love the fact they are very careful to never make a pyramid out of people!

Might distributors who are allegedly a 'going concern' also offload stock there for close to retail price in order to plump their status etc?

I think that Ariix is perfectly aimed at setting up your business strategically.
For those that understand how it works I can see why it's so appealing - however I think they're all going to get royally shafted with it.
Thank you for the explanation of the way they shift the down lines around. It's exhausting just trying to work it out!

Mootpointer after some investigation I can confirm that there are several option for a collective group of Bots.

  • gestalt of bots
  • matrix of bots
  • borg of bots
  • drove of bots.

There is not a definitive noun

sizzle of bots?

Motorheadmum · 04/02/2016 20:42

Arbonne watch gumtree, eBay etc for stock being sold. I remember a subtle threat of losing your business if you were caught doing it..

I've got that horrible under-nose irritation that comes with a bad cold so dug out this guilt purchase from the FL launch of a friend (who quickly saw the light thankfully). Anyway now my poor face REALLY stings. Back to Vaseline...
Looking back to that launch, I remember doing a lot of eye-rolling at the crap packaging and wild medical claims. However , if I'm honest I think if the products had been packaged in a cooler, more upmarket way, I would have pushed the misgivings about the hard sell to the back of my mind.
Still, I'll never forget my astonishment at ringing my lovely friend's doorbell only to be greeted by her gimlet-eyed up line who proceeded to act as if she owned the place for the entire evening. My friend sat next to her looking rather embarrassed

Business Sellers on eBay should have their contact details on the listing if I recall and some of those listing FL on eBay were Business Sellers. Otherwise, you'd be given the name and address of the seller and their email on purchase. I assume that someone in the organisation has info on actual names.

Motorheadmum · 04/02/2016 21:00

cubic not sure how they would be able to find out, I know gumtree has a bit more info on where you are. I never heard of anyone being 'caught' but you were told this a lot. It's probably a bit of a myth to make you feel even under more pressure

Just saw on a recently mentioned Bot's page (RD) that, despite Forever being amazing and with you for life, she is "putting" it on the back burner for the moment in order to "simplify her life". Hmmm....Smile
