One of the BS things our Amway upline constantly told our group was that we were out there helping people and fighting for what is right in the world. That evil will triumph when good men fail to take action. I agree with this. That the AMOs have thrived because too many good people have ignored the problem and it hasn't gone away, only unnoticed by most. The result is probably tens of millions of people over the years getting scammed out of their hard earned dollars via the "tool scam".
Let's dissect these issues and look at them one at a time. What exactly are you fighting as an IBO? Fighting against yourself? Your job? I know many uplines want you to think your job sucks, thus giving you motivation for joining and succeeding in Amway. Then the hook comes where they will tell you that tools are vital for your success. But you aren't fighting anything. Your job pays your bills and allows you to make a living, whether you like it or not. Most likely your Amway business isn't generating enough to cover your "functions and tools" expenses so your Job income is vital even if your upline says otherwise.
How about helping people? How do IBOs help people by enticing them to join Amway? While people are doing community service or other projects, IBOs are stalking people at malls or other venues looking for prospects or spending weekends at meeting and functions. How does this help anyone but the folks who profit from the functions? How are IBOs helping people? It's nice to believe that you are fighting or a cause or helping other people, but the fact is that most people make nothing or lose money by being involved in Amway, not even factoring in the time you may lose for spending time with family and friends.
I was once an IBO. I thought we were involved in a good cause. I did eventually realize that we weren't helping anyone. The only people we took interest in were potential Amway recruits. Everyone else was cannon fodder. Those who are familar have heard "some will, some won't so what? Next"! I did not pursue to "help" anyone unless they were interested in Amway when I was an IBO. How does that make the world a better place?
IBOs are mostly good and hard working people. They have just been sucked into believing a false cause perpetuated by their upline. Most wake up and get out quickly as I did, but I believe the damage over the years is immense. I hope this blog provides some valuable insight for new and tenured IBOs and prospects.

When Amway IBOs say "Some will, some won't, so what? Next!" it proves that they are living in a fantasy world.
Why? Simple. It's now ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone in North America to listen to the Amway "Plan." There certainly isn't a line-up of people waiting to be interviewed for admission into the Amway racket. There's nobody "next" on the line. You'd be lucky to get your brother-in-law to listen, much less a stranger. Face facts: Amway's reputation is in the toilet, which is why recruiters have to avoid even mentioning the name "Amway." And when "Amway" is finally mentioned, people just get up and leave.
The true thing to say is this: "Very few will, almost all won't, so what the hell can I do to recruit down-line?"
As a matter of cold fact, if by chance you allow yourself to be sucked into an Amway presentation, even when you say no to the proposal the Amway freaks will hound you with e-mail messages and phone calls and even house visits for weeks afterwards. That's how fucking desperate these Amway losers are.
