Making Progress In Amway?

I send this message to inform IBOs tha they should be aware of their circumstances in business. What I mean is when you are a new IBO, it is common for you to buy/sell your 100 PV, and perhaps listen to some cds. If you basically did what your sponsor or upline advised, you made your 100 PV bonus level and you will receive a bonus from Amway for about $10. If you did as advised by your upline/sponsor, then you likely made a namelist and started contacting some potential business partners aka prospects. You're probably a bit excited because things are going as you expected. You did your part and a bonus is on it's way to your doorstep. Heck, you may have even sponsored a friend or relative because of your newly found excitement and enthusiasm.

But what happens after a few months? If you are still doing 100 PV and have no downline, then what are the chances that you will ever achieve anything? Your excitement is wearing off and now the Amway opportunity is becoming "work". You are also starting to notice that it is starting to get expensive to continue to purchase products, many of which you never purchased before. For example, were you buying cases of energy drinks and "high end" vitamins before Amway? Did you buy $50 cases of bottled water before Amway? Supposedly their laundry soap and other cleaners are highly concentrated, therefore your consumables are the nutrition/vitamin products.

Even if you managed to find some downline, are they duplicating what you do? Are they also moving volume and sponsoring downline? If not, what are your chances of fulfilling the 6-4-2 plan or some similar version of it. When I saw the plan, I thought it was reasonable and I was on my way to platinum. What I discovered though, is that as you progress, upline has greater expectations of you and that includes more tool purchases. (I was in WWDB). In the end, my recommended tool purchases ate up any profits I had and at the 4000 level, I was just about breaking even, which means I was at a loss when factoring in my time spent and other miscellaneous expenses such as gas money.

Where are you at? If you're been in for more than a year, are you on schedule to become platinum or are you at 200 PV with one downline? Maybe you have a small group with 600 PV? You still aren't close to a net profit. For the vast majority of people, success is not right around the corner. What's around the corner for most is more time lost, more money expended, and no progress. If your group is now growing each and every month, you are sliding backwards. If you don't constantly have new IBOs coming into the group, you are probably stagnant. With about half of IBOs dropping out each year, keeping a group together is a tremendous task.

IBOs, where are you at after a few months? Where are you at after a year? If you haven't gone platinum, it is nearly a certainty that it will never happen, despite what your upline might say. The facts are there, it's a matter of whether you want to believe it or not.

5 months in I am 1000 pv with no downline. Thats pure profit. Recently I have begun sponsoring legs as I have become more competent in the process. I promise it works if you have proper coaching and up line support.

I was 300 pv my first 4 days, 400 pv the month after, then 600 pv, and now 1000 pv. This was all done with no downline! That is pure profit right there. Recently I have began sponsoring as I have become more competent. It does work if you have proper coaching and up-line support.

I suspect out of every 100 who joined 1 has progressed a little and 99 have not and have quit or soon will.

Certainly it can work but only for a few. Tell me where you are end of this year. Good luck in anycase.

even the 1 who has progressed has cheated to get ahead.

I was showing 6-4-3 plan but my up line always had a say in what team structure should I have. I never had that first six in width! that is again, I did what my up line told. Same old problem, world is not flat, neither all downlines are same nor the uplines, so having uniform structure does not help growing business but probably selling system tools.

Ignorance is at epidemic levels
It's a business!!!!!!!!
Treat like a real business and it will pay you like one if you put in the hard work and have a little patience!

That's just it. Amway the corporation is a business. Eveything below that is a scam with IBOs exploiting other IBOs for profit.
