A reader shares their story. And haven’t we all heard
this story. Why does everyone have a bunch of assholes in their Amway upline
who are always so busy but they’ll squeeze out some time to fit you in and
expect you to kiss their ass. Could have been sitting there in Coffee Bean…..
Lol, so yesterday my friend called me to schedule a meeting today. I asked
her the things like how much she is paying for tools ($100 per month), how much
is her total expense far, and how come this business does not have a normal
plan, projection, etc like a normal business. I think I should give up on my
friend coz she answered me like a robot. She mentioned all of her expenses she
does not consider them as expenses, but rather as investments. Mind you my
friend background is accounting, so it rather confused me. As far as accounting
goes, if you don't put it as expense, you can only put the costs as assets, but
you can't put those kind of stuffs as assets coz they're literally worthless.
So, today I met her Emerald upline at Coffee Bean (something like Starbucks). I
didn't know I was going to meet this Emerald, as previously my friend said
I was going to meet his wife or what. Then 15 minutes before scheduled
appointment she messaged about this Emerald shit giving me time despite his
busy schedule, and I immediately mentioned I will be late when I could've made
it in time. I was trying to look whether this stupid Emerald is really as busy
as he says (I think not). I arrived 20 minutes late and the sack of shit hadn't
arrived yet lol. Mind you our "short" time of discussion lasted for
like 2 and a half hours coz the Emerald is damn busy.
The person started giving usual bullshit of 2-5 year, 10hrs/week and I can get
$10,000/month as passive income. Then he explains his statistics of 1,000
sample size is big enough to represent the whole population. I told him
straight away that I've never heard those theory before and my background is
Mathematics. He gave me some stupid excuses, then continue with usual Amway
does everything for him, so he can concentrate on sales. Yeah, true Amway does
everything for him and charge him a huge margin on their products. In the
meantime he kept telling me accounting is shit and waste of time, knowing full
well that I do account in my current company. If accounting is shit probably
Amway should ditch it as well and pay those diamond and emerald anyhow they
want hahaha ...
He also said when he went to Emerald function in Los Angeles last year, there
were few thousands of people (he mentioned only 3,000 at first, but later
didn't want to be specific). I later asked him how many people are in Scamwork
21, which he answered few hundred thousands. Lol, so the foolproof system only
has success rate of around 1%? And they still want to tell me it's 100% success
rate?
We then proceeded to compensation plan, which he explained to me in details coz
I pushed really hard on that. My conclusion is, if he only has 3-4 legs at
Platinum, his "passive" income should not be at $10,000, but more
like $3,000 to $4,000 gross even with the bonus. What a fucking liar shit
Emerald. He mentioned he has lots of downline at 3% so he can earn another 18%
on them. No shit, the downline at 3% probably only spend $400 max per month, so
he got like $72 from each of them. And I really doubt he has lots of 3%
downline. 3% downline probably already quit after long time not making money,
but losing money for buying shitty products.
We then moved on to what they call CEP, which basically means subscription of
stupid ass cd and books, and functions. They dare to tell me first that they
sell those tools at costs, then when I pointed out to them, cd don't cost $6 to
make. You can buy blank cd at $0.10 or maybe less. With the production costs
and freight, I doubt that cd costs more than $2 per piece. Not to mention the
book they lent to me costs like 5 times of Amazon's price. They then changed
their tune that it is a for profit organization, need to pay office rent,
employees, etc. They also said it's not about the costs, but about the quality.
Wow, what is the difference in quality between the very same book from them (at
$10) and from Amazon (<$2)? They then mentioned about my college degree and
investment on it. Excuse me? College degree is something with value, something
that is required by a lot of company to get a decent job. It's not a useless
shit of cd and functions with no contents.
I tried to close the discussion by saying I can't agree with the system that
benefits from its member by a lot (basically saying it's a scam). And wow, they
are very persistent on me trying some more cd and books or some of Amway products.
I told them I don't want to waste time on overpriced products and that I hated
those cds, can't stand listening to other cd anymore, the cds are useless and
give nothing beneficial. Then they tried to force me to listen to other cds coz
they have few millions of cds (OMG! are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!). I almost
rolled my eyes coz $4x(few hundred thousand of members)x (few million cds) =
gee no wonder Jim and Nancy Dornan and those asshole Diamonds are rich. So, I
flat out told them no, no , no and NO! Yet they still tried to sold me so I
just told them I won't change my mind no matter what and that their system is
shit (and implying it's a scam) haha ... I think I should be free now from
them. Hurray!
The story is so utterly typical of the Amway mindset. Amway freaks lie and lie and lie, and they are completely unashamed of doing so. You point out one lie, and they just follow up with another.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing: they see nothing wrong in telling a potential recruit that his current job is worthless and stupid. Is that good salesmanship? Is that the way to convince someone?
There is something about the entire Amway culture and way of thinking that is downright repulsive. These people are pushy, obnoxious creeps.
Anonymous - the only people with any chance of being in the tiny percentage of 1% of Amway participants who make money have to be the best damned liars out there.
DeleteMost sales people want to become friendly with their potential customer in order to increase their chances of a sale. Amway Ambots are the opposite. They're nasty insulting obnoxious assholes.
