PHD got into an online fight about MLM's. Someone said 90% of people don't make money, she had twisted it into that the person meant only 10% make 6 figures.

She is repulsive.

Spongebobette · 30/06/2019 12:43

Where was that?

Whiterangey · 30/06/2019 12:48

She was talking about it on Facebook stories.

spanfan · 30/06/2019 13:43

Yeah. That smug know it all look from pHd was on Instagram.

Apparently network marketing is just like any other business where only a minority make the big bucks.

Technically true... But not mentioning that the lower paid, still get paid, without spending their own cash, with paid leave, pension contributions, maternity/paternity leave, training cost covered.

But they ARE the same dontcha know. 😁

So wig is earning 840k a year apparently. Is she a limited company so we can check this out?

SCM79 · 30/06/2019 18:40

Can someone let me know who Wig is?? I’ve just stumbled upon Castle’s their today. What a deluded muppet. What makes these people think they are “business coaches”??

Post seen on a travel agent page about Inteletravel.

“I saw a post the other day of them boasting they 'now have over 3100 agents in the UK 'and last month sold a 'whopping' $1m in holiday travel ..(erm...do the maths...that's around £750k divided by 3100 which is around £240 at average of 8% comms before their split of 3/4 so I make out the average they are earning is around £13.50 pcm...and that's without any possible NC's...so don't think we need be too worried..)😉🙄”

JackDelaney · 30/06/2019 21:30

Yeah, it's all kicked off a little with Revital U.

An outspoken hun left the company and called them out on points which may or may not be true. But below was her main points.

That the company messed her around with wages massively. Still waiting for payments which have been late several times. She's now suffering major financial issues because of them.
One of the high up people at the company was incredibly rude and unprofessional to her when she tried to discuss some issues.
One of the people at the company has been accused of domestic abuse and she can't be in a company where someone like that is given any respect.
That the main products are still being delayed. Samples are not arriving to the customers.

Then on this quite 'from the heart' type post, she suddenly got indundated with huns trying to recruit her. It was fucking insane.

"I've been with juice plus and we always get paid on time! Pm me hun"
"At Younique we get paid on the 10th of the month and it's like clockwork, inbox me boo"

She came from Valentus, To Revital U, she's already found somewhere else.

FFS, this woman has financial issues and she's continuing to find that golden MLM which will not screw her royally over.

They don't exist hun. Please consider leaving this vile industry. Don't get screwed over again!

One of the Messiah's main team builders in the USA has defected to Hempworx, I notice. I wonder why?

Whiterangey · 30/06/2019 23:06

On the 25th June BFF received a package from FLP saying she read on track to qualify for the Australia trip. Halfway through the year and she hasn't even managed the 1500cc's she needs yet. She usually qualifies at 2500.

I can't wait up find out how few qualify this year.

Receipt ot is cheering someone on to get a promotion by midnight. Not sure if the person is in her downline or not it's so pathetic and cringey looking at the poor girls Facebook.

She is becoming people to order and offering discounts. She set up a stall at her kids preschool thing on Saturday. It looks lame. I feel so bad for her. I'm guessing she will end up putting her promotion on a credit card.

Norma27 · 01/07/2019 06:39

How can the bot be really close to promotion if they need to do 3cc still in a couple of hours? It is definitely a way of guilting them into spending money themselves.

Whiterangey · 01/07/2019 07:49

No congratulations so looks like she didn't make it. She has probably already maxed out her credit cards so had no way of getting what she needed.

I imagine she is feeling terrible this morning and is blaming herself.

Whiterangey · 01/07/2019 08:07

It's when you see something like this and you know someone is suffering emotionally as well as financially because of an mlm that you wonder why it is still legal.

I wonder how many hundreds of pounds this failed attempt has cost her. Not to mention that she is a complete and utter failure. Supervisor and beyond is achievable if you work hard enough.

She obviously didn't work hard enough.

Whiterangey · 01/07/2019 09:12

She has an extra day so she's done a life breaking anyone on her Facebook to buy from her.

Saying they can swap their toothpaste or deodorant or potions and lotions for one of forevers. I'm not going to swap my £1 deodorant for a £6 one. I'm not swapping my 50p handwash for one that costs £15.

Norma27 · 01/07/2019 10:03

Shows how desperate fl are for her to spend her money to get the ‘promotion’. Vultures.
And receipt bot is really showing how vile and botted up she is. The pressure she is putting on them is unbelievable, but she disguises it as being supportive.

HairyPotter · 01/07/2019 10:10

The law of reaction at work again. Nurse has had a lovely time at a theme park while she was on annual leave...

gotmychocolateimgood · 01/07/2019 10:24

You wouldn't just casually drop 'theme park' into a sentence as a fully botted Bot McBotface. You'd check in, post loads of pics, gush repeatedly about being grateful for the opportunity blah blah blah. You'd name the park, for a start!

Norma27 · 01/07/2019 10:27

True! I went to Thorpe Park yesterday. I don’t really post on Facebook so have not mentioned it on there. I have mentioned to people that is where we went though, and didn’t just say ‘theme park’.

Nurse is so awful at lying. Even being trained by the master liar yawn can’t help her!

MLMsuperfan · 01/07/2019 11:33

No bot has a day out without at least one social media post trying to make it look super glam.

Nurse is terrible at botting and terrible at lying.

Whiterangey · 01/07/2019 11:50

I think there may have been something in her Facebook stories a few days back about a theme park but it wasn't that prominent. It is possible they did go to one. Did anyone else see anything a few days back?

MLMsuperfan · 01/07/2019 12:37

What's this nonsense from Receipt?

"In (location) today for some intense advance business training in network marketing. Yer it’s a Sunday 🤷‍♀️ no I don’t have to be here but if I want to keep living my best flexible life where 7 days a week are happening the way I want them too then YES I must be here"

So working at the weekend is now being flexible. Thanks Receipt, I'm not stupid though.

CodenameVillanelle · 01/07/2019 12:40

I don't know how to view the Facebook stories. Does anyone know?

fromdownwest · 01/07/2019 12:41

One thing that does seem to stand out to me about the bots is their inability to follow through with continuation. Which is maybe why they are unable to exist in the real world of JOB's.

They are like children with new toys:

  • I am going to live every day for a month, 3 days later nothing
  • I am going to the gym twice a day to get fit - 3 days photos then nothing
  • I am going to eat super healthy and vegan - 3 days of food photos then nothing

They flip from one flop the the next

Twentytwentyhindsight · 01/07/2019 15:23

All the L.o.A. Bollocks urges them to live in the present, while thinking about the shiny bossbabe future that is bound to come about. The past is another country.

It is useful because it stops the bots from learning from the past, or questioning such things as being promised "a full time income from a part time job", or "achieving promotion within three months being a done deal", or "spending money you don't have on a weekend of 'training' will take your biznis to the next level", when the reality is that they're out of pocket and promotion is as remote as ever after years of hard full time graft and attending endless days of repetitive brainwashing.

Whatever its usefulness to the vultures at the company and the uplines, this does not do much for the bots' ability to behave consistently or follow through on their various grand announcements.

ClubSandwich · 01/07/2019 15:37

I went to a local gala yesterday and was disappointed to see a Ybot with a stall Sad

My FLbot has messaged me this morning asking if I know anyone who would be interested, seeing as I told her I wasn’t when she approached me a month or so back. Here’s the message...
