She’s putting more effort into the new Bristol downline, her minion there is super super keen and seems to be building a team

Nurse will soon get snapped up by the (ex- FLP) publisher that did Roomie's book.

I say "snapped up" but as it seems the author pays the publisher (rather than the other way round) what I actually mean is that she will be prospected by the publisher and will end up parting with yet more money for yet more empty promises Sad

Oh I do love a limerick!

There was a young bot from Forever,
Who pushed her business endeavour,
She shilled aloe gloop,
That just tasted like poop,
And made no money whatsoever!

DownThePan · 06/05/2019 21:08

@twentytwentyhindsight - Thanks for those amounts. Do they get any extra towards flights and hotel or is this all they get?

ElektraLOL · 06/05/2019 21:10

Yawn says that she didn't have to pay a penny for anything and that they get free money to spend on shopping via that credit card.

This is the first year that I've ever seen a video on her social media trying to draw people into FL.

ElektraLOL · 06/05/2019 21:10

Sorry I mean a video of a hotel room

WheelyCote · 06/05/2019 21:24

Trying to understsnd the thread...

Whats a bot? And a hun? And a yawn? And a C9?Blush

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/05/2019 21:25

@DownThePan - Global Rally qualifiers get travel, accommodation and food paid (for two).

To compensate for the dramatic decline in UK bots qualifying, FLP UK ran an incentive this year where, if they met certain targets, they would get flights paid to Stockholm, but nothing else (either that or £250 towards a trip to Stockholm- maybe someone else can say for sure).

For a break down of FLP worldwide incentives you can read this: http://s3.foreverliving.com/a1J0V00000JITU6UAP%2F152769785138520180601+CoPolicyy_E.pdf?_ga=2.140664442.997184902.1557174258-1837953662.1557174258

DownThePan · 06/05/2019 21:28

£250 won't go far in Stockholm for the Bots that have taken up the incentive!

DownThePan · 06/05/2019 21:29

@WheelyCote

A Bot or Hun is someone involved in the MLM Biz
Yawn is one of the Bots that is often mentioned on this thread
C9 is a 9-day cleanse peddled by many of the aloe bots.

And food and drink is EXPENSIVE in Sweden

Whiterangey · 06/05/2019 21:48

Is Stockholm really expensive?

What those who won the incentive had to payout to qualify for the incentive is likely more than the £250 forecast have them for flights.

If I was going to choose a city destination to spend a week I could think of better places to go.

Spongebobette · 06/05/2019 21:50

BFF has done the obligatory tour of the (very standard) hotel room and gift pack. Two of them in the room but only one yellow backpack and one ‘loaded credit card’
Hmm spin that one on your own page ‘plus one bot’

Fables103 · 06/05/2019 21:53

I paid the equivalent of £15 for 2 coffee in Stockholm. Haha good luck FLP bots.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/05/2019 21:54

@DoraExplorer99 - I always bow to your knowledge of FLP, but the link I posted above is to a company document, which says in respect of Global Rally qualifiers that they get "airfare, lodging and meals", plus the spending money (pages 26 & 27)?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/05/2019 21:56

Or were you talking about those who did not qualify for the GR but won the 'incentive'?

Whiterangey · 06/05/2019 22:03

One of the younique black presenters has posted about the MLM documentary. The bot is no 21 bot globally. She is also not a 6 figure earner as her companies house accounts show. Last year she earnt £56k which was almost half of what she earned the year before.

Eliie manipulated facts and invented evidence apparently.

9dartfinish2nd · 06/05/2019 22:13

I saw that video too Whiterangey, so she was the Younique hun Ellie signed up with on the documentary?

Comments turned off too and all the MLM bingo phrases you can handle in the description below the video.

She looked a little rattled to me during that video.

I do wonder if the bots realise that normal people with normal jobs also get to travel with their jobs and those trips are just part & parcel of life? Flights, accommodation and meals result aren’t perks when you’re travelling for work, they’re the absolute minimum.

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 06/05/2019 22:24

Help me, I'm between a rock and a hard place.

We're getting a dog and everyone we know has raved about a local dog trainer who is brilliant. She is brilliant at her job and we really want to train our dog with her.

But.

She's a FL bot. Even has a section on her website about how aloe helps dogs stay healthy Hmm

Do we train with her and ignore any hard selling? Will I struggle to bite my tongue over her bullshit claims re feeding aloe shite to dogs?

Should we look elsewhere and avoid supporting a bot in any way?

WheelyCote · 06/05/2019 22:25

Thanks Downthepan :)

fromdownwest · 06/05/2019 22:28

@Canoe - Anyone that allows dogs to ingest Aloe would not be within a mile of my dog, it clearly shows that she puts her best interests above that of those around her, which includes your dearest dog. Ask your local vets to recommend one, I did just that and he was amazing.

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 06/05/2019 22:35

From That's how I felt when I saw her website. How can you have professional knowledge of dogs and recommend something harmful to them?

I'll speak to the vet. I'll be honest if they ask why I don't want to use her.
