The numbers are simple, even though MK won't release them because it would show what an awful "opportunity" they're offering. At this not-so-free car level cited in the article, women are making about $20,000 a year. I've had plenty of women produce their numbers for me, and there is also a simple formula to calculate this. A this level, the car driver's team must order $96,000 wholesale from the company per year. At an average commission rate of 20% (which is actually quite generous, as often they're getting less than that), that would total $19,200 commissions per year. Some at this car level are making a bit more, but most are barely squeaking by with the minimum ordering needed. Sad, but true. And with women at this level easily putting in 50 hours a week or more, they're making a whopping $7.38 per hour at this awesome job. Yes, Peter, I know exactly how much she is making.

Which is to say, you haven't the *slightest* clue what she's actually pulling down. Seriously, Ms Coenen, stop blowing smoke and start citing facts. MLM is a scam and it deserves to be fully understood by EVERYONE exposed to it but your vaguely nebulous, yet thoroughly VENOMOUS handwavium is even more despicable than the unobtanium peddled by the MLM hucksters. Numbers please? You /claim/ to be a forensic accountant but you, in another article express that as effectively as a high school sophomore. Master the English Language, learn to count past ten without pulling off your shoes THEN feel free to come back once you've mastered the basic skill set. Meantimes, save the spite for your own inadequacies.
