Question
What should I ask before buying MLM inventory?
What to do next:
- Confirm you have real customers before buying any product.
- Get the return deadline and refund percentage in writing.
- Avoid buying inventory just to qualify for rank or compensation.
Why this matters
Inventory that remains unsold is money spent, not profit.
If product purchases affect rank or compensation, ask whether the purchase is based on customer demand or qualification pressure.
