The thread where network marketing / multilevel marketing goes local - not global.

I saw that @MLMsuperfan - I was really hoping she had seen the light, given all the posts about how much she was enjoying having a real JOB...

@joinmyteam1

"The whole thing was a huge example of what goes on in mlm . Someone wants to do a different approach against the uplines training . They get called out , bullied and forced into leaving and anyone sticking up for that person gets abused and taken down . It’s certainly not a good look for the The company"

You have described precisely what I witnessed within the ranks of Nu Skin last year.

One of the poster girl bots allegedly had different ideas and ways of doing things and fell foul of people higher up the food chain. she actually left the company along with her partner citing bullying and mean girl culture. Claimed her upline hadn't spoken to her for 12 months. she joined DoTerra for a few months and then re-appeared in Nu Skin again.

I have got the impression that perhaps there is still tension within the ranks. Hopefully i'm wrong because that is not a nice environment to be in.

Funny how MLM's in general the women empowering women culture disappears quickly and the claws readily appear.

Sad isn’t it .

MlM is the only business I’ve come across where your not encouraged to think out of the box and come up with different strategies. In my corporate world we were always brainstorming ways to do business better and grow .. this is why the industry is declining . As no leader is capable of changing tactics or have the experience to train the team like individual business owners . It’s all for the team .. me me me me ..

I loved empowering my team at work and would surely be grateful if they came up with a new business idea ..

Short sighted bots whom are worried if someone can think for themselves they’ll be catching on this isn’t the real deal and Realise they are losing money or if earning others around arnt

Oh I cannot remember. Bradfordbots name! Always did have a mental block on it for some reason. Can anyone help jog my memory?

Whiterangey · 26/03/2019 14:58

According to homeschools husband his wife was physically and sexually abused because of her low self esteem.

Way to blame the victim, it was her fault because she had low self esteem.

That, and much much more, is on his website where you can sign up for his self esteem course.

I was going to sign up but I'm worth more than having some sleazy conman trying to make me feel bad about myself to take my money.

He is not a good person.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/03/2019 16:31

His message is classic for the 'mindset coaching' vultures that stalk around MLM.

They prey on the failing bots (i.e. the majority) who have faithfully 'duplicated' their uplines' behaviour (attraction marketing posts etc.), alienated their real support network of friends and family (getting rid of negative people who don't believe you can succeed), and still aren't making any money.

They are easy meat, as they are now desperate to understand why they are not 'smashing it' as everyone around them seems to be, and they have no critical support network left to warn them off.

Since the inherent 'set up to fail' nature of MLM's can't be mentioned, the only explanation is that it's the poor bot's fault somehow. They've done everything they've been told will bring success (worked all hours, suspended critical thought, become their own best customers and a product of the product, cast away the naysayers, ...), so the only reason they are not a success has to reside in them.

This is where the victim blaming vicious circle begins. It is your fault. It is your fault because you don't want it enough. It is your fault because you let it happen to you. It is your fault because you don't love yourself enough.

I (and only I) can help you break out of this and learn to love yourself and achieve your dreams. I will keep on blaming your inherent failings for your inability to succeed, whilst telling you to be more positive about yourself. You will become dependent on me (as I am on keeping you in that shitty place, since that is how I make my money). The longer I can fuck with your mind, the more money I (and the MLM that has pointed you my way) will milk from you.

They truly are evil shitbags.

Whiterangey, that is so so awful.

The only person responsible for abuse is the abuser. ☹️

Twenty has nailed it with his post. You blame the victim for everything and then they won't ask questions about why their business is failing and you get money from them to talk billions to improve their mindset.

The only mindset you need in MLM is one where you can recognise vulnerable people and exploit them. Then you blame them once you've left them broke.

The relationship between a bot and their upline is an emotionally abusive, and financially abusive one.

Spongebobette · 26/03/2019 18:26

Just watched a small part of his live

What an utter lowlife he is. There is nothing to learn from him other than how low people can go

acatcalledjohn · 26/03/2019 18:59

Excellent post by @Twentytwentyhindsight. Abusers, that is what they are.

Broke is being a classy dude and slamming his ex for not seeing his kids today. All about him.

CatherineCookson · 26/03/2019 19:10

Love Wig's latest bit of advice... "Always stay true to who you are...." whilst posting applying a big head alien filter look to her selfie.

spanfan · 26/03/2019 19:16

I can't face watching the whole video. Is it the one with the tree?

It's all such bullshit. He's a wannabe TV presenter.and not v good.

Spongebobette · 26/03/2019 19:48

He thinks he’s some sort of quirky charming communicator

He isn’t

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/03/2019 20:25

Speaking of Wig, it would appear that all
Is not so rosy in crypto/forex Ponzi power couple land, looking at her passive/aggressive post about being treated as an option.

Wonder if Sleaze's uncharacteristic radio silence is connected?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/03/2019 20:26

That selfie is actually quite disturbing BTW...

Norma27 · 27/03/2019 06:33

Spanfan they all the lives seem very similar. I can only watch a couple of mins of any of them. I found him so disturbing. How is he qualified in what he does? Does he just like listening to women talking about abuse they have suffered?
He mentioned one women who remembered sexual? abuse happening to her by talking with him if I remember properly.

And how much do his ‘courses’ cost? I couldn’t find that information from his links.

Norma27 · 27/03/2019 06:35

And that selfie of wig. Does she think she actually looks like that? Very sinister.
I also wonder if her and sleaze have fallen out again.

Whiterangey · 27/03/2019 07:45

That selfie is scary, can't understand why she thinks anyone would think that is how she looks. She is 40, you age, it can't be helped and is expected.

She looks like one of the photos of children taking part in beauty pageants in America.

If she went missing she would never be found if all the police and public had to go on were her Facebook photos.

spanfan · 27/03/2019 10:24

@rangey. 😂😂

I'm not sure many bots would be found.... 😂😂😂

Twentytwentyhindsight · 27/03/2019 10:55

Has anyone seen this woman?

Nu Skin held their latest success trip to Laax in Switzerland last week for it's EMEA region bots (Europe, Middle East, Africa)

Once again a whole host of bots who had qualified for previous trips a couple of years ago were once again conspicuous by their absence having failed to qualify yet again. Just continues to back up the theory that the UK is a complete busted flush for MLM's and the ability to build the kind of downline needed to earn a significant income.

Whiterangey · 27/03/2019 14:59

I think that social media, which was responsible for the huge boom and cheques for top bots, is responsible for their decline.

Anti-mlm heroes, they know who they are, get the information shared on social media. Not to mention the group's and pages. The memes as well, they are shared by people who aren't interested in anti-mlm stuff.

Things will continue to get worse.

My 15 year old daughter was talking about some anti-anti-vaccine thing she read on a sub reddit. I said I didn't know she used reddit and she said she only reads two sub reddits, the vaccine one and the anti-mlm one. I've never told her about my own hatred for them, I've never been so proud.

Yawn is proud of her bot training to put in place everything including Chairman bonus
