I hadn’t gone to an Amway WWDB meeting in a long time, but one night after his prospect no showed I agreed to accompany Ambot to listen to the boring Emerald spew out some bullshit.
It had been at least 5 months since I’d last listened to this fucker. He surprised me when he talked about the start up costs and said it costs $150 for the Amway business license.
Huh? That’s a first. Is that what they’re calling it now? I’ve always understood a business license to be purchased from city hall where one’s company is doing business. It was clear the Emerald was talking about the Amway start up fee/registration because he mentioned the value of the Amway sample pack that new IBO’s receive after paying their $150 Amway Business License is about half that amount in Amway products.
The change from Amway Starter Kit to Amway Business License must have come down from some World Wide Dream Builders Diamond upline of him in an effort to make “the business” sound more legitimate. I doubt boring old Emerald thought this one up all on his own. One person in the audience asked about this Amway business license, if that meant they could do business in their city without going to city hall to purchase a business license.
Fortunately the Emerald did say that IBO’s would have to check with their city for guidelines about business licenses to find out whether or not it was required where they lived.
Probably the only decent business advice I’ve ever heard given out at an Amway meeting.
A start-up kit and a sample pack are NOT a business license.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect example of how Amway misuses and corrupts language for its own deceptive purposes.
Exactly Anonymous! But that's just the bullshit being slung at Amway cult meetings. I'd say in most cases a business owner needs to apply to their city for a business license and they have to display it in the place of business. Commissioned sales reps might not need a business license because they're operating under their employer who likely has a business license but I doubt any city hall is experiencing a run of Amway losers showing up to ask about it!
