That is the lament of a recent searcher who showed up at my blog. Not me! I have no Scamway products for sale!
There is a reason why no one is buying your Amway products. That is because the food and drink items taste like shit and piss. The cleaning products are average to lousy. The cosmetics are ugly. I could go on and on.
But the main reason no one is buying your shitty Amway products is the price tag. Amway charges exorbitant prices for generic and substandard products. Amway is hardly the only company around to stick overinflated price tags on products that are worth a fraction of the cost. Some people might say Safeway is too high priced or Sears is too high priced or Burger King is too high priced. Though as far as I know none of these establishments has regularly been accused of being a cult. Can Amway say that?
Price can be subjective.
Quality not so much.
Brainwashing people to believe that they pay high prices and receive high quality products is the sign of a good Amway cult leader. Especially when those “high quality” products are shit. Generic products at best. Substandard is more like it.
To others money doesn’t matter so much and many people are open to paying more money for better quality products. Unfortunately Amway does not have better quality products except in the minds of their current crop of brainwashed IBOs. When those IBO’s quit Amway why don’t they keep buying Amway products if they think they’re so wonderful and reasonably priced? Because reality sinks in when a person is no longer being brainwashed and they got it figured out that Amway’s products are really no better than brand name products and often much worse.
Think of it this way. According to an Amway employee who stopped by my blog one day and let us know that employees are given free boxes of SA8 laundry detergent or whatever name they use now. S/he is like no thanks and goes to the store to buy Tide. Why spend money on a product you can get for free? Could it be that this Amway employee wants their clothes to come out clean in the wash?
Put aside the low quality and the high prices on Amway products.
Most people don’t want to buy Amway products because of Amway’s shitty reputation. And how did Amway get a shitty reputation? That would be thanks to their commissioned salespeople aka Amway independent business owners aka IBO’s aka ambots.
The trickery, the bad behavior, and the lies are what makes Amway IBO’s.
High price tags, shitty quality, and the bad reputation of others before you is why people don’t want to buy your Amway products.
I mean, seriously, who the fuck comes up with the names for the products anyway! ‘SA8’, ‘PERFECT WATER’, ‘XS ENERGY DRINKS’, ‘ARTISTRY’…and who the hell would eat food-replacement bars anyway! The only joy some of us get out of life is REAL food! What are these people, a bunch of retards?
ReplyDeleteI just went to their Amway Global online-store and nearly shit a brick when I looked at the prices. They’re charging $10.49 for an iCook logo spatula…what the hell is an iCook logo spatula and more importantly…why would I want to pay eleven dollars for one spatula, I get these for a buck a piece at some stores or a quarter a piece at garage sales (yeah I know, gross…IT’S MY LIFE ALRIGHT). Anyway…you’ve got to be dead-brained to be in this thing!
Holy grail, someone please save the stupid ones, I swear…sometimes I just feel like I’m the smartest specimen around…and even I know that’s not true! Come on people; use that brain…what a waste of breath, really!
Anonymous - I agree with you that many of the names are weird. Perhaps the Amway marketing department was sitting around one night getting drunk and came up with these treasures? If this was the case Amway should hire an outside marketing company who is good at coming up with names for products.
DeleteAmbots eat meal replacement bars! They have no time to cook. They got to get from work to Amway meetings every night. So they eat Amway food bars, XS - really dumb ass name - just call it cat piss drink - and Nutrilite vitamins. I mean what the fuck is up with Nutrilite? Sounds like a weight loss product!
It's difficult to sell products that are grossly overpriced. Brainwashed Ambots don't understand that the un-brainwashed folks aren't as easy to "snake oil" into thinking that the Amway products are superior or have some sort of magic quality about them to justify the price. All they know is "well I can buy that at Costco for a fraction of that cost."
ReplyDeletePlus due to the pushy (and annoying) reputation that folks caught up in the cult have, most people don't want to let them get their foot in the door with one purchase since they know it will mean being hounded constantly to buy more and more crap. Most of an Ambots initial sales (other than to themselves) are pity sales to good friends and their relatives. That is, until they eventually drive them away.

Dave - I'll probably catch more ambots to this post who are also looking for answers to this question. Our sack of shit Platinum would mock people and say who wouldn't want to buy Amway's high quality products. Wouldn't you want to pay more money for better quality products and earn commission on it. That sort of bullshit.
DeleteAnd my answer is no. I'd rather go to Walmart and buy better quality products for half the price. Maybe even a quarter of the price depending on the overpriced Amway product we're talking about.
Amway's reputation is already well known with pushy annoying ambots stalking people to buy the shitty products.
My mother used to say "The fastest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket" ha ha!
DeleteJust exactly how stupid is it to buy overpriced products because you'll get a small fraction back in 'commission"? Why not just buy cheaper and better products to begin with? It's a no-brainer.
Oh-I forgot-when you join Amway you get a brain-ectomy courtesy of your stinkin' upline!
Connie - your mother was very right!
DeleteIts so far beyond stupid that you can't see the words anymore to buy overpriced shitty Amway products and get a tiny amount back in commission. Its all about brainwashing the ambots to believe they are actually saving money by shopping from their own store and they're earning money too on what they buy. How many times did I have to point out to my husband that this was dumb ass Amway philosophy???
Meal replacement bar thats a good one! Lol Yea miss me with that bullshit ill take a real cooked meal thanks. Anyone trying to replace my meal with a cardboard tasting piece a crap may get bitch slapped! Or at least laughed at.
ReplyDeleteAmway meal bars taste like cardboard? You're being too kind. They don't taste that good!
DeletePlus they have this awful artificial aftertaste that doesn't relate to food products. Yuck.

Yeah my parents were nice enough to buy the laundry detergent and cleaners to "help out" then they showed me the bill....yikes.
Delete-Evan.
In the beginning most ambots can get pity purchasers - friends and family - but rarely repeat customers due to the high prices and low quality products.
DeleteThe funny part is that the SA8 crap they sell has ruined so many peoples shirts. Its ridiculous.
ReplyDelete-Sammy
Sammy - I can't say as SA8 ruined any of my shirts! My bank account? Yes! SA8 does not clean as good as Tide or many other laundry soaps but charges 2 or 3 times as much as they do. On mildly dirty clothes Amway SA8 does an average job. On dirty laundry, nope won't come out as clean as their competition.
