Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve worked with a few mlms over the years and if you’ve worked for one you’ve basically worked for all: their products may be decent, even something you really like, but you’re absolutely right about very few making much money, and the products are overpriced. In the end, it’s not really worth it.
Kayley, I would still look into this amazing company. Considering the year that this RUclipsr joined, the company was BRAND NEW. They just turned 5 in January and they have been a blessing my life and my families life. They have a huge education plan that is step by step on how to make the business work and how to set it up.
Yeah, this company is seriously FANTASTIC! And a lot of the information shared in her video and comments is very incorrect. I suggest not hopping from company to company, for starters. Find something you understand and stand behind, and go for it. Dabbling in many at one time just isn't smart, in my opinion. ELEVEN companies?? I mean... THAT is the red flag here. As she says... please do your own research, because this is not accurate.
I got fed up with the company when the girl I met who did it had me in her group thats basically to sell crunchi was making very interesting health posts and I asked if I could share it and she said no the only way people can see this post is in this group lmao
Her not wanting a post to be shared has nothing to do with the company having a policy about it. It's a person decision. I'm not an advocate but I'm a customer. So the person might have shared a post in her team group, so she declined the request out of respect of internet property in a online group.
@@ljricker217 I dont know what you mean by protect. The health information is publicly available. Thats strange if you are writing about health but don't want people to share it
I have heard of crunchi but I didn't know what it was. I can't remember who talked about it. I know my boyfriend's family is big into mlms. His cousin got me to join jamberry. I think his aunt did doterra and his cousin has done a couple other ones. They also like pearl party.
Maybe you should have given the company more of a chance. Considering the year you started they were BRAND NEW. I am proud to say I am an advocate and I am SO happy that I made the decision to join them in 2020. They have been a blessing and such a community of women that really want you to succeed. If you didn’t make anything from this company, you apparently didn’t go with their entire education that is FREE to all advocates that tells you step by step how to make it work. Maybe you should give them another chance before giving them this review. Blessed Be.
I wish you the best! However, I do think I have a very educated opinion about this company and other MLM companies. I have joined 11 and put my other goals on hold (my blog, RUclips, etc.) while I tried to meet their fast track goals to make bonuses! I did this every time and I made a little, but not enough to break even, let alone make a profit after calculating all my expenses. The statistics are not in favor of an individual making a profit with Crunchi or with any MLM. Greater than 99% of people do not make money in an MLM and it isn’t for a lack of trying. The business model is set up for people to fail! Yes, you have to invest when starting your own company, but Crunchi is not someone’s own company who is a rep. I wouldn’t ever consider giving this company or another MLM a chance. I have lost thousands of dollars over time joining MLMs. It unfortunately took me learning a very hard lesson to see the light. I can’t get that money back, but I can share my experiences with others so that they can make informed decisions and hopefully not fall into the same trap.
@@TheCatholicHomemaker The issue seems to be that you are working ELEVEN MLMS, yeah, that isn’t going to work and you definitely wouldn’t make money with one. It’s sad that you are with 11, I’m not sure how easy it would be to follow with all of that.
I was floored when I learned crunchi was a mlm. It’s recommended in my crunchy groups- now I know why 😒 I hold the belief all mlms are predatory and I am so thankful I never got sucked into one. I’m sorry you spent so much of your money. All these people on here saying you didn’t try hard enough are 100% gaslighting you. Look up some anti-mlm content here on RUclips if you need any validation. Glad you’re free from them! The income statements of what reps make is proof it’s just a deplorable scam.
That's nice you were never sucked into one! I unfortunately had to learn the very slow and hard way. Thank you for your support! It's alright because there are lots of people I know who don't support MLMs, so I am now strong in my conviction to not join or financially support another MLM. Yeah the income statements are terrible!
Crunchi has never hidden the fact that they are a direct marketing company and the reason behind it for which we are proud of... also it is illegal to make income statements and Crunchi advocates do not do this and have been educated to never do this..Why because our founders are actually bright, beautiful, educated and honorable women.l which I love ❤️ This year crunchi corp was able to share a compliant income disclosure statement since they have been in business long enough finally to have a great snapshop for those who would like to know what the possibilities are for each title.
I am pretty sure you don’t actually mean that. No, I would not purposely waste thousands of dollars over time just to slander MLMs. I came into each MLM with fresh eyes and a hopeful attitude, but none of them were successful for me.
I applaud you for sharing your experience for entertainment purposes, these are only your opinions however and stating that is very difficult and unlikely to make money from an MLM is not a fact. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you and that you didn’t have a strong or exemplary upline. But it does work for many others out there. You have to put in the time and actually work your business to be successful. It isn’t for everyone and unfortunately due to videos such as this one many people tend to shy away from an MLM without knowing anything about the company solely because it’s an MLM... Anyhow; you stated numerous times in your video that you were working several MLM’s while working Crunchi, do you not find any fault in yourself for your business being unsuccessful? I can imagine it had to be difficult to be a wife, mother, and business owner. And one would you think, “let me make sure I can manage this and make it successful before taking on any others!” Also; I know you stated that at times you can skip over reading the policies and procedures, but every MLM P&P states that you cannot work multiple. As for feeling like you wasted your money on Crunchi, you did state you still use the product and even like them with exception to the foundation. You purchased products and used them so how is that a waste? Definitely could’ve used the money for other things but you didn’t, and your products are being used not in the garbage.
I want to share with you this article from the FTC to show you that people not making money or losing money from MLMs IS a fact, not my opinion: www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0065-multi-level-marketing-businesses-and-pyramid-schemes and this one too: paytoplayscam.com/why-mlm-is-bad-and-why-you-should-avoid-it Yes, I was part of other MLMs during that time, but I was more focused on Crunchi. There were other times I was only in 1 MLM at a time and the result was the same. I always had hopes and a good attitude upon joining each one, but I only ever lost money. It is interesting you mention me being a mother and wife. Moms are usually a target for recruitment and reps can use that as a way to guilt them into making money for their families. Of course some people are successful, but they are few and far between. What I mean by it being a waste is that the products are overpriced. Yes, I am using them so it isn’t a complete waste, but I don’t think the products are worth what they are selling for or even for any discount a rep receives.
Anti MLM people- Direct sales is a Business! It’s not about what will the company do for you and how much it costs it is about an opportunity for you to earn learn and grow! Of makeup and skincare isn’t for you then you should find something else. The money doesn’t come to you just because you join a company it comes if you work the business. I have seen many successful people in many mlm’s. It’s important to find YOUR niche and passion. Otherwise it doesn’t work. Just my 2 cents
I honestly feel kind of bad for you that you made this video. It makes you look really ignorant to the MLM world. I have been using their product line for over a year now and it’s the best product I’ve ever used. I decided to become an advocate a few months ago and have earned quite a bit in commissions without even holding a workshop. You have to know that when you go into business for yourself that it always requires an investment. You have to expect to use every ounce of your commissions to invest back into your business. No successful entrepreneur ever earned profits immediately. How you we’re so naive to think that you could join 11 MLM’s and instantly start making money is beyond me. Your video just makes you look horribly naive.
Your comment is incredibly passive aggressive and a backhanded comment. Why say something if you don’t have anything good or nice to say? I know you are saying it being reactionary because you are a rep. Otherwise, you wouldn’t care so much about what I say. It’s kind of funny you feel the need to defend them so much considering I didn’t even bash the products. I gave my honest opinion about them, which is most of the makeup I used is good, except for the foundation, which caked on my face. I have had others tell me the same thing. The arguments you are making are classic for MLM reps. This isn’t business for yourself. You are an employee of a large company who isn’t automatically paid for your work unless you are either able to make sales or recruit a team under you. You will make the most money by having a team under you. That is the truth and reality. I admit I was naive, but you aren’t saying that out of genuine pity for me. You are saying that to be outright nasty and hurtful to me. Did you know that I did NOT join 11 MLMs all at once? Most times, I was only in one or a couple at a time. I put my best effort forward. I put this video out because I don’t want others to make the same mistakes as me or be as naive as me. Yes, I am saying that and being vulnerable to help others. It is easy to fall into this trap. The statistics don’t lie about MLMs - the odds are against you to make money when you are part of an MLM. 99% of people who join never make any money. That doesn’t make me naive about MLMs, but honest and realistic.
