Yes

No

Excel (at the time, around 10-12 years ago it was, had a competitive product (long distance phone service) with good pricing and good payout structure. I know personally a number of people who did well, a couple who did VERY WELL, as in $5000 checks every other day well.

I made a total of around $800 after expenses. This is do to the fact that I am not a go getter with this kind of thing and am not willing to alienate friends family, acquaintances, people I don't even know and etc with this kindof thing.

The fact that I could make near a thousand bucks without any real effort is a testament to that particular program, which I do believe no longer exists.

I am not anti people who do this stuff, and if they want to I am supportive of their efforts to do better, as long as I don't have to do it.

I believe one of the unpardonable sins is to try to sign up someone for Melaleuca or that juice stuff at church!

Or to sell peanut brittle.

I do know someone who is kind of comical with (sc)Amway. He uses churches deliberately. HE will visit a few times, ingratiate himself, make a few "friends", then hit them with the dreaded "meeting". He usually gets run off. He has been doing this for years with 0% success yet he keeps doing it. It is fascinating really. I would have thought he would have run out of churches in CT by now and had to brnch into New York and Massachusetts...
