I wrote this piece last year, but given the approaching holiday season and the weird nature of Amway, I'm bringing it back for any new readers who may not have seen it before. The Amway stuff was just another way to waste another perfectly nice Saturday, not to mention the fact that I lost money in the process. But, after all, that is what Amway is all about, isn't it? You're wasting your time and money.
Our upline leased a community hall and transformed it into an Amway Christmas shopping centre, and all IBOs were instructed to invite friends and family members to go and purchase Amway products as Christmas gifts for their loved ones.
The majority of the products on display were consumables, such as terrible snack bars, disgusting XS energy drinks, vitamins, and Perfect Water, among other things. Remember, this is the kind of item that every youngster hopes to find beneath the Christmas tree?
Each IBO was required to contribute $10 toward the cost of renting the community hall. There were approximately 40 IBOs in attendance at this occasion. You probably guessed it. The IBOs outnumbered the shoppers by a wide margin.
About two blocks away from a busy thoroughfare is the old community hall, which is located on a relatively peaceful street. There was a notice on the entrance inviting people to come in and do their Christmas shopping there. Perhaps they would have gotten more purchasers if they had moved a couple of blocks further and placed a sign on the corner of a more heavily used road.. It's possible that it won't. When it comes to shopping malls, the first Saturday in December is the busiest day of the year. Let's have a look at the numbers. A shopping centre with a large number of stores. There is a great deal of variety. A good assortment of items is available. The product is reasonably priced. Compare this to Amway shopping central, which is located in a small community hall that is infested with mice. Products that are overpriced. There is a limited selection.
There were five of our buddies in attendance. The IBO's seized on them, believing that they would generate a lot of sales. One of our pals really went out and bought a few things. The pity purchaser, who simply purchased the products in order to assist Ambot. Over $100, there was a decent sale. I'm not sure how much it was in total. It's possible that it was closer to $200.
Here's where things get a little wacky. Our acquaintance was the only one who made a transaction on that particular afternoon. Ambot was the lone IBO who made a sale out of the entire group of IBOs. We were packing up when we had our final meeting of the day and Platinum scolded the group for their lack of sales. Now, you'd think that the conceited sack of shit would have something nice to say about Ambot because his friend had made some purchases, but no. Nope. He ripped against Ambot, claiming that he had five buddies show up and that only one of them made a purchase. When I say laid into him, I mean really laid into him about how those were not real friends because they did not support his business and about his general lack of success, even though he was the only IBO who made a sale that day, I mean laid into him about how those were not real friends because they did not support his business and about his general lack of success As soon as the verbal lashing was through, he informed Ambot that they still loved him and that they will always be his only true friends, as opposed to the phoney friends that don't support his company.
After Ambot stopped attending Amway meetings and purchasing products, despite all of the phoney promises of never-ending love and friendship, those phonies severed their bonds of love and friendship with him. That's a bummer. What I can't put into words is how much it aches my heart to know that those liars don't want to have anything to do with us any longer.
