What irony. A bunch of Amway clones got sued for slandering Proctor and Gamble.
And the guy in the mall told me that Quixtar is NOT Amway. It must be true.
The company said the case is not an effort to squelch individual criticism or the free speech rights of its distributors or critics, merely to flush out people associated with Woodward who might be violating a court order forbidding use of proprietary Quixtar materials and disparagement of the company
Unauthorized use of copyrighted material. Even Walmart is allowd to sue for something like this. Don't try to make it something it's not. And they are not an illegal pyramid. Corporate America is an illegal pyramid. Ask yourself this, what do you have to do to get ahead in your career? Honest hard work or dealing ruthlessly with your peers/subordinates/co-workers? (or both)?
Multi-level marketing organizations often have greater incentives for recruitment than product sales. They are a creepy way to make a buck.
Amway products are great! That’s a given. I got suckered into the “Network 21” scheme a while back. They told us NOT to tell prospective victims that we were connected with Amway. One time an unsuspecting person showed up and when she found out it was Amway, she was really mad, got up and walked out. They actually used to tell us to lie - well not actually lie but withhold the truth to get people there. Too bad Amway has such a bad image because as I said the products are wonderful.
Anyway, Network 21 turned out to be a rah rah pep talk way to sell books and tapes and make people rich at the top. Also, they will wash your brain if you let ‘em.
I hate it when “friends” pretend they’re inviting you for dinner and then you have to sit through a couple hours of introduction to MLM and they’re marginal product demo’s.
The 2nd time I fell for this crap, it was a Medical Doctor pretending to have a “new business opportunity”. None of the preview material hinted at MLM or Amway.
Imagine my surprise when my Podiatrist showed up a half hour later!
He was using his friggen patient files to shill his “partner’s” MLM, WHICH IN FACT WAS AMWAY!!!!
I was MUCH less diplomatic in departing that scene!
They’re lucky I didn’t report them for misuse of patient files!
I’ve notice the Herbalife crowd has a new generation of folks who apparently are young enough to remember the last go-around of the organization.
As for Amway and its front organizations, I have no regard for an outfit that has to use deception to get in the door.
This ought to be interesting.
