There are several different "branches" of what we call
"Amway" (or "scamway":)). The way the base corporation
wants things done is very different than the way the
Yeager/Britt groups tell you to do it. (I was in Amway for
a while). Amway (the corporation) stresses customers--you
must sell to 10 different customers a month. If you can
get someone else in the business, great, but it isn't
stressed. In the Yeager/Britt groups, they stress the
opposite--get others in at all costs and forget about
selling. THAT is where you flirt with the pyramid schemes.
True MLM centers around a product. Yeager/Britt center
around recruitment. They do this so they can get $$ for
their other Amway related "books and tapes"
businesses--more people in the group, more people buying
these books and tapes.
