One thing that legitimate
business owners learn (sometimes the hard way) is to always deliver what you
promised. Whether that’s a product or a service if you tell the customer that a
product will be available or a job will be complete at a certain time for the
agreed upon amount of money – make sure you follow through on your promise or
you won’t be in business very long. If there are delays or other issues let the
customer know ASAP. Depending on what the product/service is this will give the
customer the opportunity to go elsewhere to get what they need.
Customer fulfillment in a timely manner isn’t something that companies who do sales over the Internet can do better than a store where people walk into and do business. If I need toilet paper NOW I’m heading for the store to buy it. I don’t want to place an online order for it and wait a few days, a week, or more to get something that we need NOW. Same thing with tampons, diapers, etc. There are certain things that if you get a rude surprise you are out of you need to hop in the car and get to the store and buy it before it turns into a bigger problem. There is no online store that can deliver goods faster than most people can get to the store and buy it.
There are things that people can buy online cheaper than in a store and they don’t mind waiting a few days to get their product. Books. This is where Amazon makes a killing and they sell many other products besides books. Spend $25 and get free shipping. Most people would spend that much. Buy a couple of books and a CD and you’re there.
What does Amway have as a minimum charge to ship products for free to their customers? $100? $200? A reader says its $750 now? And one could argue that it doesn’t take much to buy hundreds of dollars worth of shitty Amway products either seeing as how they charge 3, 4, 5 times as much as what a similar product would cost everywhere else you shop. The kicker is that the free shipping is not for IBO’s. Less than 5% of Amway’s customers are not IBO’s. That means over 95% of Amway’s customers got to pay for shipping and most ambots have to spend way over $300 to reach their 100PV monthly quota to qualify for a commission check. You’d think those fucking cheap bastards at Amway’s head office could cover the shipping costs for all their customers because they’re already making a huge profit due to their grossly overpriced products.
Online stores usually advise their customer how long they can expect to wait to receive the product. Let’s say a week if the item is in stock if its going regular USPS. You could also pay more money to get the item couriered overnight.
What happens when you get that item and its not what you expected? That’s where online shopping gets a little tricky. Now you’re dealing with the hassle to go to the post office and ship it back and waiting for a replacement or a refund. Stores are a lot easier. You go in and say the shoes don’t fit or the milk is sour and you get a replacement product or a refund pretty quickly.
Products you buy in stores usually have some reason why you buy it. Maybe Tony is telling you that his cereal tastes great or you went to a friend’s house and they had this potato chip that tastes incredible or someone recommends you try something. Or maybe you just take a chance on a new product because of some advertising you saw. There was something that promised you this would be a product you’d like.
So how do Amway ambots make promises? Buy Amway’s Perfect Water. It cures cancer. Take Nutrilite vitamins. It cures AIDS. Try Amway’s prestige tampons. They don’t leak. Try Amway’s dish soap. It’ll get your dishes clean. A bunch of lies but what else do you expect from a lying scheming Amway asshole.
What’s the other thing Amway ambots overpromise and undeliver on? That Amway products are priced sky high to reflect their high quality. Holy fuck. If Amway priced their products to reflect their true quality, they’d open a store called “Nothing Costs More Than A Buck!”
Amway and their Ambot commissioned salespeople sell shitty overpriced products. Products that are substandard or generic quality compared to the lower priced, higher quality products sold in grocery and drug stores.
Amway ambots will shower gushing praise on Amway products to scam people into buying them thinking they’re better quality than they are. It doesn’t take long for people to realize the Amway products are shit and they got ripped off by the lying Amway asshole who sold it to them.

Amway is an inconvenient and
expensive way to shop. You order stuff, you have it shipped, you pay the
freight... and all for things that you could have easily and less expensively
bought at a local store.
Amway is a dinosaur in the retail market. It runs the business as if this were still 1959. And nobody except its own staff really ever buys the stuff!
And the quality of those Amway products? Either mediocre, so-so, lousy, or barely adequate generic crap. The biggest lie that the Amway Corporation pushes is that its products are “top of the line.” That is a pure fabrication. Amway products stink.
But it doesn't really matter. The actual purpose of Amway is NOT to sell products to the general public, but to recruit foolish people into joining Amway as IBOs.
And that’s the Amway Ambot deathtrap. Unable to deliver on their promise that Amway products are better than what you’re currently buying at the store. No one wants to keep buying expensive shit from these lying Amway bastards so customers take their business back to the stores where they can buy higher quality products at lower prices. Unable to deliver on promises - the Amway deathtrap. Everyone else sells better products for better prices and no matter how much Amway assholes lie, consumers figure out pretty fast they got fucked over.
That’s something that a real business owner never does. That is if they want to maintain their customer base and grow their business.

If they don't have customers coming then doesn't mean their leaders are going to take it out on their down line and other people? Would they also put their noses into other people private lives too?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - yes if an Ambot doesn't bring in new customers and especially new recruits they'll be mocked and tormented by the Amway cult leaders. Amway Ambots are the nosiest bastards around. They never stay out of other peoples private lives.
DeleteAmway has to use old-fashioned shipping delivery because of its rule that no Amway products can be sold to the public in a brick-and-mortar store.
ReplyDeleteDelivery by shipping is of course required if you are buying from some place far away, or overseas. It makes no sense for ordinary household necessities like bottled water or toilet paper or vitamin pills or toothpaste. In fact, getting things like that through the mail is insane, when you can buy them easily (and more cheaply) at the corner store.
I understand that Amway tries very hard to prevent private individuals from selling Amway products that they own on the internet. These people are usually ex-IBOs who have a shitload of Amway crap that they were never able to get rid of, and who want to sell it at a cut-rate price on-line to anyone interested. Since the ex-IBOs own the products, they have the right to do this. So why does Amway fight tooth and nail to prevent it?
The answer is simple. AMWAY IS NOT ABOUT THE SALE OF PRODUCTS. Amway is about its intricate tiered structure of up-line and down-line distributors and their financial rewards. Anybody who just tries to sell Amway products on-line (or in a brick-and-mortar store) threatens that structure, and so Amway has to fight them.
If I own a bottle of Coca-Cola, I can sell it to anyone I please for whatever price I ask. The Coca-Cola company can't stop me. I own that bottle of Coke.
For all its proclaimed bullshit about "free enterprise" and "property rights" and "the American way," Amway is in fact deeply opposed to the idea that its distributors have any rights at all about the Amway products that they buy. As far as Amway is concerned, the products are just a convenient cover for an MLM pyramid scheme, and they don't want those products sold outside of the scheme.
Amway is threatened by the sale of Amway products out of the distributorship system that Amway has created. This is proof that the products in themselves are meaningless -- they exist solely to allow the distributorship system to function.
The Amway products are truly meaningless. They could be selling bags of horse manure, and it would make no difference at all. In a pyramid scheme, nothing matters except the recruitment of new suckers, and convincing them to self-consume whatever products are being pushed.
Anonymous - you have hit on so many things that are true about Amway. And why getting involved in this scam is so wrong.
DeleteAmway cult leaders blab at every cult meeting about free enterprise and how the Ambots are "independent business owners" which just goes to show what brainwashing does to a person. Amway hates the idea of free enterprise and prefers communist and restrictive tactics that are imposed on the IBOs. Real business owners decide on what they sell and what the price is and what their business hours are and so much more. An Amway "business owner" has to comply with the rules and policies set out by Amway. The Amway cult leader controls the IBOs life in ways that real business owners don't have to deal with.
The only reason that Amway has a warehouse full of shitty overpriced products available for sale is to stay one jump ahead of being an illegal pyramid scheme. The pyramid scheme is all about recruiting new Amway cult followers and that's the focus more on selling Amway products to real customers. The people who really do own an Amway business you know people whose last name is Devos or Vanandel make their money by selling shit to IBO's. The various Amway cult sects their cult leaders make their money by selling "motivational" tools to the Ambots.
The whole thing is a big scam that brainwashed Amway losers fail to accept.
