User is there much different in the aloe purchase pricing between the new distributor and wholesale cost? Looks like that's another big incentive to get every new member to sign up 2 new recruits.

Stand by there's (another) Success Day today

Myusername2015 · 24/10/2015 08:28

All distributors get 30% off on everything you sell then you get an extra 5-18% depending on where you are on the marketing plan....plus adding new people adds to your cc's pushing you up the plan hence the frenzy!

LittleMissStubborn · 24/10/2015 09:17

How then can it be legal when the product is secondary to the recruitment?

It shows also how over priced the products are when so much profit is given 'away'

The company policy (that Cheeky kindly uploaded for us) make is clear that the further up the triangle pyramid you go, the more you have to work to keep all the balls in the air. So a big part of any financial success involves putting on your own training and success days, selling merchandise and always keeping up the somewhat hysterical mad-eyed enthusiasm that is do infectious and stops the doubts and prevents the questions creeping in.

So much for #moretimeformybabies #hatetheninetofive, the reality is very different. And always, lurking in the future, is the knowledge the the balls can fall at any time...

Tiredemma · 24/10/2015 11:54

God I couldnt be arsed with it all really.

Tupperwarelid · 24/10/2015 12:10

Surely most people need to know how much they are getting each month for budgeting purposes not a variable amount depending on what team members do what? Or is that just me?

Tiredemma · 24/10/2015 12:16

no- me too. I need to earn a certain amount every month (as does DP), otherwise we wouldnt be able to pay the bills.

lazycoo · 24/10/2015 13:55

This on my JPbot's page. Not sure of the validity of the comparison! Hmm

I only spend about £450 a month feeding 5 people! £370 a month on crap is not normal, surely?!?

stopfaffing · 24/10/2015 16:41

lazycoo, I don't buy any of that stuff on the left side of the page (except perhaps the ice cream Grin) but the majority of my money is spent on veg, carbs, fruit, proteins plus the usual household stuff. How can it be healthier to buy that artificial stuff on the right of the page?

In fact, I've just made a pan of totally yummy lentil and bacon soup; it truly is to die for and contains nothing artificial and no added salt either (I will freeze portions and use for my lunches for work next week).

mobiusgeek · 24/10/2015 18:29

yawn .. Que shill video.... She forgets to mention if a real buyer comes along she has to move out Hmm It must be quite unnerving knowing that it could all be whipped from underneath you at any point in this game.

Annie65 · 24/10/2015 18:59

Mobius, was just thinking the same thing. She sets her alarm for 7 every morning to listen to some mindset crap. Never heard anything like it. The thing that made me cringe the most was seeing her giving her son a drink of the gel. Hmm

ForeverLivingMyArse · 24/10/2015 19:28

That's awful!

Siwi · 24/10/2015 19:40

Aren't any of you going to add a comment?

kelper · 24/10/2015 19:42

Oo I've got a new bot!! Actifirm!!
You wait for ages and then two come along at once.....
I've been nearly tempted by my youneeek lady a couple of times I must admit.....

acatcalledjohn · 24/10/2015 19:52

FL Bot has planned her charity/Christmas gift idea party and invited me. Hmm

Given that I slated aloe crap when she tried to sell me C9 when I put on a FB status about detoxing, I am quite surprised. Good job she doesn't know I shared it with you lovely ladies!

I might just post another health related status on FB just for the sake of being goady. Do FL make any random claims regarding migraines/headaches?

TarkaDarling · 24/10/2015 20:04

can I join in please?

I've been lurking on these threads, developing a morbid fascination with MLMs and now I have my own FL bot!

She's been at the Success Day and is very excited about her (expenses paid?) luxury accommodation. I'm very much looking forward to hearing about it all on FB...

stopfaffing · 24/10/2015 20:09

I'll just repeat what I said earlier re: Emma's video on fb, this video is necessary to (a) help inspire her current downline to continue to add to their own downline (b) to continue to add more people to her own downline (c) persuade flbots to buy more literature, CDs, organisers (d) encourage flbots to attend her training days (lucrative for her). #keepthoseballsintheairdear

She mentions moving from previous house to this new one but we all know that's not all it seems; it is a temporary business let through fl, not from her - that is deception and she knows it! Angry

She does admit is isn't all "like the Waltons" and can be "pretty manic" and "very hard work". Keeping up the deception is hard work, Emma. You have a fantasy to keep going, you have to keep on expanding your downline; you can never stop, ever because once you stop, it all falls apart.

mamaneedsamojito · 24/10/2015 20:09

I have an acquaintance who invited me to her younique group on FB which I promptly left (mainly because the name irritated me so much) and she's never mentioned it to me again. No inspirational bot-quotes, no spider eyes, not even a single #bossbabe. I feel like I was so near yet so far to having my own bot. Can I share yours?

stopfaffing · 24/10/2015 20:11

Tarka you are lucky having an FLbot! I'm still waiting.... [sigh] and merely live for this thread's updates. Grin

LittleMissStubborn · 24/10/2015 20:23

Tarka they have to pay to go on success days, they are big money spinners for FL. Sadly the members don't seem to realise that the majority of money within a mlm is simply cyclic.

It ends up a dear day, travel there, possible accommodation and ticket plus buying things on sale there.

TarkaDarling · 24/10/2015 20:36

I suspected as much LittleMiss, but her posts make it sound like they're so LUCKY!

lazycoo · 24/10/2015 23:09

I think timeless vie will need to add a comment on Emma cooper's video replete with hashtags.
