Thanks to one of our readers who lets us know what type of recruits get sucked into the Amway cult.
Amway freaks don’t seem to understand
that normal people HATE being solicited for anything. When a stranger
approaches you with some stupid shpiel about a business proposition, most
persons get angry and impatient. When they get a phone solicitation, they hang
up quickly. When the Jehovah’s Witnesses ring their doorbell, they tell them to
get lost.
The majority of people, when they watch TV, simply mute a commercial when it
comes on. Nobody wants to listen to bullshit from some merchant. And yet these
Amway assholes think they will have luck bothering strangers in Barnes and
Noble or Starbucks or a fast-food place or a shopping mall with their stupid
Amway “Plan”.
Imagine that you’re sitting quietly in the park, reading a paper, or eating
your lunch at a counter, and some asshole comes up to you and wants to draw
little circles on a napkin to show you how to get rich. Your first reaction is
to think “Who is this fucking moron?” Your second reaction is to say “I’m not
interested; please leave me alone.”
This is why it is incredibly difficult to build a down-line in Amway. It is
also why on-line hucksters are now offering to sell you “ways to generate leads”
for your Amway business. The old procedure of making a huge list of all your
relatives, friends, neighbors, schoolmates, colleagues, and acquaintances is
now recognized (even in Amway) as basically useless. And accosting total
strangers is worse than useless.
So who gets recruited into Amway? Generally these types: the stupid, the
witless, the unemployed, the inexperienced young, the desperate, the dreamers,
the lonely, the dopes. It explains a lot about the cultural wasteland that one
encounters at any Amway gathering.
Recruitment of persons into Amway is very difficult these days, since the company's reputation is so bad. People just walk away when they hear the word "Amway," and they have also learned that the person trying to recruit them is deliberately avoiding the word. Our anti-Amway websites and blogs have made sure of that.
ReplyDeleteThere's a big push in Amway to get Gen-Z persons to sign up (those born after 2000), because they tend to be unhappy and hopeless. But Gen-Z types are also very cynical and untrusting, and they are not going to fall for some asshole IBO drawing chalk circles on a blackboard and taking about PV levels.
Anonymous - if a scam corporation is focusing their recruiting efforts on younger people that have never heard of them and their bad reputation - that tells us all we need to know. Legitimate companies recruit staff from a wide walk of life. Pyramid schemes resort to other bullshit to keep the money flowing upline. Interesting about Gen Z not falling for ScAmway. Hope that theory floats.
