should I join MLM businesses? I am a shy person, and i do not take rejection well?

[Patrick W]

sorry, i think i got the wrong message out.

I like selling stuff (products, services). i dont mind (couldnt care less) if people dont "buy" from me.

but in MLM, you need to persuade other people to join the business too. and in that respect, i'm afraid of being rejected by friends and family. and since i'm shy, i dont want to just ask some random stranger.

so basically, i like the selling part of the business, but i dont like the recruiting people part.

you should never join one no matter what

Your fear of rejection may be more than just that. The best way to combat that fear is to learn proper marketing skills. It is far more productive to learn who your target market is made up of and how to position yourself in front of them.
I would recommend that you study the MLM industry more prior to getting involved. There are some great products in MLM and few that have great compensation plans.There are many ways to build business in MLM. It is important to find the path of least resistance and one that will meet your interests.
There are also many other direct sales opportunities that are not set up with a focus of recruiting.

Best Regards!

My opinion would be a strong no. Your message has come across clear.

Whether some will debate there is a difference between MLM and network marketing, they are one in the same. Both encourage recruiting strongly. Many compensation plans show that much of your commission is based on your level acquired through recruiting. If you do not recruit your business will suffer.

In sales it is necessary to persuade. If you are not comfortable with persuading people into a biz opp. I suggest that you look into more positive forms of the sales profession.

There are more great examples of why not to get into MLM though others answers. You can see the defense from reps who are either not making what they claim to others or they do not mind persuading people into a business model with a 97% failure rate.

Don't listen to people who say all mlm are schemes. I think people get into the home business industry thinking money is just going to shower on them with no effort on their part. In every business you are going to have to do work. You just have to find "work" you will enjoy doing. When you find that you won't be so shy to tell others. I don't take rejection well either. I understand that. But there is always going to be rejection somehow or another unfortunately. So now I just take it as a learning experience and blow it off. I've done a lot of searching and REsearching in this... and though it was hard i found something I enjoy. Email me if you would like some info. I would love to help!
