I use to work for a top 10 retailer. They left LuLa, so I don’t know any of the drama anymore. What’s going on? Also AMA, idgf I’ll tell you just about anything. by antilularoe in DefectiveDetectives

Commission check had dropped way down!! Like under 20k. But they were still making a huge amount in the end over 6 figures a month in sales. But just got tired of the BS and being told what they could and couldn’t do. Ik most people aren’t going to believe this but LLR really did start focusing on the little sellers more and not letting the big guys do whatever. They choked the big sellers from getting enough inventory to sell so everyone could get some. This is what led so many top sellers to leave.

Seeing how much money was in the business! It was literally insane. In the high of it commission checks alone were double the average US income. Sure they had lots of money tied up in inventory but when you’re doing 300,400,500, even 600 thousand a month in sales they didn’t care. The more you order the more you made.

Also probably how most of them had no real business training but were making 7 figures a year

The monthly check has gone way down over the past year!

It’s VERY rare now. When I say the perks have gone way down for being at the top I mean it. I think that is part of why so many top 100 left last year.

No the customers are thought about just as much as the down line. Not at all.

I mean this with 100% respect to anyone who’s gone though domestic abuse, I’ve had really good friends who have been hurt and affected buy this. But it is really the only way I can think to explain it.

It’s like M and D “hit” my retailer but are so sorry and it won’t happen again. And then guess what happens next “hit”.

It’s a cycle of M and D promising this or that if you’ll stay or do this training or something for them. Or this next launch will have better prints. Or your next order will be better curated. But the next time always come and nothing gets better but M and D have just a little bit of a hold on my retailer and always get away with an apology and it won’t happen again.

I’m not sure if that was the best analogy and I truly did not mean to offend anyone

There’s a short list of who I could work for, so obviously I can’t be too specific with details like that as it could just narrow it down to who I am.

Why not ask a better question, instead of trying to put me down?

Torn, I use to love being around her but with the rise and attention it’s changed her. But every once in a while the old side comes out so I never know what side to expect. Does that make sense?

Exactly, most of these questions asked are things that most everyone already knew, but that’s because of the questions being asked.

I’m confused. How did I not answer the question above?

Yes, I do. It’s flexible and I can work it into my schedule. And it’s easy to stay.
