And you call these people friends? Jeez. If they’re just acquaintances then don’t bother too much how they feel. But if they really are the only friends you have… change your career direction, it sounds like a nightmare.
You are the maker of your own destiny. if u do not want it , just tell them it is not meant for u. dont give any reasons as why you do not fit into it.
Explain to them calmly that while you may not have tried it, you really don’t feel it’s for you and if they were a true friend they would respect your view. If they keep on at you, seriously start to consider your friendship with them.
When these people approach you with such “offers”, they aren’t being social, they are doing business. They will attempt to maneuver and manipulate you by blurring the line. There is no need to “politely reject” high pressure or aggressive salespersons. Ask “Is this a social occaision or a sales pitch? If you want to socialize, then let’s do that. If this is a sales pitch, I’m not interested.” Do you really want to talk to or have lunch with people who don’t regard you as a friend, but only as a sales prospect?
They’re not your friends. End those ‘friendships’ and get new friends. True friends don’t need anything from you. If all they are doing is heckling you because you won’t join, or buy things or go to meetings, that isn’t friendship. That’s salesmanship. And, everyone knows you don’t go into business with your friends (that is, if you want to remain friends).
So, when they say you haven’t tried an MLM yet, you say to them, “You don’t have to try it a pyramid scheme to know that most people don’t make money”. When they say you’re not motivated to go to a ‘motivation seminar’, tell them, “You’re already so motivated that if you went, you’d become hyperactive”. Finally, when they get mad when you say, “No” and call you stupid, then say to them, “Stupid is as stupid does, especially by joining an MLM” and walk away. When they don’t invite you to dinner, go out and find some new people. That truly means that these people aren’t friends (and never were).
your friends should respect your decision not to invest time or funds into what they called back in the day; a pyramid scam…don’t let anyone bully you into anything that makes you Leary…you are the smart one, you work hard for what you have, it’s healthy to want to hold onto it…
Comments on How should I do to politely reject aggresive offers from friends in MLM (Multi Level Marketing) business? »
don’t be polite, they take it as a weakness they can exploit. be aggressive back.
request them temporary loan for one year without interest.
