Continuing the discussion of the various network marketing schemes or multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs) that people we know are involved in.

If you have a bot of your own then join us and share what they are saying!

Or if you are researching a company before signing up to be a network marketer please take a look at the previous bot watch thread and also this thread which delves deeper into the workings of MLMs.

Livin, I think your bot's pic with the days of the week just shows that they have realised the folly of MLM, and have started working as a Dominatrix.

Can I join in? Motivational picture stolen from a BOT duly attached...

if you hang out with TV bird, you're going to laugh and not get scammed

Checking in for the updates! Been prepping room for plastering (23:20 and finally in a bath, got to be up at bloody 6:30 too Angry) Will be back up and active from Sunday.

Excellent work on the TV website, last. Thanks for the new thread, cheeky. And welcome to all new bot-watchers!

Long time lurker of these threads ... My fl bot is off to Vegas for go pro 2016 or something.... I'd post you her pic but it has her ( very identifiable ) name splashed across it..
I won a toothpaste last week from a new fl bot - do I really have to cost my teeth in it so I look like a swamp monster?

sparkly72 · 12/11/2015 23:34

Or even coat

acatcalledjohn · 12/11/2015 23:38

Really, FB? You suggest I like this?

This dude looks a bit like the womanising twat from Nip/Tuck.

acat in my early morning haze I tried to click on the comments. Didn't work! Is it all people saying "OMG I need to see this" or "what a massive amount of bollocks"?

xenu1 · 13/11/2015 09:11

Hi. Another YouTube video on FL. "PUPP"

I have braved it and summarise it for y'all. "How to get the IBOs to load up on stock." All distributors should do 4CC per month to be Active (9mins 20secs) The next slides emphasise personal use to get these 4CCs and encourage your downline likewise. Once you have 6 on 4CC per month = supervisor and 15 = manager. "This is the secret, this is simple, this is forever" at 13mins we have the breakdown. Wholesale 1 CC= 140, 4 = $560. It states to be active so distributors MUST make 4CC - that is spend $560 per month on FL products just to be active!

So how do you use $560pm of wholesale aloe vera? By using the PUPP (Personal use Product Package: aka a grab-bag of FL stuff to pass to prospects... 18mins in)
At 21mins our hero Jayne Leach promotes the PUPP bag. Of course its a way to get distributors to buy FL stuff...
at 25mins you have to buy 25 lip balms as free giveaways.
at 31.55 you close the deal "expect the sale and the sale will happen!" its that's simple (apparently- ask for friends "which product will you buy~?

Then I gave up (there's another 30mins I think)

p.s. official info at: www.businesswithforeverliving.com/compensation-plan.php
You will find the 4CC per month buried there as well. So the FL intro should be: "Please join our organisation. Please note that you will be expected to buy $6720 of our products each year, plus costs of training group meetings

cakeisntforsharing · 13/11/2015 09:24

acat I keep getting adverts from that guy too!

My bots have been quiet lately, a few are doing some kind of Christmas promotion where if you buy a load of products you get a free soap or something. None of their posts get a single like or comment.

xenu Thanks for posting that - fascinating stuff!

SocksRock · 13/11/2015 09:32

I think they get 1CC for signing up someone to FL - which is much easier than flogging hundreds of pounds of aloe shit, hence the recruitment pressure. If you used 1CC for personal use (cannot possibly imagine how you would get through that much aloe), got one recruit and one person to do the Clean 9, that's 3CC straight away

cakeisntforsharing · 13/11/2015 09:35

acat I've looked at the comments and it is indeed loads of people going 'This is amazing for our mindsets' and 'hun this would be amazing to help you start your new journey'.

acatcalledjohn · 13/11/2015 09:40

Me too. It's not mindset at all. It's brainwashing at its finest. I have some screen dumps but think I ought to hide the names before posting.

Reminds me of Warren Jeffs (FLDS) who was a trained brainwasher.

acatcalledjohn · 13/11/2015 09:45

Just a selection...

The love for this dude is astounding.

How do the arbots keep in business? The products are too expensive for most normal people to buy regularly.

CheekySmile · 13/11/2015 10:00

Socks It's 2CC for recruiting someone with FL!

So 1 recruit, 1CC purchased for yourself and 1CC sold (or another recruit) and you've made your 4CC to be active.

The incentive is always to recruit rather than to sell!
