Try less than 1%. <br /><br />"Truth: MLM is not new. It has been around since the late 1960's. Yet, today it still represents less than one percent of US retail sales. In year 2000, total US retail sales were $3.232 trillion, according to the Dept. of Commerce. MLM's total sales are about $10 billion. That is about 1/3rd of one percent and most of this sales volume is accounted for by the purchases of hopeful new distributors who are actually paying the price of admission to a business they will soon abandon. Not only are MLM sales insignificant in the marketplace, but MLM fails as a sales model also on the other key factor maintaining customers. Most MLM customers quit buying the goods as soon as they quit seeking the "business opportunity." There is no brand loyalty."<br /><br />http://www.falseprofits.com/MLM%20Lies.html<br />GuyReviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270600804829601202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600505010903219424.post-21503905036322409672013-01-06T14:19:45.088-08:002013-01-06T14:19:45.088-08:00this post should be in a kind of FAQ section of th...this post should be in a kind of FAQ section of the blog, maybe with posts about claims like "Harvard teaches MLM" and "MLM represents 30% of US economy.
