Muses of Murari

I had this repeated experience. I go to Landmark, Forum Mall, Bangalore. Browse through books. Some one turns up. Quotes some book name and ask me if I’d read it. Negative answer and then starts introductions and continues with questions on work, family etc.,. After some 10 mins of speaking, gets visiting card and leaves. After a day or two, I pick up the call from that fella. He tells me thatas there’s interesting business he’s doing and he wants to share with me. He asks for an appointment.

This happened four times. First fella visited my house and explained his MLM business. He took very long time, beating around the bush and finally said that he is marketing Amway products. Wah! get off! I had bitter experience with a MLM company. After much struggle, I came out of it. And then in short time, I met this fella who started all those motivational stories. I got irritated but I waited patiently to let him complete. At the end I told him my bitter experiences and my lost interest in MLM models. After listening my story, he again started to convince me and I showed him the door.

Same way other three set up conversation in the same Landmark store and later called me up. I showed them my outright rejection to their scheme. I could see only one thing positive from my personal experience and dealing with these Amway fellas. That is, one can pick up networking skills with these MLM models & its strategies! If any one wants to learn art of networking, may be joining MLM business is a good idea!

I am not sure whether anyone else had gone through this. But the fact that rare visitors like me, have gone through this four times at the same place, suggests me that a network of people are running this in more organized manner. I cannot guess how many people had fallen for this trap. Let this post be piece of warning bell. Be aware of these strategies and save your time and money.
