Online Business Systems Or Herbalife Went Bankrupt Internet
It makes me so angry seeing all these reports. I wish I had read them before getting involved. My upline Linda Yearlsley even had the nerve to call me after she left to try to get me to sell Goji Juice! My story is identical. I have two University degrees and tons of professional work experience and still got pulled in by the promise of making so much money ..really fast. I was forced to purchase the wheel ads and was supposed to use the 20\10 plan to turn these leads into supervisors who will sell for me. I was told the "old way" of selling herbalife is old school. Somehow, I was supposed to be able to convince others that not only should they use these products that I have barely used...they should also sell them and convince others to do the same. It all had to be done exactly by the script and in a period of 10 days or something. It was all about getting people to sing up, become supervisor by buying themselves in and then buying leads to start recruiting. The problem was that you were never encouraged to sell the prouct...It was all about being on calls recruiting with the scripts. Once all of your family and friends were broke and you realized you had thousands of dollars in product still to sell ...it becomes quite obvious the crux of the business is the Herbalife product. I even had some product sent to the US in some warehouse that was set up to move things along as I was told most of my people would be in the US...NOT. I remember calling some lead in Peurto Rico and India i think- it was crazy. Neither knew who I was or why i was calling. Oh and I was forced to get VONAGE ..as my business was international.... what a joke. I even went to training in Atlanta in Winter...got stuck because of weather...more hotel bills etc. The training was a joke. Sean Dahl and Kirkpatrick were there . It was at an airport hotel in Atlanta. Brutal...no catering- only the products out including lunch which is a shake. You would think if they were going to get all of these poor suckers to fly all the way in for one day they would at least try to impress them with at least a sandwhich...NOTHING...not even coffee ..just hot water to make herbal tea and cold for lift off. GROSS when I think back ( this was 2005) . This training was supposed to make my business grow by 10 % or something. My upline Wayne Burling at the last minute couldn't make it. When we got home I found out he had gone MIA as he had been bankrupt and had left...all very mysterious as his up line tried to cover up any need to worry. Meanwhile I had managed to suck in a few people just as I had been sucked in...One was an elderly man with health issues - we told him to take lift off without any real knowledge of his health.... he ended up in hospital. The family was furious as they should be. Their was another lady named Patsy Lacano who told me she only had $399.00 to buy my business package or pay her car payment. She bought the package and realized quite quickly all she had was a box containing products for personal use and a few brochures and an apparent license to sell to the world.
I got a call from Linda yearsly about a year or so later telling me she lost almost two hundred thousand and it was Phil Keough who kept pushing. Now she was selling Goji juice which helped her husband Gary's depression. Very sad really.
Phil's voice is so real and calming. His story is about almost going bankrupt and how this saved him. He had the 20-10 plan. I met him in Atlanta. I guess that is what is most shocking . The way he and others just calmly tell you to advertise - laying out more and more credit . Eventually I got out- came to my senses and ended it. Filed bankruptcy . Thank God I didn't lose my home. I am embarrassed this ever happened to me. Only Phil and those others at the top will ever be rich - one after another below them will keep them rich.
Run if this is you. Run....It doesn't make sense. Sell herbalife directly ..don't do this.
