Be Careful Of Defamation

Claiming false facts about any mlm or direct sales company is never a good thing. Most likely it will land you in jail or in some court case instead. While I was never shy about my experience with my company, I never named them and neither will I ever intend to. Many mlm’s have a small print claim where they actively forbid you the distributor to talk shop, even after you left their "employ".
This is largely to cover their bums, but also our own since otherwise people would throw allegations left right and centre and many of them mightn’t be true.
As you can imagine, this could potentially hurt a company real bad and cost them thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Therefore never publicly abuse a company unless you can back it up with facts. Even then I’d be very careful as there are a lot of gray zones I believe.
To further help you understand what could happen, read the story about the mlm firm who was found to have defamed a rival. As you can see, this kind of behaviour has landed this company in court and they might end up having to pay some $8 million if the claim gets awarded.
Just imagine if that was you who had to bite the bullet. Be very careful what you say if you ever present on stage at an opportunity gathering. Never defame a rival company, as this could easily bite you in the bum. On the contrary, if you are an opportunity seeker and you see this type of behaviour, report it to officials.
Defamation will have to be stopped if we want people to make informed choices based on the valuable and honest information.
Let us know if you have ever seen something like this before or were made to use this practice in your company.
