Amway Quixtar Distributors
Instructed
Not to Prospect Concession Stand Employees
|
| Ada, MI (Amway Parody
Press) - Due to complaints from concession stand operators at convention centers and
arenas across the nation, the diamond distributor heads of many lines of sponsorship are
instructing their faithful downline not to prospect the concessions stand employees to be
Amway-Quixtar distributors. |

Amway-Quixtar Convention |
A spokesman for the arena
and convention center operators said that many concession stand employees had openly
refused to work at Amway conventions due to the constant barrage of distributors
prospecting the concession stand employees for the Amway business. One concession stand employee said, "The Amway people stand in line to
get their Cokes, and one by one they ask you if you are happy with your job or your
income". "After a whole weekend of the pitch, I'm pretty fed up with
it". "I can be prospected hundreds of times in one weekend".
"I have a whole collection of prospecting cassette tapes given to me over the
years".

One major concessionaire
said, "on weekends of major Amway-Quixtar conventions, we found a much higher
absenteeism rate compared to other types of conventions". "Our employees
do not want to deal with being pitched Amway for three straight days in a row, so many of
them just skip work when they find out it is an Amway convention." |

According to a an insider,
and a major line of sponsorship diamond, who wishes to remain anonymous, the move to
openly ban prospecting of the concession stand employees came after concessionaires
refused to operate at future Amway-Quixtar functions. He noted, many lines of
sponsorship take a nice cut of the receipts from the concessionaires, and it was either
agree to their demand to stop the distributor prospecting or no longer prohibit
distributors from bringing their own food and drinks to the convention. "It was purely a business decision", noted the diamond".
"If we allowed the distributors to bring their own food, even if they
bought it through Amway-Quixtar, we would have lost a lot of money".
"Besides, those people working the concession stand are losers, if they aren't in the
business by now. It makes no sense to prospect them further." "If
you are prospecting a concession stand employee, you are not 'sponsoring up'
anyway" "Distributors need to spend their energies sponsoring above their
own motivational level, not below it". |
