Hello,
I partner with a company which allows me to be able to work from anywhere.
I'm currently looking for motivated, coachable, and passionate people to join
me. My company focuses on wellness and environmentally friendly products. We
are a debt free, privately owned company with an A+ rating with the BBB. If
you are looking for a real opportunity to make an unlimited amount of residual
income, and you're willing to put in the time and energy to make it happen,
then I would like to speak with you.
This opportunity does not involve keeping product inventory, hosting parties,
selling products, or taking payments. I will only work with people who are
serious about building a business or just interested in using safer, healthier
products in their home.
Not interested in building a business? That's okay too. If you are interested in
getting healthier and using chemical free, nontoxic products and supplements,
then you could also benefit. I am passionate about helping people get healthy,
so if that describes you or anyone you know, then you too, can feel free to
contact me. I'd be happy to give you more information about transforming your
own home and health to better, safer, wellness products.
Please email me at expressionsofwellness@gmail.com if you would like to learn
more. (Please, NO spam emails)
Sales, not required, product inventory not required, taking payments not required, hosting parties not required, experience not required - just a passion for health and residual income, right? Hmmm. What's the monitary investment "required" to partake in this? Bet you can't or won't disclose that publically, huh? Hmmm. Taking a wiff right now, and this smells like yet another pyramid scheme. Good luck guys.
Seriously, are people so gullible that casting lines out here results in catching
fish?
What I find particularly offensive is that this poster comes to a community, doesn't take time to get to know any of us, then spams up and asks for no spam in return. Even if the offer itself sounded great, that alone would be a turn-off for me. We're not good enough to be interacted with, but we're supposed to be easy targets to get money and numbers from. How many people does it take before the original poster will be able to move up to the next level in the pyramid? Ah, and yes. "Put it on the zone, since those idiots will fall for anything."
I have heard this all before, and it is all the business speak of companies that do end up
selling these health products. No sales? Yeah, right.
Prove me wrong and post what this is really all about. And tell me more about you while
you're at it, since you want to be my business "partner".
I find it particularly funny that they claim to be selling things that are
chemical free. The only thing that has no chemicals is nothing. Everything that
has ever existed or will ever exist is made of chemicals. So they must be selling
nothing.
Actually...I have been around this community for a very long time. I just don't
post publicly often because I choose not to get myself involved in any of the
drama that this place revolves around. The reason I posted here is to try to
help some of those who I know struggle with getting employment, because I
know how hard it can be...I'm an honest, person who is not in this to make
money. My passion is helping people get healthy and I've actually made quite a
bit of money without putting out much startup at all. And if you want a company
where you can make money without putting energy into building relationships
with others or spending anything to get something, then you're just lazy, and
you're exactly the type of person that I don't want to work with. So please,
before you judge someone or their attempts to help others, take a look within
yourself, and ask yourself why you're the way you are and where you are...the
answer probably isn't too far from your fingertips...literally
But your add said that whoever takes this job won't have to sell anything,
keep product or host parties. So, tell us, what is your business model for selling
these mysterious things that are not made out of the base for every piece of
matter on the face of the planet?
Here are a couple of other ads that I've come across while browsing the job board.
My name is Laurel and I'm looking for people interested in joining my Wakeupnow team. There's a way to do it without paying monthly out of pocket
expenses, and even a way to do it free until you have your team under you. You
can, with right planning and my help, make $600 in residual income a month.
Please message me or write if interested. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
we are looking for self-motivated individuals with a strong work ethic to expand our team.
We represent an established 11 year old successful company in a growing area of industry and we're currently scheduling telephone interviews for both full-time and part-time positions. This job is home based, all you need is internet access and a telephone line. On the job training is provided.
You can schedule and manage your time around your family while making a solid income.
For questions, or to schedule an interview, feel free to contact me.
So you see, we have several wonderful opportunities available to us, and faced with so many choices, it's hard to make a really good sound decision. What do you bring to the table that these other posters don't?
You're not giving us anything to go on, and then it's suddenly our fault when we question it. You know the zone is full of negative drama-filled people, which is the very type of people you don't want working for you. In light of that, what made you decide to post here? It's honorable that you want to help others. I don't mind putting in the time, and even a bit of money, but I would at least like to know what I'm getting. If you hear a commercial on TV, and it says, "Get help today! We'll get you on the right track. call the number on your screen to get started!" What would your reaction be? With so many scams out there, and a lot of people living on government income with nothing to spare, I think it's actually pretty wise that we question not only the product, but the motive as well. The defensiveness just makes me wonder all the more, although I do understand the whole kneejer reaction, and typing before taking the chance to figure out how to convey a message.
A few years ago, Mom called me, all excited! Someone had called her and let her know that they could lower her visa and mastercard interest rates to a permanent 6.9 percent. All they needed was a valid card number, so they could verify her identity, and permition to charge some money to the card, as a processing fee. I expressed my skepticism and she got quite upset with me. I think we've all experienced the Rachael or Heather that is calling about your current creditcard account. There is currently not a problem with your credit card. It's offering you the chance to lower your rates. Please consider this your final notice. Of course, that was 248 calls ago from them. My point being, if you say you've got this golden blessing to bestow upon individuals who are willing to coff up the cash and invest the time, but dont' tell us what the company is, then sure, we'll question it.
We are a debt free, privately owned company with an A+ rating with the BBB. That's all well and good, but what's the company, so we can check it out? You say you're not in this to make money, but if you post the name of the business publically, are you afraid someone will get in to the business and not use your referral?
Hmmm. Ok. Here's my idea of helping someone. I mean, genuinely helping them. Step one: Become their friend. Step 2: give them advice. Step 3: give them a resource. Step four: do something nice for them. I dont' know... throw them a bone? motivate them?
This is preposterous... You say you want to help people, but really, you're just trying to help yourself, because the next person that plays into your sales pitch will earn you a bit more money on top of what you already made. Yes, maybe it's a simbiotic relationship... who am I to say. But come on. Don't paint yourself out to be the humble warrior of the poor and the pitiful so you can earn another buck or two. Or a hundred.
I'm sorry; but right now, I'm working from home. I have been doing so for a few years, on and off. I am a hardworking, nonlazy skeptic, and yet I've never had to spend a dime to gain access to my work at home opportunity. Hey, say, do you want to be my business partner? In fact, for a few months now, I've been working on a way for people to work alongside me, and guess what? Neither I nor they will ever have to put in a startup investment. No. I'm not mocking you, I'm actually serious. Some people on this thread know exactly what I'm talking about... and the reason I'm sarcastically schrowding this work-at-home method of mine in mystery is to show you how ridiculous your ad is.
What's your company? we dont' know.
What do you sell? we dont' know.
Who are you, actually? we dont' know.
Why do you say you don't sell anything and then contradict yourself in a sentence or two? We dont' know.
What's this "little to know" startup cost you mentioned briefly? we dont' know.
I'm sorry. but when you enter a business partnership, even the biggest dimwits know that the partner have to be a lot more forthcoming than that. There are no secrets between partners, my friend. And yet...
Yes guys, strangers with no business experience who will likely start up drama and remain lazy, come be my business partners. Never mind what the business is. Wouldnt' it be cool to say to yourself that you're in business? In a healthy business at that? Come on. Let's get pumped up! Come on, we'll discuss how much of your SSI check you'll have to fork over later on, when you're sold on this non-selling job I have here for you..
Right. uh huh.
Now, ok, no offense to you. Because I know you were "coached" by the company you, uh, work for. I know they outfitted you with tried and true marketing terminology, they taught you how to sell this, uh, helth nonchemical that you aren't really selling, and they taught you how to defend it all against backlash.
I bet you're a nice person. A decent person who was once underpaid and overstressed, and you needed a desperate way up and out. And you were, ahem, coachable, so you got roped in.
Let us know when you're done being brainwashed. We'll be interested to find out how the pyramid falls.
Which is why I posted my direct email address so that serious people who do
want to learn more can do so. I don't need to share lucrative details with people
who have no potential interest. So from this point on, anyone who is seriously
interested in becoming a leader, and getting involved in an actual business,
please feel free to email me and I'll schedule an overview with you. Aside from
that, good luck to the rest of you.
Serious people would respond if you had provided a company name.
Scams are getting smarter, but still. No company name, lots of people won't apply.
Anthony, I hear ya on the credit card problem. People are usually vulnerable when times are tough. And we are not born skeptics, we must learn it for ourselves. It's a discipline of mind, and though many talk of being skeptical, they don't know how to do the follow-up to verify this stuff.
It's hard to dissuade a family member also.
Serious people? Don't you mean serious fools?
Who in the world, that is looking for a real job, would be swayed by this alure you're presenting here? This mysterious treasure with no name, no summary.. Lucrative details. Right. that speaks for itself.
The only people that fall for this ploy are the dreamers, guys. I know this filosophy in and out. The person thinks: yeah, I seriously want to make money. I'm a serious person. Screw the other people who keep telling me something's a scam. And so this serious person becomes a coachable person, which really translates into becoming a sheep, and the hampster wheel keeps on spinning, ladies and gents. lol.
Oh, and about that email you claim is evidence of you being on the up and
up. Most companies don't use gmail for their company emails. And how can it
be your personal email if the name on the account is the name of the company?
I am genuinely curious what company this is you work for. You could not even provide that. What harm would there be in providing the name of your company so that the rest of us could google it? If there's some reason you're unable to provide even that, then there's definitely a huge problem! This whole thing just scream scam, and you have not done anything to prove otherwise. If it were above board, I wish you would. I would be one of those so-called serious people, if you posted something that proved this was legitimate. Unfortunately, all your posts have done is make it look more and more like the scam I'm 99.9% sure that it is. Oh well.
Ok, I googled it. The only company I could find that was even close to the
name of this one was nurishing expressions. Which is not accredited by the
better business bureau. So, I'd put money on this being a scam.
I am sorry, original poster, but nowadays we are wise to the world of multi level
marketing, we have all sat through one or more of these types of pitches, and the
economy is such that we are prudent with our hard earned dollars, whether we receive
SSI, work, or are otherwise financially blessed. I will contact you and listen to your pitch
with an open mind, if you post who this company is so I can do my research first. Please
know that I am wise as to how companies such as Amway or Melaleuca work,as I have
been approached by these before, so I will be a rational person when listening to your
pitch, but in the off chance that this is a legitimate opportunity, which I highly doubt, I will
give you the decency of listening to your pitch if you introduce the company here first. I
think that is more than fair.
Hse can't introduce the company. if she did, you'd just go and sign up through someone else and she'd lose her share in your bout of gullibility. lol.
MLM is not all bad.
There are a few honest companies out there--I know because my family is involved in 2 of them.
However, I do agree this sounds totally fishy.
No name, no description--and please, no matter how you phrase it, everyone sells something.
Oh, and every single business I've ever come across likes to say its A+ when its not even on the list, or worse yet, has a D+!
I know MLM isn't all bad. Mary Kay is MLM, and they have good products. I believe Tupperware is the same way. It's not simply that this is MLM that sets off the red flags for me, it's that the original poster gives no real information, and makes promises that simply can't be true.
It's hard enough to make MLM work if you believe in the product and delivery system, and can show how it works. I sold knives back in the early 90s, got high marks for the demonstrations, but my sales ability was nill. Also some of you all probably remember I did Solavei for a short while. That is a no-contract cell phone system on the back of T-Mobile's networks. Again, I'm not a good salesperson, even if I can explain the concepts reasonably well. I had far more technical knowledge about the industry than many in the "upline" or peers, but they were way better at marketing and doing blogs and such. Also, your product may get bumped right out of the market. Solavei is still a thing, but it's not that big a deal since you can get an iPhone and a T-Mobile plan for just a couple dollars more a month. They were $49/month plus phone if you bought one of theirs, and T-Mobile is $50 or so per month, plus you now can buy the phone using installments. And StraightTalk went through an upgrade to support way more towers.
So you just have to bear that sort of thing in mind: your product you are prepared to sell may be good, but be priced out of the market, or innovated out of the market. I know part of selling MLM is sellig the MLM concept, something I never did very well at.
You're going to be selling, or setting up websites that sell, or ssetting up a brand and promoting it.
Anyway anyone wanting to present a concept for you to get involved with, should be able to explain things clearly and understand the market they're getting you into. Not just the market but answer technical questions, or point you to resources, IMHO. But then again, I was not a success, and knew enough to jump out before having lost anything substantial.
After the benefit of hindsight, I agree that MLM is not all bad. I would like to largely
retract my comments in post 18, I do not necessarily believe in the products sold by the
companies mentioned, but do agree that there are leigitimate MLM businesses out there
that make sense and sell great products. I do agree wholeheartedly with post #21, thank
you Alicia for stating your points in a clear way that really gets to the heart of how I feel
about this post without needing to malign all MLM businesses, of which the two she
mentions are decent and reputable companies.
sorry, but those reputable companies are only reputable because they sell a
product people want. Multi-level business practices are, by their nature,
exploitative and dishonest to the workers. It just works with those two
companies, and a few others, because of pure dumb luck. It doesn't make them
good or wholesome companies. A good test for finding out the difference is this.
Ask yourself how you advance in a company. How do you advance at
tupperware or Mary K? Anyone know? Are there promotions? Can you get a pay
raise?
Notice that the OP hasn't come back?
BTW, have people actually taken the bait for this?
I'm sure some have.
It's rather sad that employment conditions reach a point for some that something like this seems viable.
