Zojuist kwam ik dit artikel uit de Forbes tegen:

Wat daarin onder andere stond is dit:
Goed dit betreft Herbalife.Distributors earn 5% on the sales of people they recruit to sell Herbalife's many products. (Herbalife reeled in $1.2 billion in revenue in 2003 and paid out $415 million of that in commissions to distributors.) A few of these vendors do well, establishing a network of salesfolk under them and becoming rich off the overrides. A very few. The great masses of distributors are not so much vendors as they are customers. Among the bottom 87% of them the average annual gross revenue is but $522.
Most distributors buy products from Herbalife at a 50% discount, resell them at full price and pocket the markup. Many pay back a good measure of their income to Herbalife, which urges its sales force to shell out for sales kits, marketing supplies and inspirational DVDs. Susan Fox, a Phoenix kennel worker, thought she could make a little income on the side and spent $8,000 on Herbalife products and services. She quit in 2002. She says she couldn't sell the stuff--or convince others to peddle it.
Zouden de andere mlm systemen zoveel anders zijn qua verdiensten voor de meeste mensen die eraan meedoen?
