Somehow I don’t believe selling products is a marketing strategy that would work for Amway.
The brother of a high school friend once invited me over to party out of the blue. I hadn’t actually seen him for about two years at the time and we hadn’t really been that well acquainted when he and his brother were friends.
I got to his house and immediately saw the Amway rep turned around and left.
If you have to be deceptive in that way to recruit sales reps it just doesn’t say much for your product.
I can say that their clothes detergent did work well for my mother who used it on my father’s heavily soiled work cloths from the foundry. After he retired she stopped using it however. That was the only Amway product that she found cost effective to use.
If you have to be deceptive to present your product or opportunity it says volumes about you. (not you per se).
I don’t deal with dishonest people and you did the right thing.
That said, Amway and many other notable network marketing organizations deliver real products for sale and a terrific opportunity to those seeking a little extra cash or a Plan B to get out of ....whatever.
That Plan B can become your Plan A and you are done with the J. O. B.
Who wants to die as part of the slave class and put up with whatever you put up with for 30-40 years?
Not me.
Amway and other Network Marketing companies offer a pre-packaged business for those who just haven’t thought of anything that would be a good business.
The best part is they also offer a tremendous opportunity for such low investment.
One can make of it what they will and in these days Network Marketing can make a whole lot of sense as an alternative to a dead end job with little opportunities.
But, those opportunities are only for those who are honest.
No one wants to do business with dishonest F&*cks and you did the right thing by walking.
They would have said anything to get you in their down line and stopped at nothing including putting you down worse than Tom Vu to goad you into doing stoopid things you really shouldn’t do or are not comfortable with.
If you turn it over and it still has warts well, then it’s still a toad with warts.
Better left alone.

That’s rare. Walmart pretty much put an end to Amway. Amway can make some inroads when the alternatives are nearly as expensive - that’s why they can often make money in the Third World, where imports are taxed like crazy. But here, forget it (thankfully).
