I was just wonderirng,what do Kenyans,or let's say,Nairobians,like to buy very often?

Is it food,is it clad,or is it what?

Let's probably take the example of clad. If clothes are what Kenyans enjoy buying a lot more often than anything else,picture clothes being sold in an MLM 'business' set-up. You recruit a guy to buy clothes from you,then the guy sells clad,and you earn points and commissions from that and on and on the tree grows. Does it sound in of out of place?

To me,this whole thing about MLM has not caught my attention like other business ventures have. I dont see the thrill in it,since the only measure of success is money and more money,period.

Other business ventures have some other thrill in them,which generates more motivation than money alone can.

No wonder most people view MLMs as ventures for greedy people. By the way,where is customer satisfaction and execellence in customer service placed,if it is not all about getting more people for more money? Did you know that in business it is more satisfying just to genuinely meet a customer's need? This kind of satisfaction is what brings about repeat business.

I wonder what else in GNLD and others,generates repeat business if it is not the pressure to get more money.

@ Charlie and Saitoti. MLM or Network Marketing is not a business in the pure sense of the word but rather a DISTRIBUTION METHOD. Someone figured they could provide a lot of opportunities to a lot of people by bypassing the Manufacturer=>Distributor=> whole seller=>Retailer=>Customer
model. and go straight from Manufacturer to Customer,how? by making the customer...a distributor/marketer at the same time.
All the markups from the distribution companies down to the retailer now benefit the distributor/marketer as commissions in a network marketing setup. Makes sense?

The manufacturer concentrates on product quality only. Everything else takes care of itself.

GNLD is not the only Network Marketing company out there and is hardly the best. The products may be good but its compensation plan is upside down,you may have to quit your day job,take a loan,kosana with 20 buddies and family for
you to 'make it'

There are other network marketing opportunities available to skerians that are less stressful and more rewarding.

SKerians,I'm very interested in this MLM idea but please tell me: Do I have to pay some subscription before I join? If not,I'm I required to purchase some quantity before I join? Will I be required to recruite 2 or 3 people to pay the same amount or buy the same quantity of stocks? Can I open a corner shop on River Road and sell my wares from there or I have to do hawking?

GNLD ni ya zamani... i heard of a new one in stato called mary kay? iko kenya? by the way MLM fine print says not to advertise or sell through shops... i wonder if they cancel your bonus cheque if you dont follow that rule


I would have said something smarter..but the moment passed

Provided you are a distributor you can sell them in whichever channel,shops,chemists,hawking etc. Its your business mark you.There are no middle men involved but the product moves straight from the manufacturer(GNLD) to the user/distributor,thus no advertising involved and you will never get the products from the supermarkets also. Points are accrued by distributors at the point of purchase thus how you sell them doesn't matter and am sure the chemist guy is a distributor also


Be proactive not reactive
