How to decline an multi level marketing offer?
Ewings asked:
My friend worked as a multi level marketing (part time). he’s been trying very hard to ask me going out to have dinner with him although i know his intention is to ask me to join his multi level marketing downline. I have been going out once or thrice already (just to pleased him) but i dont want to be a fooled for the fourth time already. i did not show any interest and i guess he supposed to know because when he mentioned the plan i did not said i want to join immediately nor did i decline the offer (maybe i was wrong in the first place for not saying clearly i do not interested). I guess he should have noticed when i declined his offer of going out for dinner quite a few times. recently he send some quotation form famous people for eg. everyone thinking of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself and if someone feels that they had never made mistake in their life, then it mean they had never tried new thing in their life. from this i can see he is attacking me indire

Tell him straight out you are not interested.
About the same way you’d decline any other ‘offer’ to scam you.
If it’s a friend, they should know better.
This is simple. Honestly is the best policy. Explain to your friend that you are happy financially and with the amount of workload you are already experiencing. Therefore there is no need for you to occupy your time with another job, no matter how easy it seems. Don’t wait for a sales person (your friend) to notice you’re not interested, they wont. Be up front and honest. If he’s any friend at all he will back off and find another fish (so to speak)
Firstly be assertive and say clearly, no I am not interested in the offer. Multilevel marketing only makes real money for a select few at the top of the pile. You can only be there if you helped set the scheme up. If you really want to make improvements in you life read some good/relavent PMA material and then apply it to the area you have most skills in.
Good luck!!
You need to be clear with him that you are not interested. If you show any hint of being interested he will be persistent, that is what they are told to do.
When you tell him you are not interested, be clear, professional and business-like, and try not to compromise your existing relationship with him.
Don’t take it personally if he throws those sorts of quotes at you, he probably doesn’t mean it, he has simply being brainwashed to say that to you.
If you are close to him maybe you should warn him of what he is getting into.
Tell him to **** off. ’nuff said.
Pyramid schemes are a scam - plain and simple. They are illegal in Europe as so many people at the bottom invest their money then get no return.
Tell him hes an immoral con-man and you dont want to join his exploitative money making scam. Then report him to the cops as a pedo.
Just be honest, and tell him you have no interest.
