MLMs/ Network Marketing: Thread 45

999 replies

Spongebobette · 05/12/2018 12:24

This is the 45th thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, Valentus, TS Life, Monat, Stella and Dot, Tropic, various slimroast/weight loss coffee MLMs and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs.
The reality is that 97% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

Iron Bot has published her team’s weekly call schedule:

  • Monday - Saturday 6:30am daily
  • Friday 12 noon, 6pm and 9pm
  • Monday 8:30pm
  • Wednesday 1pm
  • Thursday 9:30pm
  • Saturday 9am
  • Saturday 8:30pm

That is a LOT of brainwashing in one week!

She’s also posting photos of her downline in Thailand whilst not being there herself- does anyone know whether all JP Bots were eligible for that incentive?

This has probably been talked about a zillion times before- BUT, Tropic are driving me nuts at the moment. A couple of women on my Facebook have started selling it- one keeps adding me to her ‘VIP group’, so I leave it, and she adds me again. She also messaged me twice on Friday about her amazing opportunity. I said thanks, not my thing at all. I’ve had to unfollow her, and leave the group AGAIN. If she messages again, I’ll block her. It’s such a shame because I’m now avoiding meeting up with her, and haven’t had any meaningful contact for months now.

It’s such a shame that Tropic has this awful business model. I’m a vegan so it would be amazing if I could buy their stuff. But I can’t support an MLM.

PatchworkElmer · 14/01/2019 07:26

I also find it quite interesting that I know 3 Tropic reps. All 3 have a good career, or their own business... what is it about Tropic that appeals to them, when another MLM almost certainly wouldn’t?

Is Bradford bot Brokes's Ex?

CurlsandCurves · 14/01/2019 08:57

Can’t find Bradford bot, has she changed her name on Facebook?

SSDGM · 14/01/2019 09:04

Bradfordbot was also known as thang bot. Not Broke’s ex. That’s StokeBot. Who didn’t seem to do too much with the money Valentus supposedly gave her recently.

thenextsmallthing · 14/01/2019 09:48

Bradford bot and salon bot aren't the same person are they?

SSDGM · 14/01/2019 10:11

No, both did Valentus but Bradford posted a very teary and sweary live when the shit hit the fan back in August 2017 for Valentus, saying she had lost a few hundred ££s

DownThePan · 14/01/2019 13:03

My local WI is selling £2 raffle tickets to win a 75 minute facial with a Tropic bot. The same bot is offering facials for free on a local online forum. Doh!

Bad news for Scentsy and Partylite Huns?

I know the Daily Mail isn't everyone's cup of tea but hey...

Yawn is going to give her sign language teacher business and marketing advice.
What a surprise she sees this as an opportunity to recruit more victims.
What an absolutely vile person she is.

willdoitinaminute · 14/01/2019 21:35

I have found the sign language teacher on FB it’s bit naughty of Yawn naming her. Perhaps someone should warn her via a fake fb account.

Whiterangey · 14/01/2019 22:43

Yawn won't be doing the sign language for much longer anyway.

I wonder if her teacher is currently telling her friends all about the pupil trying to recruit her into an mlm

Yawn should not be giving business advice to anyone when she is currently going broke. I do worry about those dogs when she loses the house.

YouokHun · 14/01/2019 22:45

Perhaps a few of us should warn her! Imagine FLP cutting through this lady’s contacts and the damage it could potentially do her personally and professionally, not to mention the shit ‘buy some coordinating stationery’ biz advice she’s in line for Hmm

Twentytwentyhindsight · 14/01/2019 22:51

And the 'mindset' bollocks...

Whiterangey · 15/01/2019 08:19

I think it's best to leave it alone. She will come to her own conclusions if she hasn't already. It could have the opposite effect and Yawn could claim jealous haters due to the vast amount of money she is earning.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/01/2019 15:02

It seems that even Uber is her own best customer - she's organised all her supplements into daily bags. Loads of them.

Jeez I'd hate to think how much that lot is costing her Shock ..... and god knows whether she even gets any benefit from them Hmm

BangingOn · 15/01/2019 15:09

I thought that too Kenny- imagine how long it must take every day to swallow all of those. She must rattle!

YouokHun · 15/01/2019 15:25

I have local FLP Huns harnessing National Obesity Week as a promotional tool for flogging C9 and signing people up. ‘Get back in control of you’re eating the healthy way’.

YouokHun · 15/01/2019 15:25

*your eating.

Whiterangey · 15/01/2019 15:38

I noticed there were no positive comments about her supplements.

Bovneydazzlers · 15/01/2019 15:59

I don't see many non-castle team using their diaries.... not much mutual support going on there from other FL owners...

Hello thread. Woman I know just been sucked into this - lots of posts on fb about starting her own business with an assortment of you go hun responses. She's invited me onto her new business fb page - no chance.

Do any of you have a link to the rl account of a woman sucked into mlm make-up?
