That's right cozie. Also the number of women who flit from one MLM to another thinking that it has been their failure rather than the business model for why they have not made even a 2 figure profit let alone six figures. "THIS xxx company is the one that will make my fortune!" they shout all over social media. Friends and relatives groan in frustration as endless invites to "parties" are flung at them, they dip hands into purses to make more pity purchases .

There seem to be more MLMs than there are grains of sand on a beach

I don't pity purchase and I have made my feelings about mlm known to her.

Gah the whole thing is just so fake. I would say she has low self esteem so she is a nice target for this schemey shite.

If any company isn't doing as well as desired, their Sales and Marketing bright sparks might well consider a 'multi-functional' operation on the grounds that it's worked for others. (The Pick 'N Mix strategy of selling. )

You might not purchase, Common, but I fear there are plenty who do - for a time, anyway. I wonder how many Grannies, Aunties. Mums etc etc have wampum in their larders bought to 'help out Dear Ermintrude for XXX reason'?

That's true Cozie.

Could I pm someone about mlm as some info I have could out me and make things very awkward.

Last night an informant told me that her FL bot has seen the light! She thinks her upline is a demanding bugger who has become even more of a pain in the end since Forever moved the goalposts with the CCs a few months ago. She's also admitted to herself that the products she once professed to be mad about aren't really that amaaaaaayzing after all. So, she's knocked Forever Living on the head and is going to focus on her real business, which makes her more than enough money to live off and doesn't involve pestering the life out of all and sundry.

Common sense: 1
Forever Living: 0

Vive la resistance!

Cozie, the thought of having wampum in my larder makes me shudder. Could there be a joke on there somewhere:

Doctor, doctor! I've got wampum in my larder."

Come on mumsnetters - supply the punchline.

PM me if you like commonsense.

A certain well known humble FL bot has posted this little gem. It is incredibly crass even for her .

Also, she crows about teaching people to befriend people and gain their trust in order to exploit them and turn them into 'raving fans' and then to use techniques to double and treble their spend.

My cats please could you give me the general gist of your screenshots, not too clear on my tablet and I really hope the first one doesn't say what I think it does

Keep here is the transcript

"When many people think of September 11th they remember the disaster caused by the falling of the Twin Towers in Manhattan in 2001 - 15 years later this date is now set to bring on another event that could possibly be even more memorable for you and your business success.

As a member of the Powerteam you will know that just twice a year we all get together in the same place at the same time and learn an incredible amount in an extravaganza of an even and our September Masterclass is all set to be the best one yet.

The day is literally packed with practical skills that you can apply instantly that will help you to achieve your personal goals.

• Learn exactly how people are winning new customers every single day.

• Discover ways to turn your "one off customers" into "raving fans".

• Understand techniques to double or triple your customers' orders.

• Meet new FBO's and learn from their experiences.

Bloody hell. I thought it was referencing 9/11 but couldn't quite believe anyone would stoop so low. That is truly awful and upsetting. Does this Muppet actually know what happened. Can they imagine the fear of those people in the planes or in the towers after they'd been hit, in fear of the lives. What the fuck is going on in that idiots head to think there is a link between mass murder and shitty aloe vera. Sorry for the swearing but that is beyond stupid and gross. I'd love to speak with the cretin that wrote that. What a sicko

Had a quick trawl round some of the FL top bots.
They all seem to be actively recruiting abroad, I wonder if they've all been given specific countries to target?
It's very upsetting seeing innocent women being whipped up into an excited state and being sold a dream.

"the falling of the Twin Towers"

I personally remember it as the biggest terrorist atrocity in US history. How it can be linked by date to a FL "September Masterclass" is beyond me.

Incredibly offensive and crass.

Totally shocked and appalled by the 9/11 post. Seriously revolting behaviour.

The 9/11 post is vile. Who in their right mind would use a tragic event as a marketing exercise? Forever Living scores yet another own goal.

I hope this gets picked up by the media - the idiot behind this post needs to apologise to the 9/11 victims, as well as those in her downline.

Is this something she's put on Facebook

And who are these people that want to turn up to an event thats being compared to mass terrorism.

Anything, ANYTHING AT ALL is seen as an opportunity by these hideous people.

And this is a classic example of someone who has lost the plot and probably doesn't see anything wrong with what they've published.

I doubt that that's something that has been copied from 'Head Office' text examples. Nor that it will last long before being taken down.

On a less upsetting subject matter, has anyone seen the corporate bank video? I can't help feel a bit sorry for the girl.

New markets, Sponge.

I have posted here some time back now when I left FL (under a different name). I have been reading all this time and just had to comment when I seen the 9/11 post. Shocked is not even the word. Reaches an entire new level of awful. Glad to be out! Feel embarrassed that I was ever involved. Since leaving my upline x2 have also seen the light (after some gentle prompting from me) and quit and we remained friends! I just slipped away with out any real drama. I do know still from others in the business that a lot of top bots are struggling. The U.K. "Leader" board has changed dramatically and once prominent Bots have fallen completely off the board! Some have also slipped away quietly others now have their claws out and their managers are getting a harder time than ever! It is definitely just a matter of time before the house of cards comes crashing down around them.

Don't be embarrassed - getting out is quite an achievement. Much respect to you.
