Holy shit this karl guy is so obviously part of a MLM company and desperately doesnt want to admit that he was scammed. Lol!

its just his gimmick

basically any topic where the prevailing opinion is siding in one direction, he advocates the opposite.

hes a contrarian troll; its weird.


I only enter discussions on things that I know to be right (or strongly believe to be). Being contrarian for contrarians sake is not what I do.


Only fools are certain.

I'm pretty certain the sky is blue, that the earth is round, flossing is healthy, etc. Give me evidence that convinces me otherwise, and I will change my mind, but until then, I'm going to be pretty fucking certain of certain things.

"You have to buy a membership so you're in the red"

Do they still pay you when you sell their products?

"Yes"


No. They literally don't.

karlpilkington4 posted...
And the majority of MLM companies give you a special link to send your customers when they buy online. You don't need to buy the product to sell it. That's blatantly false as a MLM standard.


Okay but that's not what vector marketing does. They make you buy both the product and these imaginary pep talks.

I mean they don't.

They tell you where you start and they tell you what the top of the pyramid looks like. They tell you all the gilded parts and none of the shit that you have to scrub to get there.

It's like "Hey, you want a job helping out with preschool kids? Pays 200k a year!" "ok seems sweet money" first day on the job the kids are surrounded by tigers and you find out later that this is a daily thing.

I mean, that's literally how a commission-based salary works. You work directly for a company, you sell a product or service that the company has already fronted. Depending on your state, you will still be entitled to some wage regardless if you sell or not, though obviously if you're not doing a good job the company has the right to let you go. And you're not required to pay the company money first to get the job.

Call it what you want, but the concept remains. Sell as many products as you can to your warm market (friends, family, coworkers). But after those run out, then what?

Literally the next line; the author calls it an MLM consistently throughout that page and literally writes "Call it what you want" right after the excerpt you posted.

So, it's not a MLM because there's not a downline aka no multilevel, but its still a MLM because some dude says so?

Nice logic there bud. I linked to a random article because I didnt feel like finding the actual website link again

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because it's a multi-level marketing company.

The TRUTH: Vector Marketing is not a multi-level marketing company. Vector Marketing is a single-level, direct-to-consumer marketing company and is recognized as an official member of the Direct Selling Association. In a multi-level marketing company, sales representatives make their money by recruiting additional sales representatives. This is not the case for Vector Marketing, as our sales representatives earn their money by selling Cutco's World's Finest Cutlery directly to consumers.

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because you have to pay for your own starter demonstration kit.

The TRUTH: One common misunderstanding is that you have to buy your own starter kit to hold demonstrations for your clients. This is not true, as you are NOT required to purchase the starter kit. In fact, each Vector sales rep will be loaned a CUTCO demonstration set to show customers the quality of CUTCO products.

You can make money in MLM. It's not a scam.


With an insane amount of luck and time invested.

And to crack the barrier as a top level earner you need to be an early adopter.

I see people saying they make 800 a month and that its great money.

Sure, it's nice pocket change if you use it as a secondary income and post a few things every day on social media.

But making it a full time job? You better be lucky and know a lot of idiots.

Edit: cutco knives are the BEST knives you can get. Absolutely professional grade, sharp as absolute balls and FREE lifetime warranty with no gimmicks.

I highly recommend if you cook daily and enjoy it. Even with the high price tag.

I remember i was looking for a job back in my college days about a decade ago. My friend had a "health job interview" for me and i went. I didnt know what was MLM at the time but the beginning part of the meeting had them showing nice cars and big mansions and that we can achieve these goals if we worked hard for it. Then came the time to sign up ajd buy their Usana startup kits. I felt loke i was bring forced to buy it but luckily i didnt have a bank account at the time. I wonder how they're doing now.

This isnt said anywhere, so feel free to post evidence. It doesnt even make sense

Vector- "Here's the demo kit. Go sell some knives"

*Goes to sell it to a homeowner*

Homeowner- "I'll buy it"

Me- "Hold on, first I have to order it myself with my own money, then I'll get it and sell it to you, and you give me money"

Then surely someone on the internet would have the same experience. There are tons of websites incorrectly saying its a "scam", yet none of them say you have to buy knives. Atleast I can't find any. Pretty hard to believe you, since the scenario doesnt make sense to begin with. They give you a free training kit, yet you have to buy the knives? Literally makes zero sense.

1 - You posted a source saying "they don't call themselves an MLM", yet that article itself calls it an MLM constantly. Why would you post an article that you didn't even read yourself? Jfc

2 - Of course they're not going to say "We're an MLM" on their website when you've clearly seen how negatively that term is interpreted.

I am trying really hard to keep my ignore list at 0 but this is pushing the limits...

So, it's not a MLM because there's not a downline aka no multilevel, but its still a MLM because some dude says so?

Nice logic there bud. I linked to a random article because I didnt feel like finding the actual website link again

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because it's a multi-level marketing company.

The TRUTH: Vector Marketing is not a multi-level marketing company. Vector Marketing is a single-level, direct-to-consumer marketing company and is recognized as an official member of the Direct Selling Association. In a multi-level marketing company, sales representatives make their money by recruiting additional sales representatives. This is not the case for Vector Marketing, as our sales representatives earn their money by selling Cutco's World's Finest Cutlery directly to consumers.

Apparently you are incapable of addressing the other two points that I made about why your argument is atrocious and hurts the brain.

Except in some MLM companies.

Which makes it a scam.
If a company requires you to front money, then you're not supposed to be an employee. At best it's royalty-based.
If they call it commission-based, then they're scamming you.

Therefore, you shouldn't be calling it a job. Secondly, commissions-based means that the company fronts the product, not you.
