One of our readers sums up what happens when an Amway Ambot finds a “hot” prospect:
The up-line assholes in Amway can't tell you how to recruit
new IBOs, because quite frankly they don't know -- getting somebody into Amway
is pretty much a pure chance.
You have a friend or relative who is somewhat dissatisfied, so you solicit him
and maybe he bites. You strike up a conversation with a stranger who is curious
about what you are suggesting, and maybe he comes to a meeting. You have a
long-time acquaintance who trusts you, and maybe he's willing to listen to a
few tapes. That's the best you can hope for, which is why almost no fresh IBOs
are recruited by new members of Amway. Getting a down-line is a pure crap-shoot
today.
This is also why, if you actually have a prospect, your up-line will scream
that you HAVE to get him -- immediately! -- to a group meeting or a sit-down
with the Emerald or Platinum. Up-line knows that you don't have a chance in
hell of recruiting the new guy. The only possible course of action is to get
the potential recruit to a place where he can be worked on emotionally, with a
lot of psychological pressure and lying.
The younger the prospect is, the more stupid, the more inexperienced, and the
more desperate, the better. Ordinarily sane and rational persons don't fall for
the Amway bullshit, but hapless and naive losers do.
Therefore the most important thing we can do is blacken the name of Amway and
all MLMs, so that they become a byword for fraud, cheating, and fake promises.
This has already been accomplished. Most persons snicker in disgust when they
hear the word "Amway." And this is why up-line urges you to look for
new recruits among those who have never heard the name Amway before. Those
would be young people, losers, and ditz-brained housewives.
