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 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...

Howdy fellow ex Excel-er.
I think Excel was a good opportunity. They, IMO, are the reason you can buy unlimited long distance from the big phone companies.
But, again, I was totally amazed at the people who would literally rather pay more money... much more money... every month... than change phone companies.
It was quite an eye opening experience
