If someone is a good liar then
they have the potential to be part of the teensy fraction of 1% of IBO’s who
make money at Amway. This is because you have to lie all the time when
recruiting prospects or finding customers to buy overpriced shit.
Some of the lies that IBO’s are expected to tell:
“No, this isn’t Amway. We just use Amway to move our products.”
“Where else can you work a business 10 hours a week and earn $100,000/year.”
“After a few months you will be making thousands of dollars.”
“Business is going great!”
“You will save money by buying from your own store.”
“Everything to do with the business is tax deductible.”
“We’re debt free. We pay for everything in cash.”
“Amway owns the Amway Stadium in Orlando Florida.”
“Amway saves marriages. There’s a low divorce rate in Amway.”
“People who don’t succeed in Amway are either lazy or they didn’t try hard
enough.”
“Now is the time to get on board because exciting changes are about to happen.”
“People who are not involved with Amway are broke losers.”
“Tools are optional.”
“We will buy back your tools if you leave the business.”
“We sell high quality products and they’re reasonably priced for their high
quality.”
“You will collect residual income for the rest of your lives.”
“I work with a team of millionaires developing online businesses.”
And while you’re thinking about that, here’s a few more Amway lies:
“No matter whether you succeed
or not in this business, you will become a better person.”
“Being in Amway will teach you leadership and mentoring skills.”
“Amway is a business for God-fearing Christians.”
“Our voicemail system called CommuniKate is absolutely essential for success.”
“Amway is growing by leaps and bounds, every year!”
“Everything you read on the internet is a lie.”
“Amway has partnered with many Fortune 500 businesses!”
“All those bad stories you hear are about the old Amway. This is the new,
improved Amway!”
“Multilevel Marketing is the wave of the future. There won’t be any
brick-and-mortar stores ten years from now.”
“Attending an expensive, far-off function with several thousand screaming
lunatics is absolutely required to be successful in this business.”
“Losing money is essential if you’re going to make money.”
“Going to college is a waste of time.”
“Anyone who tries to persuade you not to join this business is evil and
malicious.”
“If your dream is big enough, the facts don’t matter!”
Of course the biggest lie is
denying the business has anything to do with Amway. That goes with tricking
prospects into coming to a meeting. Even when the prospect specifically asks if
this business opportunity has anything to do with Amway the IBO denies and
lies.
Its really amazing that IBO’s spout off lies and then claim they run an ethical
business. I love the bullshit about how every IBO out there thinks they offer
outstanding customer service. Almost every non-Amway entrepreneur out there
says the same thing about how they offer the best possible customer service and
how their excellent customer service sets them apart from everyone else.
I’d say the majority of people who sign up as IBO’s are probably honest people.
After they’ve been with Amway for a few months their conscience takes over and
they become uncomfortable lying to people about how great business is going and
how Amway is so wonderful. They’re not making any money and they’re spending a
fortune buying Amway products and tools. They cut their losses and quit. Amway
is a poor business choice for anyone because it has less than a 1% chance
of success but Amway has a zero percent chance of success for honest
people. It is difficult to fight with your conscience over the lies you
constantly have to tell about Amway. Its the good old “don’t speak negative”
bullshit aka “telling the truth”. Amway IBO’s refuse to acknowledge any truth
that might be negative. When someone asks how business is going the IBO who is
losing money has to lie and brag about how good business is and how its
growing. I mean you tell someone the truth about how much money you spend each
month and you get a check for $10 from Amway how desirable does that sound to a
prospect. When someone asks how the products taste the IBO has to lie and say
they taste great even though those food bars are nasty tasting shit. They have
to brag about Perfect Water and lie about how it cures every ailment known to
man.
All the lies are uncomfortable for honest people and they take their toll on a
person having to lie all the time about Amway.
Not everyone is honest. Some people have no trouble telling lies. There are IBO’s
who have been in Amway for many years. Maybe they’re making money or breaking
even. Maybe not. Either way they’ll still lie about how good business is and
how fast its growing. The IBO’s who are the best liars are the ones who stick
with the Amway business for years and have a shot of being part of the 1% who
make money.
Over the years they’ve perfected the art of telling lies. Our upline were
professional liars and what I’ve observed is that its easier for a liar to
become an Amway IBO than an honest conscientious person.
Professional liars only need apply.
All others - RUN as fast as you can.
Anna, that list of lies is right on target. Anyone who was unfortunate enough to be in Amway will confirm that those lies are told over and over again to recruits and IBOs.
ReplyDeleteSome of the lies are so obvious and stupid that it's hard to imagine anyone would swallow them. All brick and mortar stores are closing? Anyone not in Amway is a broke loser? Everything you read on the internet is a lie?
If you are a member of a cult (which is what the Amway racket really is) you'll believe every stupid thing that the cult leaders tell you.
Hi Anonymous. Well, my comment response to you must’ve gone off into the twilight zone! These lies are all mind control tactics the Amway cult leaders use to brainwash the Ambots.
