Ok has anyone heard of "Ted", The Energy Deal???? Or is it a joke??? A top Fl bot is launching it in October. Quite a few people have filled in a form on line, mainly giving their name and email address. Apparently they will get a better deal if they do this. Its a bit confusing listening to her video, if anyone else can listen to it and understand it better then try explain it to me that would be great. She is still doing Fl though.Confused

googlepoodle · 27/08/2016 13:59

Which top bot is doing it? They all seem to be changing at the minute.

Annie65 · 27/08/2016 14:39

Will pm anyone who wants to know.Smile

Are nail wraps an MLM?

CamelsAndMaus · 27/08/2016 16:09

overthinker - I assume you're talking about Jamberry then yes, I'm afraid so (although there's possibly others out there too)

Overthinker2016 · 27/08/2016 16:21

So to make cash at an MLM do you need to be high up the chain?

darceybussell · 27/08/2016 16:53

Hi Overthinker - yes, to make any profit whatsoever you need to be in the top 1%. All of the stats and the analysis shows that the other 99% all make a loss. A small fraction of that 1% are making lots and lots of money - they are profiting from the losses of everyone underneath them.

Overthinker2016 · 27/08/2016 17:06

Crazy! Don't get why these things seem like a good idea to anyone.

MyCatsHateMLMtoo · 27/08/2016 18:00

I thought I would share these screenshots taken (with permission) from the TimelessVie fb page, of a contract from a FL bot leader.

Overthinker, you're right but if people were presented with the facts and could ask questions and get honest answers then they'd be equipped to weigh up the realities. You'll notice that it's very hard to get any facts about these companies until you've paid up. The output on social media is all about selling the dream and pressing the buttons they know will appeal to their key demographic (women with children); so lots of subliminal and overt messages about flexible working, sack the boss, quick money, sociable working, lifestyle success: private school, time with children. Dissenting voices are quickly deleted. It's only once these people have spent their money on overpriced stock, pillaged their friends and families that they realise the only way is to make any money is to recruit recruit recruit and if they're to succeed in that they must peddle the same lies. Over 90% make no money at all. It's a scandal!!

dylsmimi · 27/08/2016 18:49

What is the opportunity company?
Assume another mlm - the top bot that my bot is under the influence of seems to have swapped there and assume she will take all her ' below lines' ( or whatever they are called) with her. But no one seems to be saying what it is!
I like to be forewarned to the sneaky marketing questions about products!!

cozietoesie · 27/08/2016 18:58

Oh Yes. Another MLM. They're starting up and in the market for existing MLM adherents - attempting to 'hit the ground running' one can only assume.

Tupperwarelid · 27/08/2016 19:08

I don't understand the TED thing either. It sounds like she is starting some massive company with a call centre somewhere and contacts with all the energy firms. Aren't there websites and companies that already do that? It's all very strange

keeptheaspidistra · 27/08/2016 19:27

PM'd you Annie

kamchatka23 · 27/08/2016 19:32

I don't think the promoting of a certain Humblebot and her very swift rise up the ranks of Ariix is going entirely as planned. It seems to have riled up a few lower bots, as they're struggling to get promoted or sell anything. The one I know, who's now defected to Total Life Changes with quite a few of her friends, has made a few vague posts to that effect.

dylsmimi · 27/08/2016 19:34

Thanks cozie my friend had been quiet about all the 'amazing opportunities' 'working from Starbucks' #lovinlife #smashingit so I thought she had come to her senses but now it seems just moving MLMs Sad

Spongebobette · 27/08/2016 19:39

Oh she's now a PRESIDENT I see.

Teddy1970 · 27/08/2016 19:54

My bot has been an "Assistant Supervisor" with FL for 13 months now, and she's still posting what a great life it is and no one likes or replies to her posts....they've really reeled her in haven't they? Annie could you let me know please?

keeptheaspidistra · 27/08/2016 20:38

Aren't you an asisstant supervisor as soon as you hand your £200 over?!?!

Teddy1970 · 27/08/2016 20:42

No you're not keep you are a distributor, you only become AS when you do 4cc, not sure if that includes recruiting someone though?

ForeverYazoonique · 27/08/2016 20:43

More or less aspidistra

BSintolerant · 27/08/2016 21:18

I once spent an entire afternoon lifting up my balls and then dropping them down again onto a dead frog; according to FLP, if I had made up a certificate for this strange practice, it would have been scientific!

Very entertaining. Grin

BSintolerant · 27/08/2016 21:44

Aloe vera products take an awful lot of supervision - they're so damned naughty. The minute your back's turned they sneak out of that cardboard box before going on the rampage looking for bottles of Yazoo to rough up.

Assistant supervisor my arse!

keeptheaspidistra · 27/08/2016 22:17

Oh my goodness BS, I think The C#$% is my soulmate.
Both articles hit the nail on the pyramid head.

AbigailHorne · 27/08/2016 22:22

Just to clear up any confusion for you, apologies my video was confusing, I think it's my Stokey accent (awful I know) T.E.D is just a new energy company coming to market in October. No different than npower, Scottish power etc in terms of structure and not an mlm. (So you may need an energy company debate thread if its just about dislike for me) it will create lots of "normal" jobs in the UK, I really care about you non bots as well:) People are registering early interest, that's all. It's so I can guage staffing levels required. Just standard company procedure to announce your "coming soon". You will be able to pop your postcodes In mid Oct to see how much money I can save you.... Or don't, I don't mind if you don't want to save money. So just a normal gas and electricity company because that is my background and a personal goal for me and my family - named after my son and my grandad. I wish it were more exciting but I'm afraid it's not. You can save any mean remarks this evening though if you don't mind, I'm poorly today:( been throwing up for 24 hours - I'm sure you mums will feel my pain, it's tough with a little one climbing all over you. Enjoy the rest of your evenings while I snuggle back under my duvet feeling sorry for myself. Xx
