Yeah they got a young nikka right of high school back in 2010 with me. Actually they didnt even get me. A good friend of mine at the time had mad bread (his moms was like the ambassador to some country) and idk what his pops did but he had bread. He said his moms had like some secretary job at her office for him that payed like $17 an hour or some shyt but he aint wanna do it so im like nikka PUT ME ON. So he give me the number to call and I just walked right into that trap. Dude actually denied some ppl for it.

My manager was only a couple years older than me and was chill as hella bout the whole thing. It was nothing but ratchet bytches and hod-nikkas in there so the entire thing was :laff: nothing but comedy. I remember a nikka cutting himself with the spatula spreader :laff:. The funniest part was on one of the last days of the training when we had to pay the money, everybody collectively looking at this nikka like :ughh::comeon::manny::skip::mjpls:. I got the money from my rich friend who initially put me on to it.

Yea I did like 3 presentations in one day sold $170 worth of stuff and was just like fukk it. They gave me a $40 check like a month later. A year after my freshman yr college they gave me another $40 check, I took dat shyt no questions asked...

My experience was the same verbatim. The moment they was talking about paying for a knife set, everybody in our group was like :rudy: too. Only difference was during the two days I went to those orientations, there happened to be a seminar down in Baltimore. The office was in Philly. I dont know why I got on the bus :snoop: I already wrote about it before on here but, if you ever seen the movie Boiler Room, it was like that. Two thousand desperate ass muthafukkas in a hotel conference room. Felt like a cult. Whole time I'm :snoop: I knew I wasted my time 15 minutes in and was stuck 100 miles away from home. I got back, chucked the deuces and found a real gig.



They truly prey on the weak minded. Its disgusting. I remember talking with some dude on the bus and he was talmbout how he dropped out of college to sell knives. I tried not to laugh in his face but, I was done :deadmanny: Them dudes going to Hell for all the dreams they be selling to these people man.

:sadbron: I feel like I'm missing out by never attending one of these meetings.

I just want to go one, sit back and watch all the gullible mofos.

I'm in a conference call right now. I met with a minority owner of the Washington National at his loft couple weeks ago and I told him I'd at least listen. Seems like they're selling a dream though

speaking of the high pressure sales tactics of MLM companies.

it reminds me of the two seperate times I went to time share seminars. the first time was like in 05 to get cheap disney tickets. if u know anything about disney, those tickets are damn near $100 each. for each park. so we were getting a deal where u get 3 tickets for 3 parks (we only had 3 people in my fam at the time) for like 275 bucks, which was pretty reasonable.

the 2nd time we were in the bahamas, and they said if we went to the time share seminar, they'd give us $300 cash. Me and the wife were all about that cash. anyways, the presentation is horrible. you can't just give them the :yayo: upfront and get ur cash. first they wanna get you lunch, and then once ur full and ready to bounce, they hit u with the high pressure sales pitch. the pitch is pretty much the same each time, but you'd be suprised to see how many suckers fall for it. a time share is a waste of money, and ur taking a mortgage on something you can only use 2 weeks a year. mind you, u gotta pay property taxes and assessments (maintenence) on that joint. and if u think ur gonna sell.....shiiiittttt, good luck with that. our sales dude made a point to tell us about his family so we would feel bad when saying :aicmon:. after they exhaust all their rebuttals, they reluctantly gave us our money which we took to the casino. I remember it. that was like the ONLY time I have ever won at the casino. walked in with that $150, and came back with like $500 off craps.

Im in Organo Gold right now. Everyone telling you this and that don't understand that it's a self based business. What you put in is what you get out. I learned alot more out of this than school. Tax returns on "business meetings", "business lunches", "Business Trips" and many more. Everything's a pyramid.

I'm fixing to go to Puerto Rico next month, all on my dime. I know some people down there, so it's going to be a business venture. If you knew anything about small businesses or any businesses at all, then you can get that trip for the airplane tickets written off, and get that as a tax refund at the end of the year.

I ain't gatta preach to somebody who knows nothing about MY business, but theres some game for you.

I pay a one time fee of $60 for a business kit, which gives me access to my own website to sell retail. There's more to the business but i ain't ganna try to preach to people who ain't got any interest in progression. The only other thing I'll say is the product is infused with Ganoderma Lucidum. Google it and see the benefits. It's our way of spreading health and wealth.
