to think I know more Forever Living consultants than people who've bought anything

Honestly. I know about 10 off the top of my head.

Is there that big a market for Aloe Vera?

They all claim to earn a fortune. How does it work?

Am I missing something?

There was another thread a few days back about it being a pyramid scheme type thing. I know a few people doing it too and asking me to join their teams - no thanks!

Glad it's not just me.

Do yours all seem to be sporting new Mulberry handbags too?

I don't sell it, but I do buy it (one product anyway)!

Ive ended up unfollowing some lovely friends on FB since they have signed up to this. Even though all the aloe stuff is supposedly brilliant, both friends seem more interested in recruiting new suckers for their teams. I wish them well but Im not interested in joining and I hate that their FB pages are just adverts now.

I was asked to be a consultant by my cousin's wife. I told her I am not interested in being part of a company that sells a dodgy detox for extortionate cost. It's clearly unethical.

I agree op. Insane.

I was involved with with a similar "networks marketing" type of thing. You certainly won't make a fortune. If you're good at sales, maybe some pocket money, but not more.

It's like the juice plus or herbalife nonsense. No one just seems to use it, they all become consultants or agents or mugs peddling it to everyone they come in contact with.

It's a pyramid scheme. If you look at their website under 'business model' the chart basically shows a pyramid, though it doesn't label it as that

I think it's part of the official 'training' that the 'consultants' are encouraged to project a successful image, hence Mulberry handbags.

That's pretty normal in a Ponzi scheme.

That makes more sense. I seem to be inundated with similar Facebook posts from friends 'loving life' and talking about their 9 day cleanses.

It's not a pyramid scheme but multi-level marketing. It's still dodgy as fuck though and turns its consultants into utter dullards, all spouting the same 'facts' and peddling over-priced crap.

Fake handbags possibly but none of them around here make any money, they are very desperate bless them.

Haha I'm the same, I know 4 people selling and 0 people buying....and 1 has just treated herself to a Mulberry bag!
