What Prospects Often Don't Know

One thing that I was unaware of as an IBO was that our uplines were profiting from our tools purchases. I was in WWDB at the time and I was told very clearly that nobody made money from the tools and in fact, I was also told that WWDB was a non profit organization. Both of these statements were bold lies told by WWDB leaders and they have never been held accountable. We were told that upline cared about us and our success, thus they spent their own money to fly to functions to teach us how to succeed.

Eventually, the internet amd other media made it impossible to cover up these lies and uplines funally admitted that they profitted from tools. However, it looks like they downplayed the magnitude of the tools profits. I believe some upline may have made most of their income fro tools, especially leaders who may have fallen out of qualification. Now the upline admits they make some profits from tools, but there is still a great deal of secrecy in the tools business. What makes the whole thing ironic is that the uplines allegeldy are not supposed to entice Amway prospects into joining by using the tools money as a draw, but at the same time, they are told that tools are vital to their success.

I wonder how many prospects or IBOs would be fired up about buying tools if they knew that their uplines might not currently be qualified at the level they claim to be, and knowing that the uplines will make a ton of money whether or not you make a cent as an IBO? Also, some uplines are shameless is pushing the tools on downline. Sure they might cut the newest guy a break and loan them some cds, but once that IBO decides to start building downline, they are likely to be told that a real business owner buys their own tools, or that a business owner needs to be a leader and purchase extra tools for their downline.

How would you feel uf your upline is touting themselves as a financial genious but in the background, their homes are foreclosed or they have financial difficulties? What if your upline touts their morals and you find out they are divorced or getting a divorce? What if your upline said Amway saves marriages? Your upline certainly won't say they are perfect, but conversely, they should be held to the highest standards if they are using their status to be able to sell tools and make large profits.

Many prospects and IBOs don't know this, but I hope they take it to heart.

The same goes about you and what your wife often doesn't know about your early days when you were young, single and looking, about the many women you met, you kissed and sometimes enjoyed further. Same with the boys she was involved with. So what? Move on man and for God's sake, shut up and grow up!

Hey Anonymous from Canada. Shouldn't you be out drawing circles somewhere? How many people have you actually sponsored? What level are you? I bet the only PV you generate each month is from your own personal use. I guess it must hurt to hear the truth on here eh?

I didn't think Anonymous from Canada would actually answer my questions, no doubt because he has no "real results". In Amway, like any other business results are measured by net profit (the money left over after paying all the expenses of an endeavor.) Most ambots disregard this basic business fundamental and are clouded by a fantasy, similar to winning the lottery. Note: the odds of winning the lottery are much better than an ambot becoming a diamond.
