Amway training audios are so funny!

Good grief are they still around? I thought somehow Amway had played itself out. You are right the focus is not on the products or service. They just have to have that in order to be legal. The real purpose is to recruit more people under you, that is how you make your money. So in effect product or no product it is a pyramid scheme. I was approached years ago but did not look at the videos that they left me. I just gave them back when the people who approached me came back. I just said I was not interested.

Ohh, I'm not into it but a friend of mine is. I don't know if they are making good money with it. I have not seen some evidence yet. Well, in any venture if they work hard for it, they will really earn with it. It all depends on the person. I have the AMWAY audios but I haven't set a time for it too. If i got some good hints, well and good. I can use it for my own business but not to involve myself with AMWAY. I can't sail many rivers in one single time. Good Luck to those who are doing well with AMWAY. Our destiny all depends on the amount of time each one is willing to give for something.

i ever seen the amway presentation. you might say thats a funny thing seems people applauding for themselves by watching audios. but when you attended in them live, you would know how would the feel be. on the first time it seems ridiculous to do that till i realize that there is an effect for our ownself. its like motivating your own self and doing better things. the atmosphere would make you feel that you able to sell any quantity of their product. its really good marketing, in my opinion. unfortunatelly i am not interesting in marketing world :)

A co-worker of mine was involved in Quixtar and invited me to one of their seminars at a local conference center one evening. Basically, it was the team leader giving his team members a motivational speech. He and his wife really played to role to. Had a limo bring him up, he and his wife decked out in armani clothes and rolex watches. His team was really pumped up. I'm sure the products are good but you have to buy so much and I'm not into programs that require you to buy more than you need. I believe that's the downside of nearly all MLM type programs that require you purchase to maintain membership. Ed

That sounds... interesting. I have not watched any Amway videos myself so I can't really comment. But I guess their focus is not on the products - more on selling.

yes, i tried amway about three times and shaklee two or more..but i had many reason to fail..the goals set up is basic...you sign up people and blah blah you get rich..but I found out it takes over 200 people that you have to sign up under you to get maybe ...maybe..one good one? this is just data I picked up but i think it is true as a lot of people I know who were hard working couples (couples were the best as they worked as a team to sign up other couples mono on mono? ) i seen a lot of time spent on endless meetings and buying demo products and you have to pay for everything..even the literature was not free..and getting a lot of telephone calls from you UPSTREAM trying to shake you up..and you were expected to do a lot of work but they made it seem like fun..yeah..ok sorry, you made me remember this stuff..but I still run into these same dealers and when I try to explain that its all about signing people up and that is not that easy and other negative stuff they suddenly get lost..lol..or avoid the truth? I guess we all would like to get rich somehow...if it was that easy..why would anyone work in the Amway plant in Ada, Michigan..as I took the tour and the workers there in the plant are always ask this..the answer? someone has to make the product...yeah..i will give up being rich because I want to be a factory rat..lol..i was a factory rat for 28 years..lol..so i am sill not rich..but who is/?

Trying to change a persons buying habit is a very hard thing to do. I was in Quixtar for a short time but my sponsor wasn't supportive. I think the problem lies in there's no personal training only tapes and books believe me I spent a small fortune on all the tapes. Now I'm in MyPowerMall and again I have 6 people signed up but no one's buying anything. Not even me anymore. Times are tough and have to shop around for bargains. I need money now to pay my bills I can't wait 20 years for my downline to be built big enough to support me.

I had been involved with a similar company several years ago called Trek Alliance. They mainly sold water purifiers and non-FDA-regulated vitamin supplements. The company was sued in late-2005 and agreed to give refunds to its distributors as part of a settlement. Unfortunately, the company had only agreed to set aside $600,000 for refunds, and there were tons of people seeking them. The amount I spent on company products and fees totaled more than $4,200, and my refund was just over $200. When looking for a work-at-home job, never pursue anything that requires the purchase of inventory. Also, steer clear of the "Aussie 2-Ups," or programs which give your first two sales to your sponsor/upline before you can get paid.

The products I've used were good, but I think the sales people must make more money from their downlines than from selling products. Every one of them I've run into has been very pushy trying to get me to join. The whole time, they talk about money and how rich someone in their upline is or what type of car they just bought... but say almost nothing about the products. Sounds like my real-life experiences are almost like the training material you heard.
