MLM Bot Watch 36 - Those who think it's ok to tell white lies soon become colourblind

982 replies

36 Lies to reel you in...

  1. They will tell you that you will have time freedom in this business. Two weeks later they will tell you the business won't work unless you do.

When it's a business event they will not accept excuses for you missing it and will set an example by missing their child's first birthday or telling you a story of how they once shit themselves in white trousers on the front row at success day because they were poorly but didn't want to miss it.... You will know quickly that the unspoken rules is 'no excuses on success day's.

Please add your own below!

@sshuga exactly- that's what I thought. Also, there's a lot of 'aren't you sick of the 9-5' blah blah blah- but no alternative mentioned- that's why I was scouring the website for MLM link clues.

That screams of desperation.

Salon's accounts up until 31st May have been posted on companies house. Which will cover most of the most profitable period she has been with Valentus as it was at the beginning of August that bots deserted it like rats deserting a sinking ship.

She has also done a review of a training manual which I suspect she wrote herself, but I guess she still isn't allowed to do anything like that while under investigation by trading standards so she is making out that someone else wrote it. No names attached to it, which is strange because these things are sold by being written by bots who are the most successful.

She went to pick her copy up by car as she was so eager to get it so why does the author want to remain anonymous to everyone but her?

ArbunneHun · 07/03/2018 11:35

Well if the monthly CCs are dropping off, Bob needs to meet his profit targets somehow... we all know that events & ‘training’ is a profitable side-line.

Expect lots of strong-arming from top-leaders to get their poor downline to buy tickets.

entrepeneur · 07/03/2018 12:34

It's interesting to see the Bots branching out from MLM as they scrabble around to keep the dosh rolling in. A couple like MessiahBot and SackedArriixBot have realised you need to be at the top of the pyramid so SackedArriix is offering an MLM online training academy at a cost of £29.99 plus she has a waist clincher business and is now offering that at wholesale prices to her minions to flog on her behalf.

MessiahBot is teasing us with more info tonight about his new venture which will no doubt have coffee and shakes at exorbitant prices

Whiterangey · 07/03/2018 12:54

MessiahBot commented on Salon's status about the training manual, wonder if they could end up working together?

There are so many training courses, manuals, books, everything else, that I can't see how they can be making money. The only people who are going to buy this crap are their downlines, which are diminishing quickly.

The manual Salon reviewed had 50 copies made, they were made available two weeks ago and didn't sell. It seems a bit more interest since Salon did the review yesterday.

Even bots have got to reach a training overload, especially when it costs them money and they aren't making any.

Whiterangey · 07/03/2018 13:15

Ariix has acquired another company.

behindmlm.com/companies/ariix/ariix-acquires-nucerity-in-march-5th-merger/

Nucerity sells very expensive anti-aging lotions and potions, so expect lots of 'EEK!' and 'Gamechanger' being used by Ariix bots.

$65 for a moisturiser.

ArbunneHun · 07/03/2018 21:55

MLM Messiah only cares about how he can serve his acolytes. That’s all. Nothing to do with exploiting people for profit, he wants to SERVE.

entrepeneur · 07/03/2018 22:13

MillionDollarMessiah appears to be serving up supplements. Yawn!

SSDGM · 07/03/2018 23:30

Wasn’t Salon writing a book/website/etc on inspiring people in business? She had all those photos etc done no not those ones

whosaidso · 07/03/2018 23:33

Anyone got any info on Inteletravel???
Is it a legit "Homebased travel agent opportunity"?????

ArbunneHun · 08/03/2018 05:58

@whosaidso ‘Inteletravel’ is a recruitment pyramid scheme. You pay for the ‘training’ (your sign up fee) then you pay a monthly retainer. You are encouraged to recruit other people and you get a cut of their monthly retainer.

whosaidso · 08/03/2018 10:39

@ArbunneHun
Thanks!
Lots of people seem to be recruiting but not many people that I can see are booking holidays. I'm not interested in the recruitment side of it at all but I'm not sure if it would be a viable option to do the travel on its own!
Who knows!!

darceybussell · 08/03/2018 10:55

Has anyone seen that one of the top top Ni Skin bots did a Facebook live last week walking away from MLM completely (although I guess she might go back to it later but for now she has walked away).

She says the culture in network marketing now is so awful she can't possibly continue any more.

She says it's a cult, there is a bitchy, cliquey, mean girl mentality and it has made her so unhappy she can't take any more, so she has quit.

darceybussell · 08/03/2018 10:57

*Nu Skin even

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 08/03/2018 11:01

darcey that seems to be a common reason a lot of people leave MLMs (the bitchy, cliquey, mean girls mentality).

It makes me Hmm to see so many bots posting today, International Women's Day, about the wonderful women in their teams, how they've got each others back, how they are there to help and support each other when you know about the bitchy back stabbing that actually goes on behind the scenes.

spanfan · 08/03/2018 14:22

I agree. The deep irony that in fact all these women are being used and manipulated, both by other women and me. Feminists? My arse.

spanfan · 08/03/2018 14:23

Men, not me. 😂😂😂

spanfan · 08/03/2018 14:35

Do you know who is THE WORST kind of bot? For me it's the clever ones, because they invariably succeed, and know how to manipulate and how to promote themselves. And then use their qualifications (Dr) to make them look even more trustworthy.

A bot, mentioned here before has just moved into her dream flat. Apparently it was all from her believing it would happen. Actually it's mostly because she is earning money off poorer people than her.

I think she is extremely bright and thus has allowed her to take advantage of others.

Her online image is very very polished and she has definitely spent money creating this. So so vulgar.

Like I said, the worst kind of bot. 😢

Whiterangey · 08/03/2018 18:49

I haven't seen one single holiday sold, and they would be announcing that and laying out exactly how much they had saved the person. Then they would be bragging about how much they had earned from booking the holiday for that person to gain new recruits.

None of that has happened so i'm guessing no holidays sold.

There is not sign of ABTA or ATOL anywhere, including the new Ariix travel thing.

People like to browse holidays before they choose and there is no way to do that which i've seen.

There is a huge difference between spending £30 on a stupid box of stupid coffee and spending thousands on a holiday to somewhere like Disneyland. People are not going to risk it. The bots who would get all whipped up and buy anything MLM can't afford it.

Just seen a travel bot post about a 2 bed apartment in Paphos for just over £1000 for 7 nights. No flights are included in that. Even if she could find someone to buy a holiday in the very small reach her facebook page has, it's not something that people will buy more than once a year.

I know there is a 'product' but the travel schemes are definitely more like a pyramid scheme than an MLM. The only people who will buy one of the holidays will be the bots selling them, if they can afford one, which I doubt. The only mone will be from your downline and it does appear that even the most eager bots are staying clear of the travel schemes.

It will be interesting to see how it pans out with Ariix. Rasher posted something about Ariix God being awesome and saying they don't need ABTA and ATOL because they are just reselling existing holidays, but because he loves his bots he will sort that out and get ABTA certified.

I know next to nothing about if that is true, does anyone else?

Uberbot's sister appears to have just had an op.

You'd think she'd want to recuperate in peace, stress-free and not worry about anything especially work but, no, rather ironically she posts on fb about how her job means that she's still getting paid as her customers are still buying etc.

She says " In a normal job I’d need a sick note or to have to take this next week or two as valuable holiday time which would be better spent making memories with my family "....er, no love, you wouldn't have to take holiday, you would be given a sick note and be PAID . You wouldn't still be having to place orders for your customers and sort out getting their products to them. In fact you wouldn't have to give work a single thought. Also you wouldn't have to maintain a presence on social media when all you probably want to do is curl up on the sofa under a duvet watching TV.

They don't get it do they?
