Still 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 an MLM bot of your own then join us and share their claims and content.

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

And don't forget our very own MN MLM Timeless Vie!

My bot wants to know who is joining her on a 30 day detox to 'create an alkaline environment for optimum health'

darceybussell, I'd be tempted to reply with this link scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/03/24/dont-believe-the-hype-10-persistent-cancer-myths-debunked/#acidic-diets

You can't change the pH balance of your body through diet.

My first thought was 'Duracell Bunny'.

My 'Global Bullshit Coach' is churning out the entrepreneur memes, today. Half a dozen, already, this morning. Amazing.

I just nearly joined my local business networking group but spotted that the organiser has 'passionate about Forever Living' in her Twitter bio and a feed full of faux 'inspirational' crap. This network is promoted by my local council too

That jobseekers thing - is it real? Is it o my available to people on jobseekers?

It'll probably be the most they'll ever earn!

LOVING Helen Moore - the selfie with the big issue seller has made my week!

Wow fastday, you'd have thought they could be struck off for that, that's horrifying!

CheekySmile · 04/01/2016 13:53

Ahhh hahahahahaha! I've just watched the video Sminky linked to yesterday! Wow, it's awful!

I do love that he stands in front of the board that says Forever Living Scam on it for a while!

He doesn't say anything, it's dark and awfully edited. Briliant!

I need to watch that video when hub goes to work, he thinks I'm mad enough as it is don't want to uncontrollably laugh too much.

Glad you're loving Helen darcey! I also love the hidden amount on the cheque- wonder if it was for £15.59!!!! (Gives up all viable income prospects to sign up!!)

  • Your boss? Why would you give so much power to someone YOU'RE helping grow and get richer?

Has anyone pointed out to her that the reason she is doing this is to get more ants legs and therefore make her richer?

A few people have been mentioning the car plan and wondering what it is and how FLbots get these cars. I have done a little digging in the FL handbook and have done some sums. This is how it works-

It is called the Earned Incentive Plan and is a monthly payment given to bots to put towards a purchase or lease of a car, house or boat. These payments are for a maximum of 36 months and are dependent on maintaining sales targets. Here are the numbers-

Level one- the bot and their team (non-managers) have to sell £63,600 of stock over three months. After these three months, they have to bring in £31800 a month. Once this is achieved the bot will receive £262 a month if the sales continue at this rate.

What's that you say? You think you and your team can easily achieve that? Then try and achieve level three.

This involves you and your team bringing in £127,200 over three months. Then you will need to bring in £63,500 a month to continue qualifying for the incentive plan. The incentive at this level is... Drum roll.... £525 a month.

Once bots reach this level they will be in very deep. If they get a car on lease, they will then be dependent on keeping up the sales levels otherwise they won't be able to afford the contract they've presumably taken out with a car company.

I have simplified the maths a little bit for these illustrations as the way the team CCs are calculated is ridiculously complicated. A bot would have no idea each month if they were going to achieve their target.
