A
searcher showed up here to ask “How do I get people to buy the expensive Amway
products.”
This is hardly the first poster to show up asking a similar phrased question.
And the answer to this question is not taught at Amway meetings so that’s why
Ambots search online. Overcoming objections is something the Amway cult leaders
do talk about. Those Amway bastards have an answer for just about everything.
When an Ambot tries to make a sale and the customer says its too expensive, the
ambot is supposed to respond something like don’t you want to pay more for
quality. Or Amway’s high prices reflect their quality. The usual Amspeak
bullshit. If Amway’s prices reflected their quality nothing would cost more
than a buck! LOL! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! So true!
When an Amway Ambot is “getting started in their own business” LOL they can
usually seduce family and good friends to make a purchase. And to those people
I have one word for you: ENABLERS!!!!! In the first couple of months the new
Ambot is motivated, perhaps made a few hundred dollars in sales. Then suddenly
the sales dry up. The Ambot pesters their customers. Some of the answers might
be nice they still have plenty of soap left, they don’t need more just yet. And
others might be for the high price of the product the buyer expected it to do a
better job than a less expensive similar product that can be bought at the
grocery store. And others will say that piece of shit Amway product didn’t do
what you promised! Fucking liar!
Most people like to think of themselves as smart shoppers. Everyone likes to
get a good deal, buy a product when its on sale. Most people know approximately
the prices of their usual household purchases. Then they see the price tag on
Amway’s catalogue. Holy fuck! Rip off!!!!
So the answer the Amway loser who wants to know how to get people to buy
expensive Amway products. You don’t. People don’t like to pay premium prices
for substandard shit. RIP OFF!!!!! You might get a few one off pity sales but
you ain’t gonna get repeat business.
Don’t forget in Amway its all about sell the hope not the soap. Ambots are in a
pyramid scheme. The object is to recruit people not to find customers to buy
expensive Amway products. If you can find a sucker in your downline its all
about them buying “from their own store” aka buying around $300 worth of shit
in Amway’s catalogue every month, then make commission from that sucker. And if
you find more suckers and those suckers find more suckers then you’re all gonna
be RICH!
Amway is an expensive buying club. You recruit people, bitch at them to buy at
least 100PV every month (around $300) and that’s how you make money. You make
pennies per sale. For Christ sake if you want to be a commissioned salesperson
there are better paying gigs out there.
That you don’t have to search online for how to find customers.
Every real businessman in a retail operation knows this simple truth: no matter how much you advertise and hype a product, in the long run THE PRODUCT HAS TO SELL ITSELF. It's like a popular song -- if it's going to be a hit song, the listening public has to make it a hit song.
ReplyDeleteFor retailers, this means your product has to be good, it has to work as promised, it has to be dependable, and it has to be priced within the consumer's budget range. And the consumer has to actually like it and want it.
A great deal of the whole Amway mentality is an attempt to get around this basic truth, or to make up excuses as to why it doesn't apply to Amway products. This is why when I asked my Amway sponsor how to sell the expensive products, he replied "I've found that the best way to sell the products is to sell the Amway Plan." I cringed when he said that, because I could see immediately that this so-called "business" was a total joke.
If Amway products were on the open shelves of a standard brick-and-mortar store, they would be blown out of the water by any competing products. Amway's products are just second or third-rate generic stuff for the most part. They simply do not compete well.
So IBOs in Amway have to perform a song-and-dance routine centered on "the Plan," and on your "hopes and dreams," and on the horrors of "an ordinary job," and how anyone who criticizes Amway is "an evil dream-stealer."
When the Coca-Cola company sells their soda, they don't give you this kind of asinine routine. They simply sell Coke to the people who like it and want it.
Anonymous - with the answer your Amway sponsor said - you figured out really fast that the only sales happening in Amway are to others who signed up to be IBO's. Amway is a closed market buying club and doesn't have real customers who actually want to buy their shitty overpriced products.
DeleteYeah if I was given a choice of having to spend $1 to buy a can of Coke or the same price of XS any flavor that's on a fire sale for $1 for a case - I'm buying the Coke! I want what tastes good. Not something like XS that tastes like cat piss!
In retail sales, only two things matter: whether you like the product, and whether you can pay the asked price for it. Nothing else.
ReplyDeleteEverything in Amway is a desperate attempt to get around these simple facts of life, and to pretend that other things matter, like whether you are a member of an Amway group, or whether you are loyal to somebody called your "up-line," and whether you need to establish PV for this month, and a bunch of other stupid and meaningless concerns.
Amway products could never make it independently in the real world of commerce. You can only sell them by pushing bullshit.
Anonymous - those are problems that Amway runs into. They do not sell good products at good prices. They sell substandard or generic at best products at overinflated prices. The only ones who love this are brainwashed Ambots.
DeleteWhen I buy a product, I just want to buy it, period. Nothing else. I don't want to listen to a song-and-dance about a "plan" to sign up in some MLM.
ReplyDeleteIf people understood this simple fact about customers, they would have nothing to do with Amway.
Anonymous - no one wants to get a song and dance about any pyramid scheme! And yes that is definitely something Ambots should have figured out before signing up with ScAmway.
