MLM Bot Watch 53: The saga continues...

[GoldenKelpie]

Starting a new thread on all things MLM!

oh bloody nora, this thing with Thomas Cook is an absolute gift for the bots; am bracing for millions of 'I'm so blessed to be in an industry where I can't be made redundant' SHITE

I’m with (was) with TC, doubt any decent travel agent will get sucked in to their shite. Sad day today

Really sorry about that @HairyPotter, the whole situation stinks. I really hope you are able to put your skills to good use elsewhere before too long.

I'm so sorry, that really sucks. Absolutely nothing I can say to make today any less awful for you.

Bots suck.

Ubers dress is lined with the hopes and dreams of her downline. I dont understand how someone like BishBashBot would leave Forever if its so amazing, they earned good money and had a great experience. At the very least they could run it part time.

PhD must be alienating everyone, her downline who she lied to and her upline who said all the things she now calls out in MLM. Unless she's pre-warned the upline that it's 'just marketing'.

Saw an old training by Castle where she states "if I lost all my team tomorrow, I would just build it again because I know how now".

PhD's persauded someone to join The Accelerator. She's congratulated the lucky individual for "betting on herself". An apt phrase given how casinos and bookmakers view their clients.

This whole 'don't be afraid to take a risk and follow your dreams' schtick has been used by sleazy high pressure salespeople for centuries. You have to be a bit gullible to not realise you're being manipulated.

Strangely in this case the punter is not named or tagged. Could be because they've requested anonymity, could be yet more fake-it-till-you-make-it from our thin-skinned business leader. Anyway, enjoy four grand's worth of hair flicking videos, whoever you are.

According to yawn, forever shite are doubling their income ( double nothing is still nothing tho).

What was Castle's BFF's cheque this year? Sad yoga mat?

She is staying in a spa hotel for 2 nights with FL leaders planning 2020 apparently. She spoke at a recent training event--many photos on her timeline.

Hilariously she has shared a petition to shut down online trolls, wanting to ban keyboard worriers.

I'm not worried hun.

Castle's BFF got a 13K sad yoga mat in Stockholm.

I believe all FL bots are currently worriers. If they're not, they should be...

Too right, Twenty. I'd be bloody worried in their shoes.

That typo tickled me. I'm not a keyboard WARRIOR - nobody else here is either. We're exposing you and the others for the liars you are. You are not successful, you do not own a business, you are certainly not helping others build a substantial income. Now feck off.

"you can double your income through recruitment..."

Looks like FL are going all in to drive recruitment, shows even more clearly that the business is based on recruitment and not product sales. Why not reward people for selling their product? I think we know the answer to that one...

Hopefully their swan song

Even more pressure to sign people up...

Within the last month I've had a JP devotee see me, regarding fertility.
She had a very low bmi, and when discussing the need to have a healthy weight I was informed that "it's not what [her] business is about".
Frankly. This terrifies me. As well as JP being high in vit A.
She has a referral on to another department but I'm so concerned for her. She desperately wants a child but her business is stopping her.

And that's without getting into maternity pay or anything.

I'm keeping this account as anon as possible, hence multiple nc, so there will be no chance of finding a patient.

Forever Living Products (UK) will be submitting their accounts to Companies House soon.

Should make interesting reading.

So the big double your money from forever is them doing a massive U turn. They have changed the new starters box back to 2cc after changing it to just over 1 cc. Clearly absolute desperation in FL head office

Panic stations I think

But wasn't the CC change to bring the UK in line with the rest of the world? And wasn't it really unfair that the UK had that extra CC value for it's starter pack?

I mean, those were the reasons, apparently, that it changed in the first place. How can those things no longer be relevant?!

Ffs bff away from the kids because of forever.. I thought she could do everything and miss nothing.

What a liar she is.

A friend of mine has just lost her job with tc.
Even worse she and her husband have exchanged but not yet completed on a newbuild house so if the mortgage company do a data match for tc staff they will lose their 30k deposit and possibly get sued as they won't be able to complete on the house. Desperately worrying times for them

I wonder whether the backtracking on the 2cc's will be linked to the signing off of their accounts - something positive to put in the director's report about future developments and positive outlook.

Here are the approx sign ups per year from the accounts (if my maths is right for 2015/16)... fully expecting further drop for 2018.

68k 2015
36k 2016
12k 2017

There is a video on UK leader’s forever living page about the box being 2cc now. So cringeworthy. Leech was the instigator of it apparently.

Nope... that decision has definitely been made in worried board rooms and not because the company is 'soooo generous'.

I predict an absolute crash in turnover for 2018. New business recruits are key to the turnover, and they need decent carry in of last year's new recruits (which dwindled in 2017). I predict at least a halving of turnover in 2018 vs 2017.

Definitely dazzler. I’m looking forward to the results

Yes, the CCs to recruit were reduced to 1CC because the UK had an advantage over other countries when it was 2 CC

Presumably the top bots are blaming that change for the huge downturn in recruitment and the consequent lack of cheques

Not on the fact that it’s a HUGE PYRAMID SCHEME WHICH RELIES ON RECRUITMENT NOT SALES.

I think we may have underestimated just how much trouble FLP are in.

This is huge that they are doing that. They still need the new recruits though, and that is where the issue is. £200 is also a lot of money to spend out, other MLM's are cheaper to buy into.

What is even sweeter about this is that FLP UK, which is going down the pan, actually rose in the FLP global performance ranking from 5th to 3rd this year, meaning the whole of Rexy's empire is in deep doo-doo.
