I noticed that it had been a year since somebody replied on your blog. Just recently Anne invited me to go to 15 flr Robinsons bank san miguel ave branch ortigas pasig city. At first I was skeptical kasi ndi sinabi nung girl ung name ng company. When I was there I asked the security guard what was it all about tapos sbi nya direct selling daw. Gusto ko n sana umalis kaso the girl who called me was there already. I asked her what position is she offering sbi nya trainee daw. Sabi ko “to do what?” ndi nya sinagot and then she changed the topic. Then the presention started and the speakers were very good. Ung una cum laude daw from UP tapos ung sumunod graduate daw ng ateneo (Daniel). After less than an hour of listening to them, they mentioned something about life pak, living a luxurious life, how we can make a lot of money by recruiting others and eventually became a blue diamond. When the presenation ended the questions in my mind were still unanswered so I directly said to Anne that im not interested cause im having a gut feeling that it was mlm. When I got home I googled pharmanex and it confirmed my instinct. The next day I texted anne and asked if she is happy with her job. She said that she is proud and happy with her company. Maybe because it worked for her. Well good for her. I just dont think it will work for me as well cause i dont believe in their marketing strategy and recruitment process.

Tulad ng sinabi ng comment #28, do not rely on OPINIONS of others… lalo na kung distributor/associate/cult member na ng NU SKIN. They have something to protect, you know, like their “investment”.

may ibang “CULT MEMBERS”, who would say, “Harvard teaches Network Marketing Sales.” Sus… desperate talaga na ma-respeto. Pati pangalan ng Harvard gagamitin.

Sinulat in Mr. Fogg:

Network Marketing Sales is not taught at Harvard and Stanford business schools — or in “numerous other leading colleges and universities throughout the country”. Truth is, most of them detest us. They don’t understand us and do not care to. As Harvard ‘B’ School professor Thomas Bonora recently said in an article in Marketing News:

We do not teach such methods [MLM] at the Harvard Business School; they are not part of the curriculum; to my knowledge, they are not taught at this or any other reputable business school in the country . . . Multi-Level Marketing schemes, like chain letters and other devices, sometimes are at the borderline of what is legal — and over the borderline of what is ethical . . .

He concluded by saying that examples of legit MLMs are few and far between. Not a glowing endorsement for such a valuable curriculum.

Harvard has reviewed a case study of Mary Kay Cosmetics. Also, there are courses in “Networking” as it pertains to management resources. That’s it. Stanford refuses to discuss the subject.

you know what, i was also called by those people you mention and i even went to the office , i saw the whole thing and it was so informative, i really didn’t find it something to be BEWAREd of or sinasabi nilang scam. In my opinion after researching intelectually and looking at the facts of the company, i truly am interested. I think their company is much stable than those company i know na nandito sa pinas for awhile na, im an accountant you see, so i mean im also very critical on those things (credibility, stability of the company and good products). Ako, opinion ko lng naman ito, I have been reading alot of negative things about their company pero lahat ng nagcomment ng bad thing sa kanila hindi naman pala nakapunta and kung nakapunta man, they don’t understand the whole concept of their business they been too( hay nako pinoy tlga tayo nasa Crab mentality parin). Im not part of them ha pero im thinkg about it kasi i saw the whole thing and naintindihan ko kaya im commenting on this. The people i saw there are mostly professional people and mind you hindi ordinary lng, cguro meron din mga student pero cguro nga yun yung mga sinabi nila dito sa blog na nag misrepresent yun hindi ko alam ha,tsaka share ko lng din, the person who invited me over was a licensed Cum Laude engineer na nameet ko lng sa Mall, and he was really very nice and credible person kasi his parents are even into business. NAisip ko na rin yun na baka scam ito pero i don’t think that guy would risk his name para lng kumita ng konte dba, come to think of it he must have seen something truly big to be doing it. Anyway, dun sa naginvite sa akin, thank you kasi it has open my mind to big opportunity in the future. And to those people reading this blog be open don’t just rush into a decision dahil sa opinion ng iba. BE SMART and dn’t rely your decision with the good and bad opinion of other people around you, kaya nga tayo binigyan ng DIYOS ng free will para gamitin ang SARILING brain dba, wag magrely sa brain ng iba hehheh (opinion lng nila yan), malay natin mas may laman ang brain mo ehhehe joke lng. Anyway, GOD BLESS….

Guys please visit this site http://www.falseprofits.com/MLM%20Lies.html, I am sure this will enlightens you about the so called ” MLM’s”. but still have an open mind. Any ways, I was also invited to this thing just last week. My friend/office mate invited me, same thing she did not tell me anything about it which made me doubtful, she said business-business, part time, money but since she’s my friend and I know her a lot I eventually committed to her. The location was in Makati not in Octagon Bldg. As I arrived there, I finally met her up line who is her sister who also came from my company. At first she just asked questions about my financial needs and everything and pre-qualified me to find out if I am qualified. Later on, The seminar starts, there was two speakers who seem to be professionals and came from a highly paid company. They tackled about the products, the company and the three ways to earn money, which is selling, recruiting business partners and so on. Everything was great except that I need to pull out P12,600 from my pocket, but guys, mind you I got so interested and saw some opportunities if you will just strive and think of ways to sell the products, well recruiting is one also but I think if would be nice and more professional if they will say something about the company, so people will not have a negative thought about it. But any ways, the offer is really the company, I have made research, a lot of research and really convinced knowing that my friend was referred by her sister and finally joined because she has a proof already that there is really a money in this business not just by recruiting but also by selling, and the company itself has a credibility, look at the brighter side guys, don’t just base your decision from others opinion, make a research guys, there’s nothing such as easy money, everything starts in a small things. Right now I’m still thinking If I’ll join, my only problem was the money to start but that ’s being resolved because my friend’s sister is willing to shoulder half of the amount to start. Now I’m just planning things, and thinking. So far I am not being forced or harassed so that another good thing. If ever I sign up, I’ll let you know guys and personally tell everyone what happened. That’s all for now. God Bless!!!!

well now that i’ve heard more about them, i wouldn’t say the business is a scam. it’s just that the methods they employ to recruit people just leave so much room for doubt. they’re not honest and straightforward to begin with, which most of the time misleads you to believe it’s another job opportunity than just a networking thing.

i guess that’s what most people have against them, kaya ang daming negative reactions about it.

someone called me in the name of Harmond Santos yesterday, he told me na cause i’m from quezon city science highschool, i would fit daw on the job he is offering me since they know na matatalino daw tga qsci nga and ayun i’m asking for the name of the company over and over but then he keeps on telling me an acronym so i asked him what that acronym means but instead of saying what does NSP Phil. means he just then told me it’s an international company… that added sa kaba ko and then good thing i was infront of the pc i’ve googled everything he told me and BOOM after googling 15th floor octagon building this came out hehehe. nakaisip agad ako na mag CTZen pAtrol b un or XXX hehe cause it’s some sort of a panloloko ryt?

For all of you, it’s natural to have that reaction for the limited information that you have about the company. Smart people like you, owe it to yourself to explore exhaustively about the company before making any judgements. Don’t you think a Scam company could last 24 years in the business, be in the New York Stock Exchnage for a long time and be even an official sponsor of THE OLYMPICS? not to mention the business awards it received recently. I invite you to come to the office and study it yourself. No one will force you to do something you don’t want. The problem with most Filipinos is they usually say Maybe, I’ll try…when actually they meant No, I’m not interested. Have an open mind guys…
after attending it, I guess then, you’ll have the rright to react…otherwise refrain.

Hey, what happened to the case you filed?

By: Maki

Maki — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 03:22:27 +0000

Yeah, may batchmate akong hindi daw masama pero siya pala yung nag-haharass sa aking dahil sa NUSKIN, Pharmanex, SynergyOne na yan. I filed a case against him in ADMU already. I'll update about the case in due time. Almost 1 year na niya ako hinaharass. Sobrang bastos na talaga ang mga breed na katuload niya. I can't believe that companies like that MLM can turn Ateneans into greedy people who bully someone online. Shame on them! Shame on that Ryan Chung 4 Bs Biology student. Sobrang walang respeto at mahilig mag-threaten. Maki's last blog post..Reliable Custom Writing Services

kasi we didn’t have funds din talaga kaya we didn’t commit. naku 10k ba naman. if we had that cash back then, i’d doubt i’d be interested din. kasi so many people are selling it, as bm majors we knew about supply and demand. lol.

i’m not very easy to persuade, but yeah, i’ve had experience with this as well. if you’re too nice to say NO, puwersahin ka talaga nila.
