Yes AM Amway is one walk down memory lane that 99% of Earth's inhabitants would like to forget, me included, lol.

Who do you know named Moe? Make a list of everybody you know - all family members, friends, the mail person, co-workers, etc.

Then read from a script that essentially says: I don't have time to talk to you now, but I have a business that can make you a lot of money and I would like to meet with you to discuss it.

Then the person says the dreaded question...Is this Amway?

...so now what?

I got the pitch and as soon as I heard that I had to contact family and friends, it was no go for me because I NEVER want to hassle/hustle my friends and family.

I knew people who really got into the whole Amway thing, buying lots of product, talking to everybody who stood still for even a second or two, went to those conventions and spent more than they generated. None of these people would tell me how much money the actually made, but they said it was a lot.

Amway did have good products and my wife and I bought some from a friend who sold the stuff - cleaners, socks, even a vacuum cleaner, one of the early ones that didn't need bags. It lasted quite some time before we finally gave it away.

I am sure that some folks had a lot of fun with the camaraderie, but I am just not cut out to be a sales person.

Can't remember who owned a bag-less vacuum cleaner when I was a young child, but I remember watching the sucked up mess swirling around in the clear plexi canister.

Gosh, would have had to have been the better part of 48 years ago.

Where did the time go...

We had a woman into our home to take measurements for a set of window blinds many, many years ago. She took the measurements, was pleasant, and a few weeks later we received a call from her husband, telling us that he was on his way over with the blinds.

We welcomed the man in, and almost immediately he started talking about vitamin supplements. That's fine, we were receptive, and then as fast as you could count to 3, he was pushing the vitamin supplements on us, the brand being Usana.

I had never heard of Usana before, but dear husband and I pooh-poohed off the man, wrote him a check for the blinds, and off he went.

The, over a period of about a month, the man called and called, asking if we were ready to sign-on and sign-up to receive Usana Vitamins and supplements. Finally, reaching our breaking point, we told him, "not interested", and the calls stopped.

Fast-forward a few years later, I found out that Usana, at least at the time was nothing more than a multilevel money-making pyramid.

Remember Koscot Cosmetics? One of the Grand Slams er Scams of multi-level-marketing. I got tricked into attending a "motivational" meeting once back in the late 60's and I thought I wouldn't be getting out of there alive. I'm serious, it was like being in a deprogramming session. The doors were locked, someone followed me into the bathroom and talked "at" me through the stall door and my so-called friend who lied to me to get me there wouldn't take me home. I was about ready to call the cops but I couldn't get near a pay phone.
 
dumb, dumber than dumb, thought you were talking about am track, i was peculiarized

Have not hear anyone hawking Amway in 40 years,
Hupl the last i knew of such things was Madam Helena Rubinstein hawking her makeup.
That had to be in the 50's

I didn't know Amway was still in business. I remember it as one of those dreaded things , like a Tupperware party. It was one of those "self starter" businesses, where people were enthusiastically trying to sell you floor cleaners. You weren't thrilled to death when a close relative decided to be an Amway dealer. From what my parents said, if Amway staff couldn't sell you glass cleaner, they tried to sell you God. I thought Amway went the way of those "Ding Dong" Avon sellers.
 
Amway and DeVos still major players in America. Betsy De Vos is current Secretary of Education.

She has served as chair of the board of the Alliance for School Choice and the Acton Institute and headed the All Children Matter PAC. DeVos is married to former Amway CEO Dick DeVos. Her brother, Erik Prince, a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, is the founder of Blackwater USA.
