“Amway how to strike up conversation in Barnes & Noble” was the criteria an ambot used to search Google and ended up at this blog. There’s also been lots of comments left on this blog by people who were shopping at Barnes & Noble and got sniped by some Amway asshole trying to prospect them.
Its a big NO for IBO’s to harrass customers shopping at Barnes & Noble. http://www.amquix.info/quixtar_barnes_noble_stop.html
The problem is information control from Amway’s upline cult leaders. Memos like this are not sent out to individual IBO’s but rather to the Amway cult leaders. It is their responsibility to notify their downline but not everyone gets notified.
Especially IBO’s who signed up after this was sent out from head office since I don’t think Amway refers to itself as Quixtar anymore. I guess that trick them scheme has run the course. Undoubtedly complaints were coming in Barnes & Noble management for years. In its typical tradition of Amway employees working at head office not giving a shit what Amway IBO’s are doing likely nothing was done for the longest time and probably nothing is done today either no matter how much that letter threatens IBO discipline. I’m not sure what threats it took from Barnes & Noble to the big shots at Scamway before the letter was sent out to the Amway cult leaders to deal with the annoying ambots.
People don’t like to be harrassed when they’re shopping. Even more so if they’re flipping through a book and reading passages trying to make a decision on whether or not to buy. They don’t need some fucking Amway ambot sniping them and saying hey I’m a business owner and I sell books too. Yup B&N will want the throw that fucker out of their store for trying to take their business away from them. Competition!
Bottom line is Amway’s head office doesn’t give a flying fuck what the IBOs are doing. I’ve complained about lies I heard from our upline and head office typical lazy ass response is to claim they are not responsible for anything said at Amway meetings and if we have a problem to take it up with the upline who lied to us.
So really what happens if a manager from Barnes & Noble calls Amway’s I-don’t-give-a-fuck customer service desk to complain about ambots sniping customers shopping in their stores. The response they’ll get is - find someone who gives a shit and tell them! Its not like anything will happen to the ambot. What are they going to say? You’re fired. And Amway’s just lost another income stream. Ha ha. Not likely.
If you’re an Amway asshole - stay out of Barnes & Noble!
If you are an Amway asshole and you see me in Barnes & Noble - don't fuck with me!
Hahaha I got prospected in Barnes & Noble about 10 years ago. At first I thought it was some gay guy trying to hit on me then the cat was out of the bag when he said would I like the opportunity to earn more money from a legitimate side business. I quickly asked, "are you from Amway?" and he said something along the lines of, well, this involves Amway and many legitimate Fortune 500 retailers. I said "thank you, I have to leave" before he could say anything more. Barnes & Noble didn't get a sale from me that day, I hope B&N finds a way to sue Amway and/or the various IBO organizations out of business for causing problems at their stores.
ReplyDeleteAnonymoous - LOL! Yeah what else are you going to think when an Amway Ambot sneaks up on you with their sales pitch! I'm sure he also told you that Amway deals with 1000 companies, most of which are Fortune 500. Ambots ain't too swift on the math! Some of them show up here bragging that Amway is in more countries than there are in the world! LOL! I wonder how many customers have been chased out of B&N by Amway ambots. You'd think B&N would sue Amway for loss of business thanks to their commissioned sales force sniping B&N customers and scaring them off.
DeleteNothing has changed apparently. I was prospected years ago outside an employment office where I had gone to look at the jobs posted there that were open at the time. I bought in without thinking but quickly saw the light and got the hell out along with my wallet and my sanity. Thing is, these hardcore losers share info with each other about where to go look for fresh meat after they have gone through all their friends, which doesn't take long.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - nothing ever changes in Scamway, except new faces every few months. Out with the old who realized they got scammed and in with the new who are believing the lies about how rich they'll get. Yup Amway Ambots whole lives revolved around Amway. When they meet new people its all about scamming them.
DeleteThis is funny. A few years back I was in the business section of a B&N and some guy came up to me and feigned like he was confused about what book to get to learn about business and investing. I didn't realize it at the time, but he must have been with Amway or some other creepy pyramid scheme.
ReplyDeleteI started to tell him about index investing, and the importance of low costs and asset allocation. Then I started talking about some of the recent academic research into modern portfolio theory and the efficient market hypothesis. I probably talked to him for a good fifteen minutes. He was either new at prospecting or just not very good, because I don't remember him making much of an effort to turn the conversation. I think I ended up handing him one of William Bernstein's books to read. I don't know if he actually bought it, but I hope our encounter convinced him that the MLM thing wasn't for him.
If he was an Ambot his head was probably spinning trying to figure out how "dreams" and drawing circles fit in with all you were saying.
DeleteAP - Amway Ambots are notorious B&N snipers. They feel they have a sense of entitlement to prospect there because they can buy B&N products through their online Amway store. I'm sure all you did was confuse him with real facts. The only financial advice an ambot takes is from his Amway cult leader which is why they're broke losers.
DeleteAnonymous - yup, the ambot was probably trying to figure out how to wrap some circles in there with the real financial advice!
DeleteI have a sibling and nephew deep into Scamway. Sibling has been in 20+yrs & scammed my naive nephew. It is very disturbing how they are brainwashed and use ANYONE to advance their agendas. They have practically abandoned most family members after we have tried to counsel them and carefully attempted to convince them to get out. They are so deeply lost in the cult, I don't know if we will ever get them back! They would dump their kids on anyone when they were young, to go off on the wknd. cult brainwashing sessions, etc. Told our folks they'd be "independently" wealthy to "care" for them when the folks got old &needed care.....Guess whose old and needs extra care now and can't even get them to answer the damn phone when they call? Yep, you guessed it- the Scamway zombies turn on their own families they suckered into taking care of their kids, bought their overpriced Amway crap, etc. Karmas going to be a real Bitch to the con artist culties someday. I don't know how they sleep at night with a clear conscience!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous. Thanks for sharing your story, a very similar story to most people, except your Ambot relative has been in the cult for 20+ years - and still isn't a quadruple executive Diamond billionaire thanks to Amway! To be successful in Amway you can't have a conscience or morals. But it doesn't sound like your relatives are part of that tiny fraction of 1% of Amway IBO's who make money by scamming others. People in Amway shouldn't be allowed to have kids. They should be forced to turn them over to the state once they enter the cult. At least the kids would have a better chance of a normal childhood. The most important thing to Amway cult followers is Amway, worshipping the Great Amway God, tithing the Amway cult leaders.... Kids and family won't even make it into the top 10 most important things to an Amway cult member.
DeleteYep, at 20 years they're lifers. Too far gone to see how everything they were ever told about the "amazing opportunity" to be walking the beaches of the world in 2 - 5 years was total bullshit. They still see success as "just around the corner" and all reality has been cast aside to blindly hold fast to their social club lovebombing addiction. It's just a shame that they managed to drag another family member into the pit of brainwashed hopelessness they are in.
DeleteIt's always sad when people get sucked into one of the biggest scams and deadliest cults out there. Getting brainwashed by the Amway cult means they can no longer see reality. 20 years of money & time wasted. Sickening.
