Does Multi-Level Marketing rejection lead to anti-social behavior? Recently a young man was observed in a bookstore coffee shop in suit and tie sitting by himself; he was a lonely MLM recruiter. Was all that rejection affecting his behavior; did he lose all his friends, as he tried to sign them up as his down line? It was speculated that something was perhaps wrong with him? Could be, you never know; anti-social behavior, etc. or maybe he was memorizing his sales speech or worrying about why all this is not working out like it is suppose to for him? Who knows? Maybe he is realizing he is being manipulated and that it has caused him to lose all his friends or something. Maybe he is a loner at heart? Hey, no this is a good project for a grad student psyche major; can you say thesis! "The Anti-Social Behavior of an MLM Salesman." If you decide to do such a project, well I would certainly want to read what you come up with on this! Did you ever read that book, "Death of a Salesman?" This could be a comprehensive project; a study on the use of; motivational tapes, meetings, support groups and the challenges of beating the attrition rates of down lines. You know as I understand it while studying group psychology, how groups form, how they fail and the types of personalities in them; the strengths and weaknesses of teams. I have always been fascinated with it all. When applied to human groups and networking it would be quite fascinating to include MLM companies and their star players. This MLM salesman all by himself in the corner was said to be quite out of character for him. Maybe someone should talk to him about all this, maybe we can better understand this so we can someday remedy the problem for other anti-social MLM sales people? Maybe this fellow needs some help, maybe he needs a friend, which is not part of the business he is doing? Maybe we can set this poor lonely MLM salesman with a date? A girl friend or something? "So what do you do on your first date?" "We went to the bookstore for one hour, then to a movie, then to get a cup of coffee at a different bookstore for one hour and He signed them both up and said I was good luck. So, while I was at the bookstore, I walked around during his presentation and I bought this book; 'How to Dump A Guy in 15 Minutes of less' but I have to finish it by tonight, gotta go, call ya!" Wow, I can certainly see the problems with these MLM people, cant you? What a bummer indeed. There must be some way we can stop this problem in the world with the severe rejection, which takes its toll on our MLM friends. Consider this in 2006. |
