The Amway supporters cite quality and concentration as a means of justifying their average products but in reality, you can get similar products elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. Only difference is that you won't see "Amway" on the label.

I'm glad the information ...You're welcome. I'm glad the information helped you! The BBB has nothing to do with Amway as a business opportunity. The best way to shut these folks up is to ask them to prove that they actually make money. That's when the stuttering and the excuses begin. Good luck in whatever you aspire to.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-71130557932201374222015-09-22T19:50:23.076-07:002015-09-22T19:50:23.076-07:00Amway has to be sold as a "bait and switch&qu...Amway has to be sold as a "bait and switch" proposition, because of the average-to-middling-to-lousy quality of Amway products. Let's face it -- if Amway stuff was in any way competitive with other brands, it wouldn't need to pass down an MLM scheme before reaching customers. Amway isn't about selling products. It's about selling hope and dreams.<br /><br />Van Andel and De Vos came up with the brilliant racket of selling people on an IDEA and a CONCEPT rather than on an ordinary product. As long as you managed to do this, people wouldn't pay attention to the good or bad points about Amway stuff. Such things were irrelevant in the bigger picture of "having a dream." When you complain to your up-line that you're finding it difficult to sell Amway products to customers, what is their usual response? They say "We've learned that the best way to sell Amway products is to sell The Plan."<br /><br />That response is a dead giveaway about Amway's basic fraudulence. When your marketing strategy is more important than your product, and when recruitment of salespersons takes the place of actual sales, you're running a scam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-19914228399776922022015-09-22T18:57:03.877-07:002015-09-22T18:57:03.877-07:00I nearly got myself sucked into this!

The person then make some corrections to my resumé and then after that he asks for my number because he will call me if there is an "opportunity". He called few days later stating that we meet at a nearby coffee shop. So, I went to see him and he was there wearing a business attire. He then talks something about e-commerce and e-marketing literature and said about "eliminating the middlemen". After a few minutes, he starts talking about networking because I was looking for jobs and I asked if he can help me through the school portal. He did not want to answer that stating that he will teach me later, he then starts talking about amway as a way and how it is a legit and trusted business. He talks about amway being on BBB and made billions of dollars in sales which to me was irrelevant. He then talks about how I could be financially free in just a short amount of time and gave examples of people retiring at 25 but wouldn't tell his name. He then signs me up right away without my permission and last, he tells me: "Don't tell this to anyone because they will say yeah this and that." After that, I couldn't sleep for nights and my conscience kept on bothering me until I asked for a refund and delete my account. <br /><br />Thanks to you and Anna Banana for helping me out.
