Loving this thread! The EC video is bloody Brilliant!
Just saw a herbalife bot try and recruit the cashier at Halifax, she had a purple bag, badge AND a bright green water bottle. It was amazing. She kept telling him how she was about to start earning massive £££ and had quit her job, he looked very bemused. I would have loved to take a look at her bank account.
Anyway, in the interests of this thread (I used to post in earlier threads but had to nc) I emailed a bot who I saw on fb, I asked her some probing questions and got this response, no names or anything but it just confirms everything you've all been saying:
"I know some people succeed with Forever but there are many that do not unfortunately. The 200£ is a lot, but any other self business is like that, Avon and so on. Your starter pack does come with a lot of products that you can use and take with you on your product launches/parties. However, making money is hard. You have to sell 4 case credit a month to make any decent money and you are told each month you should be buying 1 case credit of products yourself. 1 case credit is over 100£, so unless your business is thriving it is not a wise decision. I did not know you have to pay for training and events, though because of my little one (he was 3 months when I joined) I never went to them and wouldn't pay anyways lol
To be honest, while I love Forever products, I have put more money into it than I have gotten out. Some will probably tell you how great and fantastic is it, but for some it is not. You have to spend a lot of your time online and sponsors, like mine, will expect you to put Forever first, and if you tell them no you are forgotten about. My sponsor mislead me and now I am 200+ out of pocket because I have to keep investing in products (which I have stopped. Really wish I had done what you are doing and messaged people). I know there are many in the same situation as me as we have a private facebook page. I was lead to believe you could build a team and earn off of what they sell right away, only to later be told I needed to be in a manager position for that to happen, that I won't make any money from their sales."
