(15,671 posts)Because I was, not joking, an excellent sales person. Sold more magazines for Prom, broke records at telemarketing jobs, etc. I don't begrudge their doing it. They were young, and you look to make money fast, and they didn't understand the concept of an MLM/triangle scheme because they weren't as prevalent when they were younger (they're 15 years older) so they might not have been studied them in school. Later on in life, their daughter (my niece but just 4 years younger than I) and then-husband got into selling MonaVie, and I bought bottles of it from them to be nice. I doubt it did anything, but I liked the taste and did craft activities with the empty bottles. Oh, also in high school, my best friend and I sat through a CutCo pitch, and the guy giving it was surprised (and a little upset) that we didn't sign up for it, but we had had the aforementioned lesson in them in class that my sister and BIL hadn't and discussed it during a break in the spiel. We hung around for giggles.
So I never participated in one, really, and my family members who did never did great with it.
