16 Times People in MLM’s Made It Clear They Have Absolutely No Shame When It Comes To Making A Sale

16 MLM Screenshots That Will Make You Cringe

If you aren’t familiar with multi-level marketing companies, (aka, MLMs) they’re companies that emphasize both direct sales and recruiting other people to join the company and work under you so you can also receive a percentage of profit from the inventory your recruits buy and sell.

MLMs have been around for decades. One of the most well-known MLMs is LuLaRoe, a leggings company that has had a ton of scandals in recent years and ultimately had to pay over $4 million to settle a lawsuit that claimed it was running a pyramid scheme*. But trust me, there are plenty of others out there!

If you haven’t, here are a few screenshots to give you an idea:
