How AI and ChatGPT are changing MLM prospecting

I have noticed a new trend where MLM distributors are using ChatGPT and AI tools to write their prospecting messages, social media posts, and follow-up sequences. On one hand, this makes their content more professional and less obviously copy-pasted. On the other hand, it removes the personal touch that is supposed to be the foundation of relationship marketing. Are you using AI in your MLM business? Do you think this is the future of network marketing or does it defeat the purpose?

While I understand your frustration, blaming the MLM model for individual failure is like blaming the gym for not losing weight. The tools are there - not everyone will use them effectively. Personal accountability matters.

Here is what bothers me most about the MLM industry: the blame-the-victim mentality. When someone fails, they are told they did not work hard enough, did not believe enough, or did not attend enough events. It is never the company fault or the model fault. This is textbook manipulation.

The comparison between MLM failure rates and traditional business failure rates is misleading. When a traditional business fails, the owner usually has assets, inventory, and equipment they can sell. When an MLM distributor fails, they have nothing but overpriced products in their garage.

I was a top earner making $15K per month. I walked away from it 2 years ago because I could not handle the guilt anymore. Watching people I recruited lose money while I profited from their purchases was eating me alive. I now have a regular job and sleep much better at night.

This is a one-sided view. I know plenty of people earning full-time income from their MLM business. They work hard, treat it like a real business, and provide genuine value to their customers. Success IS possible.
