| Do you have a Digital Voice Recorder? I wanna be a Perfect Water Entrepreneur.
Might be a long shot posting on Revscene but its worth a shot.
I absolutely need a voice recorder by tomorrow morning as I'm headed down to Spokane Washington tomorrow first thing tomorrow morning.
The ones on Craigslist are not able to be picked up tonight, which puts me back to square one. And yes I know I'm retarded for procrastinating.
If you have one for sale please pm me or post here and I will be in contact with you. Will be able to pickup tonight at anytime.
Thanks so much!

LOL @ TOS.
Yeah I am skeptical about this business venture, but however I think it is something worth checking out. If it turns out to be something hilarious I'll be back tomorrow night. Quote:

Imma leave you with some advice that you will thank me for in the future.
DO NOT JOIN THIS. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY TO YOU AND WHAT THEY PROMISE YOU, DO NOT JOIN.
doesnt matter if its out of package or not, just put it back in the package and return the item. especially places likes bestbuy.
btw hchang, are you just going as a +1 with your friend? or have you talked to a recruiter and they invited you.

| whats your buddys initials?
i went to a meeting to support my friend, he actually didnt tell us what it was and basically lied to us taht it was something totally different to get us to go.
listened to some bs speech, then the presenter arranged 1 on 1 meetings with most of the guest, and i wasnt going to do it but hes got my number from one of my sellout friends. so i met him to talk about it, and jsut went with his bs and rejected. then he offered a free all expenses paid trip to portland for this big gathering of IMPORTANT people! giving some motivational speech and shit.
sure you will be making extra income, which i have noticed also, but for you to be making the 6+ digits they promise you any time soon, you have got to be kidding yourself. sure, you and all the other suckers will all be making 6+ in no time.

I have a Samsung BlackJack II, pretty good voice recorder, but however, I was told not to use those as it distracts the speaker. | It's an all or nothing job. Comparable to selling RESPs or Life Insurance.
Actually no. People will always want to buy RESPs and Life Insurance. And you need a fucking license to sell. Any bozo can sell me something I can get from my fucking toilet if I had to. My dog does that and he gets along fine, I'm sure I don't need to break a bill just to get something I can turn on the tap for.
If you think this is just going to be some easy dough then you've obviously been misinformed. The amount of time and effort required per week to be actually successful with this type of thing compares to getting a full time job in the retail sector. And this does not include weekly/monthly seminars which are "in your best interest" to attend. Of course, whether or not you'll become successful after the input of time and effort is a whole other story.

^ exactly.
the way they get you is they say you only need to spend a couple hrs a week doing this job, which is total bull. you need to attend a meeting almost every week. its "in your best interest" to read the books on how to be successful at it, WHICH they will begin by lending them to you free of charge, but since you need to read volumes and volumes and there are even CDs with info, they eventually cut you off and tell you to buy them to learn from. Which coincidentally the recruiter also sells. This is how they make money, by charging people for these self help books.

when i had to reformat my computer i went to FS and bought a 500GB ext. hard drive.. formatted teh computer and a week later returned it... it's FS, they don't care...
on another note.. what are you going down for?
is it the company that sells that perfect water/ vitamins / excess energy drink?
if so, there's nothing wrong with that company.
My uncle and aunt sell that garbage. it's just a pyramid business. ie. if you sell something the person above you, called the upline gets money.. so what you want to have is a down line, people you refer.
they do seem to sell a number of products to a number of friends/colleagues though and its just a side business thing for them...
imo, most of it is overpriced garbage... Perfect Water, lol are you kidding me...I've tried it btw... felt like superman...not
and for some reason, they actually believe it's the greatest water in the world and they think it helps you actually jump higher... I don't know how they got them to think this way which is effed because they're not dumb people..
ps.. if it is the same thing.. why are you going all the way down to washington for? they have local meetings/recruiting sessions here..
