That classmate, who used to know me very well, often chatted together. At that time, she bragged every day, meaning that Amway was simply too good and the products were too excellent. It's a pity that I have never done Amway in my life. How many people drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses? In short, they make a lot of money.
Then, she didn't go to work well, and she always promoted Amway as a career.
I remember that she was crazy, and her home was full of Amway products. She said it was particularly effective, and her father's cooking made him feel much better.
I was confused by her nagging and had to pay for some products. Later, it was found that the product was just so much, but the price was too high.
Then she quietly stopped Amway. I honestly went to work, and it is said that I lost tens of thousands of dollars.
What's more, the daughter-in-law of a fellow villager has also gone bankrupt to do Amway. In order to do Amway, she even divorced, disdained "her husband has no ambition", put all her family savings into Amway, and then gave her husband her small house, saying that she would have money to buy a villa in the future. Over the years, she resigned, divorced, rented a house and had no children. Now she is alone.
Once, she squatted on the side of the road to sell Amway products, saying that she would reduce the price. Some people saw it and even bargained. She cried and said, this product is particularly good!
I watched from a distance and left. I don't have the courage to stand up and speak.
Some people who do Amway may make money, but people around me may not have time to enter the business, and basically lose money to make money.
I almost did Amway once, more than ten years ago.
At that time, my husband's best classmate devoted himself to Amway and promoted Amway products every day. For a while, he almost stayed at my house and sold me all the toothpaste, washing products and C of Amway. After receiving my money, I figured out how much money I could save if I also did Amway. If I can make a lot of money by selling it, I will draw a bright future for my husband and me and join Amway every day. The most common saying is "I can buy a BMW in a year, and then I will drive you out to play".
We looked at those students who wanted to buy a BMW and began to get excited. What threw cold water on us was the carnival party of Amway Company at Christmas. Because of the successful speaker, our old classmates invited us to attend the meeting. My husband and I listened to Amway elite's speech with pilgrimage. I like to wander in class, and I don't forget to look at the clothes of the elite when my heart is surging. I was surprised to find that this elite with an annual income of one million wore a summer dress, and she wore a thin summer dress over a thick sweater in winter. It was really funny, which made me doubt her annual income of one million and discouraged me from joining the army of earning money.
That old classmate hasn't bought a BMW yet, and all his savings have turned into a pile of Amway products. When all his classmates bought cars and houses, he didn't ask or participate. He continued to do the work he gave up in those years.
About twenty years ago, I was tempted by the pie painted by Amway. Why did I give up again?
Among the people I know, there are two people who have done well in Amway, so I won't mention those who have done badly. Let's talk about these two people.
One of them is my relative's niece, and I met her at her relative's house. At that time, Amway had become a manager.
At that time, I was laid off because of the disintegration of the unit, and I was confused every day. I don't know what I can do.
After getting to know her, she came to me every day and asked me to do Amway with her, saying the total benefits of joining Amway.
What moved me most was that she said that Amway was successful, not only for myself, but also for my children and even their children.
What she said moved me, so I met her every day, studied and found clients.
After a week, she asked me to buy the product at my own expense. In order to upgrade, I bought toothpaste, calcium tablets, detergent and so on.
I was surprised to go to her house one day. There is a room in her home where many Amway products are put. There is food, which is useful.
I asked her, did you buy all these? She said yes, only in this way can we quickly improve our performance and position.
I asked her, did you buy so many to use? She also lied to me that not all of them are for her own use, but they can also be sold.
I stood there for a while, and then I left for home. When I got home, my mind was full of her products. I was looking at mine, nothing. That's it. I spent hundreds.
Thinking that you haven't made money yet, you have to make money first. I gave up decisively, let my losses drop to the lowest point and stop in time.
Tell her I quit and don't contact me. About a year later, I asked my relatives how she was doing in Amway.
Relatives told me that she sold her house and went to work in other places because the money invested by Amway didn't come back and she owed a lot of money.
Another one is my colleague, and her husband is a carpenter.
There is a market in my home called Furniture Street.
After the disintegration of the unit, their husband and wife started a business there and sold furniture. At the peak, there were more than a dozen carpenters in her family.
Furniture has advanced finished products, most of which are made by ourselves.
I don't know when the couple started Amway. They are busy with Amway. The business at home is gradually depressed, and the carpenter's salary is also in arrears. Carpenters will resign.
Slowly, the store will not open.
Because they started their business early, the couple had some money and didn't care when they started investing in Amway. The couple haven't been managers for long.
In this way, the couple closed the store and started Amway with one heart.
Many years later, when I saw her, she had done badly and had some mental problems.
I didn't dare to ask, did Amway achieve the pension level?
These are the two people I know who are most obsessed with Amway.
I wonder what happened to these two people.
The earliest pyramid scheme, what is direct selling, and how many people have been cheated? Anyway, no one I know has seen Amway make a fortune.
No, Ponzi scheme
Amway direct selling can change a person's personality and even a family.
As a person who has used Amway products, all my friends around me have done Amway. I think I can give you an answer for your reference.
It has been five or six years. Once a classmate had a dinner party, he invited the head teacher of junior high school and several classmates who had been in contact to get together at home.
Let me start with my classmate, who has been in my class for three years in junior high school. He is pale and speaks softly. At the age when everyone is still a kid, he is mature and steady, not in line with his age, but his grades are good.
Although high school is also a high school, it is not a class. Later, after graduation, they went their separate ways and had less contact, but they all had contact with the class teacher.
At that time, the whole eating process was centered on Amway products and marketing, except for the first three minutes of teacher-student chat. The key target is our junior high school class teacher. To put it simply, we want to develop the head teacher into an offline.
At this time, we found that the once taciturn classmates have changed and become glib and eloquent. What he said about Amway is not only a product to protect health, but also a way to get rich.
In his description, Amway is a big family and a big stage to help everyone realize their dreams. All products are not only higher in quality than similar products, but also help people make money. Not joining is a loss.
At an original sumptuous dinner party, several students ate like chewing wax, but the class teacher listened with relish, asked questions from time to time, and made an appointment to attend classes in the company. It seems that he is planning to develop sideline business and create extra income.
Later, I learned from the side that this classmate did not continue to go to college after graduating from high school, but followed his mother into Amway direct sales. With a clever mind, he developed a good eloquence and became a preacher in the company. He often speaks in other places, which makes him look like a successful person.
After this meal, we re-established contact. At the beginning of his inquiry, I made it clear that I was busy with my work and had no time to promote Amway.
Even so, he found many opportunities to go home. Every time he goes, he certainly doesn't go empty-handed He brought many products, such as toothpaste, shampoo and protein. But one thing, it's not for me for free, but for me to try out. If he is unhappy, he asked me to help him advertise.
Although I hate such behavior, I reach out and don't smile. I want to refuse, but I can't say it. I usually send a lot of daily necessities in my unit. All the nursing supplies he gave me were useless, and I dared not drink the nutrition he gave me. I'm not afraid of product quality, but I feel healthy. Why should I spend money to suffer?
After I didn't refuse the first time, I came for the second time and the third time, bringing more things and many publicity pages. The main direction shifted from me to my mother. Fortunately, I was not married at that time, otherwise both of my family would suffer.
My mother showed great interest at that time, and I admired her. Those who engage in direct sales, pyramid schemes or WeChat business can always find brainwashing objects accurately.
Maybe my classmates are not interested in seeing me at all, so they changed their main direction to the woman in our family. She boasted a lot of products, and even made the old lady very happy and really wanted to buy them.
Slowly, I also figured out their routines. The so-called way to make money is to make a pyramid-shaped direct sales. If you want to make money, you must first pay for the products, and then develop offline, so that offline can buy products, and then develop lower-level offline, and so on.
They have an incentive mechanism. The more people develop, the more they earn. The pyramid income model will stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for publicity and sales. It's a bit like pyramid selling, except that it's a real marketing method.
There used to be a lot of Amway products piled up at home. Another feature of Amway products is that they are expensive. A box of toothpaste is several times more expensive than ordinary toothpaste, not to mention protein powder, which is often hundreds of thousands.
Amazingly, students can always calculate an account for you. If you buy these things, you will get something and get a rebate. Selling things or developing offline shopping is more profitable.
So my mother also began to publicize to the people around her. Later, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I stopped, because even if I lost money, it was easy to say. If I bring my relatives and friends in, it is easy to say that I have made money and lost money, then our family is not human inside and outside.
Later, I posted my account number to my mother. For example, I spent 10 thousand yuan on a bunch of products, and then I returned 2 thousand yuan to you. I'm telling you, this pile of products sells for 10 thousand yuan, and you earn 2 thousand yuan. If others buy 10000 products through you, then others will get 2000 yuan, and you will get an extra reward of 1000 yuan.
It looks very attractive. In fact, the value of this pile of things is at most 3000 yuan. Fundamentally speaking, you just spent 8000 yuan on a bunch of 3000 yuan things and thought you made money. Even if you sell something for 10 thousand yuan, it's still our relatives and friends who buy things, which means our relatives and friends always spend 8000 yuan to buy a bunch of 3000 yuan products. If you don't want to lose money, you can only continue to sell products and attract people.
It was hard for her mother to persuade her. Mother and son quarreled many times, and she didn't wake up until there were more and more things at home and her pension was getting less and less.
Later, my classmates never came home, and sometimes they sent messages to my mother introducing products like Perfect Infinitus. To put it bluntly, it's all routine, but I refused after I knew it.
As for him, his mother started early and took him to work. At first, she really attracted many people and made a lot of money. Later, my father resigned from the government and started this. The whole family is committed to sales promotion.
However, the good times did not last long. After all, offline direct selling is a bubble. One day, it will be broken. Whether their family lost money in the end is unknown. Anyway, all the classmates I know who know him have blacked him out.
My sister Juanzi is my hometown, and we rented the same house. I run a hotel on the first floor and she runs a hotel on the second floor, so we became friends!
When I first met her, I admired her very much. She is beautiful and elegant, and she is a woman engaged in business. The family business is also good. Husband is very simple and honest, listen to her!
After a while, I found that she was getting busier and more exotic, wearing exquisite makeup every day, which was mysterious!
She told me, "I am now engaged in a very promising industry. If I share it with you, you can do it too. It's not so hard to open a hotel, and you can earn dozens of times the money of the hotel! "
I said, is there such a good thing? Tell me quickly!
So, she introduced Amway to me, including food, drink, washing, use, health care products and cosmetics. As long as we need them in our lives, this company is green and healthy. After using their products, many cancer patients and patients with chronic diseases have recovered!
The point is, you don't have to go out and sell this product. As long as you use it with your family, others will see your changes and take the initiative to buy from you. You can share it while using it and sit at home to make money!
You can also introduce it to friends, create your own team, and then your income will snowball!
In the future, when you are old and retired, your family and children can inherit it. Therefore, this cause is too great and worth investing in!
I said, isn't this a pyramid scheme?
Sister Juanzi said that pyramid selling is two separate lines, but ours is not. Moreover, pyramid selling does not attract people's attention. We have hundreds of products, all of which are genuine. How can it be a pyramid scheme?
I didn't argue with her, but I made it clear that I could buy some products to support her work, but I wouldn't do it because I was too busy opening a restaurant to be interested in it!
She said confidently that even if she doesn't do it now, she will do it later. You will see my success. I will have my own car next year. In a few years, I can travel around the world and have coffee under the Eiffel Tower! I have a big villa with a garden in front and a swimming pool in the back. ...
After listening to it, I feel that she is different from before and has been brainwashed! The whole person is in a state of excitement! It's not normal, but I bought the product anyway.
I have used detergent, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc. First, it feels ok, not too expensive and acceptable!
I used cosmetics later, but I can't remember the price. At that time, it was very expensive, and everything was three or four hundred yuan!
When I was pregnant with Bauer, my sister Juanzi sent me calcium magnesium tablets and protein powder, telling me that I must eat them, because the baby will be healthy and beautiful without crying. People around me are eating them!
I never eat health care products, but I can't get rid of my face, so I bought a bottle of calcium magnesium tablets and a box of protein powder!
That calcium-magnesium tablet is sour in your mouth, like sand. It's really hard to swallow. I ate it once and don't want to eat it again!
I persuaded my mother-in-law to eat. When you are old, you need calcium supplement. If your mother-in-law finds it unpalatable, keep it!
Sister Juanzi came to pay a return visit and said that I was a profiteer. What a waste!
I said, I'll give it to you if you like, even the protein powder. You can give it to me!
She really took it and never sold me health products again!
But she shared her success with me. She became a manager, with a team of more than 30 people, rented four studios, trained members every day, gave free beauty treatment to customers, and sometimes invited experts and professors to give lectures, so that I could visit them when I was free! Also said that there is an instrument? Put your hands on it and you'll know what's wrong with you.
Of course I don't believe it!
During this period, her hotel was transferred at a low price because of unintentional operation. 1 0,000 square meters hotel has only been transferred less than 400,000 yuan, and the renovation money has not been returned!
I feel sorry for her.
However, Sister Juanzi said that she could concentrate on Amway after changing careers, and the traditional industry would never do it again!
Since then, I have tried to avoid her, because all her topics are Amway, and I don't want to hear it!
I didn't see her again until last year. She opened a 10 square meter shop in front of the food market, selling bedding. People look haggard and old, and their hair is all white!
I'm surprised, sister. Why are you here?
She took my hand and said, Sister, what I regret most in my life is doing Amway. After nine years, it lost more than 2 million. Now that I'm 60 years old, I'm going to earn a pension for myself! This small shop can't make money in a day 100. I don't know when it will last.
I know she lost money, but I didn't expect to lose so much? Only after a long talk with her did I know the reason.
1, products for personal use. According to the company's regulations, every employee should use the products for himself, instead of sharing them. How does he know the performance of the product? So every family needs tens of thousands of food and use a year.
2. Travel expenses. All over the country, even going abroad, speaking, publicity, travel expenses are not a small expense!
3, pressure goods, this is also the most important, everyone should take cash, pressure a lot of goods, or what to sell to others? The date of the monthly meeting is zero, and people with teams are even worse. People are scattered, and the goods are rotten in their own hands!
I wonder what happened to others. I know my cousin is 50 years old and still works in other places!
Later, my husband had a friend who also did this. He insisted on pulling my husband to do it, saying that he would get rich together. I firmly refused. He was very angry and said that if his friend got rich, he would divorce me immediately. I'm really worried that his friend is really rich. What happened? His friend lost his wife, his job, his house, and now he has a stroke. It's pathetic. My husband often says that it's a good thing I stopped him, otherwise he might be worse than his friend.
