Our Platinum sack of shit advised us to first establish a relationship with people before informing them about "the business" at a later date.
To establish a relationship with someone, how long does it often take? No two people will ever give the same answer to the question. The development of an ongoing relationship with someone can take just one day, while with others it can take weeks or even months to develop such a relationship with someone. There are times when it is too difficult to call and tell new acquaintances that you are an Amway distributor and the only reason you are spending time with them is to prospect them so that they may become an Amway IBO as well, and then you can become best friends for the rest of your lives. You're not interested? I'll see you later. The partnership has come to an end.
Returning to the sack of shit, he advised using FORM while speaking with prospects.
All of you out there who are unsure whether or not you are being prospected by an Amway IBO should ask your new buddy whether or not he or she has expressed FORMAL interest in you.
F – Family: inquire about their family and whether or if they have enough time to spend with their family.
O - Occupation: inquire as to what they do for a living and whether or not they are interested in changing jobs.
R - Recreation: inquire about their interests and recreational activities, as well as whether they would like more time to devote to these activities.
M - Money: inquire as to if they require additional funds to purchase items, pay off debt, or fund their aspirations.
I can understand how you could feel when you first meet someone and go through F.O.R. But what about the M? The majority of people do not inquire about their new acquaintance's financial position when they first meet. It's the same when you inquire about politics, religion, or sexual orientation, for example. These are topics of conversation that may never come up during the course of a relationship due to the fact that they are deemed private.
If you believe you are being prospected by someone affiliated with the Amway cult, you can utilise my version of F.O.R.M. to protect yourself.
