All Amway ...Thanks for stopping by with your story. All Amway meetings are the same. Even in a book mway meetings from the 90's were described and I could have been sitting there in the same room. A lot of people are going to miss this comment from this older post so I'll bring it up in a new post sometime in the next few weeks.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-78030409444363011352013-05-23T12:08:20.426-07:002013-05-23T12:08:20.426-07:00I've been to 3 meetings. 2012 and 2013 are...I've been to 3 meetings. 2012 and 2013 are't that much different from the meetings I've seen described here. All of them would've been a huge waste of time had I not been scribbling notes on paper, drawings, making a To Do list for when I got home, researching Amway on my smartphone, and playing games. If nothing else, it was a learning experience that cults really do exist close by to you and that YOU can get suckered in too.<br /><br /><br />1st meeting highlights...<br />-Boring 1.5 hour drivel (I think... I felt it lasted longer, but time gets warped at these meetings).<br />-They talk about how Amazon does so well because if a product they're selling doesn't work out, they can always just sell other things. They don't take the risk that a manufacturer would<br />-the phoney asking of the crowd and individuals of what would you do if you had an extra $50 to $100 a month to spend<br />-Amways products are good, you "get paid to buy products", something that a supermarket or any other store wouldn't do for you<br />-Someone was asked how much they pay for a bottle of water. $2 was the response. The speaker says if you're going to spend that much, you may as well buy the Amway water... it's oxgenated, better for you, and it goes towards your PV<br />(I gotta refute this one on the spot here... oxygenated water doesn't have the research to support those claims, I fill my reusable water bottles with filtered water which is MUCH cheaper, some people get bottled water cheaper from Costco/Walmart, and I could tell by feeling and instinct alone that buying their oxygenated water is such a crock and waste of money)<br />-only $125 to start your own business... very little upfront cost<br /><br />2nd meeting at someone's house....<br />-they serve snacks and drinks like Nabisco and cola, but only provide a few tiny samples of the Amway stuff<br />-one portion mentioned how Amway's competitors has ingredients known to be used as poison, so they like to call BS on others when it works for them, but keep mum when they're the ones dishing it out<br /><br />3rd meeting...<br />-scare tactics like the job market is unstable, wouldn't it be nice to have more stability<br />-they did this for a previous meeting, but they got a bunch of diamonds to stand up one at a time, state their name and occupation, as a way to show that anyone can do it and how diverse the diamonds are. I could swear that it' the same group of diamonds who attend all of these meetings, so they're really not that many of them to begin with.<br />-we're going to be spending the gas money anyways.. get a ticket and go to the amway convention! It's 115 mile one-way trip from where this meeting was. No one was gonna spend that much time and money on gas, hotels, food, and admission! If they were gonna spend that much time and money, those plans would definitely take priority over Scamway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-2531286891639234142010-10-06T09:54:03.859-07:002010-10-06T09:54:03.859-07:00I remember the first open meeting I attended.

I found it a bit offensive that the speaker arrived 15 minutes late after making a big deal about being accountable.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-42860402755840153952010-10-05T20:33:48.518-07:002010-10-05T20:33:48.518-07:00Have you been an IBO within the past 4 years?
