An apparent IBO recently engaged me on facebook. I copied his statements and my responses. He goes by the name "Mike". He engaged me for a few exchanges and then he later comes back a month later to try and recruit me. In the exchange I catch him in a lie. Maybe he is learning fake it till you make it?
August 17 at 2:54pm Mike:
you wouldn't know a real biz if it hit you in the face.... who r u fooling???
Joe says: Who are you? Some Amway dude?
August 17 at 2:58pm Mike:

Joe says: Amway 9 billion, Walmart 401 billion. No comparison.
August 17 at 3:04pm Mike:

Joe says: Debt free? Good for Amway. You are not Amway.
August 17 at 3:27pm Mike:

Joe says: So are you profitable? Mike responds with the broke loser statement but a month later, he’s back………..
September 14 at 4:45pm Mike:
hey Joe... mike here.... do you want me to sponsor you??? had 3 new people at a home meeting on thur. last week... 2 are in and 1 customer... things are going well... mike
Joe says: It’s great that you had people at your meeting. Having people at a meeting doesn’t make you any money does it?
September 15 at 11:51am Mike:
have ALWAY'S been profitable.... i make a profit in EVERY biz i have... have been since i was 22... mike
Joe says: Are you making a net profit? What level are you?
September 15 at 2:24pm Mike:
yeh.. hi Joe... gas, cd's, functions and other expense 300-400.00 monthly... biggest expense are function weekends... run bout 300.00 for ticket,room and food... made over 50k... high margin of profit... must hang in to build the biz right... mike
Joecool commentary: So this IBO admits his expenses run about $300 to $400 a month to “build the business right”. You will notice that a month ago he was a platinum making $35 to $40K. Now, a month later he says he is making $50K. Clearly he is lying, probably faking it but not making it. Why do so many IBOs need to lie?
Joecool, your first reply to Mike is enough to disqualify you from being a professional adviser for potential business opportunity lookers. Let's be honest, you're not professional. This blog serves as an indication to this point.
ReplyDeleteAs for denying that Mike makes $ 50K a month later from $ 40K the previous month, you clearly show that you have no understanding and back that up by claiming that he's lying. Did you know that AIG has been loosing $465,421 per minute as a result of market conditions? Hmmm, and Mike increased by another $ 10K per month, not minute! If loosing that much per minute is hard to grasp, then it's far easier to grasp making that much per month. Get a life man seriously!

Reading comprehension is not a strength of many IBOs. Mike said he made $35 -$40K yearly. Almost exactly one month later he says he is earning $50K. He is a liar.
ReplyDeleteReading comprehension is not the point. I know some things that I don't want to reveal to you. Based on that I know that the jump from $ 40K to $ 50K is attainable. Refusing to reveal the reasons as to why that's the case makes me sit back, relax and enjoy watching you as you run in circles trying to chase your own tail. You've been doing a great job and don't seem to ever get tired of it! We're truly blessed to have people like you around!
ReplyDeleteLOL, anonymous, you better start reading more carefully. "Mike" says on August 17, 2009 that he makes 35-40K per year. One month later he says he eanrs $50K per year. He is lying. You are defending a liar. You are running in circles trying to justify a lie.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you post your alleged Amway success and shut us up?
I will give you a hint; that was in September when he made that statement. Why? Unfortunately, I won't give you the reason why. But I will give you the reason why not: to let you, sweet boy, get off your laurels and do some research on your own unless you're too lazy to do that. It's easy to say that's he's lying when you're misinformed. Now you have two choices: keep on being misinformed or get your info straight. Probably it's easier to keep on being misinformed and so your next reply won't differ much from your last.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous from Canada, on August 17, he said he is platinum making 35-40K a YEAR.
ReplyDeleteOne month later in September, he said he is making 50K. How did his yearly income go up in one month?
It is more likely that Mike is lying through his teeth than not.
Joecool, let me repeat myself for the second time in plain English to you, ok?
ReplyDeleteI won't reveal to you the reason why his income jumped by $ 10K in September. I gave you a hint only. I want you to find out why. I want you to prove that you're indeed a truth seeker versus an opinion man who sounds just as credible.
I won't repeat myself to you the third time.
Anonymous, let me repeat myself for the second time in plain English to you ok?
ReplyDeleteHe lied. Your income doesn't go from 35-40K to 50K in one month. He is lying.
I won't repeat myself a third time.
You won't need to repeat yourself to me again. That would be pointless and a waste of time. You just don't get it and won't get it. To your borderline intellect, whatever doesn't sound feasible must be a lie. I'll leave it off here.
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous:
ReplyDeleteJoeCool, is stating that the reported income went from $30-40K YEARLY, to $50K MONTHLY. Therefore, his sales increased about $45,000 IN ONE MONTH. That's a 1500% sales increase in one month. Possible-yes but not with "3 new people"
James is right. Mike lied. And he didn't remember what he told me about his earnings and slipped up. Even his 3 new people were only guests and not IBOs.
