Pyramid Scheme Ads

[Rain Man]

I passed a pickup on my way home from work tonight, and it had a big sticker on the back that said,

"Make $30k a month or more with Qivana" (and then a phone number).

I want to know how the conversation went that resulted in "or more" being added.

So I'm envisioning that these people are sitting around the room and they're all making about $75 a month selling fruit juice or something to their grandparents. They need to recruit people below them in the pyramid, so they come up with the idea to put an ad on their truck.

"How about 'earn $75 a month with Qivana'?"

"That's not enough. No one would be stupid enough to do that."

"How about $100? That's a lot."

"Still not enough. How about $1,000?"

"$1,000? I've never seen that much money. But is it lifechanging? Can we get, like doctors and stuff to sell Qivana? I want everyone to sell it."

"Oh! Oh! How about $10,000? TEN THOUSAND! You could buy a house with that much money! Every month!"

"Too many zeroes. People will get confused. Let's just go with $30,000."

"$30,000 it is. Make up to $30,000 a month."

"But ... wait. We want to get everyone. What if $30,000 isn't enough? The really good salespeople may want to make more."

"That's why you're a genius. Let's make it $30,000 or more. That way we'll get everyone to call. No one can resist that."
