Review...

I would never consciously influence anyone to open and operate a Merle Norman Franchise. I lost everything I worked my professional career for, only to have such a company mislead me to buy into their program. Of their supposed 2,000 locations, only a NOMINAL few make any income.

I am not talking about making $100,000+. I am talking about working a major high volume mall positioned well in the mall and a 7 day work week, 70 hours a week, for only $25,000 a year net income.

If you don't believe me, CALL SEVERAL HUNDRED LOCATIONS AND ASK. They have closed more locations over the last 10 years than they can replace. I made the mistake after I lost $250,000. You might as well go to work for McDonalds!

Promotional Offer - Make $1000, $3200, $9705 From Your Home Computer and Talk to No One
