I seem to recall that people benefit personally from signing up others though, Cubic.

And then there's the very dodgy firm flogging FL Wills so that you can leave your ongoing CC requirements to your kids...

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:01

my mum actually joined and then decided 2 weeks later she couldn't be bothered! She never recruited anyone so it's slightly different but if she had and they had built a huge business it wouldn't have given my mum any payment or incentives if she hadn't been working so the relatives may well be working the business but not as obviously on social media maybe? I'm not sure how else that would even be worth it. Not in our company at least

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:03

By choice if you need one, I had to as the earnings went up but you can do it yourself if you know what your doing.... I didn't! Lol

Did your mum joining boost your CC's That month Natasha?

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:05

I have a will, I can say it's genuine. There are requirements if your business still requires you to be active to be paid but I nominated my upline to do that.

workingwithchimps · 23/02/2016 19:06

Fast - I don't live in a castle - why you would level this at me I really don't know - thought you were here to get answer ms not play Cluedo?

fastdaytears · 23/02/2016 19:06

If it's from the company that FL push then you and I (and the SRA) may not agree on how useful the Will is.
Hopefully it's not though

Fast - do you have proof of any dodgy firm ms selling Wills - are you prepared to name them? Simple question please don't take all night to answer ....

FLhahaha · 23/02/2016 19:09

Natasha thank you for coming on and for your calm replies :). Please could you explain how you keep track of all your down lines and their down lines etc? Do you use FLP 360, excel, or good old pen and paper? How on earth do you manage?

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:09

Yes when you recruit you receive 2cc and so does your recruit.

cozietoesie · 23/02/2016 19:09

Thanks for that list, Cubic. I fear, though, that my question was directed more to establishing what support the MLMs provide to people rather than what those people may need to do as individuals.

fastdaytears · 23/02/2016 19:09

Chimp why would I take all night! We did the Will thing on an earlier thread if you want to look. I don't remember the name now but there are tons of screenshot. Notably none of their authorisation!

workingwithchimps · 23/02/2016 19:10

You see will me all can have a point of view with many things - what works for you may not work for me - does not mean that I am right or you wrong - just out of interest has anybody here championed any other causes on behalf of the masses?

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:10

I can't speak for all MLM companies but from my experience I have been offered lots of support from the company directly, our head office work hard to ensure we get the support we need.

Quinoa20 · 23/02/2016 19:10

I'm not a bot but I run a business from Home and I pay an accountant as like barnbot it gives me a headache so I don't see anything to criticise there tbh.

I sorted my own will privately with a solicitor - cost about £120 3 years ago.

Now that would be unfortunate.

workingwithchimps · 23/02/2016 19:12

Fast - what was the conclusion to all the screen shots and posts - did it uncover any irregularities - we don't use will services it has been mentioned - but not as yet

NatashaBarnBotShingles · 23/02/2016 19:17

I accept other people's opinions and I think we would all be boring if we all agreed!! Lol. I have myself been against MLM from an experience with a well known company years ago and swore I'd never do it again, so I do understand the concern. I use flp360 but I am useless with technology so I don't use it much! Good old pen and paper work best for me! I've broken many manager teams now so they take more of an active roll supporting their teams and people just come to me if they need me. I generally keep track of everyone as best I can and my upline are incredible and let me know if I missed anyone that may need my help
