    A few years ago, I was looking for a job and a friend invited me to an interview with her boss who works for Amway. The interview was taken
    inside a coffee shop. Inside the coffee shop there were 3 – 4
    teenagers seated at each table with a laptop. They all worked for him.
    I entered the shop and her boss greeted me. He was very skilled at
    socializing.

    To get you interested, the first thing he did before anything else was
    to ascertain what your goal was. In my case it was money. He spoke of
    rich people he knew, and how he was rich himself and how you could
    become like him by listening to exactly what he says. He then went on
    to say that you need to put in work and effort and a little bit of
    money. He then takes out the supposed business model A.K.A. the
    pyramid scheme and goes on to explain how you coerce other people into
    buying the Amway products through a website he provides.

    the most important thing to note from all this is that he avoids all
    your questions by answering with things unrelated. for e.g. if I ask
    him “what If I do not want to sell out my friends and family and bring
    others into this scheme?” He would answer by saying “you see, this
    business model has both its up and downs. To make a lot of money, you
    need to remember to put in a lot of effort. The richest men….” He
    would then drone on until you forget what you were even asking.

    The scheme. you pay for the website and training. You sell overpriced
    products and recruit other gullible people to work for you. The more
    people that work for you, the more money you make. The people that you
    recruit pay you for training and a free easily made website and a % of
    their sales go to you, which goes to the boss that introduced you.
    Which is why its called a pyramid. The person at the bottom has to
    recruit others to make money. The person at the top makes the most
    money.

    All the teenagers with laptops in front of them in the coffee shop
    were his minions who fell for his soliciting. They paid the fee for
    the website and for the training, and now they were on their way to
    soliciting others to do the same thing. And the worst thing is that
    they believe that what they are doing is a real job.

    Amway is a multi level marketing business (MLM), which is the nicer
    way of saying pyramid scheme. the drop-shipping they do and their
    overpriced items do not add value in any way to the world.
