J.,
I did something identical to The MOM Team while I was pregnant with my son. I wanted to see if it would work before I had him. It was a No Go for me.
I did IMoms. These are companies that are focused on women, stay at home moms or working moms who would like to make some extra cash and maybe one day be an at home mom.
The best way to some it all up is A LOT MORE WORK than what one might believe. These companies represent Melaluca. The products rock. I won't deny that. You become a customer of theres and you have a minimum amount of products you have to purchase each month to stay active and get the discount. Then you spend as much time as you can calling people and trying to get other people to sign up underneath you. You then gain a percentage of the amount of money they spend on products. YOU ARE NOT SELLING PRODUCTS, you are trying to create new members and convert your home over to all melaluca products so you can purchase the minimum amount each month.
The shipping was high. And I strongly disliked calling upon people and trying to sell this opportunity. Not my thing. Especially once I got to know all of the downsides of it I had a hard time trying to convince anyone to do it.
Even once you get people signed up underneath you - they fight the same struggles with the downsides you do and you have to spend your time coaching them and trying to convince them to stay at it.
I wouldn't recommend it. I've considered becoming a member strictly for the products because I have excema and the products are excellent for that, but I don't want to sell the opportunity or worry about building a team below me.
