The Five Things You Never Talk About in Polite Business

Conventional wisdom suggests that two things you never talk about in polite company are politics and religion. These subjects often times stir fierce emotions, which may lead to hostility - clearly not proper in an otherwise positive business setting. So it shouldn’t surprise you that two things the rules of this business say you shouldn’t discuss on stage are politics

 and religion. The rule – 3.1 – actually broadens the list to include race, gender, and nationality:

 

No IBO shall present the business as anything other than an opportunity available to anyone regardless of race, gender, nationality, or religious or political beliefs to any person.


There are so many good things to talk about in this business, why go off on a tangent about race, gender, nationality, politics, or religion?

Instead, talk enthusiastically about…

  • the business’s rich history of success – it’s coming up on its 50th anniversary

  • a business where you have the total backing of your upline

  • your line of sponsorship’s long line of leadership and the support it provides

  • the industry-leading sales and marketing plan and its great payoff for effort

  • the huge selection of top quality products with something for everyone

  • the unending support of the Corporation and its continual building of the opportunity

  • the representation by your trade association, the IBOAI, unique in the industry

  • a Board and Corporation that keeps looking for ways of making the business better – for you


These are just a few suggestions, but you get the idea. Once you start talking up the business, you won’t have time to talk down anyone else. And isn’t that one of the things we like to brag about the Amway Global opportunity, that it’s a positive business?
