Stop Being an Amway Dork!

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

In 2001 when I was doing Amway, within one year, I lost all my friends following my upline’s advice.

What was the advice?

1.Make A list ( Valid now also)

2.Talk to everybody and his grandma or 3 Foot Rule (Invalid Now)

3.Talk to strangers (Invalid now)

4. Conduct Home Meeting at your down line’s place (painful then and even now)

5. Use Amway Products at your home ( You need to use your products now also)

So, following this advice, I enrolled some of my friends whose friendship I lost once they failed in Amway and the people who just bought the product stopped coming to my house and stopped inviting us to their house, fearing I would start pitching the products or the business.

Like now, then also, I would think and talk about one obsession of mine which was Amway. So even though they loved me, they dreaded my obsession.

With the birth of internet, the game has changed on it’s head and there are  smarter, far superior methods available, which can blow your business through the roof in double quick time.

If you want to stick to Amway, Herbalife, FLP, RMP, good for you. Do that.

But change your strategies. Change your weapons.

Drop the bow and arrow and start using modern weapons.

Using capture pages, social media like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Orkut, Google+ etc you can make like minded friends from across the world and start interacting with them to bring them in to your business, wherever they are from.

As it is you are talking to people, why not talk to interested people.

In our jargon it’s called qualified prospects.

Instead of bugging them everyday, put them in your auto responders so that they would remember you everyday and one day they would decide to join or not join.

Create a funnel where people see your ads on line, click it and provide you their details.

People who have opted in to your list. They have come half way, without knowing what is in store.

Bringing them or leading them to the other half, is far easier, than dragging your neighbor or collegue to your business.

Convey your messages through online videos and online presentations instead of gatecrashing to someobody’s house hoping he is in the mood to buy your stuff.

That’s stupid.

That way of doing was stupid then, stupid now and stupid for another 1000 years.

Grow Up man!
