The vid man says is because Indonesia is strict about 'income claims'

Clearly the whole country is fucked off with MLMS as he also said they are any event allowed to sell half their stuff there.

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 08:34

Why the hell did they choose Bali then?

BSintolerant · 02/04/2023 08:46

So Indonesia is strict about income claims? Maybe someone with links to that part of the world can enlighten us. If Forever Living bots believe that they are indeed brainwashed. I suspect FL can sell whatever it likes in Indonesia but it may not be cost effective to ship out product which nobody wants to buy. Perhaps Indonesia has strict laws about what can and cannot be stored in garages. Times must be very hard. Are the flappy pigeons coming home to roost at last?

Notice castle is explaining how she created her planner business to her students. Not convinced I'd take advice on setting up an actual business from her guessing the actual advice is dump all the shite on an unwilling partner 😭😭

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 10:13

And that particular ‘income stream’ resulted in piles and piles of unsold planners (Bruv, with his usual tact, showed them on a live one day and mini turret was allowed to use them to draw in)

and overdue accounts at Companies House

and the company about to be struck off

and £70k of Directors’ loans owed

so how she can have the cheek to pretend to be an example of success??? Bare faced lies as usual

Ohnonevermind · 02/04/2023 10:25

@Spongebobette

All those planners with the wrong dates on them according to castle. That was one years revenue down the pan as she didn’t check the final draft she sent to the printers

a fundamental error. If you have the attention span of a goldfish you put in procedures to pick up on mistakes, she just gets her parents to write a cheque instead

These are fundamentals in business - checks and balances - castle doesn’t want to do the boring stuff

Otherwise she’d have a successful business and her parents wouldn’t be living in a caravan

Why the hell did they choose Bali then?

My guess is whatever pillock organising it didn't do their due dil, and when it came to arranging the gala night, discovered quite quickly that a parade of cheques was off the table. Makes you wonder how many of the higher level bots won't bother going now, and will just take the cash alternative instead?!

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 11:19

Good point - one of the main reasons for going is the photo on stage with the cheque - provides social media content for the next year and attracts new recruits

Ohnonevermind · 02/04/2023 12:56

I find those claims about Indonesia a bit hard to swallow.

Something is definitely going on.

NormalForNuneaton · 02/04/2023 12:58

Or was it a deliberate tack by FL?

If the cheques are, quite frankly, shit then FL won't really want bots to be parading them all over the stage and all over social media.

Some of the brainwashed and blinkered bots might not notice the significant drops in amounts but FL know that there are bot watchers , critics and maybe some FL bots (who are getting wise to the fact they're being scammed ), out there that will notice and flag this up.

Japan has about 1/3 of the total global leadership team.
One Japanese couple with 25k credits ahead of the German couple at 20k

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/04/2023 13:21

I'm sure a lot of bots would have been happier to take the 2 grand alternative to 3 days of 'trainings' sandwiched between long cramped flights if they'd known they wouldn't get the chance to parade a cheque in front of their 'prospects' and downlines, but the deadline for claiming the 'opt-out allowance' was back in January Grin

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 13:46

Oh ha ha

Beetlekiwi · 02/04/2023 13:59

Was there not a similar situation last year in Abu Dhabi? Something about the presidents death meant they weren’t allowed to show
off they’re cheques out of respect?

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 14:11

Yes that’s right, they had to massively tone down the ‘celebrations’ they usually have on the final night after the king died, so no loud music or fireworks

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/04/2023 14:14

That's right, there was no countdown roll-call to number 1. They were all just handed their cheques and told they could have their pictures taken with them if they wanted to, but strangely not many U.K. bots availed themselves if this opportunity...

Lol, if it's too late to take the money and run and there's not going to be an on-stage cheque opportunity then maybe the ones that go will just think "fuck it" and go sight-seeing and to the beach/pool instead of those horrendous indoor "training events"

Be interesting to see if the venue looks a bit sparse

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 14:39

Yes, the awful enforced enthusiasm

I remember the Swedish one and all the bots filming themselves trying to look as though they were having the time of their lives and it looked AWFUL

spanfan · 02/04/2023 15:52

And the bbq rodeo in arizona 🤣🤣🤣🤣

spanfan · 02/04/2023 15:53

Or wherever it was. 🤣😎

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 16:06

Basically they are locked into a venue and ordered to whoop

Ohnonevermind · 02/04/2023 16:51

Queueing to buy FL mugs, showing them as the mugs

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/04/2023 16:55

And the obligatory 'Twats in Hats' event.

Spongebobette · 02/04/2023 17:00

Oh lol yes boys queuing to pay for some tat with the company logo on which should be given for free
