The Nerve?

I just wrote a blog post about Amway and covid 19.  People are being mandated to stay home and to practice social distancing which us probably killing Amway IBOs and their ability to recruit and attempt to sell products.  Travel is being restricted and in Hawaii where I live, visitors will soon be quarantined for two weeks upon landing and many places are closed and restaurants are limited to take out orders only.  

In Hawaii, we are a tourist based economy so many people are being laid off or having reduced hours of work.  We and the rest of the country will be hurting and people will likely take time to recover financially from the carnage of covid 19 and that’s not including the stock market.  Because I’m already retired, my retirement portfolio was in high yield bonds and guaranteed interest accounts but many likely lost a small fortune due to the volatile stock market.

But what ticks me off is hearing that the diamonds are still trying to hold functions with a live stream which basically costs nothing but apparently are charging the full function price.  They have their nerve if they are doing this.  They allegedly make bank as diamonds but have the gall to try and extract cash from down line by running bull shit functions that are highly unlikely to help downline IBOs to make any money.  What a joke.

Amway IBOs and prospects, if you read this and still pay for a useless function, ask your upline diamond why they don’t do this fir free since they make money off downline business.  Why don’t they do this free all the time since downline would have more cash fir Amway products.  But they won’t answer or do any free functions as diamonds are very likely dependent on function money to survive.  Take that to the bank.

How does a business make $$$? It sells a product or a service for a fee. Any $ left over after expenses is called profit.

There is no profit in selling Amway products. The plan shows how to make $ selling the product by buying the products at wholesale and selling them at retail thus making a 30% profit. In practice this never happens because Amway in the 21st century is a wholesale buying club. No one sells the product to a customer anymore. The only profit in the Amway business is in selling the tools to the downline by the kingpin distributors and the corporation selling the products to the IBOs. Amway was not designed as a pyramid, but it operates as one.

Amway IBOs also can't go to Starbucks or Barnes & Noble or shopping malls to chat up strangers. And if you have to stay at home, how can you draw chalk circles for potential recruits?

An "on-line" function sounds about as inviting as having sex with a blow-up doll.

Not exactly my idea of a good time quarantining, but I think you could make a much better version. :)
