Shaklee Memories

I remember getting invited to a Shaklee meeting when I was 17. They did the whole show: nice house, two brand new Mercedes in the driveway, attractive woman presenter. It took me a while to understand what the hell they were saying. So you sell product to people AND you try to get them to sell for you, too. WTF?

I was impressed with all the shiny people, shiny products, and the presenter’s low cut blouse–hey, I was 17. AND they gave me a cool binder to keep track of sales, but I didn’t sign up. Later some guy came to my parent’s house to close me. He was a rocker dude in an old beat-up car. Where’s the hot lady and the Mercedes?

I declined. Probably could have been rich.
