Thread: FlexKom aka Flexcom aka Weeconomy - legitimate MLM or scam ??

Start listening at 52 minutes for the good stuff. Poor Alice from Kansas City asks a very good question (her second question I think so keep listening) and gets a curious response. Let's hope she figures it out.

So, a rough transcription, not word-for-word, goes something like:
Caller: If I get on board and attend [some convention they're talking about] tomorrow, can I immediately the day after start deploying POS machines in Kansas?
Answer: As long as you are, or get to be [insert job title] then we will "open that area up". [I think the title was "Regional Sales Director" or similar.]
Caller: What does [job title] mean?
Answer: It means you have below you 3x [other job title]
Caller: And please define [other job title]
Answer: That's somebody who has 3x [yet a third job title] beneath them.
Caller: So I need to have 3 who have 3 who have 3?

[And then it gets confusing as several people talk at once.]

I'm not entirely sure what "open that area up" means, but one of the people said "we need leadership in that area before we can open it".

I'm curious about the advertised reasoning behind this. A covert non-advertised reason might be that it delays the green light as long as possible.

I understand the concept of a "launch day" for products, for logistical and promotional reasons, such as when the latest iphone is in the shops.

But I don't quite get putting an indefinite delay into "opening an area". If the servers are working, why wouldn't you do it?
Surely if it's all legit you would want someone, anyone, to start deploying POS's ASAP, because the more there are out in the field, the more they can be seen to be working, the more you can show them off, the quicker the word would spread, get articles in local papers, the more you "create want".

But under this system, you've got 27 people in a hierarchy, not one of whom has ever actually had a go at deploying a real POS. They may have done drills at the convention, fine, but even the leader of the hierarchy won't have done it for real.

It's a system which selects as its leaders people who are good at recruiting, not people who are good at promoting to and supporting local businesses, although they're both sale-ish type activities, so I can see how someone who is good at recruiting would easily see himself doing the other.

But why would you delay the green light? Why delay all that activity and revenue?
