Persons would go door to door, visiting neighbors and friends, and they also would sell some products to family members. Self-consumption? Sure, there was some of that. But an Amway IBO (they were called "distributors" back then)was clearly recognized as a salesman, and nothing more.<br /><br />Small-town selling is fairly easy, since involves a lot of familiarity and folksiness. Door to door selling in a big urban environment isn't like that. It's tough and brutalizing. Naturally, persons who were greedy and lazy were drawn to the idea that all they needed was to recruit down-line and let them do the dirty work of selling.<br /><br />When people do something evil, they alwsys cover it up in the disguise of a new vocabulary. So it was necessary for Amway up-line to come up with bullshit jargon about "pro-sumers" and "direct selling" and "business opportunities" and "self empowerment" and "leadership" and all the other fakery that marks the Amway mentality. This jargon disguises the fact that up-line is leeching off down-line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
