CM's update.
"We are having some technical issues, so you are unable to order products, but that's not important..."
How telling. Pyramid scheme, anybody?

Hmm and headband bought a load of stock when she was there at weekend, do you think they're emptying the warehouse.

YouOKHun · 01/10/2024 16:42

@Twentytwentyhindsight 🤣😂.

If no internal purchases can happen to move money up the pyramid that does sounds quite important to me, but not as important as the now very challenging recruitment of fresh blood. They do need that collagen and wallpaper paste out of the warehouse and rotting in their bot-customers' garages and spare rooms up and down the land though. How are they supposed to maintain their 'debt free' status if the debt hasn't been passed to the bots?

Still, while the computer allegedly says 'no' HQ can get on with some dirty deletion and the bots can press on with the main activity of recruiting the unsuspecting. Every cloud and all that ...

Anyone think Scamaloupolis is getting his arse kicked this week?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 01/10/2024 16:47

I think the heavy brigade from Mormonland stopped by on their way to the currently much more profitable markets of France and Poland for exactly that purpose @YouOKHun

@PieonaBarm do not mock the protective energy of crystals! Here is a short list of how crystals can protect you:

HMRC at your door asking questions about loans? Screech at them for being negative. Chuck a pointy crystal at them and duck down behind your manifesting chair until the nasty people have gone.

Two policemen stop you on the M5 because you are not wearing a seatbelt? Chuck a large crystal at them while shouting, 'don't you know who I am??!! The law is for un-abundant crystal-less haterz! I'm going to tell my dad and heads will roll'.

Mr Yawn got above himself and uttered the words 'no'? Corner him and rain down upon him a veritable hailstorm of small rose quartz pebbles (smooth ones, she's not a sadist) until he comes to his senses.

These are just three examples of how crystals can get you what you want and protect you.

Have you seen the news that beach body is dumping the MLM business model?

MrsDilligaf · 01/10/2024 19:45

FLP has to be heading off a cliff. What happened to the "amazing" skincare which was the big huge thing a few months back? That's all gone very quiet.

Back in my Virgin Vie Bot days I was making money in my sleep (through sales not recruitment I might add...) because this was peak sales time for Christmas, but for FLP, this is when a lot of customers (existing and potential) are re-prioritising their spending ready for Christmas.

January was always dire. I imagine there are lots of Bots hanging on for the January Detox push. You'd think that by now, they'd realise.

Also - How has The Unlucky Girl Gang FB page got thousands of followers?

@Ciderisrosier I did see that and it reminds me of the kind of shift that we speculated might happen at FLP. I think it was in the spring. It seems as if the MLM model is just too much trouble for too little gain these days. There are other MLMs who have done a similar thing. And others in trouble for relying on MLM in a hostile and changed world (Avon, the late Tupperware company for example).

My favourite Yawn quote so far is ‘only positive energy can enter my space’

😂😂😂😂

She really is absurd!

YouOKHun · 01/10/2024 20:10

Yawn has a real problem. She's alienating the old audience with the exception of a few hangers on like Scotbot, and the new audience doesn't exist and won't grow from here because no one knows or cares about her woo coaching offering. She is about to find out the cold hard reality of not hiding behind a pyramid scheme.

She is clutching at straws with the sudden appearance of crystals. If she chucks enough woo and quasi-spiritual bollocks at this coaching business some will surely stick and give her content? What the fuck's she going to talk about next week to her audience, if both of them are still watching by then?

SnoogyWoo · 01/10/2024 20:21

Someone asks her about crystals and she says I’m learning and will share what I’m learning. Who the hell wants to pay someone who has just started learning about something.

Spongebobette · 01/10/2024 20:22

It’s the same for everything she’s offering - she’s only recently come across something and thinks she’s in a position to educate others about it

She’s going to talk about tidying up

Bloody hell, sign me up, Yawn. £22 a month sounds a bargain (for the entertainment value alone) 😁

Tidying up
crystals
law of attraction
manifesting
being badass

£22 a month to learn how to shoehorn the word "badass" into every sentence and to hear a re-hashed version of whatever Yawn's read about crystals from a quick Google🙄

Wow. Do these people walk among us?

@spongebobette well if she wants to talk about tidying up and needs a case study there is an HQ in a midlands county that may need decluttering. The list will be long and will provide content for quite a few hours. This is the list of likely decluttering tasks from HQ:

Hello Yawn

We are delighted you would like us to help with content and in due course we will invoice you for the content we are providing in allowing you into White Elephant house for your ‘decluttering for abundance and luuurve’ Live:

the removal and disposal of excess to requirements office staff. They are at least salaried so shouldn’t complain. Please place them outside with their P45s.

filing cabinets full of evidence of dodgy corporate conduct. Shred the contents obviously.

bottles of discarded half used products - to landfill

bottles of brand new untouched products also to landfill - could be quite a few trips.

smashed dinner plates in the manager’s office. These could be used for a mosaic top for the next upcycling project.

a manky tent, smells of disappointment. Bin it

lipstick scrawl on the mirror in the ladies bog that says “I ❤️ Bloodsucker”, that needs scrubbing off.

ditto “Bob is a knob” in biro on one of the cubical doors. It wasn’t big and it wasn’t clever, whoever did that.

The dingy office at the back which we’d all crammed into in the winter to keep warm is now full of boxes of collagen which even Headband didn’t buy. Please dispose of it safely, we don’t really know what’s in it.

please mop up the rivers of tears shed in recent weeks. The mop and bucket are in the under stairs cupboard with the bog rolls and unused success certificates which we were planning to use when the bog rolls ran out.

if you find a Greek man crying in the gents and downing two star Metaxa leave him for now, he’ll take himself out. He seems to be a bit unstable and is talking about driving to Droitwich in his bare feet rather like Alan Partridge did when his career took a downturn. He was mumbling about printing certificates saying ‘fuck you’ and driving them around. There may be some very unpleasant sandwiches in the tent, left over from a Misrepresentation Presentation so you could give those to him to keep him going until his taxi arrives.

if you come across the petty cash box please don’t declutter that as the contents is needed to make up some of the shortfall.

That’s it. Please leave the marigolds in the under stairs cupboard along with your dreams of entrepreneurship and a millionaire lifestyle and pull the door closed behind you when you leave.

Thanks for the link @YouOKHun , such comforting words from a huge MLM business:

”the multi-level marketing distribution model is outdated and unsustainable”

They talk about their transfer to an affiliate model. Would that be similar to the old fashioned Avon Lady type of business model I wonder?

No doubt a few “management” jobs for now for the top bots, but…..

……Ding Dong, Yawn calling.

SnoogyWoo · 02/10/2024 08:05

Wow looks like we are finally witnessing the fall of it all.

Sugarplum48 · 02/10/2024 08:18

In reality we all know yawn has again bought her followers for this scam. Just take a look at the people on the list. Classic bought bot accounts. She's such a clown.
