This.
Like I said the only bad thing is if you're trying to get rich and try recruiting all your friends and family.

A regular salary job is fine, but in sales you have your ups and downs. You may do bad one month and then the next month you bust a big lick! It's almost like the dope game. Really, I think alot of dope boys (with some pointers) could be good salesmen.

all them primerica dudes talk about is recruiting....recruiting to do what exactly? I watched a bunch of their video's on youtube, they talk forever about how to get "clients," and grow your "business" but they never talk about what they are selling or what the business is about.
I did the vector/cutco thing at the end of my senior year of H.S. The only reason why I came out of that with a W was cause I got a friend of mine who ended up leaving the country to front me the 150 for the starter pack of knives. I sold like 400 worth of knives for them and got like $40 for it and then the next yr (mind you I quit a 2 weeks after I started) they sent me another $40 check, idk why. I just deposited that shyt in my bank.I still got the knives on me, I tried to sell them on ebay like a year or so ago but my dumbass wasnt tryna let them go for less than like 400
cause thats how much their worth. I think ima put em back on ebay starting at $100 and see where they go from there.
Cutco/vector is not as bad as those other ones, you really can make money with it. I made $40 in like a day of presentations. Presented to 3 of my friends ppls and sold to 2 of them, with the 3rd wanting to buy from me like acouple weeks later as a wedding gift but I had already quit. The only problem is they literally will have you calling random ppl you aint never really talk to but you just have their number at like 9am on a Saturday morning.
$40 a day?!
Those are Mexican wages. Matter fact, even they would laugh at you.
MLMs are all about recruiting, whatever product they have is secondary. Though, a lot of the new ones have a variety of products and services they sell to seem more legit. But it's all the same; sell this BUT RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT. And last I checked, I don't have to pay $300 bucks to sell extended warranties (more shyt people don't want) at Best Buy.
Exactly what his man said. I had an interview there last week, the guy said "do you want to make $100,000 a year like i do?"....and thats pretty much it, they throw a big number out there than ramble on about nothing for 30 minutes. I got up and left that shyt, 4 or 5 people did too. fukk that place, waste of time to even go there.
shyt atleast i didnt have to pay for parking(only positive from that day)

LMAO...I made a post about My friend trying to get me into this on the other site. Lemme see if I can track it down.

Haha...my boy got into this shlt for a while. They had him on that "rah rah, get rich" bullshlt. Dude called me nonstop for 2 weeks trying to get me to sit down with him and this chick. So finally I'm like ok, and did a bit of research beforehand.
So they set this shlt up. They come to my crib and we sitting there talking, and all of a sudden ole girl busts out some paperwork and told me to start filling it out.the look on both their faces when I was like, "uh, what? Nah, I'm not filling shlt out." She was like "excuse me?" Then I started asking some questions of my own. They really hate that
Haha, I start spitting about shlt I found out about them clowns, and she got salty as fukk, talking about "well, you can't believe everything you hear" and "we have many enemies out there trying to discredit u.". Riiiiight...I told her I'd take the word of real ppl than what the company line is. She couldn't pack her shlt up and leave fast enough.
What's funny is my boy knows I don't fall for shlt like that, so I don't know why he even bothered in the first place. Shlt was pure comedy.
I got another friend that has tried on 3 separate occasions to get me into some bullshlt pyramid scheme, like I woulda changed my mind after the first 2 times.

My boy was in that shyt, he said they let people who sold the most play the Wii and you had to go to the company get togethers even if it was late at night
Was in it for a day 
I was desperate for a job when I went to a presentation about it. The way they market it was wayyyy over the top how everyone was cakin off it. It seemed like the only one who was so-called, making a big lick off of it was the dude who did the presentation bragging about the new house he was getting built in Elk Grove (south of sac) .
Everyone else there looked like they were just trying to stay afloat. When I told my homegirl about it, she scolded the fukk outta me on how dumb of a decision I made to do the $250 buy in at the time.
I went to the office the next day and didn't leave till I got my money back.
Yeah, I've been in sales for years and I love the commission game. But I don't like being part of something that markets itself the total opposite of what it really is.

I can see its a "regular" job but what was pissin me off was that my friend hyped this up like it was a great opportunity so I threw on some expensive ass clothes (my shyt had to of cost more than the main guys stuff, looked like it was from Kohls) then he wasn't being consistent with numbers he was spewing out. I picked my damn friend up and he couldn't even give me 5$ in gas

You just gotta wait for him to "grow his business."

They make it seem easy but it's not. You have to network and build a book of business.
Honestly, the only people that have a lot of success already had a lot of money to begin with. It's not the type of work you can go in with no experience and expect to make coin out the gate.
A lot of commission based jobs will keep sales reps on some type of salary for the first 6 months to a year and then you're on your own, but a lot of companies don't do it. They risk little and get huge rewards.

my cousin and my current roommate tried to get me to do primerica I laughed in my cousins face and told him he wasted gas money coming over to the house. my dad almost got in his recruiters ass for trying to ask my dad questions about who his insurance company was and if he had a life insurance policy.
my roommate I just told him straight up, "look I'm living good off this unemployment man. and I don't like the idea of you and your brother in law getting paid off my work. it just doesn't sit right with me. if I do the work I want your cut and his cut of the money"
nikka stopped asking me about it
