MLMs are a dangerous and harmful business model. I want to add, if you have a friend or relative who sells MLM and who is begging you to buy their stuff to help make a target, Don't do it!! The best thing you can do for your friend is NOT to buy their stuff, because each purchase will only keep them in the cult for longer.

I think the "difference" is that <br /><br />1) Avon has been around over a century (Originally as the california perfume company) and hasn't ALWAYS been a MLM. They did door-to-door sales stuff back in the era when, well, that was a legit business practice.<br /><br />2) I don't know what they sell these days, but when I was a kid, a lot Jenetikittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741912678367285939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-68061987709174391142020-09-30T03:40:04.344+00:002020-09-30T03:40:04.344+00:00Bravo.
