Upline would tell the audience as nauseum that tools and functions are the key to success. It’s kind of ironic as tools and functions are vital to success, but it’s vital only to the success of the diamonds and higher ups. Think about it. The diamonds pocket the profits and show you all the luxuries they enjoy but they don’t mention that much of their luxuries come from tools and functions profits.
Diamonds used to lie and claim no profits were made from tools and functions but that lie is now impossible to defend do they might mention that profits are made but down play the amount of the profits. One revealing piece of evidence came in 2009 when a triple diamond filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy and his income details became publicly available. It revealed that the triple diamond made about half a million annually from Amway, which is a good income but certainly not the Uber wealth you would have imagined. This diamond also made about half a million annually from tools and functions.
So even with a million dollar income this diamond had credit card debt, was unable to pay his bills and I didn’t see any charitable donations on his tax returns. Now a million dollars annually is a great income but you aren’t buying mansions and a fleet of sports cars in cash. Living the “diamond” lifestyle is expensive and I suspect that the average diamond likely can’t sustain that lifestyle. It seems that the income from tools and functions are vital to sustain a diamonds finances.
Think about this. Income from tools and functions have a higher profit margin than Amway products and unlike the Amway compensation plan, rank and file IBOs do not get anything for the volume of tools they move. Thus the diamonds will push the tools hard and take no prisoners. It’s also why your lifelong Amway uplines don’t give a hoot about you once you stop attending functions or stop buying tools. You become one of the bitter and broke losers who quit.
Tools and functions are vital to Amway success; if you are a diamond. This does not apply to the rank and file.

Back in the 90s, I was running a language lab, and I needed about 200 cassette tapes (blank,no labels) for students to record foreign language newscasts, etc, for self-study later. I called a tape production company to get a price for blank cassettes. At this time I was a whopping 1500 PV level with Amway, in BWW. Anyway, the guy at the company said - "$50 mastering fee, and 50 cents per cassette, including label." I started to tell the guy I didn't want content transferred to the cassettes, just blank tapes, but I actually said, "No, I only need - WAIT A MINUTE. If I give you a 60-minute tape reel, and want 10,000 tapes, It's $50 master and 50 cents a tape?" The guy said yes. At 10,000 tapes, the mastering fee is way less then a penny, so each tape is between 50 and 51 cents. At that time, we were paying $7.00 per tape from BWW.
It just goes to show you -- the people running those Amway subsystems (like BWW and the others) are just lying through their teeth.
Listen to the Hugh Zhang podcast. He was an emerald in BWW and left it all. He explains the BWW education systems deceptive and manipulated tactics and how much money they make off of tools.
