Curiously, an out-of-state acquaintance approached me about MonaVie, not a fellow Utahan.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896006691904225007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154406597353291752.post-61580822752079189792009-12-14T21:47:21.780-07:002009-12-14T21:47:21.780-07:00A good friend got into Noni a few years ago.

The friend came over and wanted to put Noni juice in my infants eye.

When you move here as an outsider from out-of-state, you already know something about the whole church thing, so that’s not really a surprise. But the high level of MLM activity and involvement was both surprising and head-scratching. For lack of a better way to say it, it seems like here in UT many otherwise-very-reasonable people who probably would have little or nothing to do with MLM were you to come across them in other states are way involved in it. <br /><br />As an outsider, one always wonders whether the MLM pitch leverages some aspects of church-related social structure- whether just the human network, or perhaps even some of the positive, “can-do” messaging themes, but that’s just conjecture. It’s a mystery to us.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154406597353291752.post-33170054358240019402009-12-14T08:46:34.110-07:002009-12-14T08:46:34.110-07:00When we lived in Orem we were constantly getting h...When we lived in Orem we were constantly getting hit up for the latest get rich quick MLM pitch. We had to be down right belligerent to people before they would leave us alone. And that was just my inlaws. In the 19 years since we moved away from Utah I haven't been hit up with a MLM pitch once. There's hope!!!Mike Jhttp://www.mikeonhisbike.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
