I've been to enough meetings with a friend of mine and I thought they were gonna pass out jogging suits and Pumas before the UFO lands. Scary.

I could ignite the crowd with enthusiasm, showing them exactly why they are wasting their time and money and what a great thing that is, the Amway way.

Nothing has changed and Amway and the high level Tool Goon Squads have just adjusted documents and internal business practices to protect themselves and BS the low level IBO's into thinking "their business" is protected. This is the furthest thing from the truth as signing up will require giving up certain rights. An IBO doesn't own a business just the right to be screwed without lubricant.

I remember being told not to talk to people who quit because they "failed" so why not ask a successful Amway IBO? It's a smart way to distract you from the issues which is the high prices and the tool scam.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-69668827931214400092015-02-24T21:13:48.109-08:002015-02-24T21:13:48.109-08:00Amway isn't the only one but they are the moth...Amway isn't the only one but they are the mother of all MLM scams. Outright scam. They bring you in for a "low, low" price at first, then tell you that you need to buy some "tools" to learn how to grow your business, need to buy more product to get your "discount" price, etc. By the time you find out that nobody wants to buy that overpriced product with that creepy "Amway" name on it you're in too deep to just admit to yourself that you got scammed. That's why once they lure you to a meeting they want you to buy in right away because they know you won't touch it with a ten foot pole if you do any research on what a scam Amway is. And the funniest thing of all is that Amway "discount" itself. Buy a garage full of soap to get it at the same price as a single bottle of it at your local retailer. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
