One thing I was completely unaware of as an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) was that our uplines were reaping substantial financial benefits from our tool purchases. In my capacity as a WWDB employee at the time, I was informed unequivocally that no profit was made from the tools, and in fact, I was informed that WWDB was a non-profit organisation. Both of these comments were outright lies uttered by WWDB officials, and they have never been held accountable for them. We were told that our upline was concerned about us and our success, and that they would spend their own money to fly to functions to educate us how to be successful in our business venture. When you look back, the lies revealed by the WWDB leaders were blatantly dishonest.
When the internet and other media (such as The Dateline Expose) made it hard to conceal these lies, uplines were forced to declare that they had profited from the tools. However, it appears that they have understated the scale of the earnings from the instruments. I suspect that certain upline members, particularly leaders who may have lost their qualification, may have derived the majority of their revenue through tools. Although the upline now acknowledges that they make some money from tools, there is still a significant lot of mystery around the tools industry. That the uplines are not intended to tempt Amway prospects into joining by offering them tools money is hilarious, given that they are told that tools are critical to their success. However, this is exactly what happens in this situation.
I'm curious how many prospects or Independent Business Owners (IBOs) would be motivated to purchase tools if they were aware that their uplines may not be qualified at the level they claim to be, and that their uplines will make a tonne of money regardless of whether or not you make a cent as an IBO? Additionally, some uplines are shameless in their efforts to push the tools downline. Although they may give the new guy a break and loan them some CDs, once that IBO decides to start building downline, they are likely to be told that a real business owner buys their own tools, or that a business owner needs to be a leader and purchase additional tools for their downline to be successful.
What would you think if your upline was bragging about themselves as a financial genius while, in the background, their homes were foreclosed on or they were experiencing financial difficulties? What if your upline boasts about their values, but you later discover that they are divorced or are in the process of becoming divorced? Is it true that Amway can save marriages, according to your upline? It's unlikely that your upline will claim to be perfect, but on the contrary, they should be held to the greatest standards if they are utilising their position to sell tools and earn enormous profits.
Many Amway prospects and Independent Business Owners (IBOs) are unaware of this, but they may now be.
