That video is brilliant! Well done to whoever made it.

My bot has a poorly child. Luckily she has a flexible business that means she can be there for them. This would be the same child she posts videos of it knocking back the 'Bits and Peaches' aloe shit Could it be that it doesn't actually work? Confused

About the 1cc you have to order and use yourself, how do they know if you do? I mean, can't you just sell it to someone else? You'd be swamped with the stuff otherwise.

PowerofThree · 27/01/2016 22:11

last unfortunately, the number of days in Jo'burg may not be a lie. Another bot (can't remember which but think I got to them via EC's brother talking about the party) posted several emails which seemed to imply she had qualified for x number of days as a 2.5k qualifier and y days as a Chairman's bonus qualifier. So it looks like they can qualify in more than one way and maybe then add the days together?

rayofhope · 27/01/2016 22:16

assemble they don't care if you sell it or not they've already got your money as long as 1cc goes through your ID no it doesn't matter if you use it or sell it to your customer.

penny that's so funny!!!

In some 'Networks,' Ambots used to be subjected to spot searches by 'Upline'. If negative products were found in their homes instead of positive 'Amway' versions, they had to take them outside and incinerate them in front of 'Upline,' just like naughty children.

My brother (an Ambot) moved into my mother's home. She was reduced to keeping her favourite liquid detergent locked in the boot of her car, and only using it when my brother was out. A friend told me that my mother used to pour the 'Amway' detergent down the sink to make my brother believe she was using it.

I feel like I'm at a pantomime, reading some of these things. 'Oh no she hasn't!'

Love the EC vimeo. good work

I'm intrigued by this thread. I have a family member (keeping deliberately vague) who does Arbonne. They have been doing it about two years now and seem to have really embrace the whole 'positive thinking' hoo ha often sharing glamorous pics and 'inspirational' messages. At first I admit being a bit jealous, them getting to live the glamorous life etc but over the years I have come to realise it is all a front. Initially i did hold a few parties for them and buy things but the prices were silly. Ice now started to detach myself from it as I find the hard sell I faced at parties and even just casual meet ups with this family member hard to stomach.
This family member and other arbonne sellers I met seemed genuinely amazed I had no desire to give up my-- secure and fairly well paid job to sell ridiculously expensive but not as good as Avon-- make up. As soon as they established this I saw a visible cooling towards me, even from my family member. I was even made to feel like a bad mum for not wanting to give up work and become self employed.

Do they actually believe the stuff they spout?

Shows daily schedule (and fact that it's a 4 night 'holiday' if you want forever to pay for the flights for most bots joining - the over 1.5k qualifiers.

Bit confused about how the safaris say the 1.5k qualifiers can go on some of them, but onviously not enough time. Maybe bots can take an earlier flight? BA economy Flights are included (bots choose from specific dates, so can't just extend their stay by 2 weeks for e.g)

Where is the new thats been made that everyone keeps talking about!?? Waaahhh

Archduke · 28/01/2016 08:18

Can you tell me a bit more about Arbonne? It's hit the area I live in a BIG way, I went to an Arbonne party and was surrounded by glazed eyed women cooing over blushers.

So is Arbonne some horrendous pyramid cult? The women I know who sell it are certainly evangelical about the whole thing.

LastAnni · 28/01/2016 08:20

Just place marking new thread. Keep up the good work: such fascinating reading!

rayofhope · 28/01/2016 08:22

archduke Arbonne is exactly the same just different products, been around since the mid 70's too

Jord12 · 28/01/2016 08:32

I feel sorry for a particular guys that they are bringing his name through the mud just because his moved companies

Jord12 · 28/01/2016 08:33

It's been refreshing reading your views and stories . The experiences I've had with this company the last 6 months haven't been great at all

rayofhope · 28/01/2016 08:38

jord theyre trying to discredit him so that anyone in his old team doesn't jump ship with him

1gorgeousson · 28/01/2016 08:41

I love this thread Grin.

Eyespying · 28/01/2016 08:43

'Arbonne' is yet another blame the victim 'MLM income opportunity' cultic racket. The deluded adherents constantly repeat certain key-words and they are programmed to 'duplicate exactly a step-by-step plan to achieve total financial freedom.' 'Arbonne' adherents are both victims of fraud and perpetrators of the same fraud.

Anyone claiming or implying that it is possible to generate and overall net-income from the so-called 'Arbonne income opportunity,' is not telling the truth, but 'Arbonne' recruiters are totally convinced that they are telling the truth.

Eyespying · 28/01/2016 08:53

Archduke 'So is Arbonne some horrendous pyramid cult?'

Please go to the other thread and take a look at the summary of 'Cults in Our Midst' which I posted yesterday for Jazmine25.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/legal_money_matters/2446930-FL-MLM-Thread-3?pg=25

Totalistic Cults are identified by certain universal characteristics, and groups like 'FLP', 'Arbonne', 'Amway', 'Herbalife', etc. tick all the boxes.

Cloppysow · 28/01/2016 08:59

One of my friends posted a link to a joint on line FL launch with her fantastic mentor.
I'm so upset for this woman. She is a single mum on the bones of her arse after long term illness. Theres nowt i can do really is there?

Eyespying · 28/01/2016 09:05

Cloppysow Hopefully your friend won't last too long in 'FLP,' because she can't afford to play the 'MLM' game of make-believe.

The only thing you can do, is tell her that you will always be there for her when she needs you, and that her new friends in 'FLP' will only be there for her, so as she keeps handing over her time and money.
