If Your Business Is So Great?

One thing that bothered me during my time in Quixtar, was there use of psychology to get people to do almost anything. They and many other people have this down to a science. This is one reason that salesman are so unpopular anymore. No one wants to talk to a salesman, because they know that they will be able to get them to do or buy something they wouldn'’t normally. This is why retailers like Wal-mart do so well these days. There is no one there pressuring them to buy something.

In MLM, psychology is used at great length to get people to join up. With a few good questions they have you convinced that life is horrible and that you need to change it, and that the only way you can do that is through there business.

During my brief time in Quixtar I was disgusted by all the ways I was taught how to manipulate a person. This came mostly from the book of the months. If you say this you can get them talking. But if they say this you counter with this to draw them away from that concern without really answering there question. The only thing I was doing was tricking them into doing something I knew they did not want to do or thought wasn'’t right. Since there business can’t sell itself by what it offers, they have to resort to cheap psychology tactics and hype.

I think it comes down to if your business is so great why do you have to trick people to get them to do it? If it was truly that good, there shouldn’t be any need to. People have been told over and over again “if it sounds too good to be true, than it probably is.” So the heads of these MLM’s have to constantly come up with ways to convince you otherwise.
