I was suckered into a Shaklee deal four years ago by a friend, I paid my fees, and never sold a thing. The key is whether you are or can fake being an extreme extrovert.

Is Mary Kay different? (Shaklee had no visible support for "repre- senatives"). What about quality of product? If you e-mail (Mary Kay experiences only) I will post a synopsis to the net.

Blind faith in your >product is also important. Shaklee is not the same as Amway. I was an Amway distributor for a year nine or ten years ago. I quit because I was going to go off to school and it wasn't really for me anyway. I never felt "suckered" by anyone -- if you are good at meeting people and are a good salesperson then Amway is a great opportunity. The products are pretty good (tho a bit expensive), and they give a money-back guarentee, even on the starter kit fees. Stew
