It makes me happy that it does seem a general trend for the reduction of turnover in MLMs:

Juice plus+ dropped 17% 2018 vs 2017, but on UK turnover alone, this was a 30%!reduction.

Their profits didn't reduce by that much as they changed their commission schemes, s didn't pay distributors as much proportionately. Seems harsh for distributors, harder to sell the products and less money for them when they do...

Herbalife: last accounts (2017) show 13% reduction in turnover. Profits dropped 62% too. The report blames members productivity.

Stella and Dot: 27% drop 2017 to 2016 in turnover.

It's all on a downward trend...

I think desperate-to-be-supervisor bot will do just that sponge. I bet she will be pressured to do it by her upline ‘friends’.
Bloody shits that they are.
I really hope she doesn’t do it tho.

SnoogyWoo · 29/04/2019 07:06

Who is her up line?

Norma27 · 29/04/2019 07:30

Her immediate upline is yawn’s downline who made Manager recently (I think it is receipt bot).
So she is in yawn’s downline too.
Hope that makes sense!

Spongebobette · 29/04/2019 07:56

It lays bare how the system works

Her immediate upline is desperate for her to get ‘promoted’ as she’ll receive benefits herself from this, so she’s encouraging her like crazy.

Yawn, the next one in the upline, will be pressurising the Manager because another Supervisor in her downline is good for her too

Nothing to do with how it benefits poor bottom of the pyramid bot who will be rinsing all her friends and family and calling in every favour she can to make those CCs

And there will be smoke and mirrors too; if low down bot magically sells 6CCs in 3 days, it’s perfectly possible that her upline has ‘helped her out’ by putting through orders for her so she meets her target.... manager bot would be v motivated to do this. thereby of course spending her own money WHICH IS WHAT THE BUSINESS MODEL MAKES YOU DO

Whiterangey · 29/04/2019 10:38

That was a sad watch. Given that her manager had her card declined recently in guessing she is spending her own money getting her cc's to where they should be and hasn't any left to pay for her downlines cc's.

It's heartbreaking how this supervisor thing is so important to her.

Leicester/Influencer bot has set her Instagram profile to private following the BBC doumentary footage.

She has been deleting comments on her FB posts all weekend too.

MLMhun · 29/04/2019 11:33

I need to write down my bots. I know I saw the declined card Aldi receipt but totally forget who she was, can someone pm me hun?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/04/2019 11:41

I've got the same problem with receipt bot MLMhun. Confused

Spongebobette · 29/04/2019 13:04

Hopes-to-make-supervisor bot is offering ‘heavily heavily discounted’ products now in a desperate attempt to get her promotion

Any betting that she’s making zero profit on these sales and they are just in order to get this so called promotion?
But guess who WILL make money on the sales?
Her uplines

Jonsey32 · 29/04/2019 13:08

Can someone remind me who receipt bot is please?

Jonsey32 · 29/04/2019 13:18

Its ok I have figured it all
Out now!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/04/2019 13:26

OK I've got it now, but am I right in thinking the receipt post has been removed?

I presume someone who watches this thread ( hi Yawn! Grin ) told her to take it down pronto when it was pointed out.

MLMhun · 29/04/2019 13:30

Sorry if it’s been mentioned but did anyone see nursebot’s live on her “bizness” public group where she left her son screaming in the bath? 😱

Family Friendly indeed!

Jonsey32 · 29/04/2019 13:32

Yes I commented on that the other day.
She seemed so uncomfortable in that live and didn’t sound very convinced about anything she was saying. It was very sad.

Whiterangey · 29/04/2019 13:42

It's odd that someone whose whole life is about social media, especially Instagram, has decided to make it private.

I'm wondering, well hoping that nu skin may have given her the push. I have seen a couple of comments on Facebook regarding her treatment of women since the documentary which were quickly deleted but I've seen nothing on her Instagram like that.

Norma27 · 29/04/2019 14:17

Amazing how your ‘moonface’ disappears when you use a filter isn’t it yawn?!!

gotmychocolateimgood · 29/04/2019 14:29

Messiah is gushing about one of his minions who made Ambassador level. 5 figure monthly residual income, apparently.
Bullshit. What are the rank levels for TS Shite please, huns? Xxx

gotmychocolateimgood · 29/04/2019 14:39

Have to say though, to set up your own mlm and convince people they are buying a business is pretty impressive. Doesn't make him any less of a lying scumbag though.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/04/2019 15:10

Chocolate - the rank titles in Messiah Bots Total Shite (TM) scheme had me rolling on the floor at the time, so I copied them down (They don't seem to be displayed on the website or FB page anymore).

They are:

  • New Star
  • Bright Star
  • Director
  • Pro Director
  • Executive
  • Prime Executive
  • Commodore
  • Admiral
  • Ambassador
  • Master
  • Grandmaster
  • Pro Grandmaster
  • Prime Grandmaster
  • Supreme Grandmaster
  • Imperial Grandmaster
9dartfinish2nd · 29/04/2019 15:32

@Whiterangey She set limits on her comments on Instagram over the weekend before finally making the page private. She has clearly been getting a lot of flak on social media over the past two days

The Talented Ladies Club FB page have called her out as well saying they have it on good authority that the money and lifestyle she portrays to recruit people into Nu Skin comes from her wealthy family.

gotmychocolateimgood · 29/04/2019 15:45

Awesome Twenty, thanks for making my day 😁

Norma27 · 29/04/2019 16:09

I really think yawn is feeling the pinch now. She looks exhausted and so stressed. She knows that in about 10 days she has to explain why she has no cheque- again.
Funnily enough I feel zero sympathy. She is still trying to con others out of money to carry on her lifestyle. I’m so pleased it is coming to an end but feel so sorry for the likes of nurse and desperate-to-be-supervisor.

gotmychocolateimgood · 29/04/2019 16:29

Omg- Mumsnet Towers have tweeted this thread WITH A QUOTE FROM ME! #livinglifeinthelimelight #soblessed #mememebabes

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/04/2019 16:31

Lol at Yawn following her heavily filtered post about her amazingly improved jawline/face shape/complexion with a live video where you can clearly see she hasn't changed a bit and barely resembles the filtered image
