<prompt> Human: Party companies are any company that hosts a party in someones house to sell stuff. IMO it is the new age door to door salesman. This includes Tupperware, Norwex, Dottera, and Longenberger. Ive seen these businesses target young women specifically to bring them on as consultants. Then the consultant basically lose money because they have to sell or buy a set amount of product. While Im sure there are the couple of successful business people that are out there they are few and far between. Im trying to talk my wife out of getting involved with another company like this. Ive seen my mom, aunts, and even my wife sell stuff and never look at the fact they arent making solid money from it. heck usually they spend as much as there customers... Any advise, stories or anything to help her reconsider would be great thanks. Guys  <response>: Its not a Party company. Its an MLM. As you seem to be aware, theyre well-known scams. Head over to rantimlm for all the gory details of how these work, and tips on how to talk her out of it.
