One of the things that Amway diamonds remind me of is a con artist, which is one of the things that I associate with them. What in the world am I talking about when I say that? To state the obvious is to say that it is entirely correct in my perspective. The gems take the stage, flaunting the trappings of riches in an attempt to entice new customers into the firm. Their "tools" or training are then promoted as the secret to their success, and they sell them more tools or training. They then blame the prospect's inability to succeed on his or her failure to work hard enough or on their failure to follow instructions precisely. I was an IBO, and I followed the advice of my upline, I used eagle parameters, and I still did not make a net profit, even after I reached the 4000 PV level. It's quite unlikely that anyone could honestly complain that I didn't put in enough effort or that I didn't do things correctly. However, my upline diamond insisted that I re-invest the money into tools because they are scam artists, and I would have made a net profit otherwise. Yes, I was partially to blame for listening to them, but was I also to be expected to question and debate with someone who had apparently reached the pinnacle of success in the Amway business opportunity?
During the course of my blogging career, I've made contact with a number of high-level IBOs (platinums) who have shared anecdotes of backstage talks in which the diamonds refer to the audience as "hopeful suckers," knowing full well that these people are doomed to failure. Nonetheless, they have the audacity to stand on stage and attempt to earnestly sell optimism in the form of CDs, books, gatherings, and voicemail messages to the public. That's why the audience believes it: they want to believe that you can work hard for 2-5 years and retire early with money streaming into your bank accounts, and that's what they want to believe. Who wouldn't want something like that? Diamonds are aware that this is a fabrication, but they continue to pitch the next gathering or conference as though attendees can expect to strike gold.
As a member of WWDB (World Wide Dream Builders), I can tell you that while some groups may be slightly different, they are largely the same in that they are for-profit corporations that sell training to Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in order to make a profit. They make a nice profit even if all the IBOs lose money. There is no evidence to suggest that these tools and training are beneficial to IBOs' ability to succeed. In fact, I believe that anyone who achieves success in Amway does so despite, rather than as a result of, the tools available to them. When you think about the Amway message, you'll see that the majority of their "core" stages include activities that cost you money rather than generate income. Some of the teaching I heard in meetings dealt with how long you could put off paying your rent/mortgage and other payments before you would get into trouble and lose your job. I assume the gems wanted you to spend your last dollar on tools, which is what you did. One diamond suggested that your family forego a meal in order to get more CDs because one of those CDs may have the one item that will drive you to diamond. If they had the opportunity, these people would steal your last dollar. They were shamelsss. Two of my crossline IBOs encountered some difficulties with Amway and sought assistance from the upline. One couple was forced to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy, while the other pair had their home foreclosed upon.
However, while the diamonds are dressed nicely and have pleasant smiles, one has to ask whether they genuinely believe the very teachings that they preach on stage. One thing that Amway affirmed was that after you attain diamond status, they will continue to recognise your diamond pin even if you no longer meet the requirements. As a result, some diamonds may be selling you instruction and functions when they are actually qualified platinums, not to mention diamonds. The Duncans, for example, are an old-timer diamond from the 1980s who may have high rankings today, but in reality, they created their enterprises in the days before the internet and social media became commonplace. How does it qualify them to teach now, unless they can demonstrate that they are still qualified as diamonds, which they cannot do?
Prospects and information seekers should exercise caution when someone is attempting to recruit them into the Amway business. While the diamonds can tell you a smooth storey and make the business appear "simple" and "doable," in reality, Amway products can be difficult to sell to anyone other than family and friends who are sympathetic. Furthermore, sponsorship is problematic in the United States, since saturation has most certainly occurred.
Take caution, however, when dealing with diamonds, who may appear real and genuine, but who are actually con artists attempting to sell you on a business in which you are unlikely to make a profit, much less amass unfathomable and limitless fortune. At the very least, if you read this blog post, you will be able to identify some of the strategies used by Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) to attract people into the business.
It is neither truthful nor fair to generalize all Amway Diamonds as dishonest people. Even while there may be instances of fraudulent behavior within the Amway industry or within certain Diamond groups, it is essential to note that these are isolated episodes and do not reflect the integrity and professionalism of the larger Amway community.
The vast majority of Amway Diamonds are businesspeople who put in a lot of effort and have achieved success through the use of morally sound trade procedures and a dedication to assisting others in achieving their goals. They devote a great amount of time, energy, and resources to the development of their companies, and they frequently take on mentoring and leadership roles within the communities in which they reside.
However, just as in any other sector of the economy or field of endeavor, there are likely to be people operating in a manner that is unethical or fraudulent in order to attain success more rapidly or with less effort. These persons may participate in unethical or criminal behaviors such as using fraudulent recruitment tactics, exaggerating the prospective earnings of the Amway firm, or engaging in other forms of business misconduct.
It is essential for Amway distributors and potential recruits to be aware of these dangers and to take precautions to safeguard themselves from them. This may entail conducting exhaustive research on possible Diamond organizations, searching for sources of information about the Amway business that are not affiliated with the company, and being suspicious of any promises of gaining wealth quickly or without any effort.
In addition, the Amway company has a variety of precautions and procedures in place to avoid unethical behavior and to maintain the business's reputation and credibility. This involves stringent regulations about ethical behavior and marketing techniques, as well as consistent inspection and monitoring of diamond organizations.
In the end, it is up to each person to perform their own research and due diligence and come to their own conclusions regarding the extent to which they want to be involved in the Amway business. Individuals can boost their chances of developing a successful and ethical Amway business by increasing their awareness of the dangers involved and by taking proactive efforts to protect themselves from those hazards.
