When I was an IBO many years ago, I was told flat out that tools and functions were vital to Amway success. Our upline diamonds absolutely swore by it. Looking back it was just about the biggest lie our upline told the group. Back in those days when the internet was fairly new, it was easy for diamonds to lie because fact checking was more difficult.
The diamonds told us that nobody made a profit from the tools or functions which was a shameless lie. They also told us that WWDB was a non profit organization which was also a shameless lie. After the diamonds could no longer sustain these lies, they began to admit that there was profit in the tools and functions but the qualifications and compensation plan was shrouded in mystery.
The fact is that diamonds make a significant income from tools and functions. And f I had to estimate, I’d say 20 to 50 percent or more if a diamond’s income is from tools and functions. It is for that reason the diamonds tell you to never miss a function. The numbers attending and purchasing standing orders and books gives the diamonds a steady and predictable stream of income.
It is also for that reason you’ll see diamonds breaking away from their lifelong friends and mentors to form their own groups. If you google or search, you’ll also find lawsuits pitting diamonds against diamonds over tool money. So much for the thought that diamonds make so much money that they barely give a thought about money. It’s all part of the charade put on by your beloved diamonds.

The fact that Diamonds make a huge percentage of their income from "tools" and "functions" only proves that Amway is basically an illegal pyramid scheme. The "products" in Amway are nothing but window-dressing. The real money in Amway is in the recruitment of an endless stream of new IBOs, who can be milked of cash for months and years.
Once an IBO is sucked into the "Plan," it doesn't really matter how much "product" he pushes, as long as he can be forced to purchase endless CDs and tapes and books, and to go to expensive "functions" and weekly meetings with his up-line, and to sign up for the useless and obsolete "CommuniKate" system.
WAKE UP, you stupid Amway IBOs! Tools, functions, meetings, and endless fees are what make your up-line rich! Nobody in the upper echelons of your AMO gives a shit about the Amway products. They're happy if you buy stuff, but they know that the real profit for them is in your endless fees.
Do the various Amway groups still use the antiquated Communikate?
As far as I know, KATE is still used. It’s not needed, except as a revenue source for the diamonds.
Thanx for answering Joe Cool. Maybe you can write a blog post about how the Amway groups tout themselves as being cutting-edge, but are in reality ancient in their business practices and technologies.
