An apparent IBO recently engaged me on facebook. I copied his statements and my comments. "Mike" is the name that he goes by. He initially engaged me for a few exchanges before returning a month later to attempt to recruit me. During the course of the conversation, I catch him telling a falsehood. Perhaps he is learning how to "fake it till you make it"? Perhaps his superiors taught him how to deceive? Perhaps he is a liar who also happens to be an IBO?
at 2:54 p.m. on August 17th Mike:
you wouldn't know a real biz if it hit you in the face.... who r u fooling???
Joe says: Who are you? Is it some Amway jerk?
at 2:58 p.m. on August 17th Mike:
10.2 billion dollars this year WITHOUT you... will be over 12 billion dollars when the numbers are all tallied... all WITHOUT you... Are you insane... this is a proven fact!!! Oh, you must have some sort of employment... mike
Joe estimates that Amway has a market capitalization of $10 billion and Walmart has a market capitalization of $400 billion or more. No comparable.
At 3:04 p.m. on August 17, Mike:
Let's see... yes, Walmart is a great company... what do they do... oh, they distribute.... the only problem with Walmart is that they can't run a business... 15,000 new IBO's per day... over 40 million hits on the web every day... the ONLY debt-free company on the web that is doing over a bill in biz... income I'm plat. yrly 35-40 thousand dollars...
Joe responds: Are you debt-free? Amway has a bright future. You are not affiliated with Amway.
At 3:27 p.m. on August 17, Mike:
The first thing you need do is call Corp... they will provide you with documentation... I have been debt free from the beginning of Rich & Jay's business... I'm not sure where you went to school, but you must have failed math... you're insane to think your over head is 3k per month... no one gets sucked in... they choose to join... How many individuals begin college and never complete it... hmm, let's see... they drop out... mmmmm spent thousands of dollars on tuition, books, and room and board....
Joe asks: So, how profitable are you? In response, Mike makes the broke loser statement, but a month later, he's back.......................
At 4:45 p.m. on September 14, Mike:
Hello, Joe... this is Mike, and I'd like to know whether you'd like me to sponsor you??? I met three new folks during a house meeting on Thursday last week... two of them are now employees and one is a client... Everything is going swimmingly... mike
Joe expresses his appreciation for the number of persons who attended your meeting. Isn't it true that having people in a meeting doesn't generate any revenue?
At 11:51 a.m. on September 15, Mike:
I've ALWAYS been lucrative... I turn a profit in every business I've ever owned... I've been doing so since I was 22... mike
Joe expresses himself like follows: Are you making a profit on a net basis? What level do you consider yourself to be?
15th of September, 2:24 p.m. Mike:
yes.. hello Joe... gas, cd's and other expenses are 300-400.00 a month... the biggest expense is function weekends, which run about 300.00 for tickets, room and food... I've made over $50,000... with a high profit margin... It is necessary to persevere in order to establish the business properly... mike
Joecool's take on the situation: As a result, this IBO acknowledges that he spends between $300 to $400 each month to "grow the business appropriately." You will observe that he was a platinum earner a month ago, earning between $35 to $40K. Now, a month later, he claims to be earning $50,000. He is obviously lying, and he is most likely faking it but not making it. What is it about IBOs that makes them feel the need to lie?
