I am sure at some stage you must have a come across the Herbalife MLM opportunity. The reason for this is that there are over a million Herbalife distributors and the company exists in nearly every country. With so many distributors world wide most people that I have come across have been invited at some stage or another to attend a Herbalife mlm opportunity meeting.

I was one day browsing the internet and I came across this professional web site that was promoting a work from home business opportunity. I immediately ordered the cd as it said that this contained the information about the business. I completed the cd and completed a survey. Next I ordered the starter kit and attended a success training seminar. I was taken in by the speakers and the testimonials. Every body claimed that they were earning a lot of money and that they were experiencing fantastic health results.

I immediately went to the supervisor position - the highest position that you can start in the company. I ordered a recruiting, a retail web site and the training web site. I started retailing the products and recruiting people. I learnt so much about marketing and mlm by doing this.

Was I successful? Not really, the main reason being that I do not really like to call people and don’t like rejection. Now I think this is why most people fail in mlm programs.

I really learnt a lot about mlm marketing from this experience and it has helped me tremendously. I would definitely recommend it to someone else to learn about marketing. Sometimes there are things that you cannot learn from reading ebook. I still use some of the products as I found them to be of very good quality. However I would stick to an internet business where I do not have to call any leads.
