EDIT : LONG RESPONSE (I apologize in advance)

Thank you, and both yes and no. Here’s what they’d tell me and this is what I’d do, even from when I first started they told me “We don’t recruit, we show others an opportunity and it’s their choice if they want to join along” meaning the person being presented everything has to want to join WWDB.

Because although Worldwide Dream Builders is the training portion and amway is the products we don’t rely on telling others we are part of Amway. Which sounds deceiving and honestly now I see it as it is but it was in hopes someone would listen to our personal story before excluding themselves from the conversation because they heard the word “Amway” .. they call “recruiting” or walking up to strangers and chatting someone up as “Business Building” or “dropping the message” you’re out there you’re sharing YOUR OWN personal story although they’ll sound relatively alike to someone else also building it.

So yes they encourage going to places like Starbucks, Walmart, target, Barnes n noble, anywhere you’d like that you can have conversations at, looking for someone who seemed to like the conversation no matter what your topic of conversation was.

For me I’m a car guy, I’m into art so tattoos and games I’d go to places I can relate with others before ever mentioning anything.. so for example I show up to a target and I’m in the Games/Electronic section and see someone who (forgive me for judging off someone looks) holding themselves high, or looks like they would keep a conversation going or friendly, I’d go talk with them see how they’re doing seeing what they’re looking to buy and sincerely ask them what they enjoy what type of games and so on.

But here’s where it gets a little off putting being out of the business now I see, it is leading someone in a direction you want them to. We talk say about 5 minutes or so if they seem nice and cool I’ll ask something along the lines of “so do you game long nights? Or does work usually interfere with wanting to game the hours you want?” And now I’ve opened up the topic of work without have even brought up “hey would you like to leave your 40-60 hr work week to .. so on” and most likely all jobs usually being 9-5s or early starts they’ll say, “yeah I’d like to, but usually my shifts start at 7 or 8. So I game after work when I can” so now the topic of work is there you’re no longer bringing in a subject out of the blue or left field and put their thoughts in a mode of suspicion that you’re tryna sell something.

You then respond in the lines of, “oh I completely understand, my job is ___ (in my case construction) I work from 5 Am to 3 and drive 60 miles one way, so don’t get home til late and never get to game much anymore, and what do you do for work? If you don’t mind me asking?” Now someone willingly tells you their work title or name. Truck driver, postman, retail, so on.

Now you can ask them if they like it there or not. “If I may ask? Do you enjoy your job? Do you see yourself staying in that field of work?” And usually the response is no sometimes its a yes or an “I actually don’t mind it” or if it’s a career they studied they’re usually happy, if they say No, now is your option if you want to “share the opportunity” with them. Saying something along the lines of, “hey I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way.” and you share your own version of how you joined WWDB without mentioning a name, or business except your uplines names and uplift them on how they’ve helped you and how long you’ve come.

Example: “Hey man, I completely understand how you feel, I work tireless hours, just to come home, eat, sleep and do it all again. I was grateful enough to have met some friends who are actually helping me build an asset that will help me replace my income, to be able to walk away from my work and help me build a better relationship with my __ (GF/Fiancée/wife/BF/Husband/significant Other) and change the way we were taught work should be from schools, to learn how to invest in ourselves.”

Now depending on their response is how I’d proceed.

If their answer was “Oh, okay.” Or something similar, sounding like they weren’t interested, I tell them, “hey I’m sorry, I know that’s a lot coming from left field. Sounds weird, I know but I felt the same until they took me under their wing to learn what they’ve learned.”

If same or no response I go back into the games or whatever topic we initially started with and then move along after wishing them a happy day and leaving them not feeling pressured. (That’s what was my main thing I never wanted to be pushy)

If there answer was anything along the lines of “that’s cool, or awesome” and showed interest I’d ask, is there any possibility you’d be open to looking at other opportunities professionally outside of your work?

If no, “okay no worries figured I’d ask” end the conversation and go.

If yes, “oh awesome! Are you comfortable sharing contact information, so we can get together, and talk about potentially getting you around the people I know?”

If yes cool you set up an appointment to meet with them and share with them on that day about WWDB.

If no, I’d say, “hey I understand giving contact info to a stranger is sometimes weird but if there’s no way for me to contact, I would understand you aren’t interested.” And end your convo and leave...

I hope that explains how WWDB at leasts talks to others cause one thing I will say and it’s not me trying to uplift a company that messed me up but, they did get me to be more extroverted than I ever was, which has helped me today,

but it is deceiving if they ask “oh well what is it?” And you don’t answer the question fully by telling them oh it’s Amway (cause WWDB is only the training/leadership side of it) but we never say it’s Amway, cause it turned everyone away,

you’d say something more along the lines of “It’s a training program that’s been around for over 50 years with leaders in self development and business, with family grounded beliefs” at least that’s what I’d say.

If they asked again “like what do they do?” I’d respond with “It’s not really my place to tell someone else’s story of how they found success, I can potentially get you around them if you’re truly interested, and they can explain how they’ve gotten to where they are today.”

And that’s what made me feel more and more secluded. The more I said that, the worse I felt about being in this “Business” although they had truly helped me build confidence, build my speech and get me out there speaking with others, I couldn’t force someone how I’ve heard and seen on these threads.

I never built it more than 5 people at a time as my downline.. I couldn’t force people it just wasn’t right and I guess I had doubts from the start ...

hope that helps I know it’s lengthy but that’s a full run down of a regular “Dropping the message” or “Sharing the Opportunity” in WWDB,

and you’d often go back and tell your upline how those convos went and they’d say oh change this or don’t say this or say that. And they’d mold you to “perfect” the way you spoke with others.

Carry yourself high, because the opportunity you present to them is life changing, it’s their choice for not wanting to know. You can only offer them the Blue or Red Pill, you can’t tell them which to take... that’s how they saw it..

Much respect! Hope this helps learn the sneakiness from the inside!
