Does your Facebook feed or your emails or running into people result in some sales pitch for an MLM scam?
Amway Ambots aren’t the only shysters out there scamming people. There are all kinds of pyramid schemes where people think they’re going to get rich quick and they have to prospect everyone they know and everyone they don’t know too. They look at people as suckers they can con into buying their shit. They become all possessed with the almighty dollar.
The Internet is just blowing up with someone who’s hitched their wagon to a scammy MLM scheme and wants to sell you their shit.
Mostly people get involved with MLM scams to make extra money and work from home.
Just think of the Amway pitches out there. How would you like to work part time from your home 10 to 15 hours a week to make a few thousand dollars a month.
Like many other MLM scams Amway has a bunch of overpriced shitty substandard products for sale and they have a huge flock of salesreps flogging their shit.
The Amway cult leaders brainwash their flock to believe that they’re “Independent Business Owners” and that they’re big shot hot shit entrepreneurs.
OK Figure this out Ambots! An entrepreneur is a person who has created their own product or service that they sell to real customers.
We’re not talking about making fake accounts for your cats and your comatose aunt who’s in a nursing home and buying products to look like you have downline buying products the way Amway Ambots do.
An entrepreneur is NOT a commissioned salesrep for another company’s products and services. You have NO control over the product, the price, or even how to sell it. Amway has non-compete clauses in the IBO contract the Ambots have to sign restricting how a product can be marketed for sale. If Amway has an Internet presence then Ambots can’t sell online too. All Ambots can do is create a landing page and refer suckers to buy overpriced shitty Amway products.
The sane world understands that. An Amway Ambot who’s been brainwashed by his (her?) cult leaders doesn’t “get” that.
Here’s the other thing. If your scam MLM has 100 other people in your area flogging the same shit its called oversaturation in the marketplace! Legitimate companies who use sales reps have a set number of people covering a region and they don’t overlap. Because they’d be dumb fucks. You don’t see Coca Cola sending 100 sales reps to cover all of Sacramento. That’s because these 100 reps would be bugging the shit out of all the retailers. No one makes money and then the retailers get pissed off and decide to stock only Pepsi.
Look at Amway Ambots as bugging the shit out of everybody to recruit them into the Amway cult or convince them to buy Amway’s shitty products. No one wants that. Except Amway Ambots are such arrogant pricks they don’t see they’re making assholes out of themselves.
Being an entrepreneur gives you the opportunity to make money at something you’re good at doing. Maybe you’re good at making pillowcases, photography, fixing cars, whatever.
If you’re good at being a commissioned salesperson then that’s what you should do and depending on the industry you may sort of be an entrepreneur. If you sale houses you probably work out of a head office and you’re still bound by their rules and commission structure but your hours are dictated by what’s good for your customers. You might work independently but still part of a bigger picture. Or you might start your own real estate office. Same if you’re a lawyer or doctor. You might start out working for a company or a group of similar professionals and eventually you might start up your own office when you get more experienced.
Being an Amway Ambot is not being an entrepreneur. It’s being a low paid commissioned sales rep and you’re probably not very good at it anyway. No one wants to buy boxes of your overpriced shitty laundry soap. No one wants to join your scummy Amway cult.
What are you great at? Find a way to make money at it and become an entrepreneur.
Are you really great at selling laundry soap that another company has created and priced and sets the rules for?
Entrepreneurs who have a product or service to sell to other people have a better chance of becoming wealthier than people who help other people sell their stuff. Amway Ambots help DeVos and VanAndel sell their overpriced shitty products. Well mostly Ambots self consume and stockpile that shit buying it themselves. But you get what I’m saying.
Amway Ambots are brainwashed to believe they’re entrepreneurs.
The rest of the world is laughing at you Amway losers.
Anna, sometimes I actually feel real sorrow for Amway IBOs. They are being screwed, and much of the time they do not deserve it.
ReplyDeleteI think of some lonely person living in a depressed rural rat-hole, with a barely life-sustaining job, hoping against hope to be rich, or at least save some money. An Amway creep comes along and convinces the poor guy that he can be an "entrepreneur," and create a massive business that will bring him financial freedom.
The poor guy is in no way competent or smart enough to do much more than earn enough to pay his bills. He has neither the energy or wherewithal to become an "entrepreneur." But here is some goddamned Amway creep convincing him to give what little extra cash he has to the rotten Amway racket of exploitation.
And it's all a massive scheme of disguised theft. Amway (and all the MLM rackets) are something from the foulest pit of hell.
Hi Anonymous. Yes certainly in the situation you have a described where a struggling person gets conned into Amway and is scammed out of money they can't afford to lose or go into credit card debt buying Amway shit. Occasionally I have felt empathy for respectful Ambots who have shown up here to leave a comment. These are people who are looking to make a better life for themselves and unfortunately have been scammed into thinking Amway is the path to riches. And as you pointed out these are people who don't have the finances or intellect to become a real business owner. They have no creativity to become an entrepreneur and create their own service or product that is marketable - something that people actually need and want to buy.
DeleteBut the majority of Ambots who leave comments all over the Internet defending the Great Amway God are nasty miserable evil bastards who sneer and insult and think they're better than the rest of the world just because they're in Amway. They clearly need more instructions from the assholes in their Amway upline on how not to say negative. Those motherfuckers I have no sympathy for and hope they lose a lot of money in their pursuit of scamming victims.
And we press on hoping Amway will burn in the hell they made. Amway is pure shit evil and it tends to attract people with the same qualities.
I agree. Most IBOs in Amway are nasty and unpleasant persons whom you wouldn't even want as visitors to your home.
DeleteThe cause, I believe is as follows: they are deeply resentful and angry that they can't develop a down-line, that they can't sell any meaningful number of Amway products, that all their free time is taken up by pointless Amway meetings and other chickenshit things, and that they are shelling out at least $500 a month for nothing at all.
Naturally they are seething with rage and resentment, but they have to keep it under wraps when they are at all of those stupid meetings and night owls with their up-line and other IBOs. Instead they take it out on anyone who dares to criticize Amway.
The AMO subsystems actually encourage this, because it keeps IBOs from actually thinking about what a lousy system they have become entangled in. If IBOs are angry at those who criticize Amway or who are not involved in the racket, then they won't have the time or energy to analyze their own horrible predicament.
Exactly Anonymous. Normal people do not want an Amway Ambot inside their home insulting the contraband products and sneering at them because they're not "business owners".
DeleteI can see how losing a lot of money and realizing you got scammed can make people angry. But is the solution to stick around and take your anger out on everyone else - or to quit?
The Amway cult leaders have a lot busy work for the Ambots like you said to keep them distracted from thinking about what a lousy scam they got involved in. If you're not attending an Amway meeting every night or hanging out with Ambots bragging about your PV then that time away can make the Ambot spend time with other people not inside the Amway cult and maybe these are the people who can get him to see how Amway has changed him into a nasty sneering condescending bastard who isn't seeing the promised money and help him figure out to quit. A lost Ambot makes the upline furious because they'll lose a few pennies commission on everything that Ambot buys from ScAmway.
