Also…..why is it so hard to sell MLM products? When I ran my own business, I never had to advertise or push people to buy, they came to me. I had an in demand product. I can’t imagine having to work THIS hard to try to make money that’s also so enmeshed with other people on your team. You aren’t in control of anything, especially your own paycheck.
One fun thing I do on social media is when a Facebook friend does a “charity sale” of their or a friend’s MLM, I will go to the origin site for the charity, be it an animal rescue, Children’s Miracle Network, etc., and make a $25 or more donation. I take a screenshot. Then I go to the post and post a comment with a photo and say along the lines of, “I don’t need any (insert worthless BS here) so I just made a donation directly! Also, if you make a direct donation, you can deduct it as a charitable donation on your taxes. This is not the case if you buy from an online party. Here’s a link to the site if you’d like to donate directly to this awesome charity!” They looooove that. 😅 (NOT!) I had one hun delete my comment, so I reposted it with an added, “Oh my goodness, I’m not sure what happened. Facebook must have deleted my comment!”
She mentioned that she has a regular job. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that job does not involve public speaking. This call could have easily lasted 10-15 minutes. Instead, she did exactly what she said she didn't want to do at the beginning of the call, "waste anyone's time".
It is insane for me to imagine going to an MLM party in 2024. Also Autism Speaks is horrible, so great that these two shit organizations are getting together...
She has such a soothing voice and is just not saying anything. Anyone who's suffered from insomnia will be familiar with the genre of long boring bedtime stories on yt but this is the most effective I've ever heard Asleep 10 mins in save the rest for tomorrow night
The fact that you only have to sell $800 of product a month to ostensibly be making a substantial income in the MLM is concerning. The money is all coming from below and it’s just a kickback of the downline’s purchases.
I’m almost shocked she’s slightly self-aware enough to realize nobody gives AF about their goals! Those posts “I’m so close to reaching this goal / title/ trip please help!” Hun, I don’t ask anyone else to do my job so that I can get my bonus. Who TF do you think cares about you achieving your goal when it requires MY money? Let’s call it what it is: those online posts are DIGITAL PANHANDLING. Stop saying “soaks” or “soaps” or whatever the hell you’re saying and stop wasting peoples’ time!
I honestly didn't even notice the "ums" until you pointed it out and then I heard nothing but them 😂 I am doing some vendor events the next couple of months for my crochet plushies and a couple of them are exclusively handmade and don't accept MLMs which I super appreciate! It's so annoying when they are everywhere and then try to recruit the other vendors 😒
She looks so chaotic and not well organised at all. I would have a hard time relying on her. She could of course be a lovely person otherwise, but not a business person.
It's not a good idea to just stop taking pain medication. She should have tapered her dose down for at least a few days before discontinuing it altogether. It's also not a good idea to go live on social media and tell people you may be going through withdrawal.
I find it weird that it is accepted by everyone in a MLM that if you are not a certain rank, you don't get all the information/news. For example this lady can attend a special live and then passes the information down to her downline. That shows it's not your own business. It's interesting when I see people in Pink Zebra bashing Scentsy. They say things like their sprinkle wax is better because it's soy wax and Scentsy is horrible because it's paraffin wax. Meanwhile their wax also has paraffin in it too. It's a blend. None of these companies should be allowed to say their wax is food grade. It's deceptive. But MLM is sketchy with always making claims with something.
She talked about how you can be successful in an MLM on TikTok yet I'm pretty sure TikTok has a rule that you aren't allowed to advertise or sell your MLM products on there?
As a autistic person, I need to make it clear. Autism Speaks is **Not** a good company to donate too. There’s a video of a old from the 90’s that portrays autism as a untreatable illness. Please do research guys. (I’m mostly talking to MLMs but if you didn’t know. Now you know)
I knew nothing about Pink Zebra before watching this video and I was initially guessing that it was an adult toy MLM like Pure Romance or something lol
Ugh, the "vendor event" segment made my eyes twitch. I just found out today that there is a "Christmas in July" vendor event in my town this weekend for "small business owners." The two women running it? One's in Mary Kay, the other is in Pampered Chef. And I know of at least one Plexus hun who's going to have a table. Blech.
Fun fact, part of the reason why she's struggling with her words and holding a train of thought is because anesthesia messes with your memory. Specifically short term memory and word recall! Yet another reason you shouldn't work 8 days after surgery. Let your brain take a break and reform those links.
The fact that I’ve seen several videos about Pink Zebra reps and was genuinely surprised when you said they sell scented wax really shows how little the products matter and how little they actually talk about them. I could have sworn they sold nail wraps. 😅😂
The only people who should smell fragrances you are wearing is if they are on an intimate distance from you! Stop putting on so much! You will only smell it for a very short while after it is applied, that is normal, your nose quickly starts ignoring the smell. STOP APPLYING TOO MUCH FRAGRANCE!
47:40 she is really in the wrong line of work. She obviously is super insecure about approaching people, she doesn't do planning or speaking to a group well. Is she convincing us she loves this type of work or herself?
She is completely misguided but I think she seems like a nice person who has been lied to and really thinks this scam will work for her - I hope she finds her way out
"I have so much time freedom in 'my' business that I get to continue working while recovering from surgery! You can't get that with a nine-to-five!" You're right. They'll just give you paid sick leave in those "evil" corporate jobs. Or in the case of an actual self-owned business (like I have), you can just... take time off as needed.
Sam, I know you talk about people buying their quota which for some reason the way you explained it this time clicked for me. The higher ranks buy their quota which allows them to get their cut coming up from the downlines? I watch so much anti MLM but I never understood it cuz I thought about the low ranks & im like but why? Now I get it. Dude this girl is ALL over the place, I get she’s healing but good grief this could’ve been a 15min check in! She’s going in circles & adding dump details about HER soaks & what she sprays in rooms & leaking soaps 😵💫😵💫😵💫
These candle/scent oil MLMs are the dumbest of all possibly. You can literally make your own candles or oiks for next to nothing, sell them yourself on facebook, flea markets, shopify, etsy etc and keep 100% of the profits.
Lemme get this straight one of her bullet points for new customers was TikTok & then she went on & on not about what to do but about how she, herself, doesn’t wanna put the time in cuz she has a full time job & it’s so awkward but maybe she’ll dip her toe in, but ah idk who’ll hop on. Thanks for the advice… & leading us to greatness. Are we done here? She doesn’t know WTF she is doing, how is she gonna help anyone? Ahhhh I’m done commenting sorry Sam, at least it’s engagement?😂
Apologies I didn't hear the I Ums at first. Then you pointed them out and now I can't finish the video because I want to throw my phone out the windows. Love the content though. I tried😂
I would be SO pissed if I had to sign on to this. It was completely useless. If she spoke faster & didn’t end every bullet point with: that’s not out yet, I don’t have that info yet, I don’t remember, I didn’t write it down & umumumumumum we could’ve flew through this or not had it AT all!! They waste so much of peoples time with these damn zoom calls!!
This is the most uninspiring "teaching" I've ever seen...Usually I finf the MLM to peppy and fake-happy, but I rather watch paint dry then sit throu a hour of this....I rather watch paint dry. Love this video thou, Sam! Keep up the great work.
Curious to opinions on craft market or Bingo fundraisers.... Do you feel that people should just donate directly to the charity/person money is being raised for? And to clarify what I mean by craft market I mean people selling their hand made items and donating some of their profit ..
HOW unprofessional - what a vague BS ramble - it’s like MLM ‘Fear and Loathing’. Also, she is recovering from surgery, she has another job no? Her employer leaves her alone whilst she recovers - I’d be pissed if I was her employer and I saw she could do this but couldn’t show at work.
I cannot believe on a training to get more customers, she’s gone on for 15 min on vendor events which is the most ridiculous advice when you don’t have product & often you have to pay to be a vendor at things. Now she’s off on a tangent about her, again. WTF? This is one of the roughest zoom call! Stop talking about your personal life. TRAIN on how to meet customers!
Quite interesting that 13:26 all this industry skill applies to zero jobs in real life. At least when you spend your time working as a barista, or administrative assistant ; you learn a marketable skill you can take elsewhere. All this industry understanding translates to nothing. 🤦🏼♀️
This lady hasn't heard of the cost of living crisis. Some people are resorting to bartering for essentials. They're not paying for your smelly wax melts.
I never understand why the girls in pruv it have, I’m guessing over $1,000 in stock on its own floor to ceiling shelving unit? Are they buying it to keep rank, do they ship it personally? It’s insane only MLM I’ve seen with something similar is scentsy but a packet of ketones costs more than a wax melt idk. Speaking of overusing oils, Hanna Alonzo did a horror stories today & a young living lady was there when she gave birth & put lavender oil on the babies head… AS IT WAS COMING OUT!!!! Which is fucked for too many reasons to list but one is causing infection to that area while she’s giving birth!! That one was insane & I’ve heard lots of horror stories, that I’ll never forget.
If you are at the grocery store and brag that you are a "Consultant" with Pink Zebra... it sounds so weird... like first you are NOT a consultant. Second Pink Zebra doesn't sound professional at all.
As an autistic person I want to remind everybody that autism speaks is not an “awesome organization”
I agree! They are truly horrible. People need to stop supporting them.
Glad I'm not the only one going Yuck at their choice of "charity".
100%
Exactly!!!
Autism Speaks is awful. Did they do zero research into the organization they are choosing to support? Big ick.
Yikes not them supporting autism speaks and calling it an 'awesome organisation' 😶
Can't expect a mlm hun to do bare minimum research ig
No one should support A$!
Also…..why is it so hard to sell MLM products? When I ran my own business, I never had to advertise or push people to buy, they came to me. I had an in demand product. I can’t imagine having to work THIS hard to try to make money that’s also so enmeshed with other people on your team. You aren’t in control of anything, especially your own paycheck.
Because the real customers are the consultants. As long as the MLM gets paid for the product, they do not care what happens to it.
One fun thing I do on social media is when a Facebook friend does a “charity sale” of their or a friend’s MLM, I will go to the origin site for the charity, be it an animal rescue, Children’s Miracle Network, etc., and make a $25 or more donation. I take a screenshot.

I had one hun delete my comment, so I reposted it with an added, “Oh my goodness, I’m not sure what happened. Facebook must have deleted my comment!”
The name alone “pink zebra” sounds so juvenile. Also leave it to an mlm to support terrible organizations like AS
I hate when any company pressures you to donate on their behalf. I'm not paying for your tax writeoff, I'll donate myself.
She mentioned that she has a regular job. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that job does not involve public speaking. This call could have easily lasted 10-15 minutes. Instead, she did exactly what she said she didn't want to do at the beginning of the call, "waste anyone's time".
This was a meeting that could have been an email
She's speaking to her team like they're her therapist...
@@platonicdays Majority do. Or they give a shaming speech of working your biz harder.
every time she says club pink i think shes about to say club penguin
LMFAOOOOO same
daniel larson fan?
Via your channel I have learned of more MLMs that I did not know existed. Now I know to also stay away from them.
It is insane for me to imagine going to an MLM party in 2024.
Also Autism Speaks is horrible, so great that these two shit organizations are getting together...
The pink zebra? Pink club? Perfect names for a strip club. 😂
God this was a rambling, boring, and pointless “training”. 100% could have been an email. Please, people have an outline and talking points!
She has such a soothing voice and is just not saying anything. Anyone who's suffered from insomnia will be familiar with the genre of long boring bedtime stories on yt but this is the most effective I've ever heard
Asleep 10 mins in save the rest for tomorrow night
The fact that you only have to sell $800 of product a month to ostensibly be making a substantial income in the MLM is concerning. The money is all coming from below and it’s just a kickback of the downline’s purchases.
You can tell it’s not a good model from that alone
If I took a shot everything she said ummm.....I will be drunk for a week!!
I’m almost shocked she’s slightly self-aware enough to realize nobody gives AF about their goals! Those posts “I’m so close to reaching this goal / title/ trip please help!” Hun, I don’t ask anyone else to do my job so that I can get my bonus. Who TF do you think cares about you achieving your goal when it requires MY money? Let’s call it what it is: those online posts are DIGITAL PANHANDLING.
Stop saying “soaks” or “soaps” or whatever the hell you’re saying and stop wasting peoples’ time!
I honestly didn't even notice the "ums" until you pointed it out and then I heard nothing but them 😂 I am doing some vendor events the next couple of months for my crochet plushies and a couple of them are exclusively handmade and don't accept MLMs which I super appreciate! It's so annoying when they are everywhere and then try to recruit the other vendors 😒
Let’s “raise money” to pay corporate for the tax write off we can’t individually benefit from.
I was going to say exactly this!
I didn’t notice how MUCH she kept saying um until you pointed it out. 😒 it’s hurting my ears now. 🙉🙉🙉
She sure did talk in circles, but at least she didnt talk about recruiting.
She looks so chaotic and not well organised at all. I would have a hard time relying on her. She could of course be a lovely person otherwise, but not a business person.
We’re 2 minutes in and I’ve already heard the term withdrawals 🤣🤣🤣
It's not a good idea to just stop taking pain medication. She should have tapered her dose down for at least a few days before discontinuing it altogether. It's also not a good idea to go live on social media and tell people you may be going through withdrawal.
What she needed to do is take more time off to recover, but you can't do that in a ML
I find it weird that it is accepted by everyone in a MLM that if you are not a certain rank, you don't get all the information/news. For example this lady can attend a special live and then passes the information down to her downline. That shows it's not your own business.

So many MLM Huns/Bruns on Tiktok. It's definitely a no no but the platform doesn't enforce it.
@@NeroTypical Ah okay, I think they might if you report someone, but I'm not too sure. They can always make a new account and keep going I guess.
I’ve recently come across some Facebook groups I wanted to join that state in their rules that no MLMs are allowed. It’s so nice to see lol
I hate how my favorite groups are inundated with MLMs. It's everywhere in the working homeschool parent groups and it makes me rage.
As a autistic person, I need to make it clear. Autism Speaks is **Not** a good company to donate too. There’s a video of a old from the 90’s that portrays autism as a untreatable illness. Please do research guys.
(I’m mostly talking to MLMs but if you didn’t know. Now you know)
In this case, "unprofessional" really means "half-assed". 😆
I'm so sorry but I had to speed this video at 2 times speed because my ADHD was having a fit 😳 That woman needs to go lie down and take a nap!!!
Every time I have heard “Pink Zebra”, I have mistakenly thought it was the adult toy party company 🤷🏼♀️
Public speaking is not her strong ability lol yet I made it 😅
That is being kind of
It’s a skill I implore her to learn seeing as she’s a team leader 😂 this is painful
I knew nothing about Pink Zebra before watching this video and I was initially guessing that it was an adult toy MLM like Pure Romance or something lol
At least she’s pleasant and not borderline raging.
Ugh, the "vendor event" segment made my eyes twitch. I just found out today that there is a "Christmas in July" vendor event in my town this weekend for "small business owners." The two women running it? One's in Mary Kay, the other is in Pampered Chef. And I know of at least one Plexus hun who's going to have a table. Blech.

Holy moly the pz lady is a sleeper. Almost fell asleep in my chair listening to her. But great video overall, loved it!!
I bet money, her biggest costumer is her mom
Autism speaks? [RAGE MODE ENGAGED!}
btw sound like the gloss is waxy. Might need to add a powder coat
The fact that I’ve seen several videos about Pink Zebra reps and was genuinely surprised when you said they sell scented wax really shows how little the products matter and how little they actually talk about them. I could have sworn they sold nail wraps. 😅😂
I thought it was the wine slushy mlm!
The only people who should smell fragrances you are wearing is if they are on an intimate distance from you!
Stop putting on so much! You will only smell it for a very short while after it is applied, that is normal, your nose quickly starts ignoring the smell. STOP APPLYING TOO MUCH FRAGRANCE!
Why can’t we do our meetings away from a common area of the house?! I’m SO distracted by the background noises it’s driving me crazy!!
Loved the "TicTok Hates Your Bullshit"!
"I don't want to waste your time"... Proceeds to ramble, play with phone, and waste time.
Your cut to you saying "okay we get it" made me belly laugh
I'm glad my job doesn't require me to run team meetings while sedated. 😂
47:40 she is really in the wrong line of work. She obviously is super insecure about approaching people, she doesn't do planning or speaking to a group well. Is she convincing us she loves this type of work or herself?
She is completely misguided but I think she seems like a nice person who has been lied to and really thinks this scam will work for her - I hope she finds her way out
She’s 100% talking to three people max and two aren’t listening.
The fact that yt had to recommend this video at least 4 times for me to realize that I forgot to subscribe 😂😂
"I have so much time freedom in 'my' business that I get to continue working while recovering from surgery! You can't get that with a nine-to-five!" You're right. They'll just give you paid sick leave in those "evil" corporate jobs. Or in the case of an actual self-owned business (like I have), you can just... take time off as needed.
God bless her, she seems so sweet but I wouldn’t take an ounce of advice from her. 😂
Sam, I know you talk about people buying their quota which for some reason the way you explained it this time clicked for me. The higher ranks buy their quota which allows them to get their cut coming up from the downlines? I watch so much anti MLM but I never understood it cuz I thought about the low ranks & im like but why? Now I get it.

This was such a painful watch. 😂
As someone who else says umm alot I’m so annoyed 😂
This isn’t a profession, so why should they be professional?
Love your analysis of this woman's rumbles. She really needed to take time to rest instead of doing this "training".
Also, you look great!
These candle/scent oil MLMs are the dumbest of all possibly. You can literally make your own candles or oiks for next to nothing, sell them yourself on facebook, flea markets, shopify, etsy etc and keep 100% of the profits.
Honestly she is super adorable and seems very sweet.
I, too, am a gimmick
I need less of her rambling and more footage of her cute pup.
Although not barking - that sets off mine 😐
bragging about donating to autism speaks is not a flex, it's about a million points against you and your company.
I already had this at 1.25x speed but upped it to 1.5x because GOD she speeks slow and drags on!
I hear "club p.." and I expect her to say "Club Penguin" every single time. She never says Club Penguin. Be a lot cooler if she did.
Please do the reunion award ceremony and how much these people have made its crazy!
Lemme get this straight one of her bullet points for new customers was TikTok & then she went on & on not about what to do but about how she, herself, doesn’t wanna put the time in cuz she has a full time job & it’s so awkward but maybe she’ll dip her toe in, but ah idk who’ll hop on.

Love the content though. I tried😂
wearing that exact same lip gloss right now🤣
NEVER at a Craft Fair/event-MLM. Hear you about the Kiosks. I would always go to the other side or long way around!
I’m surprised it’s not against corporate policy to add orders to a party when they’re not part of the party.
I can’t unhear ALL the times she says, “uhm” in this video. So annoying. 💯😒
I would be SO pissed if I had to sign on to this. It was completely useless. If she spoke faster & didn’t end every bullet point with: that’s not out yet, I don’t have that info yet, I don’t remember, I didn’t write it down & umumumumumum we could’ve flew through this or not had it AT all!!

This video is at least a year old. PZ stopped letting them move orders to parties last year.

what a HORRIBLE PRESENTATION. OH EM GEE
Blah blah blah blahblah bl☠️
NOT AUTISM SPEAKS 😮
Sorry-but can you hear her on TikToc?
You added nothing to this.
