    I heard years ago they had something like a cult type image. I forget exactly what they were doing.
    The home interior parties seem to do pretty good and home parties for jewelry, children's things and lingerie seem to do good. But in Texas you need to be careful about the law as far as lingerie parties.

    Great products, love it. If you are a great sales person, don't mind asking everyone you know to buy, inviting everone you kow to your home trying to get them to sell.

    So are you good at selling things.

    I do agree that you have to be a great salesman.

    I also think, because of having people who've hit me up to buy things because they happened to be my friends, that one must be careful as to how much and in what way a person approaches friends, because some good friends might get turned off by a friend who is always trying to sell them something.

    Thanks!

    My wife and I tried Amway many years ago and could not make it with the program as it appeared to us as an obvious ''pyramid'' operation (which Amway denies) where only the people at the top make money taking a piece of the pie from those down the ladder... As instructed by Amway, we bought Amway products (as suggested in many of these programs), but the prices proved too high despite Amway's claims of superior product differentiation... Further, I never have personally met anyone who made a decent profit or living from Amway and must say that I am surprised Amway still exists... All the best!. God Bless!

    Yeah, I too wonder why it even still exists given the amount of scrutiny it's been given.

    Well you make money on what you sell with them ( commissiion) and a over ride on what people you bring in make.

    That is the same principle, of a car lot, life insurance sales. The car manufactor makes money, the district sales manager makes money, the local dealer makes money, the local salems manager makes money, and the salesman makes money, that is not a scheme, it is a business system.

    In insurance, I can hire agents to work for me, and in turn after they sell enough, they could hire agents for them. But the main money is still in the sells.

    High priced ? Why do some people buy the name brand corn in the store, you can go to aldi and buy it 1/2 the price? So why does Del Monte still make corn,

    Price alone has little to do with sells, it is the demo, the marketing and the quality of the products.
