One of our readers shares some idiotic Amspeak slogans that Amway losers love to spout off:
One thing about Amway that is
very clear: The people who run it love to make up slogans and idiotic claims
that are meaningless, but which can be shouted at potential recruits or critics
in a triumphant, loudmouthed fashion. Here are twelve of them:
“In Amway you buy from your own store!” (absolutely irrational)
“People in Amway are PROSUMING, not consuming!” (meaningless fake language)
“When you succeed in Amway you’ll have residual income for life!” (totally
false, and Amway now tells IBOs never to say it)
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win!” (who says?)
“Nobody in up-line makes a profit from tools!” (a complete lie)
“If you attend a function, you’ll be six months ahead of everyone else who
doesn’t attend!” (really? Is the function magical?)
“If you don’t take Nutrilite every day, you’ll shrivel up and die!” (when an
IBO spouts this to you, answer “OK -- don’t take it for a month so that we can
test you theory.”)
“Almost no one in Amway gets divorced!” (yeah, sure.)
“Amway is partnering with big Fortune 500 companies!” (completely dishonest
bullshit)
“Your job is a pyramid scheme!” (oh yeah? Then why am I getting a salary,
benefits, and a pension from it?)
“People who aren’t in Amway are broke losers!” (yeah, like my uncle who is a
multimillionaire from his import-export business. He never joined Amway)
“Amway is looking for sharp, energetic go-getters like you!” (yes, of course.
That’s why you sign up every down-and-out schmuck whom you can drag to a
meeting.)
I hope everyone reading this will come up with other insane Amway lies, and
post them here.
These lies come from overenthusiastic assholes in the AMO subsystems, but the Amway corporation does nothing at all to disassociate itself from the falsehoods. Why? Very simple -- because the AMO subsystems are the conduit through which Amway gets the great bulk of its product sales.
ReplyDeleteAmway knows that those twelve lies are lies. But the company won't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
That’s right Anonymous. Amway disassociates itself by saying they’re not responsible for what is said at Amway cult meetings. Then who is responsible? Amway is a blame the victim criminal enterprise.
DeleteHere are a few more for the list:
ReplyDelete"Even if you don't make money in Amway, you'll become a better person!" (yeah, sure -- you're always a better person when you're bankrupt.)
"Amway is a biblical and God-fearing business!" (yeah, God wants you to be driven by sheer greed for money and big-pin awards).
"Amway is a revolutionary new business model for the future!" (oh sure -- like Avon, Tupperware, and the Fuller Brush Company).
Anonymous - yeah sure. You’re always gonna become a better person or a nicer person when you get scammed out of your money and end up going bankrupt. Thanks to ScAmway.
DeleteAmway the Cult of Greed. Yeah, that’s a really crazy thing. They Amway cult leaders talk about a biblical and God-fearing business. Many other recruits were probably not even of any type of religious persuasion before getting involved with the Amway cult. Amway - the Cult of Greed.
Ironically I think that Amway bought Fuller Brush or perhaps just their inventory when they shut down.
Anna, my mother used to say that the Fuller Brush man always had a nice selection of various types of brushes, and he always had something that you needed, and he was a nice guy. He was just an honest door-to-door salesman trying to make an honest living for his family -- there was no scam or deception involved.
DeleteThe same was true for Tupperware, which made a good and useful product that housewives needed. And the parties were fun, and the prices were fair.
These were honest businesses, although they are pretty much out-of-date in modern circumstances. They were not evil and corrupt rip-offs, like all MLM rackets are, which try to rope you into being a distributor with fake promises of riches.
