There's one Amway apologist named Bridgett who continually likes to use "old" and "outdated" as her source of criticism against Amway critics. She uses this feeble excuse as a means to defend Amway and WWDB. She claims that things have changed, and that critic's experiences are old and invalid. She says some of these things despite the fact that she participates on the blog of a WWDB IBO who is saying the same things I heard as an IBO over 25 years ago. Bridgett is either wrong or purposely distorting the truth, apparently. I recently had a WWDB IBO email me with current WWDB documents and I will be posting the details below. It is exactly the same stuff I was told as an IBO more than 25 years ago. Old habits die hard I guess. The only difference is that as an IBO, we did not use the internet. Basically the rest is the same VERBATIM. So much for Bridgett's credibility. Not that she had any credibility. I don't think she's very smart. :-)
Here's the details from the WWDB IBO's documents:

A lot of teams have mandated in recent years a Ditto on the First..followed by 300 on the First...then 500 on the First (strongly recommended, but comes off as a mandate). This was drilled into our minds when I was in URA / URAssociation.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for this? Of course to lock in the PV/BV at the first of the month for Upline.
If you don't process a Ditto on the First, you will get called out...maybe not directly, but at least via a text message. If Dittos are low, Upline will also send out an app message lying talking about "Dittos not processing correctly." and that "This is a multi-billion dollar company bigger than the NFL so of course they are going to have issues guys." and to "Make sure you check and get your Dittos processed." This is also done in a desperation-type sound. Picture the whininess coming across in audio format.
If money is low and you can't process a Ditto, then that's all on you. You are "highly recommended" to get a Credit Card to purchase your Ditto every month.
It's all a massive joke. If you're reading this and checking out the "business", don't give them the satisfaction. Please don't. It's not worth it.
