Do you know what MLM is? Including the following is called pyramid selling.

Five steps of pyramid selling

Please enter the urn and prepare for brainwashing.

The biggest feature of pyramid selling is "killing cooked food", that is to say, the target of deception is mainly concentrated in "five friends", that is, fellow villagers, classmates, roommates, clansmen and colleagues, because these acquaintances are more likely to relax their vigilance. The pyramid seller first casually told his friends on the phone that he had made money from his business, and then warmly invited them to play. After cheating people, the MLM personnel in suits and ties warmly welcomed them. From the moment a new friend entered, MLM has been operating in accordance with the "two principles" and "the 28 th Law". The "two principles" are: first, take the initiative to help newcomers with things, and at the same time smile warmly to create a sense of warmth and increase trust; Second, be sure to shake hands (MLM is the industry that shakes hands the most), because shaking hands can shorten the distance. The "28 Law" means that 20% of newly hooked friends talk about their careers and 80% talk about their feelings, but MLM talks about nothing.

Preliminary brainwashing of sensational teaching

MLM institutions choose to sketch a bright future for "new friends" in a closed environment by giving lectures and introducing experiences by "successful people", and ignite the desire of "new friends" to make big money with the lie that "they can get high returns in a short time". After going through this step, "new friends" usually respond that their passion is expanding and they are ready to do something big.

"I'm here to win, and I won't bow to failure. There is nothing I can't do ... "This sentence, which appeared in the personnel notebook of MLM, fully revealed the" smug "psychology of the lecturers.

Hone your will and continue to brainwash.

MLM organization stipulates that getting up at 5: 30 every day, starting from reading and endorsement, are all books about success and marketing; Then there is a happy moment, asking everyone to tell a joke on the podium; Finally, impromptu speech, the purpose is to exercise eloquence. Many people will be excited about this new experience and new training, feel that they are valued, and hope that their personality and life can be changed.

It is understood that in order to create this illusion of "sharpening the will", the life of MLM personnel is very difficult. "Parents" told them, "Those who will suffer will suffer for a while, and those who will not suffer will suffer for a lifetime. We are all in the stage of starting a business, so it's nothing to suffer. We are doing unlimited business with limited money, and we should spend money on the cutting edge, not on enjoyment. " After such preaching, although the MLM staff were physically tortured, they were extremely excited and passionate, as if they were on the road to success.

After-school communication strengthens brainwashing

This link is to eliminate the doubts in the minds of members and solve various obstacles in their actions through mutual communication and question and answer. There is such a passage in MLM Notes: "There are good and bad lies. We just show you a profitable business with a white lie. So a white lie is not a lie! Just like when I was a kid, my mother said that injections didn't hurt. If I tell a beautiful lie, my children can bravely accept it. It's a good lie that we invite our friends to share the opportunity to bring wealth. When developing friends, remember this first, and don't feel guilty in your heart, so that you can feel at ease. "

After a series of intensive brainwashing processes, MLM members will break through the constraints of morality and law and eventually become hardcore MLM members, addicted to the dream of becoming "millionaires".

Hehe, believe that there will be no pie in the sky, believe it! Even if there is pie, it won't fall on our doorstep, haha
