Such a good question sir.

I think it's because I was raised in a single parent home. :shrug:

Tell him you'll show up if he blows you in the parking lot.

This would seem like a perfect time to stand up and pull a cartman....

One of the original moderators of this site is a millionare many times over running these things. Some people got it and some don't.

You just need to quit hanging out with Luzap.

My grandparents have made a shit ton of money over the years selling Prepaid Legal. That kind of work is hardly my style but it is possible to be successful with the program.

The last time I got caught up in one of those deals, was when "a friend" envited me out for coffee one night. I thought it was kind of strange and my WTF meter was starting to go off. When I got there, he starts in hot and heavy on the Amway pitch. I stood up, shook my head and haven't talked to him since. That was 20+ years ago. Others have tired, but I can smell those things coming from a mile away and don't bite on their line of BS.
Anyone that doesn't have the nuts to talk to you outright, about their "great deal," is a pile of crap and a waste of my time.

I don't understand why some of you are so negative about this stuff. The Ramada conference room is where billionaires are born.

She could be an accomplice, you know?

I wonder if he noticed she was in on it as well...

If there was only some way to tell what he was thinking...

We've all fallen for this stuff. I once let a vacuum cleaner salesman into my house, and the guy wouldn't leave. Even though I ended up getting a free vacuum out of the deal, it didn't work on blood stains at all.

The absolute worst are the door-to-door home security people. My dogs do a good job of running them off

Anyone who buys/subscribes to prepaid legal deserves the fate they receive

I had a fraternity brother who was a couple years younger than me ask me to meet him for lunch, because he wanted to network and ask me a couple questions about my job.

I assumed it was because he was a year or two out of school, and was either looking for advice while job hunting, or even looking for job leads. Of course I obliged. It was just lunch.

Well, my job at the time was laid back and sales oriented, so I showed up in jeans and a button up to a Panera. I went in fully intending on paying for the dude, and ready to help him out with his job hunt.

I show up, and he's in a full suit with a briefcase, and there's some other dude who is in a suit, standing five feet away, obviously having a fake phone call which would allow my buddy to give me an "intro pitch" and then "bring in the big guns."

Me: Uh, hey, Eric, what's up?
Eric: (nervous) Hi! Thanks for meeting us!
Me: We still having lunch, or...?
Eric: Yes! I will take care of it. Get anything you want!
Me: I'm fine, I got it. Was there anything in particular you wanted to talk about?
Eric: I just wanted to find out about your current job, what your benefits look like and how your financial planning is going?

Turns out he had just started with Northwestern Mutual, and set up sales meeting. His boss, or lead, or whatever... was just this total douchey, condescending knob that I can only imagine threatened him into duping his friends and family into sales pitch meetings. I laughed at him, and told Eric that he's better than this company and its BS sales tactics, and to give me a call if he wanted to ever talk about life, or looking for a real gig.

Haven't heard from him since, but he switched jobs about 3 months later. Hope it was worth it.

I fell for this once and paid $500 to become a member. Tried to sell the shit and couldn't sell a single effing unit, not even to family and friends. This is when I decided I was not a good salesman and would never do sales EVER.

Good decision, I love my job and career as a Network Administrator.
