LOL!? Really? Did you look at it? He has Harris Teeter/Starbucks as a cashier, one of the guys who stood around looking gay in Abercrombie&Fitch not doing a damn thing. Then he was a dressing room attendent, which is code for, do nothing, get a paycheck. The only thing that is worth a damn is the "Hall Council President," as it shows some leadership skills. The Volunteer work is nothing more than a glorified receptionist. He doesn't list his GPA for NCSU, yet he lists his GPA from NCSSM, which says to me that he probably isn't stupid, but his grades in his degree aren't stellar. Combined with his work experience, not listing his GPA for his major, yet being a good student in HS, it shows that he's got potential, yet he's not motivated. He'll probably underachieve.12/9/2010 8:29:30 PM |

I was a hall council president (Sullivan 05-06), and I can tell you it means absolute jack shit. It only requires minimal leadership skills, and at the very least cannot be considered "work experience" since it is not paid.
The RA position counts as work, but not as leadership. Most of us know from experience that an RA is just someone who gets paid to have their own room and be an epic tool.

Go back to being Hall Council president, bro ... Much brighter future in that job.
I too once got snookered into meeting my good friend's new "business partner" ... showing off the bling watch and jewlz ... made him buy me a sandwich at panera and then after eating it, scolded him for taking advantage of my friend and filling his head with lies.
The only way to get back your "lost investment" from this is to convince your friends and family to join up under you ... but at the end of the day, you will know that you are taking advantage of them and filling them with lines of BS ...
You will have much better luck with just setting a wedding date and creating an online registry ... $$$$

So here's the story, and please hear me out before commenting:
I realize this thread is about Amway Global ....which I am not. Hear me out, maybe I can give odds of what you think Amway Global existing is.
I am in outside sales, which is currently salary+commission, but will move into straight commission starting at the beginning of July 2010. I have been in this position since July 2009. I have competition from several direct manufacturing sales reps, large distributors, and local distributors. I play trivia every Tuesday and Friday night with D, the Director of Quality at a company I used to work for (and would like to work for again some day), and his gf, N. One night we're all getting ready to leave the bar so I go to pay for my tab, and the bartender tells me Let's do something large - my debit card was declined. Confused, I ask her to Let's do something like.... try it again, again declined. By this point, D and N are looking over and I'm starting to get embarrassed. N asks me what's up, I say "There's a 1 out of 1x10^10 chance my card is being declined," D says no worries, that means there's a one in ten billion chance of my card being declined, and picks up my tab. Although super embarrassed, I was grateful because I wasn't carrying any other form of payment on me. Is that not rare enough for you?
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each:
Direct Advantages: Immediate knowledge of new technology, no middle man mark up, one shipping bill (paid by manufacturer or buyer of goods), access to larger range of non-commodity items, control inventory, have access to many distributors that can effectively sell their goods which increases market share, and set prices of commodity they manufacture.
Direct disadvantages: Typically have 1-3 sales reps per region (i.e. southeast, mid-atlantic, northeast, etc.) limiting the number of accounts they can successfully manage/cold-call, lack physical customer service or physical technical service available to or affordable for smaller users or altogether, are sometimes not trustworthy because they will go in behind their distributors that sell their commodity to one account in large quantities (i.e. they missed a big account, and have found out about it through a distributor selling their particular product) which leads to the distributor not selling their product anymore, have too many distributors selling the product ultimately driving the set price down through deviations, possibly rely on distributors to actually sell the product, and competition from other direct sources.
I get home and check my bank account balance online and everything is normal. No unauthorized transactions or anything. I try again the next day to use my card at Old Navy, but this time brought an american express giftcard that I had with me just in case. Sure enough, debit card is declined and I pay with the gift card. I then exit the store and call my bank angrily and explain what had happened to me and asked what was up. The customer service rep told me that customers who did not have fraud protection would temporarily not have access to their accounts due to system upgrade/maintenance/IT blah blah. I was like OK.... Okay. Let's do 1 out of 1x10^15. That's a one in one quadrillion chance, and decided I'd just pay with my credit card for the next day or so, no big deal.
Large distributor advantages: have access to other commodities that go hand in hand with other manufacturers (poor example- grocery stores sell milk as well as cereal), get direct pricing, many locations regionally or nationally easing the shipping burden of buyers with multiple locations, personal service either customer or technical, many sales reps that are able to cover a broader territory, access to multiple manufacturers of the same commodity allowing to keep prices in check, service programs that smaller companies can't offer and direct providers can't match in price or value, and experts of many many commodities as opposed to one or a few.
A few days go by and I want to get a snocone at Pelican's, but they're cash-only. Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, there are at least 125 billion ATMs in the universe. It is estimated that at least ten percent of all ATMs have a cash dispenser, and there are 6.25×10^18 ATMs with money in them in the universe. I go to the cashpoints ATM and put in my debit card and PIN and the machine says "Unauthorized use: card retained". The ATM ate my debit card. Pissed off, and on a Sunday, there was nothing I could do.
Monday I'm getting lunch with my bf and decided to be nice and pick up the bill, so I go to pay using my CREDIT card, and the server comes back saying my card was declined. Again, embarrassed, I was thankful to have my bf there to cover the payment. If even a billionth of these payments have Large distributor disadvantages: smaller local distributors creating price wars (think Michael Scott Paper Co vs Dunder-Mifflin), direct mfg's going in behind and stealing business, limited access to all of the mfg's (you won't find Harris Teeter name brands in Food Lion and visa versa), can't truly set prices because it's based on both supply and demand, territory management, and tough growth prospects in slower economies (this is true for direct as well really), there are some 6.25×10^9 (billion) Local distributor advantages: Typically a good ol' boy setting where the seller and the buyer know each other for years (this does happen at all levels, but mostly at the local level), local folks are right down the street and can be used in emergencies, if the local guy buys at high enough volumes then there is no shipping charge to the end user, and access to both direct mfg's and large distributors in the universe.
6,250,000,000.
Monday afternoon I go to my bank and tell them what has happened. My card was retained by the ATM because my bank statements had been returned to the bank by my mail carrier. When that happened, the bank sent a replacement debit card to my address, which was also returned. This is what I have noticed in my six months, I am sure there are plenty more that need mentioning. The way I am setting myself apart as a sales person is this: I go after the big accounts right now while I am new. The big accounts, if I land them, will take care of me while I am new and building a customer base. The money made off of those allows me to focus free time on smaller accounts that get me higher margins. I build up big accounts, I would like to have 5-10 of these, then get 20-30 medium accounts. If I lose 1 or 2 big accounts, the 20-30 medium accounts keep me afloat while I go after new big accounts. I don't really waste time on small accounts simply because they basically pay for breakfast or something really small. I found this really odd considering the address on file was my current one and I successfully receive other bills (electric, insurance, etc) there. Bank tells me they'll send a replacement card again, and give me a temp card for the meantime.
I then call my credit card company. Same story: card statements returned by the USPS, which caused them to put a hold on my card.
Aggravated, I went to the USPS station nearest me and explained the issue. They said to write a note to my carrier and put it in my box. I wrote on a post-it note two days ago "Hi, please deliver all mail addressed to jessiejepp to this box. This includes bank/credit card statements. All mail addressed to other individuals should be RTS. Thank you!" and put it in the back of my box where he/she inserts the mail. Both yesterday and today I have received mail (not for me, but for my address), but my note is still there.
I will say this, if you can't get a big account in the first 6-8 months (assuming you have cash flow that you can ride this long) you could be in a world of trouble. If you can get one, it will really make going after the others a lot more enjoyable and less stressful. I know a lawsuit for punitive damages against a federal agency isn't possible, but I was wondering what (if any) other legal action I can take in this case. It's simply just very exhausting wasting any time on anything other than big accounts in the very beginning. You work just as hard on the medium sized accounts and see 1/3 to 1/36 of the money in my situation.
Now, what are the odds that Amway Global doesn't exist? If you have any other questions, you can PM me. I hope this helps in the slightest! 12/10/2010 9:44:59 AM |

I realize this thread is about those who have started their own company.... which I have not. Hear me out, maybe I can offer some insight.
I am in outside sales, which is currently salary+commission, but will move into straight commission starting at the beginning of July 2010. I have been in this position since July 2009. I have competition from several direct manufacturing sales reps, large distributors, and local distributors. Visit http://www.firehoze.com for help with FE Prep Class Review Videos, lessons are organized into a searchable catalog and you can also engage in online discussion with instructors and other students. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each:
Direct Advantages: Immediate knowledge of new technology, no middle man mark up, one shipping bill (paid by manufacturer or buyer of goods), access to larger range of non-commodity items, control inventory, have access to many distributors that can effectively sell their goods which increases market share, and set prices of commodity they manufacture. Lessons explaining outside sales ([i]with examples) can be found here:
http://www.firehoze.com/categories/outside%20sales
Direct disadvantages: Typically have 1-3 sales reps per region (i.e. southeast, mid-atlantic, northeast, etc.) limiting the number of accounts they can successfully manage/cold-call, lack physical customer service or physical technical service available to or affordable for smaller users or altogether, are sometimes not trustworthy because they will go in behind their distributors that sell their commodity to one account in large quantities (i.e. they missed a big account, and have found out about it through a distributor selling their particular product) which leads to the distributor not selling their product anymore, have too many distributors selling the product ultimately driving the set price down through deviations, possibly rely on distributors to actually sell the product, and competition from other direct sources.
Large distributor advantages: have access to other commodities that go hand in hand with other manufacturers (poor example- grocery stores sell milk as well as cereal), get direct pricing, many locations regionally or nationally easing the shipping burden of buyers with multiple locations, personal service either customer or technical, many sales reps that are able to cover a broader territory, access to multiple manufacturers of the same commodity allowing to keep prices in check, service programs that smaller companies can't offer and direct providers can't match in price or value, and experts of many many commodities as opposed to one or a few.
Large distributor disadvantages: smaller local distributors creating price wars (think Michael Scott Paper Co vs Dunder-Mifflin), direct mfg's going in behind and stealing business, limited access to all of the mfg's (you won't find Harris Teeter name brands in Food Lion and visa versa), can't truly set prices because it's based on both supply and demand, territory management, and tough growth prospects in slower economies (this is true for direct as well really)
Local distributor advantages: Typically a good ol' boy setting where the seller and the buyer know each other for years (this does happen at all levels, but mostly at the local level), local folks are right down the street and can be used in emergencies, if the local guy buys at high enough volumes then there is no shipping charge to the end user, and access to both direct mfg's and large distributors.
Local distributor disadvantages: easily beaten in price, array of commodities, array of technology, lack of trained staff, low cash flow, etc etc etc.
This is what I have noticed in my six months, I am sure there are plenty more that need mentioning. The way I am setting myself apart as a sales person is this: we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.
I will say this, the site is currently in development phase and is building a base of very helpful lessons and topics. Firehoze also presents a good opportunity for students as well. Once becoming an instructor and uploading a lesson on a topic of your choice, you have the opportunity to receive royalties each time your lesson is purchased. There is no commitment to teaching lessons and plenty of opportunity!
If you have any other questions, you can PM me. I hope this helps in the slightest! 12/10/2010 9:46:57 AM |
