Ambot and I were eating at a restaurant when three motorcycles pulled into the parking lot. It was a few years ago that this happened. One of the riders was riding with a spike in his back instead of a back seat. The warning was clear and unequivocal: "There will be no passengers!"
What do you think of the messages we received from our upline? Were they able to be heard clearly?
The majority of the Amway meetings we attended, whether they were in someone's home or an auditorium, were attended by our sponsor and upline, who would be loitering around with mobile phones stuck to their ears or sending text messages. They'd give us a sideways glance before turning away. “The person on the other end of my phone is more important than you!” says the message loud and clear.
Was it really so evident when our arrogant prick sponsor stated that even if you don't earn any cash from your amway business, you will become a better person as a result of your interactions with other people through your amway business and thus become a better person? Moreover, that jerk wasn't the only one who said crappy things like that.
I mean, what the fuck is going on? If I'm not going to generate money as an entrepreneur, why would I want to do so? Why do I want to become a better person as a result of my association with others who work in the Amway organisation? By volunteering in the hospital, I can learn new skills and develop as a person. And it's possible that I'm the nicest person I'll ever be right now, if not ever. Amway doesn't have to show me much more sickeningly nicey sweet to make me happy.
Is this a line that our sponsor used clearly and loudly? "We've got something that's recession-proof; if you're interested, let's get together for a cup of coffee."
That ain't loud and clear, no sir. It's a little ambiguous. Also, I don't like for coffee, so fuck off.
How's this for a new Amway product line? “I can't promise you anything, but would the prospect of earning an additional $70,000 per year be of interest to you?”
Yes, the majority of individuals would be interested in an additional $75,000 per year. However, the most sincere thing you stated was that you were not guaranteeing anything. That bit is very clear and audible to me at this point. Nothing in Amway is still nothing, with the exception of a mountain of debt.
Take, for example, when our sponsor insulted a prospect of Ambot's since he is 45 years old, but because of his age, he is a difficult sell due to his prior understanding of the Amway organisation.
That is also loud and clear in my ears. If the prospect (who is a year or two younger than Ambot) is considered "too old" at 45, then AMBOT IS TOO OLD!!!
How come my message to the arrogant jerk sponsor isn't going over loud and clear? I don't care for you and I don't want anything to do with you!!!!!!!!!!!! How have I been unable to communicate this to the arrogant jerk for more than two decades??? Or is he simply that fucking illiterate? Or is he nothing more than a fucking troublemaker, aided and abetted by the Amway organisation?
One thing that stands out to me is the sheer number of bloggers and commentators who are taking to the Internet to get their stories out into the public domain. Hopefully, Amway recruits are doing some homework before they hand over their $150 registration/starter kit fee to the organisation. It appears that more people are conducting study after they have been working in Amway for a period of time and are not making any money in order to determine whether or not there is any hope in this industry. And then they realise what they've done. It seems like there is an endless stream of stories of people who have lost money, lost their houses, gotten into massive debt, or divorced as a result of their participation with Amway.
The message has been delivered loud and clear. Keep clear from Amway at all costs. It will contaminate your entire existence.
