Ambots Everywhere?

There are different levels of dedication that Amway IBOs and prospects fall into.  Typically, they often dress alike, look alike and sound alike.  They parrot the same teachings from upline which is why you may have heard the term "tapespeak".    While the systems have developed other means of distributing audios, they used to sell cassette tapes and the IBOs would often parrot the lines they hear on these tapes.  I'm pretty sure not much has changed except perhaps, the means on how information is transmitted to the downline from upline.

Sometimes it happens to the nicest of people and it often happens slowly and subtly. These are the signs that you are becoming indoctrinated and you are likely annoying your loved ones at this point.  Hopefully you haven't reached the point where your friends and family actually avoid you because they are tired of being recruited for Amway related activities and events.

These are the telltale signs that you might be an Ambot (Amway zombie);

*You're driven to recruit everyone you know. You may even resort to deception or outright lies to get people to meetings. Before you know it, your family and friends avoid you like the plague.

*You're encouraged to develop an unreasonable, irrational zeal for the products. Even so far as to justify the quality of toilet paper or to call the products prestigious. You may even argue the quality of energy drinks or about phyto-nutrients, something you may not even know about.

*A whole bunch of demands, promises, subtle threats of failure if you don't try hard enough are made in the promotional material and motivational seminars. i.e. If you quit, you are a loser destined to die broke and unhappy.

*Because the system is touted as the way you're going to make yourself fantastically rich, you're under pressure to drop any conflicting or competing interests such as your bowling league or golf club. Nothing else in life has importance except for the quest of financial freedom. All activities in your life must enhance your Amway business and have an affect on your financial future.

*Your upline soon becomes your most trusted friend. Your thoughts and feelings are shaped in part by the cds, meetings and functions.

Do you recognize these behaviors? Hopefully you aren't displaying these behaviors.
