What’s a good way to turn down a Multi-Level Marketing invitation? ?

I’ve gotten two multi-level marketing invitations this week from people who I know, and I find it extremely uncomfortable to not respond or say no. What’s the best way to handle these situations. I know that I’m not interested in a pyramid scheme or selling products!

    A good way is to thank them for the opportunity and advise them that you are not in a position to undertake anything new at this stage.  You can tell them that you want to focus on other things right now such as your career, family, etc.  Wish them the best of luck.

    Just say "MLM" is a scam and it will NEVER make you money. It has been proven TIME and TIME again.

    You learn all you can about he product they are MLM-ing and then you go to their little recruitment party and you let loose with all of the problems...the products you can get cheaper...and the horror stories of other people who have participated.

    They will ask you to leave.... and NEVER will they speak to you of MLM again.

    Say no.

    No.  NO no no.

    Just tell them it's not for you. They are trained to be aggressive. Very few people actually make any money in MLM.

    Telling someone 'no' does not make you rude or a jerk in any way.  A simple, "NO thank you" is sufficient.  If they ask again, respond with, "Uh...I don't think so."  And if they press on, that's when THEY are being rude and you're within your right to stand up for yourself.  "I already told you no.  I don't appreciate you pestering me to join your little pyramid scheme.  Please stop asking."

    You don't owe them anything except "no thanks".

    Trying to reason with someone brainwashed is a waste of time.  They think they are going to get rich or at least make good part time money. Reality is they will probably lose money.
