A lot of you have taken my MLM survey, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

The results are amazing and make me giddy.  (Maybe it takes a true data-junky to be excited about survey results?  Guilty as charged.)  To be honest, I can’t say the results are shocking. In fact, they’re pretty much what I was thinking, but you never know unless you ask.

So, I asked.

I can’t wait to share my findings with you, and your help has been instrumental in moving my book project to the next step.

I’m not ready to close the survey yet, so if you haven’t done so, please go take the survey. It’s a short survey, and quite painless.

If you have taken it, thank you! I will have to remember to include a formal thank you to you on the dedication page of my book. It will have to be a sweeping generalization of thanks, though, because it’s an anonymous survey.

Plus the font needed to include all your names on one page would be way too tiny.

What is an MLM?

Wiki has a great definition of what an MLM is.

It also has a list of different types of MLM companies.

Basically, MLM stands for Multi-Level Marketing and refers to a company that manufactures and sells products to an Independent Sales Force. That Independent Sales Force then sells the products directly to their client base. Those sales force members are also able to recruit other people onto their teams, and then those people sell directly to their own clients, and so on.

I am interested in gathering information from people who have experience in an MLM as a sales person and/or recruiter (either currently or in the past) and from people who have never been in an MLM.

Either way, I think you qualify to give your opinion!

I had fun putting the survey together, but building it was a bit like writing a Choose-Your-Own-Ending Book…only without someone dying in the end.

All of the answers I gather will be kept confidential and anonymous. (I won’t know who is telling me what; I’m only interested in the what…not the who.) All the information will be used for research purposes only. The survey is short and will only take a couple minutes to complete.

Will you help me? Pretty please, with a maraschino cherry on top?
