Yeah I'm with you guys. I've been researching all day. Actually bub the fact that an MLM does not market it's own product isn't what categorizes them as a pyramid and therefore illegal by the FTC, they advises that MLM organizations with greater incentives for recruitment than product sales are to be viewed skeptically. It's the balance of income based on recruitment and income based on performance that is the factor. In legitimate MLM's, the commissions are earned from sales and
services and not solely from recruitment. In TOD or TEAM's case the service is direct distribution where you earn points and therefore money by purchasing and getting your friends and family to do the same, earning a percentage of their purchases and the purchases of their recruits and so on. There is also a rule of thumb that separates a legit MLM and a pyramid that states that an organization must require that a member sell 70% of their inventory before purchasing more, in order to prevent inventory loading. My biggest questions here is How can a business survive when it’s only customers are its own partners? And so it seems to be "legit" until complaints are filed and the BBB investigates just like they did with Amway, which by the way is back in a big way. These are all just revised takes on the same concept. Sell merchandise and motivational Business Support Materials to people whom you recruit and convince them to do the same. You then recieve kickbacks on your productivity. The people at the bottom struggle while the people at the top prosper, hey wait....
