Amway supporters keep claiming that Amway has changed and that things are different today. But I keep seeing posts like the one I will attach and you gotta wonder. This was posted on July 14, 2011:

Hi,
I think that some facts that are in support of Amway should be recognised:
* They are one of the largest debt free companies in the world.
* They have made more millionaires than almost any other company.
* The books provide are all written by established business owners and entrepreneurs, most of who have made their money in traditional businesses, why wouldn’t read a book about success written by a successful person? It’s like reading a book about law, written by a lawyer?
* The company has been audited and analysed thousands of times because good for nothing people who just want to sit around and complain rather than get off their fat arses and do something with their lives try and knock a perfectly legitimate business model because they don’t have what it takes to succeed, and the company is still one of the largest in the world.
* Amway has been around for more than 50 years? How long do scams last, honestly?
So take these facts into account before you try and criticize a way of making money that has helped millions of people achieve their goals,.

Joe's commentary: It sure looks like the same old same old that upline leaders have been teaching for years now. This sounds like something you might have heard 15 years ago. Those who claim things are different must just see the world through rose colored glasses or something.
idiots!
ReplyDeleteamway is a joke.
This is the same garbage I heard when I was an IBO with Amway. It still does not change the facts like an IBO only makes on average 115 dollars a month.
ReplyDeleteStill does not change the fact that most IBO's loose money due to Functions, CD's, Gas, Lodging, Food etc.
The facts are something Loyal IBO's do not like to hear and are hard to defend. The fact is when IBO's cant defend there point they resort to the same old crap, that you must be lazy, and broke.
If you work the program and have a little bit of luck, success can be achieved. How do you figure the upline leaders got to where they are? Is it a conspiracy? Doubtful. They worked to get where they're at. And no, not EVERYONE will be successful, as in any endeavor. BTW, I don't sell Amway, my parents did and failed with it, but they weren't bitter. They were honest with themselves.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous @August 16th. The upline leaders got into Amway in the early days. Because Amway has a once a diamond, always a diamond philosophy, we don't know who is actually a diamond anymore. What we have now, are upline leaders who actually make tons of money selling training and tools to their downline. Many of these upline leaders lie and deceive their downline and profit that way.
ReplyDeleteIt is why many people say you can earn more than your sponsor, but you can't earn more than one of the powerful upline leaders because they would prevent such an even from happening. Ever wonder why nobody has "walked away" from Amway to collect that residual income that IBOs dream about?
Are you aware that two thirds of amway employees make less than $151 A YEAR!!!!!!! The amount that make over $45K a year is .6%, THAT'S AROUND 1 IN 167 PEOPLE. Did you conveniently choose to ignore those facts, you insensitive prick
