My Amway upline diamond used to tell me that replication, or copying, is the secret to success. He'd compare it to being in elementary school and duplicating someone else's answers, and say that if you can master that one ability, you'll be successful in Amway. Even what downline IBOs do should be duplicable, according to what upline would say, which means that others should be able to imitate it.
Isn't that charming and straightforward? Simply replicate as if you were at school, peering over the shoulder of the class genius. Isn't it simple and clear forward? However, it is clear that this notion does not function. If it did, the rank-and-file IBOs would be cranking out a lot of success on a regular basis. Instead, we witness a revolving door of employees arriving and departing (quitting) without earning a net profit or losing money, which is usually due to company costs such as tools and functions.
And it's no surprise that duplication doesn't work in practise due to the system's flaws. You're purchasing and/or selling things that are relatively obscure and generic in nature, yet are being offered at high costs. That isn't to imply that all Amway items are awful or that they aren't worth buying, but you can get a better deal at Costco or WalMart. It's difficult to disagree with that unless you're a completely committed and brainwashed IBO.
In general, most upline training involves “core” stages for IBOs to follow, which, while not sophisticated, are challenging to follow. Finding others who are willing to see the plan or sell things to you is very challenging, and you can't just copy yourself to success. IBOs, on the other hand, can listen to audios, read books, purchase their de facto 100 PV allotment, and participate in all meetings and events.
Unfortunately, the processes that are easy to copy or replicate are the ones that cost IBOs money, while the stages that are critical to growth, such as selling items and demonstrating the strategy, are almost hard to duplicate. In a nutshell, this is why the great majority of IBOs in the Amway business opportunity either lose money or make no money. And that, in my opinion, is a well-informed viewpoint.
