Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing/Emily Lynn

Writer's picture: josh banksjosh banks

Understanding the range of marketing schemes like the ones Ms. Paulson is talking about must be paramount to anyone interested in jumping onboard. The fact is these entities are designed to make money for those at the top and brutally take advantage of the actual workforce pushing the product(s). I felt this story cuts to the heart of what I have seen with many people I personally know who took part in these pyramids. I had at least three different people try to enroll me in Amway. Made it look easy and you didn't have to change your lifestyle, just use or invest in the products they have versus buying in the market. The bonus is you get paid, for buying their stuff. Get more people to sign up and you will make even more money. Eventually, it works itself and you have passive monthly income. What a joke.


Emily Paulson writes a great book which people should read about the horrors of big (shady) business. I suppose if you do not have a soul, then those kind of marketing jobs are perfect for you. However, with the hope you do have a soul and possess a little compassion mixed with love, being made aware of this type of thing is important. She lays it out there for the reader to understand. Behavior, Thought, Information and Emotional "Control" is the name of the game. They focus on money and how to exploit it. You would think they would do it to the actual consumer (which they do at times). However, it is despicable how they truly exploit their employee. No morals, ethics, or feelings towards the stress, anxiety, friendship/relationship breakers, or quality of life to the people who make them money. Kudos to the author who actually was making a sweet living off the system created, but knew the real affects of it on the people recruited. The system creates vampires (metaphorically speaking) which prey on the many. I appreciate the honesty given by the author in acknowledging her understanding with the system even though she was profiting by it and having a moral code of ethics to leave it. Leaving it is a lot harder than you would think. Read the book, it's an eye opener.
