One thing I noticed, at least in Utah, is that when guys comes off their mission their first job often ends up being some kind of commission based, MLM type sales job.
I did. Within a month of returning from my mission I got sucked into TRYING to sell food storage. After that failed miserably I went from that to selling Cutco knives until I finally realized, that, just because I went on a mission doesn't mean I will be good at sales, and that, not only am I sick of harassing friends and family for "leads" but with all the extra costs and the amount of time I put into it, I'm not even making min wage.
A lot of other recent RM's my age were doing the same thing. One was selling Nonu, another was selling insurance, another, some type of newspaper ad thing, another Book of Mormon cartoon videos, and so forth.
Have you guys noticed the same thing? What were the "products" that you saw recent RM's selling?
