| 0:00.0 | So I know we've talked a bit about solicitations in the workplace, but I'm telling you, I think |
| 0:08.6 | that people that are in MLMs would be fantastic corporate recruiters. |
| 0:13.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:14.1 | I mean, it is a skill set. |
| 0:15.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:16.1 | Because they will fucking find you. |
| 0:19.7 | So I got personal experience in this when because they will fucking find you. |
| 0:24.2 | So I got personal experience in this. When we first moved to Australia, a very well-known skincare MLM was launching in Australia. |
| 0:34.2 | And they know what they're doing. |
| 0:35.7 | Their marketing end, they put up, you know, a picture of a |
| 0:38.9 | koala, picture of the opera house on Facebook. Hey everybody. Do you know somebody in Australia? Who do you know? |
| 0:47.7 | Tag a friend of a friend or send this to anybody you know in Australia. Well, I found out about this after I was like what the fuck |
| 0:56.8 | I got in my Facebook DMs I am not kidding you like and it was literally immediately when |
| 1:03.0 | we had not been there 20 hours and I got this this thing I'm the temporary housing jet lagged |
| 1:08.3 | oh my gosh like a seven page thing thing. Hey, mate from some person, I have an |
| 1:14.0 | opportunity for you. And I was like, and then I saw, they just kept coming. Hey, girl. I know you from |
| 1:19.1 | your friends with this person. I'll all, hey girl. And again, I'm like, you know me. |
| 1:23.4 | Hey, sis. 100%. And I'm like, if you're going to say anything, be like, hey, bud. Oh, my God. It was like, in total, in just the first few weeks we moved there, it was literally just happened to be like, the day would have 186 messages from different people. Holy shit. Through my Facebook messages or if they, I counted because I was like, what? Yeah, like this is getting insane. And I was like, I was like I was moving with my family across the world. I was exhausted. I'm trying to set things up. I'm not taking on. I have a yes space, which is leads to why people might think this. But also it was like, you know, I also had a job in the U.S. I was starting. I had like |
| 2:02.9 | two weeks before I started it. But I'm like, no, I have a job. Thank you. I appreciate this. |
| 2:07.2 | But I knew almost multiple of the American women I knew that lived there, because everyone, |
| 2:12.8 | sadly, including me, that was in Australia that I knew that was American, was there because of their |
| 2:16.4 | husband's job. But so, multiple of them of them all got involved in this MLM. Oh my gosh. And then they were recruiting you. Because in particular, they all lived in the same area. So they were kind of fighting each other. You know, they were. And I was like, they were like the sharks and they're fighting themselves. I'm like the jets. And so I was in an area that there were not as many Americans. And so they were like, I would get mess with. They'd be like, hey, girl, can we? I'd love to throw a party for all your friends and do these things. And of course, I can't just ignore it. Or I can't because I kind of know these people. But I'm like, oh, God. And so anyway, I finally came up with my line that has served me very well since then. |
