I was invited to an MLM recruitment meeting once when I was barely out of school. To me the whole thing seemed very obvious. I could see how it would make some people money, but I knew I wasn't the type of person who could naturally pull that off.
I told them as much privately and I wasn't bothered by it again.
The cookies they offered were delicious though.
Now that I'm older I wonder if being part of that would've taught me some of that charisma the people there exuded. They just seemed so likable and I wish I could at least emulate that.

It probably would do the opposite - MLMs teach you to turn every single interaction with another human being a sales pitch. People tend to be really put off by that.
