MLM HORROR STORIES #14 | Companies lying about job duties, MLMs ruining relationships

[@emilysnow6757]

The Kirby vacuum seller that was kidnapped in Utah to do rounds without a coat: I might owe you an apology! I live in Northern Utah and 7 or 8 years ago Kirby was hitting my neighborhood hard. They would, I'm serious, come to my house 2-3 times per week for several months. At all hours. Early morning through 9 pm. I even screamed at several sales people. I'm so sorry! I thought YOU were being stupid and obnoxious. I didn't realize you were stuck in such bad situation. I've learned since then. I ended up calling the local Kirby office and doing more yelling. They finally said that I could put myself on the 'do not contact' list. My neighborhood was so pissed that probably about 75 other houses near me called to put themselves on the list. Kirby finally quit coming to my neigborhood.

[@lexigrimhaive]

I had a neighbor growing up who did something like this. It also resulted with them no longer coming to our street. Except it wasn’t an MLM. *It was the ice cream truck.* 😭😭

[@florencebastien2162]

It made my skin crawl hearing that there are MLMs out there who literally suggest that young people get into a van with strangers, don’t let them leave even if the person says they have an emergency, and trapping them with someone reading adult magazines. I thought I was going to break out in hives!

[@kimberlya7267]

they also leave these people ALONE in strangers houses... it's insane.

[@Annie1962]

I'd be calling the cops - that's deprivation of liberty

[@clinto2501]

I fell for it as a young buck. I was so ashamed

[@MeatwadSmoking]

Yep. I almost fell for it once. I knew all about MLM’s and didn’t trust them, but I was 21, and had never heard of the Kirby Company, so I didn’t know they were one at first, or all the context clues I’d need to weed them out yet. Now I’ve noticed they all use the same formats and the same scripts, same tactics. The company seemed sketchy but I had nothing to lose, they weren’t asking me to buy anything. But I didn’t know they expected me to sell something. The ad listed the job description as “assembling machinery” I figured it meant working an assembly line. Then they’re implying that this is a business that dispatches maids to clean houses. After that they said that the company has all this money because it doesn’t spend money on advertising. It operates on word of mouth, apparently that’s what we were there for? It wasn’t cleaning houses, it was demonstrating how the machine works. Ok so that’s like a commercial. Well, commercials at least pay for their time slot. People in the commercials actually get paid. They tell me to practice demonstrating the machine in front of friends and family. Ok so this is practice. What I did not expect, because he hadn’t gone over it in training til after the fact, was that the recruiter, required us to call him after the demonstration, and that he would be trying to negotiate a sale with my friends and family. THATS when I realized what kind of “job” this was. I knew I smelled something sketchy when In training the recruiter “taught” us about their policy and how recruiting folks under you gets you part of their commission blah blah blah. I saw that red flag, but at that point I was just sticking it out til I got paid for the training, like the ad Claimed. Until they pull out a contract they try to rush us to sign. Without letting us read it, stating that “I understand the training Isn’t paid”. . . No I most certainly don’t understand. They lied so much to us. After the contract, there’s whispers about having to knock on strangers doors and shadow another salesman to learn the art of vacuuming a rug, and then he told us that Monday we’re gonna be taking a bus and doing all that. Knocking on doors, which I was also told wasn’t my job. There was nothing in the ad about going into strangers’ houses, which is a rule I took seriously since I was a kid. So the weekend rolled around and I decided that now that I know the training wasn’t going to include compensation, t they expected me to sell against my will, and go into strangers homes? So the weekend rolled around and I decided that I had about enough of all that. I bounced out. I They literally expect me to go into a strangers house and not even pay me for the week of training g I had to show up everyday for? Sales has always been the job that I’d never want to have to do. I hate selling. He said nothing about selling til the opportunity arose. It was quite rude of him to mislabel the job description. But a lot of others hate selling just as much as I do, nobody would click on it if. By the way, $1400 a piece isn’t the price that distributors pay for the machines. That’s the lowest down payment that sales is allowed to negotiate. Idk if they can go lower, I stuck around for longer than I should have, but I didn’t stick around long enough to find out. But I haven’t seen them go lower than that number. The whole price is commission for the upline. I found out when I was there, that distributors only pay $250 per unit. That’s not a typo, it’s really two hundred fifty dollars per machine that the manufacturer charges distribution. So their sales commission is significantly more than folks think. It’s awful. They don’t want folks to know the cost of production of this machine is much cheaper in comparison to how much they sell it for. It does not cost $1400 to make. They only say that so they can justify the price tag.

[@SelinaShaw]

I can't say this loud enough or often enough: Unpaid mandatory training is never okay. Even if you are 1099, those are billable hours. Ssme with travel.

Yes yes yes! Everyone should learn their rights. Learn about your state and federal worker rights, and protect them at all times. When companies violate your worker rights, speak to an employment lawyer asap.

Hannah, I love your content. Out of all of the anti-MLM content I can honestly say this is the best. Your commentary and insights are just so spot on and informative and really paint an accurate picture of the industry. You do a wonderful job of showing how regardless of the age of the company, the product, or the compensation plan, or how the company is framed, they are all the same.

I can't get enough of those stories. Before the pandemic I haven't even heard of MLMs. Ofcourse once I've learned about them, I've realized that I've runned in to a few of them over the years, even almost got sucked in to one of them. I can't get enough of your adorable fur babies too. I just love when they drop in for a conversation like that. 😸😊

I quit my steady UPS job when I was 20, to be suckered into Kirby. I was dumb. I made nothing. I've been embarrassed about it still 20 years later. I even tried to sell a vacuum to people with no carpet. Good thing I only lasted a couple weeks. The most uncomfortable weeks of my life

I've worked up the ladder at Office Depot my entire adult life. Office Depot does not have any sort of partnership with any mlms, unless she is referring to some sort of corporate card program (ie any company large enough gets a discount program to shop with us)

My mom is 100% one of those people who will buy a ton of MLM stuff from her friends to "support" them. I totally loved using the paparazzi tests for heavy metals as a way to get her to throw every single piece she has of theirs away. I don't think her friend was still selling it when that happened, but it still felt like a win.

[@caseyjc5]

I remember going to a group “job interview” for Kirby a few years ago. I had no idea what I was in for until I was there and couldn’t wait to leave. It wasn’t just that I wasn’t interested in selling vacuums but I also realized, especially from the many job experiences I have had before and a few years before that going to a group “job interview” selling knives, that this isn’t a legitimate job. Fortunately I had another job offer from a temp agency and turned this one down when I got the call that I was hired. But I did feel bad for the others in that interview especially since they were middle aged or older and seemed really interested in it.

[@fhannie7094]

In the story around the 26:21 mark- I recognize that dialogue given by the mlm’er. It sounds like that person is in world wide dream builders or world wide group. They consider themselves a “mentorship university” and they use Amway products, the bit about partnering with Apple, Home Depot, Starbucks is just program that's apart of Amway that allows for discounts to purchase from those “companies they partner with”. I was in world wide group for five years. I've been on the fence about sharing my story cause the whole experience was cringey when I think about how long it took me to leave. If you have any questions about WWG/Amway. I have a box full of my “MLM” stuff I can go through. I don't think I've seen a deep dive done with WWG. They work very hard to sound legitimate because they posture you into thinking you've “earned” the opportunity through a vetting process. Hope this helps. :)

Classic Amway script "partnership with Amway" it's the way they all try to justify that they are NOT actually Amway. They're in "partnership" with them. The way I got sucked in 20+ years ago was through the "personal development" that they were pitching that worked "in partnership" with Amway. *sigh*

[@L0stf0rw0rds]

I had no idea Kirby was an MLM. My mum got one when I was a kid, and I remember them demonstrating it working on my bed/mattress. I just thought it was a demonstration, and they did annual servicing too. The hoover is really good and still running about 20 years later!

"Once you have that degrees, no one can take it away from you." Yes, usually, unless you do something extremely bad that puts the institution's reputation at risk; for example, someone at my university got their Bachelor's of Arts degree rescinded because they went to Africa and pretended it was a Doctorate of Medicine and opened a practice. (Can't give more details because of confidentiality agreements but yeah, thought the people here would enjoy this story).

I also went to the interview for the Canadian telcom MLM, Kirby, AIG (some insurance MLM), door to door sales for various things.... I always ABSOLUTELY KNEW that I did NOT want to do any sort of sales or commission based work. Thankfully that kept me from getting sucked into anything sales related my whole life

I saw a bright blue Mini Cooper today PLASTERED with Arbonne (idk if I spelled it right) advertisement stickers, it was disgusting and made me giggle because that “Free Car” isn’t so free and is basically just turns them into a free advertiser and completely ruins their car hahahaha

I see "Scentsy" decals on SUVs where I live.

There's a hilarious section in the movie "Go" on an mlm pitch. Good movie.

I haven't really searched it on youtube but haven't really seen anything either but I'd love it if someone did a deep dive on Kirby.... I know they talk about being kidnapped and going door to door but having them weasel there way into your door to do this presentation is pretty awful too. They say it's a short like 30 minute thing and it's 3-4 hours long. like get out of my house dude.

The entire time I am watching your videos I had to think about the "Insurance Company" a former friend of mine worked for. I am so happy to know I wasn't wrong about that one & that I got out before signing anything.

If someone tried to pitch me on their MLM, I would simply block them. I would be too stressed to explain or try to argue with them.
