Can I be Worshipful Master of the Grand Lodge?

entrepeneur · 11/05/2018 15:06

Those titles sounds like some sort of Klan where they wear white sheets!!

Uber's baled out of tomorrow's dismal botfest due to her little one being poorly.

Good for her - I wonder how many lowly bots would be cut such slack?

Paddy1234 · 11/05/2018 15:49

Uber has dropped conveniently out of success day. It will be interesting to see how many top bots and there down lines actually make the trip.

As Messiah's choc chip milkshake is made by someone else and will just have his brand on it, he will have to pay upfront for at least the first batch, and will have to have it produced in big enough numbers so there is enough of it.

Given that comp plan I cannot see there will be enough product to get to the high levels.

Are the bots actually going to be buying the product, as in they will pay the 50% off the retail price, have the product delivered to them, and then they attempt to flog the product from their homes? Or is it all dispatched from warehouse and they just get 50% of what it sells for?

Why has he come up with all male names for his levels when MLM is mostly women?

Given what @BangingOn wrote it does sound like the bot physically buys all the product before trying to sell it herself.

That way the bot can try and buy there way up to Grandmaster Flash or whatever it is.

Product will run out quite quickly and it will take time to get more done and branded. He will still take the money while the product is backordered, the whole MLM will collapse due to such a long wait getting products out, he won't care because he will already have their money.

Major drama in one of the smaller teeth whitening MLMs, and a Bradford-based MLM regular has got involved. One teeth whitening MLM has launched a tanning spray, and when a seller's supply arrived she noticed that the label spelled aloe vera as 'alovera', paraben as 'parabon' and ageing as 'aging'.

She raised the issue on the team FB page, and although the company initially posted a mea culpa, a debate began in the group about whether the items should be partly refunded, an errata issued or the product replaced entirely. There were also tales of lost sales over the packaging.

This is where it got nasty. Some of the bots defended the company and told the whistle blower to grow up. The CEO of the company was on the group (who we later learned designed the packaging), and then a series of things happened (the order I'm not sure of); the whistle blower got banned from the group, she had her MLM account closed, and some vaguebooked insults were slung by the CEO. Other parties are alleged to have set up FB accounts especially to seek retribution.

A person from Bradford took umbrage at the CEO's bullying on a lengthy and passionate Facebook Live, which by accounts made her the target of some similar attacks.

PMSL @ "Grandmaster Flash"

Can I be an Imperial Grand Mistress (With Knobs On)? Do we have to give each other funny handshakes or will mint-chocolate shakes be sufficient? Grin

Thank you for your kind encouragement upthread suggesting I should record the Only Fools and horses pisstakery. If I had recording equipment I would. Someone should record it and play it outside a bot convention using very loud speakers and a yellow plastic van. Grin

InteleTravel “agents” have been contacting established (and ABTA and ATOL protected) Independent agents asking where they get their “deals” from and asking for tips on making sales. And here was me thinking they were all fully trained and had access to everything travel agents do..

Whiterangey · 11/05/2018 17:31

I am actually speechless about the teeth whitening/spray on tan malarky.

You would not risk a normal business turning into a slanging match all over the internet, this does seem to be something unique to MLM's.

BS - if you get it recorded, I will move heaven and earth to procure a trotter-mobile Robin Reliant and PA (paid out of my JOB) to do this. (Unless we can ponzi crowd fund it, huns?)

Whiterangey · 11/05/2018 18:01

I'm in @Twentytwentyhindsight

If we all pay in to get the Robin Reliant and PA, 3 weeks later we should all get back 20,000 times what we put in.

Seriously though, i'd definitely be in, it would be hysterically funny, and also while funny, it's a good message.

How does one PM on this huns?

Whiterangey · 11/05/2018 18:25

I'm on a PC and on the same highlighted line your name appears I have 3 options, Add message/Report/Message poster.

You click Message poster and you can send a message.

Not sure how it all works on phones or on all those fancy devices, I can't type on those so I don't use them to type on, obviously.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/05/2018 18:33

Ok, am on app on phone, doesn't seem to be an option.

ArbunneHun · 11/05/2018 18:36

I've decided to buy in to become a Bellend.

I spend so much of my time looking at Bellends on Facebook that I am starting to get jealous.

In time I hope to become a Mega Bellend (With Knobs On) but i'm content with just being a Bellend for now.

Juice plus posting up fake before and after pics. People have clocked on to this and are commenting that they are glad they didn't go on plan and they are still screeching "It's the same person" I didn't know a person could go from 50 to 18 year old on a diet. In other news has anyone seen the diet that's so good she lost her tattoo?

spanfan · 11/05/2018 20:27

Do you mean PM on here? If so, 3 dots on right hand side gives you option to pmmehun

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/05/2018 20:36

Thanks span. I've had some help with it - apparently I can't from the app on my phone, but need to go to the website.

@ArbunneHun - I think the ranks you propose for your compensation plan may be setting the bar a bit high for those just starting their journey in Total Shite-Life (TM) - After all, this sets out to be the People's Company, and the little guy should get recognition and be able to get a foot on the ladder.

I therefore propose adding the initial ranks of:
-knob
-bit of a wanker

In this way, we are providing a more level playing field to encourage the development of talent. It's all about being inclusive.
