Specifically, I was thinking about how Amway prospects are encouraged to see the Amway compensation plan. It is common for an IBO to use a little misinformation or half-truths to get a prospect interested in their product or service. But then I thought about the plan, and how much deception was employed by the speaker in the planning process itself.
As a result, IBOs and fresh prospects are duped from the very beginning of the process. The speaker may engage in some light conversation and persuade the audience to agree on a few minor points, such as the fact that income tax and insurance are eating away at your paycheck, among other things. After hearing this, a prospect will understand what is being said and will be more inclined to agree with and trust the speaker to some extent. After all, the speaker has been positioned as a financial genius throughout the presentation.
After that, the deception begins......
It is possible that the speaker will claim that IBOs save 30% on products from the beginning, which is untrue in this case. The fact that you are not saving 30% is readily apparent to anyone who has looked at an Amway catalogue. Simply walking through the aisles of WalMart or Costco will allow you to readily compare pricing. All Amway products are more expensive than equivalent items sold by shops or big box stores in the broader marketplace. The Amway supporters say that WalMart does not sell Amway items in order to defend their position, although WalMart does sell shampoo, laundry detergent, and cleansers, all of which are frequently a fraction of the price that Amway charges.
The speaker may then claim that 98 percent of people are dead or broke by the time they reach the age of 65, which is not accurate. During the presentation, the speaker may mention that 90 percent or more of small enterprises fail during the first five years of operation. In order to make other chances appear inferior in comparison to the Amway offer, these small factoids (which are incorrect) are supposedly employed. If anyone does their homework, they will discover that many of the statements made by the Amway speaker (recruiter) are likewise untrue, as demonstrated by the following examples.
It is possible that the speaker will mention how the Amway business opportunity is inexpensive to start and has little or no overhead. Nonetheless, the problem is that many loyal IBOs will be hosed as their upline begins to teach them that they must invest in their business by sending voicemails, purchasing books of the month on a monthly basis, setting up standing orders, and attending all meetings and activities. These expenditures almost ensure that an IBO would wind up with a net loss of income at the end of the year. Furthermore, upline may instruct that this is a sign of success! Appalling!
So here's a question for IBOs and potential customers. Is it a good opportunity if you have been lied to or fooled from the beginning of the relationship?
