Someone asks the Platinum sack of shit what Dream Night is. Here’s the direct quote:
“It’s the boot to kick off the year to make financial resolutions for the group. It’s the financial orgy of the year.”
What the hell kind of answer is that? I can see the orgy thing capturing the attention of the mostly male audience in their twenties. Boy were they going to be disappointed when they showed up at the function!
It was held in a hotel’s banquet room and tickets cost $66 each. I heard that amount on the portion of the recording I listened to and then I heard the sack of shit requesting $75 each from the downline to cover their expenses at organizing and purchasing tickets for everyone. No one asked for clarification how come an extra $9 each went to the upline for typing a few more tickets into the WWDB website to order them and then all the trouble they had to go through to pass them out to the IBO’s. Scalpers!
The overpriced ticket gave the IBO a meal and forced them to listen to a couple of Diamond speakers and watch their videos. Mostly it was about the Diamond’s lifestyle or what they hoped to portray to IBO’s was their lifestyle, showing mansions, private airplanes, sports cars, exotic vacations, etc. And apparently they buy all these things with cash only - never incurring debt. Amway’s figures of an average Diamond’s annual income at $146,000 don’t seem to realistically conclude that mansions, luxury cars, exotic vacations, etc are sustainable on that income.
Smoke and mirrors. Lies and more lies. That’s doing the Amway shuffle.
The Platinum tells the cult followers his pitch to get people to come to Dream Night is:
“Are you currently with this economic crisis getting everything you can by what you’re currently doing or do you think you need to shift and do some more?”
If anyone said that to me I think I would go “Huh?” and then the IBO thinking he had a live one would repeat it and then I’d go “What the fuck are you trying to say?”
The Platinum said he was hosting a table for ten and then he asks around the room to see how many suckers the IBO’s have found to attend. What he finds out is that everyone’s guest lists consist mostly of family and not potential IBO’s which outrages the Platinum. He starts to ride the eagle’s ass to get after the people in his downline who don’t have the numbers of invited guests to buck up and do the work.
Ambot pipes up and says he’s bringing 8 guests. When Dream Night arrived there were no guests. Fortunately he didn’t buy extra tickets. Bottom line is everyone had lofty numbers but few, if any, brought new prospects.
For all the good the extra $9 per ticket the upline wanted for their trouble at purchasing tickets they fucked up anyway and the whole thing turned into a fiasco. There were people in our group who were vegetarians. When purchasing the tickets from the WWDB website there was a meal option for meat or vegetarian. The asshole scalper who was collecting the cash took everyone’s meal preferences at the time they forked over the money but didn’t necessarily tally the meal types when making his mass Dream Night tickets purchase. The tickets were handed out to the IBO’s when they arrived at the hotel all part of the control thing.
In case you haven’t figured it out by now just about everyone ended up with the opposite meal choice than what they wanted. Pissed off IBO’s stood in the hallway where there was a lot of ticket and table swapping going on while people tried to get a ticket and a table with their preferred food choice on it. This took a long time to sort out because the asshole allocating the tickets kept running off to find the platinum and get more tickets.
Big surprise these useless bastards couldn’t get their act together.
Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou are dead WRONG. Dream night IS a financial orgy - FOR THE UPLINE TOOL SCAMMERS!!! They make BIG bucks from these major functions and this is how they are able to buy those items for cash and make FAR more than what they make from their Amway volume, especially since many of them fall backwards from the the pin they wear.
Tickets were $66 each - unless of course you're upline was ripping you off for $75 - and I estimate there were about 50 tables seating 10 each, so maybe 500 paying guests. Sticking with round numbers lets say the cost to the hotel catering is $20 per person leaving $45 profit x 500 = $22,500. There were 2 diamond couples there so thats over $10,000 each just for showing up for the evening to bask in the adoration of brainwashed IBO's. That is a financial orgy for them. And if they get to do more than one Dream Night double or triple that. I guess WWDB gets a cut of all that too because they had to organize the event. It really gives you something to think about. That's where the real money is.
ReplyDeleteBINGO!
ReplyDeleteAt an Emerald Open the speaker was basking in the fake prolonged clapping as he was introduced.
ReplyDeleteI was close to the stage (it was a fairly small room - maybe 100 guests) and heard him say as he was literrly swingng the mic in circles, "Oh, they'll get tired evntually."
That was my sign. After years of this empirical shit, I quit. That was the most blatant display of disrespect for the audience I had ever witnessed.
I stopped clapping and sat down while the lunatic clapping ass-kissing went on for at least another 2 minutes. I just stared at that bastard.
Gosh, he's not an emerald anymore. Shocker
Yup just many in a long line of speakers at Amway conventions who's bored talking to the audience and ultimately boring the audience.
ReplyDeleteI was stunned that he could possiblYe think we had nothing better to do and he had somehow just rescued us from dismal selves.
ReplyDeleteI refused to listen to his STANDING ORDER CASSETTE TAPE
That really was the last event I ever attended for amway. I was ready to give up everythihg for it to be over.
Yippee! No more STANDING ORDER CASSETTE TAPES
Anon,
ReplyDeleteBoy, you really fixed him. You refused to listen to one cassette tape. Then you quit, and allowed him to scam others. Way to go, that's showing him!
Ahhhh.......cant' win for losing.
ReplyDeleteI am a nobody. I have done years of extensive research on vitamins. When the new amway food bars came out they contained spenda.
Splenda shrinks thyroids - the very gland you need in good condition to lose weight.
Greg found out about my supplent researcha and asked if I'd be willing to speak on stage at a function about it. Sure. I was thrilled.
When he found out about my take on splenda, he said, "Well, we have to be careful about zealots."
What? Gee. Suddenly, no more talk about me on stage. Crickets.
And who in the world would listen to me over Greg?

ReplyDeleteAccording to this source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucralose
ReplyDelete"Thymus
Some concern has been raised about the effect of sucralose on the thymus. A report from the Australian National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) cites two studies on rats, both of which found "a significant decrease in mean thymus weight" at high doses.[23] The sucralose dose which caused the effects was 3000 mg/kg/day for 28 days. For a 150 lb (68.2 kg) human, this would mean an intake of nearly 205 grams of sucralose a day, which is equivalent to more than 17,200 individual Splenda packets/day for approximately one month. The dose required to provoke any immunological response was 750 mg/kg/day,[24] or 51 grams of sucralose per day, which is nearly 4,300 Splenda packets/day. After evaluation of these data and other toxicological findings, the NICNAS report concluded that sucralose does not pose a hazard to public health.[23]"
I suggest we stick to topics we know about, such as the Amway Tool Scam.
Yeah, and lead based paint used to be pretty hot, too.
