I’m sure there are many wives,
family and friends of ambots out there who hated listening to the dreaded Amway
tapes or CD’s that were purchased weekly. Invest in your Amway business demand
the fucking Amway cult leaders when what they really mean is invest in our tool
scam and make us Amway cult leaders richer.
These tapes and CD’s the Amway upline said were crucial to building your
business! “If you’re serious about building your business you must buy the
tapes!” That was the broken record recording from the Amway cult leader.
Not a single one of those CD’s offered any solid business advice. Mostly
they’re what could loosely be termed motivational or more correctly “see how I
overcame life’s obstacles to become successful at Amway”. These bastards all
have the same story told slightly differently. The wife works at McDonald’s.
The husband works on a pig farm shovelling shit. Their meager incomes barely
cover their monthly living expenses. Then a very dear friend showed them the
Amway plan. They had to scrape money together to make it to the Amway
functions. And how come every one of them had to borrow $20 from a relative to
put gas in the car’s tank to drive to a function? And now look at them. They
worked hard abusing their downline and now they have a mansion and fancy cars
and walk the beaches of the world.
Its bad enough listening to this shit. But get this. Ambot cranked the stereo.
Now it became like one of those fire and brimstone sermons southern revival
meeting held underneath a big tent that I’ve seen in the movies where the
preacher is screaming at the congregation at the top of his lungs so that they
can find salvation.
Play any one of those Amway tapes or CD’s with the stereo cranked and you get
the same results: ARE YOU CORE? WHY NOT????? ARE YOU TAKING DOUBLE X EVERY DAY?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU DON’T TAKE NUTRILITE VITAMINS? YOUR
BODY WILL SHUT DOWN AND DIE!!!!!
Oh my God. I hated those tapes! All those fucking Amway assholes screeching at
the top of their lungs. What was even worse was sometimes we’d be driving
friends or family somewhere and Ambot would blast the stereo. Very rude! How
are we supposed to have a conversation with our guests with some Amway asshole
on a CD screaming: DON’T DRESS LIKE A SLUT FOR BUSINESS MEETINGS!!!!!!!!!
Its bad enough listening to that shit at normal volume but cranked as high as
the car stereo will go? Ohhhh. Shudders. The horror of it.
Then there are the stacks of CD’s that were never opened and listened to. We
were always told that our sponsor and/or upline would take them back and refund
our money. Nope, that was another lie. When Ambot got out he asked his sponsor
Captain Fuck Up to take the unopened CD’s back and refund his money. Captain
Fuck Up refused stating he was broke and had no money to refund him. Well of
course he’s broke – he’s in Amway! Ambot went further upline and finally got
someone who offered ten cents apiece. Well yeah even at ten cents that’s too
much money for that shit but Ambot bought them for $2 to $5 apiece mostly on
the higher end $5 there weren’t too many that were cheaper than that but there
were some and that money was paid to Captain Fuck Up who didn’t always give him
the CD’s he’d purchased because he’s a disorganized asshole and couldn’t find
them.
To this day every now and then I come across an Amway CD that got stuck
inbetween books or real CD’s of singers we like or crammed at the back of
a cupboard and when I pull something out this piece of shit Amway CD falls out
and promptly gets a one way trip to the trash can.
Yep we’re just a couple more suckers who got ripped off in more ways than one
being in the Amway business.
Yup its time to send out another big old FUCK YOU to Amway!
There is definitely a religious background to Amway. The meetings and functions are very much like those old revivalist gatherings where some Bible-thumping asshole would scream at you about hellfire.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that at an Amway meeting, some fat-assed Platinum or Diamond will scream at you about not being CORE, or not buying enough tools, or not stocking up on energy bars and Amway water, or not recruiting enough suckers into your down-line.
Same revivalist asshole, different religion.
LOL Anonymous. That's very true. Hellfire damnation is part of the abuse dished out at Amway cult meetings.
DeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteMany of these CDs are audios cut at major functions so if people waste their time long enough in Amway, they will get the privilege of buying what they already paid to hear!
But sarcasm aside, I wanted to take this time to point out that in-person functions have resumed for AMOs and these include the big money-making conferences which are the lifeblood of higher Pins. It's not about products. It's about suckering IBOs to these conferences no fewer than four times a year.
I hope I reach one person out there by telling them not to go. If your function hasn't happened yet, don't be pressured into buying a ticket for it. If your function already happened and the next one is already being promoted for the next quarter, don't feel pressured or bullied to buy your ticket. Platinums and above will put the heat on people to buy tickets during the next function while they are already at the current function. This is exactly what these AMOs do. Simply walk away and when you're out of sight, run away as fast as you can and don't return. The reason is that before you know it, you will be in debt and in a money pit.
Cut your losses. Don't give in. And get out!
Anonymous - when it comes to Amway buying what you've already paid to hear is all part of the tool scam! Not only that but all good little Ambots probably recorded the Amway cult meeting so they have it for free on their recording device and then they pay money to the Amway cult leader when the CD is available for $10.
DeleteNow that in person ScAmway functions have resumed we can get back to our regular programming on this cult meetings. Surprising because I thought Amway cult leaders would keep doing televised events and charge the same money for a ticket. That way the cult leader lowers their expenses and increases their profits.
It must be harder to brainwash Amway Ambots over video instead of in person.
Deliberately skipping an Amway function is a good first step to getting out of the fake business. Your up-line will freak out when you don't buy your tickets, but you need to stand firm and tell him you're NOT going.
ReplyDeleteLet the date of the function come and pass. Disregard all phone, text, and CommuniKate messages from your up-line, which will be numberless as the date of the function approaches.
When the date has come and gone, your up-line will be once again trying to contact you. Allow one phone call from him. Use it to tell him that you think the entire Amway racket is a fucking rip-off, and you want nothing more to do with it or him. And then hang up on the guy.
Dump all you printed Amway material and CDs or tapes into the garbage bin. Sell your unsold Amway products on eBay. Tell your other Amway acquaintances and associates that you are out of the racket, and don't wish to hear from them anymore.
You will be FREE.
You are so right. And this pertains to any Amway function (whether it's the $5 Weekly Meeting (known as the Business Briefing in my group), or the twice-a-year $15 "Success Seminars", or $93 quarterly conferences) along with other random events where you have to shill out a few dollars here and a few dollars there.
DeleteAnd this is exactly what I did when I left. I just stopped going and I stopped ordering. I didn't answer any calls or texts. And I just got tired of putting on a suit and acting fake nice to people for several hours every Thursday night.
I felt like a jerk ignoring calls and messages my Upline was a friend. But since, she has also gotten out and sees the scheme for what it really is. We talk and are friends again. She did apologize to me so that was a good thing.
And Amway kind of reminds me of walking into a casino (and I like casinos by the way). Some people will fawn over the blinking lights and the sounds and will get hooked even when they develop a bad gambling habit. They don't see the potential risks involved.
If people actually sat down and observed and blocked out the noise and ran some simple math, they would see what's really going on. They would also run away before they get in too deep.
Anonymous- this is all good advice. The fucking assholes in the Amway upline will be ruthless in their abuse when an ambot starts missing functions and buying shitty overpriced Amway products because they now know that line of income is going to dry up.
DeleteSomething real business owners understand that Amway losers don’t get is if you want customer retention you need to be nice to the customer. Hurling insults at your customers is not good for repeat business.
2nd Anonymous- when it comes to Amway it’s always more than a few bucks here and there! A few hundred bucks is more like it!
DeleteIt’s good that you can repair damaged relationships after leaving the Amway Cult. Most Ambots burn those bridges with their snotty Amway arrogant attitudes.
