Anatomy of Deceit – an Amway Critic’s price comparisons

May 29th, 2009 | Posted in Amway Products, Commentary, JoeCool, Nutrilite, SA8, XS Energy

I was having a discussion about Amway products and to my surprise the other party cited “JoeCool’s website” as evidence that Amway’s products were overpriced and not competitive – in other words, a scam. JoeCool is of course a well known anti-Amway zealot. So I thought I’d have a look at JoeCool’s price comparisons, and he [...]

The Amway Phenomenon

May 16th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary, Endorsements

I just came across a great blog post by someone who appears to be a new Amway business owner and thought it deserved some publicity. It’s called The Amway Phenomenon and talks about his experiences when first introduced to the Amway business. It’s very well written, indeed check out the authors others posts as well [...]

Why don’t people just tell you it’s Amway?

February 16th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary

A common complaint (and I must say a somewhat legitmate one) that I encounter about Amway rep’s is that they’re often not “up front” about the identity of the company they work with. IBOs generally don’t call people and say something like “What are you doing Friday for lunch? I’d like to show you the [...]

Let’s Talk About Tools I

February 12th, 2009 | Posted in Amway Myths, Commentary

Probably the last major “unresolved” issue in the public arena with regards Amway is the “tools” or Business Support Materials (BSM), and in particular controversy over profits earned from BSM by “higher pins”. If you spend even a small amount of time on the internet researching Amway you’ll find many claims that “the real money” [...]

Len Clements launches a podcast

February 10th, 2009 | Posted in Commentary, Jon Taylor, Robert FitzPatrick

One of my favourite commentators on the Network Marketing industry is Len Clements of MarketWave Inc. Len has been very much at the forefront of defending the industry against anti-mlm zealots like Robert FitzPatrick and Jon Taylor. He unfortunately has had a tendency to repeat some of the unfair generalizations about Amway that are based [...]

Insight and Responsibility

January 7th, 2009 | Posted in Amway North America, Commentary, Yager InterNET

My last post about Amway Global Accreditation and Bob McEwen’s speech at Yager Internet’s conference has sparked a great deal of discussion, both on the comments here, on Amway Talk, and elsewhere. Of interest was two quite contrasting camps – a significant number of folk were supportive of my comments and expressed dismay at this [...]

Amway Global Accreditation: transformation or a sad joke?

December 25th, 2008 | Posted in Commentary, Yager InterNET

In general I don’t like being critical of people, and I especially try to avoid being so in public. What’s more, with regards Amway, part of my “mission” with TTAA is to try to provide some balance to the excessive criticism of Amway on the Internet. Sometimes however, I encounter things that I believe are [...]

Amway blog roundup

December 1st, 2008 | Posted in Amway News, Commentary, Endorsements, Nutrilite

For those awaiting my next post, as alluded to last week, my apologies. I injured my shoulder and haven’t been the most efficient computer user the last few days. Hobbies like blogging have taken a lower priority!
I promise to have something up soon, but in the meantime a very strong recommendation for Chuck’s new post, [...]

Chuck’s back! In a touch of irony …

November 26th, 2008 | Posted in Amway North America, Commentary

As people who follow my blog know, it’s my opinion that a significant part of Amway’s struggles with growth in english speaking markets the past decade has been due to the influence of the internet. Back in the late 90s, early 00’s Amway made a conscious decision to effectively ban Amway business owners from posting [...]
