Are MLMs Right for You? (0:00:00)

 

Whether it’s pest control, makeup, or solar panels, we’ve all come in contact with a multi-level marketing business, or MLM for short. Many of these companies get a bad rap for their recruitment model and often-aggressive selling techniques. They make us think of the pushy door-to-door salesman who comes around trying to sell us pest control or a new internet provider for ridiculous prices. But are they all bad? And what should you know if you’re interested in working for one of these companies? Joining us this morning is Ashley Smith, an attorney from Salt Lake City, here with us to discuss multi-level marketing businesses and how to determine if they’re a good fit for you.

How to Make Strangers Click (0:34:43)

 

It’s likely happened to all of us—that undeniable feeling of just “clicking” with a total stranger. Maybe you met in class, on the subway, or in a café. But regardless of the context, when you struck up a conversation with this person you’ve never met before, you instinctually knew you were going to be best friends. The fact that such an experience has happened to so many of us suggests there might be a reason behind the magnetic pull we feel with some people. Here to discuss why strangers click and a concept called “shared reality” is Dr. Maya Rossignac-Milon, Post-Doctoral Research Scholar at Columbia Business School.
