Bot-watching into 2020. Hoping it's a good year for all (and the end of MLMs - Hey, a girl can dream!)

Wonder what their strategy will be when the house of cards collapses? I wonder if they’ll disappear? A lot of the bots I remember a few years ago who were managers and had sacked the boss have removed all reference to Forever from their social media, shut down their Forever online shops and have either got jobs or poured all their energy into real businesses which they had before Forever shills got their claws into them. They must be so ashamed of being sucked in - but those further up the tree are so manipulative.

Someone showed me lanzabot’s monkey see monkey do training video circa 2015 - that was a masterpiece of manipulation! Didn’t she lose most of the managers featured in that video? One of her managers used to amuse us by contributing to these threads - I suspect she was drunk. She once compared us to IS! Grin #beheadthebots

They'll lie, they'll play victim, they'll do whatever they need to do to make sure that they don't feel like the bad guy.

They'll still be celebrities and great business women in their minds but unless Ant and Dec are inviting them to the jungle they'll remain irrelevant to the real world.

hunzuncovered · 01/01/2020 23:13

Oooh maybe there's a new show right there.

They have to admit they don't own their own business to get out of drinking kangaroo dick and aloe smoothies.

Hmmm John Lewis bot has qualified for a cheque but no mention of the fact that her company is in so much debt - she has even defaulted on the agreement she made to pay a monthly amount and she’ll have to pay any money she gets in a bonus this year straight to HMRC

Spongebobette · 02/01/2020 02:52

I reckon that Uber channeled CCs through her to help herself get to Level 3
John Lewis bot just doesn’t have the money to do if herself

Uber's gushing fb post

YOU SET THE GOAL AND NAILED It! Feeling a little emotional and just want to reach out and say thank you to you all for your hard work, dedication, consistency, belief and focus! You are all incredible people and have worked your socks off this year some of you have had to dig really deep through personal challenges but you never gave up. At times there were waves of self doubt for some of you at different times but working together and supporting each other you have all nailed our company incentive and shown yourselves and everyone else what you are capable of! Sydney is calling us in May and your bonus cheques to reward your efforts will be given out. Just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart as I wouldn’t have done my 9 th annual cheque without you guys achieving yours. You all inspire me to stay focused and keep on building my dreams on a daily basis. Thank you to all of our teams and wonderful customers around the world. Huge congrats to everyone else in the Forever world that have achieved theirs too - what an amazing company! Here’s to a new decade of fun, laughter, making memories and helping others xxx

🤑🤢🤮

Thank you Jasmine for starting the new fred!

Hunz, I am so sorry to hear about your fl experience. It mirrors many, many others, sadly.

I hope 2020 brings a close to this extremely stressful time. Have all your friends returned to you, thankful that you have ditched this insidious, destructive business model.

hunzuncovered · 02/01/2020 09:40

Every friend has let me back in their good books.

I still have friends that are in mlm, they believe they're doing good because they're earning money but really little thought for how they're making it and at what cost to downlines. A few of these are nice people in a conversation not related to MLM but when it comes to MLM they don't see the flaw and it'll always be the fault of the downline not working it hard enough.

I was in at the height of the FOREVER cheques and watched it decline. People that have joined any MLM in the last three years won't understand how it changed so quickly. When I started, money was everywhere, posts about new starters in teams sprawled across Facebook, everyday you'd see promotions in all the MLMs because it was new (I'd honestly never heard of it MLM when I joined, I thought it was a legit thing) but I do mean DAILY.

It doesn't happen anymore, in fact we see evidence that the monies dropping, the weird desperate old posts been reshared to show people what they once achieved but acting like it's still like that. I feel bad for the newer bots sounding off about people who quit are angry failures when they have no idea how it's changed because they look like fools.

They can be quite clever with promotions now, because everyone starts the month back at zero they'll share promotions they hit over the following month again to make it look like people are still climbing when in fact they're just chasing last months dream. I know, because I did it and had people join me off the back of it.

Yawn is offering a spa day as a team incentive ‘just for doing their job’

Very clever way of getting them to work hard (and possibly cheat by buying stock themselves) - well worth it to get, she’ll easily cover the cost of a spa day when her minions all try to outdo each other. And she gets the benefits of increased CCs in her team.

Why they can’t see through this is a mystery to me. Don’t buy the extra C9 to please Yawn, minions, just buy your own spa day

Spongebobette · 02/01/2020 11:14

Worth it *for her

thetemptationofchocolate · 02/01/2020 11:34

To make it in mlm and stay up top you have to be driven by greed, ego, pathological lying and there are definitely traits of narcissism.

hunz this is so true. And also hopeful for the majority of humanity, if you look at it from the other side. If 99% of people quit MLM then they must lack these personality disorders. They are at heart too nice for the bizniz :)

thetemptationofchocolate · 02/01/2020 11:37

Also, have you noticed the Freudian slip on Uber's fb post? - she was apparently partying, seeing in a new debacle.

CodenameVillanelle · 02/01/2020 11:39

Grin a new debacle

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/01/2020 11:49

May Uber's debacle be the mother of them all!

9dartfinish2nd · 02/01/2020 12:03

@hunzuncovered Thank you for sharing your story, I find it fascinating and encouraging hearing the stories of people like yourself who finally see the light. Sadly my bots are still very much lost to this industry and are yet to realise the consquences of what their involvment in MLM has had for their families and those closest to them. I reckon they will be dealing with the fallout for years to come after the penny finally drops.

Spongebobette · 02/01/2020 12:08

Nurse is doing a ‘meet the team’ every day on Insta. They are all Yawn’s downline, not hers. And it’s clear from the style and poor punctuation that Yawn wrote the text.
All give the impression that the teamies are doing really well. Yeah, right.
Presumably because Nurse hasn’t any interesting content of her own she’s just pasting stuff from Yawn

9dartfinish2nd · 02/01/2020 12:12

It’s like that awful bot said in the documentary about enticing people to join - find their weak spot

The very same bot who was due to have filed her first companies house records by 22nd October 2019, Still nothing filed and I suspect this will be quietly allowed to dissolve by HMRC like they do with so many bots failed Ltd Co's.

They truly have no shame - Parading a bot who is in default to HMRC and a company in liquidation as a success and one to admire and applaud.

Do you think the bots actually know of this? Or how to use companies house? I hope HMRC take a hardline on her this time and take it all off her.

They really are pond life

acatcalledjohn · 02/01/2020 13:41

Thanks for the new fred!

Happy New Year you beautiful bunch of negferrets!

Bloody hell @hunzuncovered, that is some tale of woe. Thank you for sharing and well done for getting out.

Dave o'Conman is back to conning people this New Year with a 3 Day Mindset Mastery Kickstart Challenge.

He needs a Kickinthehead more than a Kickstart.

Spongebobette · 02/01/2020 13:50

Mindset Mastery

Brainwashing Bollocks

willdoitinaminute · 02/01/2020 14:13

Yawn has just posted about one of her “friends”. How do these intelligent career women fall for the utter bullshit she peddles. On what level does peddling snake oil trump being a head teacher.

9dartfinish2nd · 02/01/2020 15:18

You wonder how long it will take for all the mindset guru's like Dave and Ninja to turn on each other now that there are so many of them competing for the attention of the MLM huns. I've said it on here before but the Ninja Networker has been very shrewd in not tying himself to one particular MLM to coach, he's forged relationships with higher profile bots from all the more well known MLM's and appears to be reaping the benefit, you can see the level of engagement he has on each of his facebook posts to see that people are falling over themselves for his particular brand of bullshit.
