How did Ambot become connected with such a shady organisation as Amway is a subject I've pondered on numerous occasions.
The next concern I have is how did Ambot become affiliated with such a shady organisation as Amway on two separate occasions?
Ambot isn't the only one who feels this way. There are stories on the Internet of former IBOs who tried Amway numerous times before giving up on it. I'm not sure who has the world record for the number of times someone has attempted to leave Amway and failed. The term "retread" was used during round 2 of WWDB Amway hell to describe someone who had made several attempts to become an Amway IBO. Simple Amway jargon comparing IBO's in round 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 to automobile tyres that have had some treatment done to the rubber of their tyres. According to Wikipedia, certain tyres can be retreaded up to ten times. What about Independent Business Owners (IBOs)? Is it possible that there are some people out there who are stupid enough to sign up and then quit Amway ten times? I despise the idea that such a possibility exists, yet it wouldn't surprise me in the least. That would be the person with the scarlet G painted on their forehead - someone who is easily duped.
For my part, I believe it is quite likely that an IBO is recruited based on the hoopla and then accomplishes absolutely nothing after paying the Amway membership fee. After a year or two, he is approached by another Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO), who gets him all giddy with excitement about the imagined business opportunity. He purchases another Amway membership and does nothing. It's possible that this will happen again and again. It's a possibility.
My question is whether Independent Business Owners (IBOs) believe that if they stick it out in Amway for two to five years, buying Amway products and buying Amway tools and attending functions, their reward will be money flowing in from Amway for the rest of their lives, even if they have neither customers nor a downline. During the board of directors meetings, our sack of shit Platinum assured us that we were already victors simply by showing up. Are you getting the idea that you don't need to do anything else but show up and have your attendance recorded? In exchange, IBOs live in the belief that Amway rewards all victors who show up with a large sum of money that will continue to accrue in perpetuity.
The first time Ambot gained entry was most likely due to two factors. Although the son of the Platinums was the one who signed us up, Ambot was a business colleague who believed the Amway business opportunity seemed nice. Perhaps he should have asked himself if it was such a fantastic opportunity, why wasn't the son an Independent Business Owner (IBO). Find 6 people who can find 6 people who can find 6 people and so on and so on. I informed him that while the statistics looked nice on paper, the reality of pulling it off was quite different. Were we able to identify 6 people who would buy $300 worth of Amway products on a consistent basis each month, and would they be able to find 6 others in turn, and so on? No, I didn't believe that. Ambot were swept up in the excitement and publicity surrounding the event. He attended Family Reunion, where he was energised and driven, as well as all the usual nonsense that comes with such an event. I went along with him to Free Enterprise Days, and I wasn't impressed with what I saw. All of the Diamonds who paraded onto the stage had a storey that was essentially the same. They'd been doing low wage jobs until a great buddy showed them the plan. Amway saved their life, and now they're rolling in cash. They were some of the biggest bullshitters around, and the most of them had awful voices on top of that. They were also quite boring.
After a few months, Ambot came to the conclusion that this Amway business offer was a complete scam. We were spending money rather than earning money, and no one we knew was interested in purchasing pricey Amway products, and we were unable to persuade anyone to attend meetings or join Amway.
That's all there is to it. We suffered a financial setback. It was a bad experience. Continue on with your life.
Which is exactly what we did for several years.
Anyone who has been following this blog for a while knows that it is about the last time we were in Amway and WWDB, as well as the fucking morons who work for our upline. I'll make an effort not to bring up the fact that our sponsor is someone I've loathed for many years again. My understanding is that he believed that sponsoring us in Amway would improve my impression of him, despite the fact that I had no interest in becoming engaged in the Amway scam again.
So allow me to pause for a moment and say fuck you to that conceited jerk!
Ambot is introduced to the pretentious pile of shit Platinum by Captain Fuck Up, who sneaks around behind my back. A person with a lot of charisma. Personality that stands out. A good listener and communicator. Cult leader with exceptional ability. He persuades Ambot that his current group is far superior to the previous group he was in. It was World Wide Dream Builders the last time I checked, and aren't you also a member of WWDB? He promises improved leadership and mentorship, which were qualities that Ambot lacked the last time he was in the position. He is a really good liar who is highly convincing. Scary. Frightening. if Hitler, Charles Manson, and the Reverend Jim Jones could all be condensed into a single individual, he would be the bucket of excrement. His cult followers regard him as someone who should be revered and feared at the same time. Terrifying!
Ambot has a soft spot for the sack of excrement that is Platinum. He wants to make a good impression on him. He would like to spend more time with him. In order to do so, he must join Amway and spend a lot of money on the fraud since this sack of shit will not be friends with anyone who does not contribute to his fund-raising endeavours. I attempted to persuade Ambot that nothing had changed at Amway, including the company's business strategy. Every month, we were still required to purchase a large number of Amway goods. They were still way too expensive. Although the products were reasonably priced, they were not as good as name brand or generic brands that we could purchase at Walmart for a much lower price. We still had to find 6 people who had to find 6 people who had to find 6 people who had to find 6 people who had to find 6 people to find 6 people, ad nauseam puke city over and over....
We haven't seen a significant shift in our friend network during the past ten years. So, who exactly is Ambot going to prospect in order to become an IBO, you might wonder. It's the same group of people. They have not changed their minds. Who is it that he is going to go after in order to get shoddy, overpriced Amway products? It's the same group of people. They have not changed their minds.
Nothing has changed this time around, with the exception of the lies told by the fucking asses in our Amway upline.
I believe some people sign up for Amway and then resign (and continue to quit) because they meet various people who are very liked and tell them that things have changed in Amway since the last time the IBO was there (and continue to lie about how things have changed). They exaggerate the ways in which their LOS group is superior to the last one they were in, citing better training, better leadership, better counselling, better mentorship, better individuals, and so on, among other things. They extend friendship to you. They make lofty promises like "we'll give you the moon." They assure you that your dreams will become a reality. These skilled liars will go to any length to persuade anyone to become an Amway distributorship member. Ex-Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) formerly felt that Amway would provide them with a road to financial independence. The better the upline is at lying, the easier it will be to select the ex-IBO for round 2. Round three, round four, and so on.
Amway is a jerk!
