He's posted today saying he's taking a break from the coffee because he's losing too much weight. Got the shits more like

Gingerkittykat · 28/05/2019 15:20

've got a friend who got caught up in several MLM schemes last year. This was her post easrlier.

*Uuurrgghhh..... Such a terrible pic. Thank the lord for Revitalu and (name of person conning her).

Can't wait to get restarted with the coffee. My god I've missed it. Stay tuned for amazing changes.....I'll l have free samples too if you like what you see*

It was a fat photo, she lost weight by drinking this crap alongside slimming world.

I posted this earlier, but on thread 47. Has anyone heard of this Revitalu.

Of course all of her Revitalu friends started praising her and telling her how she was going to rock her business.

Is there anything I can link her to to make sense. I've got loads of sympathy for her, single mum working as a care assistant so trying to make a few quid. I'm wondering what backlash I will get for telling her on that post it is all a pile of shite.

I'm presuming belief comes with a price tag

What a load of tosh

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/05/2019 15:30

I think she's discounting the belief by £500 at the moment spanfan (limited time and very few places left Hun- get in there quick!).

fromdownwest · 28/05/2019 15:30

@MLMsuperfan - I cannot believe that she can write these posts without an ounce of irony attached to them.

She is a failed MLM'er, with zero interpersonal skills, hugely abrasive, no business acumen, and has the audacity to say that she is basically entitled to these life luxuries because she visualised it (lots of neuroscience behind it apparently)

spanfan · 28/05/2019 15:45

@twenty.. oh boy, must find the money or else my belief will cease to be. 😲😲😲😲

DownThePan · 28/05/2019 16:31

SackedbyAriix bot has recorded a live responding to more claims of online bullying

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/05/2019 16:46

@DownThePan- this may be in response to a post on MLM Lies Exposed FB page taking the piss out of the mermaid stuff.

SSDGM · 28/05/2019 17:01

Yes, she’s crying victim again.

MLMsuperfan · 28/05/2019 17:16

Sacked is fuming.

@ 5.00: "I. Have. No. Shame. Whatsoever"

Hmm
BangingOn · 28/05/2019 17:30

BS to answer your question further up thread, I manage a large team within sales (although account managers rather than new business, so not traditionally salesy but more commercial and relationship driven). If I saw an MLM on a CV it would definitely put me off, I may still interview them but I’d be very wary and they’d have to demonstrate real commerciality and an understanding of the real world rather than just Bot Land.

SSDGM · 28/05/2019 17:39

Bah, I’m overseas on a business trip I don’t have to pay for so wanted to catch up with the sacked thread later in between food and drink I don’t have to pay for. Maybe in the taxi I don’t have to pay back to the hotel I didn’t have to pay for and the bloody thread has been deleted!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/05/2019 17:57

You didn't miss a huge amount SSDGM. Someone posted a pic with a trite mnemonic gleaned from one of Sacked's downlines. Various folk took the piss, including mentioning Sacked's track record.
Very soon, a screaming horde of her devoted downlines piled in, naming Sacked, and accusing the group of bullying (suggesting this was prompted by bitterness, lack of sex, failure at network marketing, etc.).
There was a brief but productive round of MLM bingo, then the huns departed en masse without having responded to the valid points put to them (including that it was they who first named Sacked on the thread...).

BSintolerant · 28/05/2019 18:01

Thanks banging. I wonder how many bots would write “Sacked the boss” as a reason for leaving on an application form. Grin

My friend who was personally and professionally bullied on Sacked bots public profile is in my messages howling at the woman's short memory.

She would like to remind you all that unless you're on 6 figures and shallow minded your opinions are null and void according to sacked bot.

Does she polish her own pedestal? or do her sad, middle aged merbots take it in turns to buff it up while chanting crap about white kidney bean carb blockers?

CodenameVillanelle · 28/05/2019 18:55

How did sacked get sacked? How does one get sacked from an MLM?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/05/2019 19:15

Ironically, she was sacked for bullying (allegedly), which she denies.

gotmychocolateimgood · 28/05/2019 19:45

It's mermazing though!

😂

Spongebobette · 28/05/2019 20:00

Her command of language is......interesting.

Is hair flicking mandatory, by the way?

suedoname · 28/05/2019 20:55

Hair flicking and regular pictures in underwear are the beginners kit for empowered female CEO.

Pornbot has gone down the road of claiming DV at the hands of her husband, then her brother in law only to complain that she got more comments of concern than she does for comments interested in her business.

SaucySausageSandwiches · 28/05/2019 21:23

Who’s sacked bot? Was she in FL?

suedoname · 29/05/2019 06:37

Ariix

Claims it was Bitcoin related.

Jigsawpuzzle · 29/05/2019 09:32

Uber that product placement is so cheesy, you are not directing a Hollywood movie.
Law of reaction again fiancée got a mention. I get the impression that the bots menfolk are nothing but a sideshow as well as the kids , pets, grannies etc

Norma27 · 29/05/2019 11:17

The product placement posts they do are so cringey. Can you imagine normal people doing it?!

CodenameVillanelle · 29/05/2019 13:29

There are forever products 'casually' on the table in the birthday party pic too
