@Spongebobette

I think it’s her son
In her other live the male voice told her she looks cute on the swing so I assumed boyfriend

I am just gonna call her Wafflebot Grin

I see LanzaBot is following the current FL trend to delete most of their old Facebook posts.

BSintolerant · 27/04/2021 20:29

Lanzabot must be taking her own highly original coaching advice that MLM is a “monkey see, monkey do” business.

NoVowels sniffing does my head in.

It reminds me of when my DC were little and I'd be forced to grab a tissue and make them blow their nose in it.

She says in one live 'you won't have heard me sniffing on my lives because I take bee pollen'
Spongebobette · 27/04/2021 22:32

Poor old Nurse. Plugging away. Insta story (copied from Yawn) about all these women who’ve sacked the boss and are at home making more than a full time income from FL
She must wonder why she’s not one of them

fromdownwest · 28/04/2021 09:26

Castle ironically slamming people who promise the earth.

She says, ask for proof of results before you join a business.

The irony!

Imagine if every top FL bot had to publish their P&L sheets!

BotOff · 28/04/2021 10:06

Ok Castle let’s see your proof! Oh, that’s right if you had to be truthful for once in your life people would know that you only got to where you are by BUYING Manager for family and friends! Yep you were very clever indeed with the strategy you had and then of course being FLP Poster girl milking the death of those brave police women to gloss your story up too! Oscar worthy for sure playing the sweet little blonde when truth is you are a ruthless bitch! But then you would have to be to sit high in a pyramid knowing full well you are making money at the expense of others losing theirs! Absolutely disgusting your ‘fake success’ and it’s a known fact that many that know you from your days as a policeman are utterly disgusted too! Fake and gross sums you up perfectly 🤢

acatcalledjohn · 28/04/2021 10:10

Castle famously had two videos circulating shortly after giving birth to her eldest. One was promotional about how it was so easy to fit FL in to pockets of time around your family, and the other was a more truthful account of how hard she had to work, she was driving down to meetings days after giving birth.

She is a lying, scheming piece something not very nice.

I'm looking forward to the day she has to take a real job in addition to her husband's delivery driving. I doubt the police would have her back.

Also YawnBot, I bet Uber stacked the cc’s under you to push that cheque through hey? Shame she hasn’t been such an amazzzzing friend other years and done it and also given you the recruits to qualify you too! Oh wait! She didn’t back then as there were more superstars around and obviously only stacking you now as desperate.... and of course it gets her a cheque too. Jeez 🙄 such genuine friendships in the world of mlm sign me 😂

I will be back with more snippets (I have lots) when not so busy so, keep watching Yawn 😘😘😘

@BotOff - I'm ordering the popcorn already!

Does she genuinley belive the tripe that is spouted, does she genuiely believe that all the FL bots are earning six figures?

I do wonder what level of Cognitive Dissonance is at play with this lot.

The irony is the lower level bots aspire to be the top bots, some of who are bankrupt and not paying HMRC their backdated tax. Those are the successful ones!

Spongebobette · 28/04/2021 11:17

I am here for @BotOff’s revelations

Article in The Guardian on 24th about Thermomix.

I'm here with my popcorn @BotOff

grumpytoddler1 · 28/04/2021 14:04

Did you used to be in FL @botoff?

I think it's clear there was some buying of positions going on in the Castle family. Since the mum was in FL for about 7 minutes, miraculously reached manager instantly, and then immediately 'retired'.

This was presumably done in order to push Castle up to the next level. I think you'd have to buy several thousand pounds worth of product to do that. So the pay increase from Castle getting the promotion must have been pretty sizeable to be worth it.

Spongebobette · 28/04/2021 14:32

Pretty sure the top bots have spreadsheets working out how to position people and how much product to funnel through them to maximise promotions and Chairman’s Bonus
So if you start with ‘investing’ a lot of cash you can end up getting a good return - although I suspect that was only possible if you got in to the scheme pre 2016

imabothunter · 28/04/2021 16:18

The issue with "buying" CC's looked good from the outside, to gain a position or larger cheque as some of them did back in the glory years for the UK. What most of the bots didn't realise is that the more you bought in one year to elevate you to success, or a bonus cheque would mean in order to stay at that position or to receive another cheque the following year - you would have to invest that again and much much more in products...
As we found out - a lot of them simply ran out of cash and their businesses tanked - because the sign ups didn't stick around or loads made very little money. Only bots with deeper pockets survived - some of those with mega cheques spent the cash to maintain the lifestyle!
Probably why the UK fell so low in the rankings in the years that followed. The only winners in all of this were the FL top brass who gained either way as products was moved off the shelves.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/04/2021 18:47

Yes, Uber has a reputation as one of the most egregious FL bots in terms of funnelling recruits and CCs to achieve chairman's Bonus. All well and good for her when the overall business is actually growing, although all money made is still that siphoned out of the lower bots' pockets.

Two problems though- it is an expensive operation, the products purchased through judiciously chosen downlines are the ones that end up mouldering in garages awaiting purchase on eBay or FB marketplace (and never find a buyer), so never actually get 'retailed'- they are literally bought to achieve the bonus and then chucked out. That takes a serious chunk out of the top bot's 'income' as well as their headline cheque.

Secondly, when things get tight overall, the opportunities for doing this remain just as expensive, even as there are fewer bots to do this through and less money to fund it.

@BotOff is quite right, it is a sign of shrinking new blood that has forced Uber to revert to Yawn as one of her funnels. Uber's seriously diminished cheque came at the expense of buying Yawn's and is probably much, much less if you look at what it cost...

I thought the UK drop was also down to bots elsewhere complained that a UK starter pack cost less in the UK (some local regulation in sign up fees) but still equalled 2 CCs for the upline. So FL made it so UK starter packs were less than 2 CC, making it harder to hit CC targets. I seem to remember the top bots were fuming at the imposed change (cos it's your own business right hun?) whilst also trying to spin it as a positive update.
Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/04/2021 22:26

@terrywynne - isn't that the change that Homeschool blamed for her bankruptcy decision to pursue other business opportunities?
