When the asshole Emerald ran an Amway meeting, he claimed that he or the piece of shit Platinum would teach us how to go out and obtain clients.
What? It goes beyond sniping at potential customers at Safeway, Barnes & Noble, and the local children's baseball game, do you say?
A little over an hour later, he elaborates, noting that the best recruits are those who are young enough to have never heard of Amway, which means those in their late teens to early twenties are the most promising prospects.
In addition, the Emerald extols the merits of hounding single moms and anyone who are in financial trouble.
His statement does not imply that single mothers are necessarily in debt, but he does state that they are most likely hurting financially and lack the necessary amount of time to spend with their children, which makes an Amway work at home job ideal for them. People who are in debt want to get out of debt as soon as possible. (Oh, man, Amway would be a terrible business opportunity for them.) In this case, Amway equals MORE DEBT!!!
So, how can you track down those that are in debt? When most people reach their credit card limit on 20 cards and fall late on their rent and water bill, they are unlikely to brag about their situation to their friends or family. What should an IBO do in this situation? Approaching random individuals and demanding to know their financial situation?
They'd probably receive a massive fuck off as a reward for their trouble, to be honest.
Customers at Barnes & Noble who are searching through books on debt relief would be a good target for sniper fire.
Because Barnes & Noble is one of the stores where Amway has a connection for online buying, IBOs experience a sense of entitlement when prospecting there. Unfortunately, B&N management is of the opposite opinion. They claim that Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) are the most frequent violators of their "no soliciting" policy.
Getting back to the nonsense about instructing IBOs on how to go out and acquire clients Everything about Amway is a load of hot air, just like everything else about the company. There was little discussion about how to go out and recruit clients, other than a hazy description of the types of people who should be targeted by the IBOs, such as single mothers and those who are in financial trouble. There is no helpful guidance on how to persuade these folks who have the least ability to pay to spend their money chasing Amway illusions of wealth.
The majority of the time, when someone instructs you on how to perform something, they provide step by step directions. It's comparable to learning to drive a car. You don't just go out and get a car, get in it, and start driving without looking at the road ahead of you first. You might, I suppose, but the consequences would almost certainly be devastating.
It's exactly like Amway!
There are no specific instructions on how to recruit an Amway prospect other than to go out and lie to them about your company. Never tell them it has anything to do with Amway; instead, tell them it is an incredible business opportunity and that you will become wealthy working part-time within the next 2 to 5 years if they join you. Tell a lie to them. Give them whatever line you can think of to mislead them into attending an Amway meeting, and the cult leader will take care of the rest, even enticing them to join.
Is it necessary for Walmart to tell lies in order to entice customers inside the store? Is it necessary for Starbucks to mislead in order to get customers? Is it necessary for Wendy's to lie in order to gain customers?
Customers will come if you provide them with a product that they want and do not take advantage of them. It is not necessary for you to go out and find them. A respectable firm distinguishes itself from a fraud by displaying this characteristic.
The asshole Emerald never gave us any instructions on how to go out and get clients, but he did educate us a lot about inflicting misery into other people's lives in the process.
