Pink Truth
Facts, opinions, and the real story behind Mary Kay Cosmetics.

10 Big Lies of Multi-Level Marketing
May 18th 2012, 11:00
Following are some excerpts from Robert FitzPatrick’s article “The 10 Big Lies of Multi-Level Marketing.” Robert has studied MLMs and pyramid schemes for years and is the author of the book  False Profits and the head of  Pyramid Scheme Alert. Robert has also served as an expert witness on pyramid schemes in both state and [...]
This isn't Pink Truth's first time rolling out Robert as their "expert witness" that somehow proves Mary Kay is an illegal pyramid scheme.

But just like before, the only connection made between these illegal pyramid schemes and Mary Kay is Tracy's request that you "ask yourself if Mary Kay fits the criteria"

Robert's "facts" are considerably subject to opinion as it is... asking yourself if they apply to Mary Kay makes it that much more opinion subjective.

I will say this for his analysis though.  His observation that one - one sales is becoming a thing of the past is probably true.  If you are considering getting started in this kind of business, consider whether or not you want to fight the trend to buy online or in mega-stores.
