Approached by MLM people at McDonald

Boyfriend and I were supposed to have a casual dinner and date at McDonalds, Merdeka Walk, last night. But it was ruined by sudden appearance of some MLM people. Ugh. Apparently, a woman who sat next to our table came and approached us when we has just finished our meal.

When she said that she wanted to introduce a business to us, we knew that it must be about MLM. Oh my.. I am very much allergic to MLM related stuffs but somehow, we gave her a chance to talk about her so-called-business.

Guess what, it was women’s sanitary pad business, called Anion from Malaysia. Hah! I must be lacking of socializing or what cause this is my first time ever hearing about sanitary pad as MLM business.

It was getting more interesting when she did a demo of comparing the Anion pad and L pad (a well-known brand in the market) by pouring water on both pad, etc. Bottom line, she was trying to tell us how good the product is.

Next, she moved on to the marketing side and told us how much money we can earn from this business. Well, the earning sounds so great and promising (typical MLM’s promise). After 30 minutes talk *yawn* , then only she told us about how much do we need to invest. Oh my.. This is the main point that I have wanted to know from the beginning.

The basic package costs IDR.800.000 ($80) and we would get total 19 packages of pads to start the business. The highest package would cost IDR.24million ($2,400). I calculated it and heh, it was pretty expensive for a use-and-throw thing. Probably 4 times the price of L product.

No doubt, the product seems to be very good compare to other well-known brands in the market. I would buy it as a customer. But, if I was asked to join the MLM, nah.. it is not for me. MLM is the last thing that I want to go for and try.

Anyway, we managed to escape from them although I stupidly left my real phone number for them. Aiks..
