Most IBOs involved in Amway belong to some kind of line of sponsorship, which has a system. These systems consists of groups such as Worldwide Dreambuilders (WWDB), BWW, Network 21, INA, LTD, etc. The system usually consists of tapes or cds, voicemail, books, websites, and functions or seminars. The system typically costs on the lower end, $100 a month on average, and for very dedicated IBOs, up to $500 a month or more, depending on what the IBOs are taught. But does the system work?
Based on observation, and information revealed by Amway, I can conclude that the system does not work. After discarding IBOs who do nothing, the average income of the remaining IBOs is a paltry $115 a month. Furthermore, if the system worked, then then would be a consisten progression of people moving from 1000, to 2500, t0 4000, to platinum and higher. While new and inspired IBOs can rise rapidly to the silver or platinum level with excitement, they will often fall apart and end up quitting, which is why you probably do not see very many new diamonds. Also, it appears that Amway growth is primarily from foreign markets and not the US. In the US, the Amway name appears to be saturated and finding new recruits is very difficult. Some tools zealots (i.e."Tex") claim the system works but the prices are too high. Well, Tex is dead wrong. If the system worked as advertised, then the price of the system would be seen as reasonable by most.
Tex will also claim that the system will work if only the prices were lowered. Well, again, Tex is dead wrong because the price of the system doesn't have any causal relationship with the effectiveness of the tools. The only difference is that the uplines who produce the tools, would have little or no incentive to produce tools if they need to take the financial risk for small or no profits. Because we know that many Amway businesses fall apart, even at the diamond level and higher, maintaining your income and lifestyle can become difficult and diamonds and higher may not be motivated to take time away from their Amway businesses to produce tools if there is little or no profit in them.
I will contend that the system does not work. I challenge anyone to prove this wrong with facts, preferably unbiased facts. *crickets chirping*
nearly two years later and they're still going. WOW.
ReplyDeleteyou seems to be a failure....... n a source of negative energy..... dude...... this bsns is not for everyone ..... like u .... grow up kid....

ReplyDelete**proud Amway hater**
Hey dude, nice job on a seemingly unbiased appraisal. Thanks ;)
ReplyDeleteAmway preys on the greedy, making them think they'll get rich quick. They also make sure their new suckers don't say that they work for Amway, they know that most people aren't stupid enough to be suckered into their pyramid scheme that uses family and friends to make anything.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the money-gain system
ReplyDeleteLook at the youtube Nutriway training videos to see what keeps you alive the next day, obviously not money but vitamin tablets of concentrated fruits, herbs and vegetables
If you want to know if something works, find someone who has has success in it and ask how they achieved it.
DeleteEveryone else's opinion is simply speculation.
Mine included if you wish, as i am not retired or making much money, but i trust the people i work with and the pros far outweigh any cons(there is nothing to lose).
Amway has a turnover of over 10 billion, they don't need me or anyone else to defend them.
FACTS FOR AMWAY WORKING
Dont bother asking me or anyone else online, go find a Network Twenty One function, sit there, listen, ask questions. Go to the bigger one at the end of the month, talk to people, ask questions.
THEN you are allowed to have an opinion. You may still not like it, you may not want to be involved, but i guarantee you wont say it doesn't work.
bullshit
DeleteIT DOES WORK !! (if you classify it as a pyramid scheme WHICH IT IS NOT...then all business's are pyramid schemes...right!! There will ALWAYS be one at the top of ANY business!!
ReplyDelete........MY SON DECIDED TO JOIN N21 AND WE WENT ALONG TO A PREVIEW - which we enjoyed thoroughly; it has given us leadership skills, encouragement and given us skills to become entrepeneurs not "just to be GOOD employee"-working for a "BOSS" . Many times OPINIONS kills the dreams of others. We have made new friends ....IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO REALISE THAT WITH NO WORK, THERE IS NO pay. I JUST DECIDED TO "SWOP WHERE I SHOP" AND MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOO ...we are NOT LOOSING ANYTHING ...GOT MY PRODUCTS WHICH I LOVE AND CUSTOMERS WHO DO NOT WANT TO "HAVE THEIR OWN BUSINESS" AND JUST WANT THE PRODUCTS they order from ME. THUS MAKING A PROFIT IBO COST PRICE TO RETAIL.......simple ! those that want to do the business do the same as I do. IF I BUILD A BUSINESS THIS WAY ...GREAT!! IF THE BUSINESS SIDE DOES NOT GROW (due to me not working it)......so AT LEAST I GOT VALUE FOR MONEY .....NO LOSS!!
..........GO FOR IT ALL IBO'S AND IBO'S TO BE!!
bullshit
