      It's a new machine, pretty good chance it's just disinfectant from the filters supposed to stop disease. Not nice stuff to drink, but I think likely nicer than after the machine is a few weeks old when the disinfectant is all washed off the filters and bacteria start growing on it because that happens to all dehumidifiers.

You see, people usually make money through selling products and get profits from it, not by people below feeding them money. Those unqualified people don’t have knowledge to sell things, and can only hope to recruit more people so they can get money from it. Once people don’t join your scam anymore, it start to break from the bottom up. The lower tiers suffer the most and have the most amount of people.

Why don't they just hire you as a salesman at their expanding company with an increasing demand? Because the product isnt good enough. If it was, getting hired by them would be a challange, not an idea sold to you. So they convince you to sell a product after actually buying it and if you succeed they make money and if you fail they make money. If you fail you loose money but can't file for bancrupcy.
      It's as if i told you: Hey if you buy these piles of dirt from me, you could probably sell them for a bit more. And if you need advice I can give you guidence in exchange for more money.

      I think they expect barry to sit there arguing with people at the door until they buy their units. I got hired to go door to door and lasted three days. Rather then have me learn about the product u would be selling so i can explain to a potential customer how it would benefit them the person training me was insisting on me learning a script. A few times i asked him to let me to try to sell to the people and he said no because i could not remember the script. On the day i left, i told him people do not care about the script. if they are going to purchase what I am pitching I need to be able to explain to them how this product is better than all other similar products. when i was working at Sears i would make a point to listen to what the customer says and try to find products that meet their needs. If you are looking for a tv so your kids can play video games you likely want a cheap 15in tv and not a 75in plasma tv with surround sound stereo just like if you are looking for a tv for your Sunday night football meetups with your friends a 15in tv will not cut it for you. When it came to suggesting peripherals i would simply suggest ones that would enhance what was being bought. It would be my goal to have the customer leave the store with what they bought and not have to return 30 days later to return it. Lets just say that I met my monthly quotas in the first weeks of each month. Sales is all about solving the problems of those who come to you.

    He literally used all of the terms related to a pyramid scheme from the Federal Trades Commission and smashed it into one term. Now that's transparency.

      Not to mention when talking to Peter, they're like "We want your money and knowledge" for basically nothing in return. Then for him to refuse to say how much money they have in the company, is another crazy move, like unless I misunderstood, those are two red flags, even without him basically admitting it's a Pyramid scheme! lmao!

    They tested the water quality at the beginning, yellow is good. At the end he said the water hadn't gone through the filters correctly due to the high temperature, how did the initial test pass then?

    Quick trick tip: notice during the electric test to show the differences in the waters, only one side was smoking when they took it out the of the cups. That side was the "dirty water." That smoke is coming from the coating they sprayed to make it seem dirty.
