MLM Bot Watch 65: Get your bikini-bod for your Inteletravel holiday here!

New Fred.

Travel boom, anyone?

She’ll palm them off on her downline as ‘incentives’

At least the photo frame is from a British co. Makes a change from her on a loop pics of (boring)pooches. Not checked if any other bots have got the same.

@stockpilingallthecheese obviously the teddy bear is going to wear the dog tag. I don’t think cheap and nasty is Yawn’s thing. Sadly personalised items cannot be palmed off on down line.

@Bluewavescrashing a personalised dog tag, a teddy bear, a pamphlet about all her amazing benefits, a photo frame (one of the better items) and a plant. And hilariously I think it’s probably... an Aloe plant!!!!

Also she thinks it's so amazing to be sent this stuff - I get gifts (some good others more tat-like ) from my company and suppliers as well! It's not unique to FLP!!

I searched her profile and there is someone of that name whose surname begins with a G - is that the one she signed up under?

Lots of anti MLM sentiment here:

I feel really sorry for Nurse. She must spend a fortune on the products and she gets very little engagement at all. Has she said recently that she's given up her job? Or gone part time? Do we know what 'level' she is at with FL?

I assume nurse gets some top ups as she's a lone parent working part time.

I can't believe that Nurse went and added the £25 lavender oil to her order after Yawn posted about it.

She's just so desperate to please her.

I don't I'm afraid, she knows full well whoever joins her team isn't going to make any money and yet she'd be more than happy to recruit them so she can line her own pockets and climb the ranks of FL.

Nurse is a Supervisor I think.

Nurse keeps saying her business has allowed her to go part time recently but I'm pretty sure she's been working part time since she returned after having the kid.

We know she's not making much because she does a live unboxing of every order and 90% is clearly for her. Her recent one was about £150 of stuff and included one deodorant and one facial thingy for 'errrr....a customer' and the rest was her stocking up.

Nurse is so far down the rabbit hole that I can't see her giving it up. She's spent so much already, but believes success is just round the corner. She's kidding herself. I think around this time last year she had a couple of months where she sold some product, not a lot but more than a couple of cheap bits, and recruited 2 people, a random and her cousin I think. She got a taste of 'success' which spurred her on. Since then it's been pretty dire though, basically paying to play shop.

The sad thing is I think Nurse perseveres because she feels that being in FL means that she "belongs" somewhere.

She never seems to post about friends or have any interaction with "real" people. She hardly ever mentions family.

What has she got apart from her PT nursing job and her son?

Yes, Nurse is playing shop and desperately trying to please Yawn, her upline
It’s tragic
She has been part time nursing since mat leave and accidentally exposed the fact she’s on Universal Credit a few months ago (by showing her laptop screen)
She claims that FL will allow her to leave her job this year. Yawn even got them all writing resignation letters as an exercise last year - so brainwashy.
there is absolutely NO WAY she will create enough income to replace her current income and support herself and her son. No way at all.
But she keeps on drinking the kool aid

Nurse and many others like her is why MLMs should be illegal.

I don't know how the top bots sleep at night, I really don't, they know some lowly bots don't have two pennies to rub together but they tell them to keep plugging away at it, shocking.

Total exploitation.

All those products in Nurse's house. Every time she brushes her teeth, washes her hands, has a shower she sees the forever logo. It's creepy.

And how much has she spent!

Ironic that the Mars rover is named Perseverance. I note that she has no interaction with anyone.
As I haven’t read all the earlier threads what’s the story regarding her son.I note no partner is ever mentioned.

She had an IVF pregnancy (presume donor). She's very open about that on social media. One of her 'why's was apparently to have IVF again. Not gonna happen while she spunks all her cash on aloe gunk :(

This is what I find so evil about the strategies used by MLMs - when they first get their hooks into you they get you to identify your ‘why’ - something so important to you that if you ever waver or think of giving up they can tug at that string to pull you back in line
So for Nurse, it’s her precious little boy. Her devotion to him is now linked in her mind to her devotion to Forever Living

Similarly, the ‘goal board’ that they are encouraged to create, full of their dreams, means that giving up on the business equates to giving up on their dreams

She’s not mentioned further IVF recently, but it was definitely one of her goals
So failing / giving up the business meant, in her mind, giving up the chance of another child
How awful is that!

Can you not get IVF in the NHS ?

@FranceTeam that's how she got her current child. She's used that option already

PP have it. The only interaction she gets is from other huns in her up line team. It was clear a few years back that she had a number of best pals she used to mention a lot that we never hear of anymore. She's got a new Hun based 'bestie' who she has never met in real life and the proper friends never make an appearance anymore.

As PPs have said, this is now her reality of feeling wanted and if she leaves the MLM she'll be dropped and left with quite a bleak existence.
