I always like hearing from former Amway employees. Love this one who talks about the drivel he heard from the Amway speakers. Drivel? He’s too kind. Around here we refer to it as bullshit from the stage. I can see how it would be really tough to take an entire weekend’s worth of bullshit from an Amway convention and try to condense it into an hour or so’s worth of a tape that can be sold to the brainwashed ambots. I mean those bullshitters on the stage at Amway conventions all say the same thing. Maybe slightly differently. You get one husband and wife team he worked at a gas station and she works as a waitress. The next husband and wife team he cleans portapotties and she works as a cashier. The rest of their stories are the same. A dear friend showed them the Amway plan, they borrowed money to get gas in the car to get to their first Amway convention, and now here they are with bazillions of dollars rolling in every month from Amway.
Yup the real money to be made is from the tools. Who gets to
profit share in the tool scam money? The Diamonds. They don’t really want other
IBO’s getting to Diamond no matter how much they lie and gush about how they
want you to stand on the stage with them. Cause if you’re standing on the stage
with them that means you get some of the profits from the tools and that’s less
piece of the pie for the longtimers.
First, I’m happy to see you’re not intimidated by the dain-brammaged
Am-Wankers. In the seventies, I was hired by an Emerald to distill an entire
weekend, yes..Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday..into a ninety-minute
cassette tape, those pushed upon subordinates by the ‘uplines’. Editing all
that drivel into something palatable was a real job, as I couldn’t distinguish
between ‘information’ and babbling..especially after listening to the Charlotte
Diamonds drone on about nothing for hours.It all sounded like horse-hockey, and
was. That said, it was evident to me, an outsider, where the real money was
generated...and it wasn’t in the product, but the ‘tools’...an exaggeration to
be sure. ‘TOOLS?’ The only ‘tool’ I saw was a Diamond Direct lying through her
teeth. (Both of them) It was an experience I would not want to repeat, but I’m
wiser for the experience. It’s truly sad, and immoral, to monetarily rape the
innocent, and those involved should be ashamed. They’re not, and more’s the
pity...greed-heads, all.
I'm glad the truth is starting to come out concerning the things that Amway calls "tools." These tapes or CDs are nothing but recycled speeches and assorted bullshit-spouting from the various "functions" (big conventions) that are run by the AMO subsystems.
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever been to a function, you know that it is nothing but a fantasy-festival, composed of cheering, shouting, screaming, and endless speeches made by Amway big pins. Nothing of any practical business importance is said. A real business convention would have a list of scheduled speakers and their lecture topics, discussions groups for follow-up, printed material for distribution, and a question-and-answer session after every speech. None of these things happen at an Amway function.
If you get your up-line alone at a bar, and buy him a few drinks, you'll get him to admit that "functions" serve only three purposes:
1. To collect ticket fees from the IBOs who attend.
2. To "fire up" the attending IBOs with energy and determination to remain in Amway, so that they will pay their monthly dues, and recruit new members.
3. To tape material from the various speeches given, so that it can then be edited and used as "tools" for IBOs to purchase and read.
That's it -- nothing else. If you spend the considerable sum of cash required for these annual functions, you are simply flushing money down the toilet.
Thanks for summing that up Anonymous. And yup those are the 3 reasons why Amway cult leaders host functions. It's to make themselves richer. It would be highly unlikely for any Ambot attending a ScAmway function to have an increase in sales or downline afterwards. Though they'll be fired up for a few days thinking those fantasies are possible.
