How do you diplomatically tell a friend that you’re not interested in their MLM?
We've all been there. Your friend is excited, elated, even zealous about the new “opportunity” they found out about. Who wouldn't be excited. They're going to be rich next year!!
No amount of reason or logic can convince them otherwise because they’ve been thoroughly indoctrinated. They believe that anybody that doesn't or can't “see the light” is a negative person who is just “hating on them” and their dreams.
In all honesty, you don't want to rain on their parade. Who's to say that they won't be driving a pink cadillac courtesy of Mary Kay? But chances are trim and you know the game. You know where they’re because you have been there, done that. I have dabbled with Amway, Pre-paid legal, Excel, Ignite and each other network marketing scheme… when I was young and gullible. Now I am a bit more savvy and only take advantage of those opportunities that seem more are viable based upon my experience having tried every get rich scheme.
You can't tell them it won't work. and you can't explain why you want become a member - 'cause they ain't hearing it. What do you do and keep them from being too disgusted with you? they think either:
1. You are a ne'er do well
2. You secretly hate to see them do well
The answer is neither - you just know the game and how goes and how it'll more than likely unfold. You want to warn 'em but you can't because let's face it - some work. Ask any Insurance agent who has built an organization under him/her.

Answer:
“It's out of alignment with my mission and destiny in life, but I sure hope it works for you.”
“I'm committed to pursuing a different career path, but I wish you all the ideal.”
“I'm opposed to the entire concept of multi-level marketing and could never participate in any such thing, but if it suits you, I wish all the best.”
“I'm so very happy with the career path I'm on that I have no desire to disrupt my fast-track here.”
“I'm embarking on a fabulous new venture myself, and it's going to take all my free time. Good luck with your venture, hope you do well.”
That should cover a lot of potential territories, or give you enough ideas to generate one of your own.
Answer:
Instead of raining on their parade, simply say, “I am glad you are so happy, but I am not interested in participating in that or any other MLM.” If they persist and don't take a simple no, then you can pull out all the stops and rain on their parade.
Answer:
Just tell them you were a part of the 'Same' MLM business with another 'Very Successful' group but you failed. So, you are not sure if you'd succeed this time around…”you know, I'm not made for these MLM kinds of things etc etc…”
