Previous thread here

Will follow up with links shortly. In the meantime this is especially for spongebobette

Thank you for posting that, Toobusy. Good article. ( And I see you had much input from ex-adherents in the writing of it?)

toobusy you are ace

Toobusy, that article is your best yet imo. I hope scousestokebot reads it, it will help him untangle himself from MLM.

If I contacted some of these Global Business Coaches and asked them to mentor me on how to take my non-MLM business global, I wonder what they'd say?! Would they be able to come up with a coherent business plan?

Of course they would lasagne!! They are Global business coaches and six figure income creators!

First thing they'd tell you .. make a list of everyone you know

I gather that it's a piece of cake after that.

Good point lasagnefortea. I'd love to see these "international business coaches" , "Global business coaches" , "mentors", "developer of 6 and 7 figure income earners", "six figure income creator", "entrepreneur" & so on & on, the BS titles they give themselves is laughable. I've said before on these threads, put these people on a stage infront of REAL business owners, real people who hire employees and pay them an hourly rate, & they would be laughed out of the room. All they can offer is how to dupe people into handing them over money and making them think there now entrepreneurs, and in turn they have to dupe more people, and on and on and on ,untill the world implodes on itself. I have friends who have their own buinesses, they dont spend all day uploading inspirational mems on facebbok all day and all weekend,and talk about how their "smashing it" and its sooooo good to work from home. They can only go up on a stage with people of their own kind,thats it,they have noting, NOTING to offer anyone whos not in MLM's- "international buiness coaches" my hole!!!!

Need a Dannii live where she "pops" one of her team on too

Just watched some of salon bots latest live.

Must catch up on Salonbot's activity. Seen a few posts from other toppish bots pointedly talking about how unethical it is to Photoshop one's 'before & after ' pictures. WHO COULD THEY BE REFERING TO?????

Surely not salon bot?!!? She's so genuine and real

'Unethical'?

I read a criticism of these 'business coaches' by a real business coach. They said that MLM business coaches recruit coaches to recruit coaches to recruit coaches....

Well if MLMs are not real 'businesses' then how can a 'MLM coach' be a real coach?

Sorry. A 'real business coach'.

When my daughter started school, I was targeted by an aloe bot. I didn't know about MLM, I'd never heard of it (having had a boring J.O.B. all my adult life) my whole life. Anyway, I bought a C9 and a couple of bottles of tablets, but I didn't feel any benefit from the products, plus they were madly expensive so it wasn't something I was prepared to keep buying. Anyway, a friend who is far less naive than I was told me all about it being a massive scam and I felt a right mug for having been conned into it to the tune of around £140 and I deleted the bot from my Facebook and distanced myself from the Bot Clan.

The reason I got sucked in is that when my daughter started school, I didn't really know any other mums and I felt like they were genuinely interested in me as they were being SO friendly and charming. I make sure I pre-warn any people starting at the school about the bots that lie in wait for fresh blood!

Don't feel like a 'mug'. There are some powerful forces being used by adherents and you simply didn't know what you were up against.

It could have been much much worse -,just read some of the heart-rending stories in botwatchblog and Timeless Vie.

Well done your friend, eh?

I dont think alot of people have heard of a MLM,not until you get your own bot on facebook, and then you look at what their doing and you think ummmm how odd,then you do your own little google search. Thats how i found out what an MLM was. Of course I did think pyramid scheme before i did my google search, but huns pyramid schemes are illegal , MLM's are "reverse funnel's" dont ya know

Sorry. .....powerful techniques......that should have been.

Just so, Sponge. If you haven't heard of them - well........you haven't heard of them.

Just so, Sean.

I clearly need .

Please can someone pm me details of SalonBot. I feel like I've missed out recently.

Good point above about all the "I'll pm you hun'ing in response to price Qs. I presume it's because the prices are just so outlandish. Does anyone know why NuSkin bots also go to great pains to obscure the NuSkin etc labels on their product pics? It's so obvious what they are.

Sadly, my NuSkin bot is genuinely trained in PR and marketing and, I fear, is probably doing quite well. She doesn't rely too heavily on stock photos, she's relentless at promoting the 'lifestyle'. And she's clever enough to continue working a real job alongside. I have caught her using photos from actual cosmetic surgery though - probably that galvanic spa face iron thing, I can't remember.

I haven't checked in on stokecoffeebot recently. Is he really dropping the mlms?

I have not laughed so hard in AGES

Schitts Creek (on Netflix with Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara) did a send-up of MLMs.

Their creation is 'Allez-Vous'.

spoiler they discover that everyone else in the town is also plugging the stuff and so have noone to sell to. It is genuinely hilarious.

Domestic

If you just give the prices out then people can make a 'hard' decision about whether they want them enough to pay that money - they almost certainly won't respond to you. You need to 'soften' them by getting into a conversation - preferably a 121 in real life so that you can accompany the product with some...........sparkle. (I.e. Persuade them into buying/participating by social manoeuvring.)

Giving out prices by themselves is going to be fatal to your 'business'.

Morning all, thanks for the pm's!

Can someone pm me who Salonbot is? I feel a bit lost now Scousestokebot has gone all normal and left mlms!

Anyone else worth following?

That had me laughing!!! Thanks troll

I see one of our favourite bot's new recruits works in a waterpark in Dubai. Seems that FL bots never have a moment off-duty and are always looking for fresh blood, even whilst on "holiday"

(I use the term "holiday" loosely as when I go on holiday I tend not to spend the days cooped up indoors with 1000s of whooping co-workers listening to endless presentations and training).
