No sign of roomie going to Stockholm yet, I swear she said she sorted tickets out months ago?

JackDelaney · 07/05/2019 11:01

Revital U reps are all in a hyped up frenzy about the amazing business and their amazing teams and their amazing launch and how amazing they all are.

Just saw one rep talk about how her clinical depression is being soothed by the fact she has such a wonderful tribe under her....

I do not like where this is going....reminds me of when Valentus hit the UK and it swept a lot of reps along for a short lived rollercoaster ride of unsustainable recruitment and then a slow and torturous decline.

Some reps are already signing their lives away on this, blocking haters and setting themselves up for a major fall.

I could not sleep at night if I was running this show. These are people's lives, being dragged through the mud for a quick buck. Tossers.

Gotmy Yeah, usually lots of travel is seen as a downside of the job so a generous package (Wink) is part and parcel.

That FL plane is acesGrin

leasedaudi · 07/05/2019 12:19

That plane! I guess in its heyday the bots were earning heaps, so didn't need to make themselves look high-class, so a bit of MS paint was enough to bamboozle people into joining FL

acatcalledjohn · 07/05/2019 12:37

What's with Broke's power of positivity this morning? It's much more in depth than his usual "ready to smash another boss day" mantra.

Whiterangey · 07/05/2019 12:52

So forever are bringing out sunscreen and super greens. The supergreens taste yummy and the sunscreen is the best.

Or you could buy veg and pop into superdrug or boots for suncream. Interested to see what extortionate price they charge for the sunscreen. Bots will buy it though.

ClubSandwich · 07/05/2019 12:55

That FL plane Grin

My FLBot has posted a pic of her two kids starting their day with a FL shake Confused

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 13:34

FLP have done sunscreens before.

The one I'm thinking of had to be withdrawn after an ingredient was banned by the EU for causing contact dermatitis.

The EU authorities had given a year's notice of the impending ban (most skincare/cosmetic companies had begun removing the ingredient by then anyway, after a number of conclusive studies establishing the link).

FLP, however, did not tell their bots until the ban actually came into force, allowing them to continue stocking up, then informing them that it was now illegal to sell any stock they held, but that they could carry on ordering for 'personal use'.

I got accused of all sorts of negativity when I dared suggest to my OH that this was perhaps not a way of operating that showed they had their reps business owners' best interests at heart...

WheelyCote · 07/05/2019 13:38

Worked out i have
1× Arbonne bot - dear friend... we do not discuss this topic any longer.

1 x FM fragrances bot - this is the new one at work. Shes recruited a few colleagues too

2 x younique bots. Unfollowed one. It became too too much.

1x aloe vera bot (is the aloe vera mlm the forever living?) - unfollowed and lost touch

Its crackers. The arbonne one puts on days and conferences thst are meant to change your life🙄

Its awful..they become zombies

Norma27 · 07/05/2019 13:57

I love how bff refers to her room as a suite, and even penthouse suite. Just because it is on the top floor it does not make it a suite! Lovely 5star stains on the ceiling as already mentioned!

DownThePan · 07/05/2019 14:12

According to the chap doing the Aloe new products speech, we all have a shitty diets which surely means the C9 is a load of bollocks as there’s a room full of people there that ‘cleanse’ regularly and shouldn’t really have any need for Supergreens if they eat properly.

I also love how he says you can even sprinkle it on your salad. What a bark!

DownThePan · 07/05/2019 14:12

That was supposed to say WHAT A BERK!

9dartfinish2nd · 07/05/2019 14:27

Has the BBC doc reached it's peak reaction/audience or does anyone think the BBC1 One screening will be even more significant in spreading the word of the awfulness of these companies?

Whiterangey · 07/05/2019 14:41

I think it will reach more when it's on BBC1. The documentary was the first thing I've ever watched on bbc3/iplayer. I wouldn't be surprised of the are many more people like me who will watch BBC1 but won't go looking on iplayer.

Norma27 · 07/05/2019 14:47

I agree with whiterangey. It was the first programme I’ve watched in bbc3 since going online only.
Will definitely reach more people on bbc1. That coupled with chequefest this weekend makes me so excited!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 15:12

@MLMhun - You're right, Roomie did say she'd got the tickets done ages ago.

I'm kind of missing her presence in Stockholm, she was cherry on the Dallas cake, the icing being the cheques (or lack thereof).

Maybe she is planning to make a dramatic entrance to surprise Yawn, like the Ghost of Global Rallies Past...

justsayn0kids · 07/05/2019 15:17

I remember back when I was an aloe bot I went and paid way too much for "training" from bloodsucker. It's opened my eyes to a lot including how none of the bots ever continue into the F15 (follow on from C9). Like three of us stood up in a room of hundreds! Why bother with a "cleanse" if your gonna eat crap after Hmm.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 07/05/2019 15:25

I'm pretty sure that those who bought their own tickets don't head over until Thursday, so we might see Roomie then...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 15:30

The bots feel they have to do the C9 to 'show their customers the way', but they usually don't sell enough to cover the cost of their own one, so they can't afford to move on to the next stage of the miracle plan.--

The FIT 15 is for the completely botted novices who throw good money after bad are their own best customers.

ClubSandwich · 07/05/2019 15:34

Just watched Nurses live from this morning. I feel really sorry for her Sad begging for orders. Hope she sees the light soon

gotmychocolateimgood · 07/05/2019 15:42

Nurse admitting that she's not making any / very little money on the shakes at 2 for £30 is so sad.
She almost let slip that she needs to put in a minimum order tonight to stay active. Looks so tired and stressed Sad

True story @Twentytwentyhindsight I lost a lot unfortunately. So happy I saw what it was before I lost any more without doing too much damage to my career. It could have been so much worse! Thank god my DP wouldn't let me quit work I fell for the whole shibang BlushBlushBlush

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 15:55

At least you got out justsay.

My OH got into it rather than a job, just as we really needed an extra income. We spent 9 years scraping by while she 'invested in herself'. She now lives in someone's loft extension while I have the kids.

Bovneydazzlers · 07/05/2019 15:55

shop.foreverliving.com/retail/shop/shopping.do;jsessionid=2AE3B3633E037B7666C11E930D4B4ACD.tc1-int1?task=viewProductDetail&itemCode=553

The infinite skincare set...
I'm sad that the retail price is £144, so bots will be paying approx £99-£95 for it.

The same set is available on eBay/amazon for £50-£58 buy it now price, presumably sold by bots cutting their losses.

The bots are definitely the customer. How do they have a chance at retail when the same product is available on the open market for almost a third of retail price?!

gotmychocolateimgood · 07/05/2019 15:56

Omg. Just caught up with Nurse's live from yesterday. Shame on you, Yawn, dangling the hope of buying a house, foreign holidays and rounds of IVF in front of her for your own gain. You are despicable.
