My friend is in a MLM company. She is pushy af. I ever received more than 30 text messages from her AT ONE SHOT just telling me how great her company and brand is and I should consider buying the products. Organic and natural and ethical blah blah blah.
I was so annoyed my phone kept buzzing I had to silent it and avoided opening my WhatsApp the whole day. When I finally replied one day later, I was blunt and said “Wah you flooded my phone” but she just went on and on even more saying she has such good info so she must share it with me.
So what triggered this rant is she kinda pushed me to purchase something from her. I’m too soft goddamnit. I felt bad also lah cos this is her only source of income and she spent time to sell to me (even without me asking) so I gave in and gave her one small order, hoping to shut her up for a while. I don’t even know how much I need to fork out since she never confirmed the price. Siao liao.
She’s a nice person, helpful and easy to chat with, but definitely not the best salesperson around.
Just wanted to rant, and maybe get some advice how to decline her sales talk without offending her.
So for those who work in MLM, how do you feel being the thick-skinned one who keeps bugging your friends to buy from you? I really very curious what goes on in your head to push your sales like that until you push your friends away. Help lah. Very annoying leh.

- Block her text messages temporary or dont reply. Trust me. If you buy once, she will keep coming to you.
- Just block her. Walk away from such friends. No need to paiseh. On both your WhatsApp and on your phone. Cos when she know you block her on WhatsApp, she will spam you on phone text msgs and/or calls.
- A real blunt person would just say no and ask her to stop selling you stuff.. i did with a friend and he has stopped doing so.. draw the line right from the start
