If the platinum is sold out on the system, they will end up losing money. The expense of tools and functions, and travel to show the plan is just too much.<br /><br />I suspect my former sponsor and platinum lost serious money over the years. Sadly, since 1993 to now, he is still in Amway.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-57884647394799726032016-07-13T15:47:59.447-07:002016-07-13T15:47:59.447-07:00My secret informant at WWDB tells me that apart fr...My secret informant at WWDB tells me that apart from the diamonds and a few big pins, almost everyone in the organization is losing money or just barely breaking even. Platinums (who he says are the real backbone of Amway, and the ones who do the lion's share of the organizational and promotional work) make a very modest income and frequently fall out of qualification. The business is like a roller coaster ride for them -- ups, downs, and highly unpredictable.<br /><br />Even tool and function income is uncertain, for it depends on how many IBOs one can corral into obedience. This varies widely, and has to be revved up constantly by meeting after meeting, and exhortation after exhortation.<br /><br />In a situation like this, fakery is essential. You have to have a big smile plastered on your face ALL THE TIME. You can never admit, even for a microsecond, that business isn't "great." You have to be charged up and energized like an overheated dynamo.<br /><br />Being in Amway means lying -- all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
