Why I HATE direct sales
1. First you'll find your friend(especially long-lost ones), suddenly ask you out and somemore offer you a ride. Next you'll find yourself sitting in some hawkers centre listening to your friend's "preaching" about the superiority of some health products which can cure, well, basically every disease, while at the same time showing you dozens of photos as "proof".
2. When you asked him/her why some cancer patients who use their products (aside from those in the photos) couldn’t recover, you’ll get this, “because they aren’t taking enough”.
3. When you ask him/her how much is enough, Ha!! You’ll get this, “Take the WHOLE bottle (500 tablets) a day!!!” But when you blinked in disbelief, you’ll be lectured that, “Sometimes people just can’t accept the way things work. HEALTH is put in front of them. It’s just a matter of choice”.
4. You cannot excuse yourself to leave earlier because he/she offered you the ride there. So you won't have the transport to get the hell out of there. And you can't say you're busy or need to go somewhere else, because you'd already told him/her on the phone that you are free when he/she ask you to come out.
5. When you ask how come those products so expensive, you'll get this, "One small tablet of our ******** (product) has 32 times the elements of normal vitamin you get from the market, and is equals to18 green apples!!!"
6. Then you’ll be asked to attend some kinda health seminar organized by their direct sales company which costs hundreds of ringgit. When you told him/her that its too expensive, he/she will insist that it's worth spending those money for the sake of your health and your family's health.
7. When you told him/her that you're unable to attend, then you'll be lectured that "nothing comes before your own health".
8. When you still insist that you need to seriously consider about it, he/she will reply, "OK but I know you won't disappoint me". Then he/she will pull out some kinda membership application form and say, "Here's something you DON'T have to consider. By being a member of *****, you'll be elligible to....blah...bla..bla..."
9. BEFORE you manage to stop him/her, you'll find him/her starting to fill up the form for you, WITHOUT your consent. When you told him/her that you don't have the money to pay for the membership fee, he/she will reply, " Since we're friend, this little money, i'll submit first. You can always pay me later."
10. He/she’ll promise that you WON’T regret after joining their big-happy-family which shares good things together.
11. You'll be reminded that at *****, they don't speak of selling-buying. Instead they use the term SHARING. Why? Because GOOD things are meant to be shared. Ha!!
12. After hours of "sharing", he/she will offer to pay for the RM1.50 ice-Milo that you ordered earlier.
In the end, your wallet will BLEED, for the sake of SHARING.
Sounds familiar?? Ha!
