just real methods for real people who refuse to compromise their values.
Always cheering you on,
Kon
