I've seen my bot is going on an all expenses paid for cruise next year?

Twunk · 23/04/2016 09:34

This is one big PR exercise for FL. The big cheques are so the down lines can think "oh that'll be me next year with the big bonus!" Ditto with the holidays. In reality these are the people near the top of a 9-million (allegedly) person pyramid.

crumpetsfortea37 · 23/04/2016 10:08

Agreed twunk. The top salespeople in large non-MLM companies would expect and get much better "jollies" bonuses and all expenses trips than this.
After all they are earning the companies shed loads of money.
If these top bots had any sense they would put their undoubted talents to better paying use.

Me thinks someone forgot to take their meds today.... 😳😐🤔

Melaw21 · 23/04/2016 11:17

Funny how its always the same few uk faces getting the large sum giant cheques huh? And they are the ones who bang on about the wonderful 5* accomodation that has been laid on by the amaazingly generous leader etc, hot air balloons, vip treatment and helicopters etc. Yet again its the very very small handful, getting rich at the expense of those who they know never will, nice.

What a catch of a guy. Such a pity I am married.
Hmm
My Ariix bot posted a pic of her childs birthday party yesterday with not so subtly placed with name obscured Ariix products. Her dc are so healthy now because of their capsules apparently. They eat nothing but processed crap so the only way is up really.

cozietoesie · 23/04/2016 11:25

The organisation has to prop up the seeming big-hitters, Melaw. It's always the way, sadly.

cozietoesie · 23/04/2016 12:34

After all - and leaving aside the PR value of the Big Cheques - imagine how it would go down with the troops and new prospects if a Stratospheric One left. Loudly. Wink

bearbehind · 23/04/2016 13:14

The trouble is, the stratospheric ones won't leave though. Getting a cheque for £100k+ is a pretty big incentive to carry on.

Having said that, when it's cost you probably £20k+ you and your family to attend the rally and you pay your 40% tax if you bother the remaining amount, whilst nice, ain't going to keep you in the manner to which you have become accustomed to pretending you live.

I still don't get where all this money comes from though. Their products are shite so, even with the huge mark up, they can't sell the volumes required to pay out millions of dollars just in bonuses can they?

If the Chairmanship bonus is a tiny proportion of their total profit the numbers just don't stack up.

Do they really get paid the full value on the cheques, with no strings attached?

kamchatka23 · 23/04/2016 13:29

I'm sure I heard the big cheques were just a projected bonus if they continued to perform at the level they are at at the moment. I could be wrong though.

DollyTwat · 23/04/2016 13:36

I guess the thing to work out is how much an employer pays out per employee. So pension, medical perks, subsidised canteen, premises etc. It's probably a lot and that's what Forever et al don't have to pay.

notyourfanboy · 23/04/2016 13:41

The cheques are real - no string attached - flights and accommodation paid for - credit cards are real. Unless you can prove otherwise?

Melaw21 · 23/04/2016 13:46

Hey not welcome, are you in joburg currently then? Did you get a cheque? 😊

Melaw21 · 23/04/2016 13:47

I meant 'welcome' 😉

notyourfanboy · 23/04/2016 13:49

Yep in Joburg - first time a cheque - money's in the bank - Thank you to a wonderful and gracious company!

Melaw21 · 23/04/2016 13:50

Thats good for you, who much did you get? Do you have a pic?

Melaw21 · 23/04/2016 13:51

Also, did fl cover all of your expenses for the entire trip then?

bearbehind · 23/04/2016 13:52

I can certainly prove you only get 2 flights per the FL website therefore additional flights have been paid for.

Likewise, the class of travel and duration of stay you win is based on your qualification level and is published therefore if you did not qualify for business class travel but travelled using it, you must have paid to upgrade yourself and if you stayed for much longer than the rally in a posh hotel, you paid for that yourself too.

cozietoesie · 23/04/2016 13:54

I still have the question. Where does the money come from - and at what individual cost?

notyourfanboy · 23/04/2016 13:55

I would like to protect my identity so I will not reveal any details but suffice to say that I am very happy at the moment - though my cheque amount was modest - just under $15k - we are all having a great time enjoying the wonderful things Forever have provided for us!

cozietoesie · 23/04/2016 13:56

Has anybody got the link to the current MLM 'campaigns' in the 'less developed markets'? (I'm thinking of some of the African countries in particular.)

notyourfanboy · 23/04/2016 13:58

The hotel is paid for - economy premium flights paid for - errr food $650 allowance in card - nothing came out of my pocket here - plus I got my cheque -,so I am very happy!
