I was first introduced to MLM thru Amway before the change to Quixtar. The concept is sound, but like many who have already stated, the #'s just make it difficult to make any serious money. I opted out of Amway after about 3 years.
As for the "pressure tactics" we could start an entire topic on this alone. NO matter what MLM business you are developing, it is critical to weigh the opportunity like an business owner. This includes who you partner with. If pressure tactics is not the way you want to work your business, then stay away from those associates. If the business is sound but the associates are not the type you want for a long term working relationship, then search for or develop a new "style". As with any business involving people, there is potential for both good and bad apples.
