@DoraExplorer99 I thought she had a year off doing up The Thatch, or was that the year before? I have noticed that she churns through new recruits and most of them seem to drop off the face of the earth without making any promotions, such as Mrs Stickman who thankfully appears to have seen the light! It's obvious that Yawn has written off the Nurse as useless in the grand scheme of things. She didn't even bother to love bomb her and hardly even tosses her a ThumbsUp on her Lives.

Also I'm fairly sure I doubted you last year about Yawn's cheque so I'm fully behind you this time!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 20:22

@leasedaudi - according to BP's post, Castle's BFF qualified 3rd among the 2.5K cc qualifiers, so above Yawn by quite a bit.

These are the qualification levels by volume of CCs (turnover, effectively). This is for the Global Rally (how many days, level of pocket money, cleanliness of hotel room, jollies etc.

The CB cheques are determined partly by CCs, but there are a whole other series of arcane criteria that have to be met that will determine the level and size of the cheque (and whether you get one).

leasedaudi · 09/05/2019 20:23

@DoraExplorer99 wow okay! Well Yawn does like to love and leave her botlings very quickly these days, so they never really learn how to effectively bot; no wonder they're making her no money.

I wonder if insolvent bot will get a cheque? Bet companies house would be interested 😂!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 20:23

Sorry Dora, I cross posted.

leasedaudi · 09/05/2019 20:24

@Twentytwentyhindsight wow, I see Yawn is at the lower end of the £2.5k if that list is in rank order. So she's really got nothing coming her way.

gotmychocolateimgood · 09/05/2019 20:27

Do bots earn more money / CCs if
A. They recruit loads and loads of minions who never get anywhere
B. They recruit a few who manage promotions
C. They recruit very few who recruit well and get promoted as well as being promoted themselves?

My brain feels like that optical illusion with the sideways staircases merging into each other after typing that.

Lots of whooping and hollering for tiny cheques

Yawn is still big on recruiting and compared to most announces new bots joining her team regularly. Her churn of people is horrific. I imagine this is because she’s just grabbing the initial £200 of anyone she can, absolutely no regard for their suitability or ability.

I suspect this is one of the reasons there is so much negativity on this thread toward her.

She does not have the skills or wherewithal to coach and mentor people. She’s after a quick quid and I suspect she needs it!

She will struggle to explain the lack of cheque a second year running.

I'd really love to know what Castle gets. Seems like we'll all find out tomorrow evening.

gotmychocolateimgood · 09/05/2019 20:34

Dora you are the oracle of this group!

@DoraExplorer99 Will the presentation be in a top-floor suite with a veranda? If so, I'm there!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 20:39

@DoraExplorer99 - Don't tell us you hold them every week!

DownThePan · 09/05/2019 20:41

@Twentytwentyhindsight Even if Dora held her CMBonus meetings weekly, I'd still struggle to understand how the hell they calculate them!

gotmychocolateimgood · 09/05/2019 20:45

Twenty your link was faulty unfortunately but I found this <a class="break-all" href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=gallery.foreverliving.com/gallery/FLP/download/DownloadCatList_forms_forms_11865_en_USA_1.pdf%3Fdirembed%3DtrueframeBorder%3D0&ved=2ahUKEwjP-Yr2mY_iAhW6RhUIHZhoDcsQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2_PVfyAdJVrbfY2ujeEr6y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=gallery.foreverliving.com/gallery/FLP/download/DownloadCatList_forms_forms_11865_en_USA_1.pdf%3Fdirembed%3DtrueframeBorder%3D0&ved=2ahUKEwjP-Yr2mY_iAhW6RhUIHZhoDcsQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2_PVfyAdJVrbfY2ujeEr6y
Bloody hell, I can't believe people get sucked into this. There are definitely no pyramids in there! (Thinly veiled as other shapes like sideways rectangles of ever increasing size) 🔺

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 20:48

Well, the bots are told to attend every week, but the FLP literature specifically tells them not to tell marks prospects that they are held every week in order to jump them into coming to the next one.

You're right though, a three year full time bachelor level course would probably still leave someone none the wiser...

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 09/05/2019 20:50

I think it’s definitely a rectangle,just the sides have been cut off and tapered slightly!

Spongebobette · 09/05/2019 20:52

Just watched Uber's two videos and they did not disappoint!

Not a lot of UK bots there at all and only a handful seemed to get cheques. Uber was desperately whipping up the atmosphere before the reveal, whooping like a maniac, and after the (rather unimpressive)cheques were revealed you can see Bloodsucker filming on her phone, trying to capture some excitement to use in her promotional material.

Brief glimpse of Yawn trying to loom like she was enjoying herself.

Son-of-owner on stage in the background telling bots that they've worked hard and heard a lot of 'nos' but it was worth it.

The whole thing looked grim.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 20:53

Chocolate - unfortunately, your link appears to be faulty also...

A link to the FLP policies and procedures (including Global Rally and Chairman's Bonus) can be found at the bottom of this page:

good luck reading that, it's very hard going!

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 09/05/2019 21:03

So in 2017 BFF picked up over 100K - this year 13K. If my income plummeted like that I’d be moving on.
