Is an MLM pyramid structure the same as a pyramid structure in the workplace?

Beelzebub asked:


You know what I mean? In MLM it is taught that when people say its a pyramid you explain to them that the pyramid is the same thing as any business, with lots of workers on the bottom, managers higher up making more money, and the top people making the most.

When you consider that in MLM the people at the bottom are not making any money (at least not enough to live off of), yet in conventional workplaces the people at the bottom are at least making a wage, does this comparison hold water?

Take the bottom people in a conventional business….. lets say these people are the janitors, the mail clerks etc etc. Now these people still make a livable wage, and they aren’t forced to hire/recruit/dupe other janitors/mail clerks to join the company under them to get paid. Another retarded play on numbers that mlm people use to get people to look past the fact that mlm does not work. Never has, never will.

The problem is MLM is the only business model that DOES NOT form Pyramid. i know it is carzy to say, but that is true. MLM creates a dimond shape structure, where most distributor stay in the middle level. if you do not believe me go to the following websites and look for “Cased Closed” CD, by Len Clements. It was his idea and certainly i found that is true. here we go…

It’s a bad comparision, because the term “pyramid” has multiple meanings.

Unfortunately, one of those meanings is a kind of scam that causes massive economic damage.
