- my classmates and i have been posted back to the ATTC Hangar for the last phase of our studies, (oh YES! Back to Heaven at last!)
- i have a sexy new bike,
- passed my last major exam!
- have regular outings with friends that truly care
But life always have hiccups, and sometimes u get those things which kinda annoys you a little, like when...
- you MLM friend invites you for dinner not for a get-together but ends up repeatedly trying to get you into his company or sell his products to you,
- your MLM friend gets his colleague into the picture for a double attack and think that its not obvious,
- your MLM friend keeps repeating his sales pitch even after you reiterate that you have no $$,
- your MLM friend asks you to take a loan for a slimming programme from your parents,
- your MLM friend asks you to pay by installments if you die die don't want to borrow from your parents.
It should be pretty obvious now that the experience with my MLM friend has annoyed me alittle, having met him for dinner for a "friendly get-together" (not the first time this has happened...). In the first half hour, my suspicions were gone as he did not mention anything related to his work. But i was wrong. A colleague turned up barely half an hour later, joined up for dinner, had some small talk and started to talk about my weight (WTF!). Thats when i began to get that awkward feeling again - Sales Pitch (dame..! I knew it...). Subsequently, he told my friend to bring me up to the company premises to have a look and offered to pay for the food...
Up at the company premises the sales pitch started proper. I wasn't listening at all, and all the time i was feeling very disappointed with my friend... All that pretense juz to get me to come down for a sales pitch. And i was too naive to think that he wouldn't do that again after i told him the last time i wasn't interested. Haiz...
Dunno if he will see this post or not, and i'm technically not talking about this behind him or something since this is a public blog and i list my blog addy on my msn nick with updates on new entries. But i will definitely be avoiding his future calls or invites to have "dinner" with him.
I have also been into MLM before and i do know all the tricks in the bag. The reason i did not continue to do MLM is because i felt that MLM made me to be a "fake" person, inviting people out for meet ups for the purpose for promoting my products to them, getting my partner to appear and be a live example for my products. I hate to see my friends squirming in their seats with awkwardness. Therefore, after a few sessions, i wanted out. All that shit about not selling products but selling health. How fake. If i can i would GIVE health to all and not take a single cent! I later swore to myself tat i would never touch MLM again, no matter how good the $ and the product. If the product is good i would just recommend it but not promote it.
Sorry for the long rant, but its coming to an end soon, just wanna say that MLM is not for me, i value my friends and i'm not an actor. I'm at the start of a new career and i can't afford and will not go for all these treatments, at least until i'm earning at least enough to support my family, myself and have enuff money to spend on the finer things in life. These things are definitely not my priority for now. I really hope my MLM friend can see this, and hope he understands. Otherwise...
I guess that is all i have to rant about now, i give an update to wads happening in a couple of days.
Have a good weekend people.
