At sometime in our lives, we
have been or are likely to be approached by recruiters of Multi-Level Marketing
(MLM) and Network Marketing (NM) organizations, promising a great new business
opportunity that only takes a few hours a week and yet will eventually net you
a thousand dollars a week to put you on the road to becoming financially
independent. As many of us know, the biggest of these organizations is
Amway, followed by many smaller copycats, each with their own variations, all
trying to make you think they're better than the other.
MLM's are notorious for presenting to you a barrage of smoke and mirrors
that mislead you with hype and emotionalism that feeds on your deepest needs
while subduing your reason and common sense. They usually start with catchy
lines like "Are you tired of working for someone else?" and
"Would you like to be your own boss?" followed by "How would you
like to earn an extra thousand dollars a week in your spare time?" and
"What if you could do this part time while keeping your regular
job?"
Nope those are not my words but they could have been written by me or just
about anyone else who has been screwed over by some fucking ambot and fucking
Amway.
A good article, though long read https://www.debunkingskeptics.com/Multi-Level-Marketing.htm
Yes I’ve heard all of the above that I quoted. We’ve been harassed by fucking
Amway IBO’s to join their scam except the liars neglect to tell you there’s a
less than 1% chance of making money. Instead they feed you that bullshit about
working 10 to 15 hours a week and making thousands of dollars. Put in two to
five years and the residual income will be rolling in forever and we’ll be
financially independent for the rest of our lives.
I’ve heard all those lines, though I still have never been able to grasp how my
Ambot fell for being tired working for someone else and would you like to be
your own boss seeing as how he hasn’t had an employer in many years. I’m
not really sure what line that fucking arrogant prick sponsor got him on other
than the part about working only a few hours a week for a couple of years and
never working again for the rest of your life while residual income rolls in
forever. When people near retirement age they often look for other forms of
income and investments to help make the retirement years a little nicer.
Anyway, that’s today’s contribution. A link to a thought provoking article that
does not entirely focus on Amway.
Amway and all MLMs are based on THE FAILURE OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF DOWN-LINE. This is a basic structural reality of the entire MLM racket.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to understand the real truth about Amway, just memorize two words: RECRUITMENT, and CHURN. All real money lies in the recruitment of down-line, and in the cycle of churn that happens when earlier disappointed IBOs drop out, and newer enthusiastic IBOs are sucked into the business to replace them.
You want to kill Amway? Break the endless cycle of recruitment and churn.
Anonymous - that's right. The only way to make some of your money back that you lost is by recruiting others to sign up to Amway. If you have a conscience that's tough to do cause you know they're going to suffer financially too from ScAmway.
DeleteBreak the cycle. Don't bring Amway misery to more people.
Three words to short circuit the brain of an Ambot trying to recruit you: "Is this Amway?" The deer in the headlights look in their eyes is priceless.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - except the Ambot will immediately deny it's Amway and come up with a canned response like "No we're WWDB". If you keep pushing the Ambot might admit that they "use Amway to move their product". Those Amway bastards have canned Amspeak responses for everything.
DeleteThe life of an Amway Ambot is to lie, deny, distract and defend.
Let's make a complete list of all the Amway subsystems called "AMOs," or Amway Motivational Organizations. Here are the ones that I recall:
ReplyDeleteWWDB, BWW, URA, Network 21, LTD, WOW
WWDB - stands for World-Wide Dream Builders
BWW - stands for Britt Wide World
URA - (I can't recall what it means)
LTD - stands for Leadership Team Development
WOW - stands for Wilson Out West
There may be others as well. Every one of these organizations is designed to suck money out of IBOs, by pretending to show them how to get rich in Amway.
If anybody from one of these rackets tries to recruit you by saying "We're not Amway," tell him he's a fucking liar.
Thanks Anonymous. Yeah there's other Amway cult sects out there whose names I don't recall, some that may have collapsed. There were those WWDB losers who fell out of Diamond qualification but loved the income from the tool scam who started their own cult sect. Wolgamott was one I think. Deep 6 was the cult sect name or something like that.
DeleteBut yeah it's all about getting around they have anything to do with Amway by saying you're in one of the AMO's because the names of the individual cult sects are not as widely known as the granddaddy cult of Amway.
URA stands for URAssociation. Another AMO full of fake Ambots with a loud, obnoxious salesman as their front man.
DeleteBut, according to them, they keep things pure.
Yeah. OK.
Anonymous - It doesn't matter what Amway cult sect you're in. You'll be stuck in a room of brainwashed Ambots with an obnoxious salesman leading the meeting.
