In an Amway meeting run by the
asshole Emerald he said he or the sack of shit Platinum would teach us how to
go out there and get customers.
What? You mean there’s more to it than sniping prospects at Safeway, Barnes
& Noble, and the kids baseball game?
About an hour later he elaborates by saying the best recruits are people who
are young enough not to have heard of Amway, in other words late teens to early
20’s are the best prospects.
The Emerald also extols the virtues of hounding single mothers and people in
debt.
He doesn’t say that single mothers are necessarily in debt but he says they are
most likely struggling financially and don’t have enough time to spend with
their children and an Amway work at home job would be perfect for them. People
in debt would like to get out of debt. (Oh boy would Amway be a horrible
opportunity for them. Amway = MORE DEBT!!!)
So how do you find people in debt? Most people who are at their limit on 20
credit cards and behind on their rent and water bill don’t usually go around
bragging about it. What is an IBO to do? Run up to random people and demand to
know their financial position?
Uh huh, they’d probably get a big fuck off for their trouble.
How about sniping customers at Barnes & Noble who are looking at books on
how to get out of debt?
IBO’s feel a sense of entitlement to prospecting at Barnes & Noble because
that is one of the shops that Amway has a portal for online shopping.
Unfortunately B&N management disagrees. They say Amway IBO’s are the
biggest violators of their “no soliciting” rule.
Back to the bullshit about teaching IBO’s to go out there and get customers.
Like everything else to do with Amway its nothing but hot air. They never
discussed anything about how to go out there and get customers other than a
vague description of the people the IBO’s should be targeting - single mothers
and people in debt. No helpful advice on how to convince these people who can
least afford it to spend money chasing Amway dreams of riches.
Normally when someone teaches you to do something there are step by step
instructions. Its like learning to drive a car. You don’t just go out and get a
car, get in, and start driving without instructions. Well I guess you could but
the results would likely be disastrous.
Just like Amway!
There are no instructions on how to recruit an Amway prospect other than get
out there and lie to them. Don’t tell them it has anything to do with Amway
just tell them its an awesome business opportunity and you’ll get rich working
part time in the next 2 to 5 years. Lie to them. Give them any line you can
think of to trick them into getting to an Amway meeting and the cult leader
will do the rest of the work for you at convincing them to sign up.
Does Walmart have to lie to get customers to come into the store? Does
Starbucks have to lie to get customers? Does Wendy’s have to lie to get
customers?
Offer a product that people want, don’t rip them off, and the customers will
come. You don’t have to go out and hunt them down. That’s the difference
between a legitimate business and a scam.
The asshole Emerald never did tell us how to go out there and get customers but
he did teach us a lot about bringing misery to people’s lives.
The up-line assholes in Amway can't tell you how to recruit new IBOs, because quite frankly they don't know -- getting somebody into Amway is pretty much a pure chance.
ReplyDeleteYou have a friend or relative who is somewhat dissatisfied, so you solicit him and maybe he bites. You strike up a conversation with a stranger who is curious about what you are suggesting, and maybe he comes to a meeting. You have a long-time acquaintance who trusts you, and maybe he's willing to listen to a few tapes. That's the best you can hope for, which is why almost no fresh IBOs are recruited by new members of Amway. Getting a down-line is a pure crap-shoot today.
This is also why, if you actually have a prospect, your up-line will scream that you HAVE to get him -- immediately! -- to a group meeting or a sit-down with the Emerald or Platinum. Up-line knows that you don't have a chance in hell of recruiting the new guy. The only possible course of action is to get the potential recruit to a place where he can be worked on emotionally, with a lot of psychological pressure and lying.
The younger the prospect is, the more stupid, the more inexperienced, and the more desperate, the better. Ordinarily sane and rational persons don't fall for the Amway bullshit, but hapless and naive losers do.
Therefore the most important thing we can do is blacken the name of Amway and all MLMs, so that they become a byword for fraud, cheating, and fake promises. This has already been accomplished. Most persons snicker in disgust when they hear the word "Amway." And this is why up-line urges you to look for new recruits among those who have never heard the name Amway before. Those would be young people, losers, and ditz-brained housewives.
Anonymous - I really hope that people are thinking about signing up to Amway read what you wrote. The whole prospecting a new sucker into Amway is a joint effort by all the fucking assholes in the Amway upline who know the lies to say and pressure to apply to sucker in fresh meat.
DeleteIt's really fucking embarrassing to admit to anyone that you're associated with Amway. Everyone who's heard of Amway knows its a pyramid scheme, they flog overpriced shitty products as a front to keep just over the line of being an illegal pyramid scheme, when really the main focus is recruitment not selling Amway shit. So if you tell anyone you're an Amway sales rep people will laugh at you for being a dumb fuck who got sucked into the scam.
There's a reason why Amway cult leaders tell the Ambots and potential recruits not to search for Amway on the Internet. It's because tons of people are sharing their horror stories about the financial and emotional distress Amway brought to their lives. And it will happen to you too if you join the Amway cult.
"The only possible course of action is to get the potential recruit to a place where he can be worked on emotionally, with a lot of psychological pressure and lying."
DeleteAnd this is why Upline pushes IBOs to get Guests out to meetings and conferences.
Anonymous - that's right. One of Amway's best closers - probably the sack of shit Platinum - puts on a tough sales pitch emotionally pressuring the prospect to sign up now before it's too late. The fear of missing out. Because the business is gonna explode in about 6 months and then it'll be too late to get in cause you missed the gravy boat LOL!
DeleteIf Amway has been around since 1959, why the hell is the business finally gonna "explode" in six months? If a potential recruit would just think logically for a second, he'd see that his Amway recruiter is just full of horse shit.
DeleteAnonymous - they've never stopped teaching that bullshit urgency to sign up to ScAmway now. Because all the people who get in today are going to be rich and well established to become even richer in 6 months and will be laughing at all the losers (Ambot opinion) who didn't sign up 6 months ago.
Delete"There are no instructions on how to recruit an Amway prospect other than get out there and lie to them." And of course once the prospect plunks down their money there are no instructions on how to actually make money on the Amway scam unless they put down more money on the Amway tool scam. Amway is like a giant mosquito from Hell. They will keep telling you "success is just around the corner" to keep sucking your money.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that's part of what makes Amway a scam. There is no real training on how to make sales or recruit new suckers into the Amway cult. That's why the IRS won't allow Amway Ambots to make deductions like the big Amway functions because Ambots are unable to show an increase in revenue after paying big bucks to attend those scam shows. Amway cult meetings are social events. It's unrealistic to expect to learn sales techniques or income increases after paying to attend. The only people who expect to make money from attending these meetings are the Diamonds running the Amway tool scam.
