An independent business owner from Texas has lately visited Joecool's blog. This independent business owner maintains his own pro-Amway blog. Congratulations to him! What I find strange is that so many independent business owners (IBOs) like cultivating the comments on their blogs. In other words, if you aren't looking through rose-colored glasses and making positive comments, your comments will not be published. Another current WWDB IBO, who maintains his Expeditions of Truth blog, has similarly stated that he will not post comments.
On the other hand, this blog allows for both advantages and disadvantages. I encourage open dialogue, and I even tolerate insults and barbs from time to time. Indeed, it is only a debate about a contentious firm, and to be honest, the controversy and tarnished reputation have been well deserved for some time. Numerous cases have been told of consumers being misled or outright lied to about a "opportunity," or of IBOs concealing the fact that they have been asked to an Amway meeting. Despite this, there are still IBO leaders who cite photographs of mansions or sports vehicles as proof that Amway is effective and that the same results can be achieved in 2-5 years of hard effort. Alternatively, you may build it once and walk away with money beyond your wildest expectations. Many of these statements are flat-out frauds, and in other cases, the diamonds on stage are actually in debt or experiencing financial difficulties themselves. There is a plethora of proof available on the internet.
As a result, why do IBOs try to conceal the truth? Is it because the truth isn't really enticing to look at? Is it true that Amway is experiencing a net loss in its business? Is it true that you are spending more money on equipment than you are bringing in through your sales efforts? Are you truly selling things to consumers (i.e., non-IBOs) or are you mostly purchasing the 100 PV for your own use? Are you advertising vitamins and making nutritional claims without having any knowledge of nutrition? I have witnessed some of these behaviours in some IBOs, and they are listed below. Some of these actions are dishonest and immoral in their nature. Some IBOs have even gone so far as to post veiled threats on my blog, which is a dangerous precedent. IBOs, on the other hand, continue to assert that everything is "perfect."
The reality is that the strategy that has been presented to numerous prospects reflects the truth. In a 6-4-2 plan, or any other version of the plan, only roughly one in every hundred people will reach the platinum level. We already know that less than 1 percent of IBOs achieve platinum status when we take into account the fact that many IBOs quit or sign up and accomplish nothing. We also know that an IBO dedicated to "systems" such as BWW or WWDB incurs a significant amount of expenditure, including functions, travel, CDs, and other materials. As a result, after expenses, a platinum is likely to generate very little net revenue, if any at all. While a little out of date, a research conducted in Wisconsin indicated that platinum mines in that state experienced a net loss on average.
That is the absolute truth. Some IBOs appear to be unable to cope with the situation.
Independent Business Owners (IBOs) of Amway are often accused of being incapable of handling criticism or negative information regarding the firm or the business opportunity. This is a typical criticism leveled against IBOs. Although this may be the case for certain independent business owners (IBOs), it is essential to keep in mind that not all IBOs exhibit this quality.
In spite of this, there are a few reasons why some Independent Business Owners can find it difficult to deal with adverse information or criticism regarding Amway. The following are some of the possible explanations for this:
The tendency to search for and interpret information in a manner that supports preexisting views or expectations is referred to as confirmation bias. A good number of Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have a significant amount of money invested in the Amway business opportunity and have a firm faith in the company's products as well as its business model. As a consequence of this, people may be more likely to seek out information that bolsters their viewpoints, while simultaneously being more likely to disregard or overlook material that goes against those viewpoints.
Cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort or mental tension that a person has as a result of holding two or more beliefs or values that are in direct opposition to one another. When confronted with bad information or criticism, Independent Business Owners who have already put a large amount of time and money into the Amway business opportunity may develop cognitive dissonance. Because of this, they may choose to minimize the significance of the information or choose to disregard it altogether in an effort to alleviate the unease.
Groupthink is a phenomena that occurs when members of a group place a higher value on conformity and reaching consensus than they do on critical thinking and making decisions independently. There is a possibility that some IBOs are part of a close-knit community consisting of other IBOs who hold ideas and beliefs comparable to their own. In a setting like this one, it may be difficult to voice conflicting viewpoints or to contradict the narrative that is generally accepted regarding Amway.
Because it would imply acknowledging that they have made a mistake or that they have put time and money into something that may not be as successful as they previously believed, some IBOs may be reluctant to acknowledge negative information about Amway. Fear of Losing Face or Investment: Some IBOs may be reluctant to acknowledge negative information about Amway. Ignoring or playing down unfavorable facts might be strongly motivated by the fear of suffering a loss of face or of one's investment.
It is essential to keep in mind that not all Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have trouble dealing with unfavorable information or criticism regarding Amway. A good number of IBOs are receptive to feedback and eager to think about issues from a variety of perspectives. If, on the other hand, a person has difficulty processing negative information or criticism, it may be good to approach the discussion with empathy and compassion, and to present evidence-based information in a manner that is not judgemental. It is likely that by doing so, it will be possible to participate in productive debate and encourage a more fair perspective of the business opportunity offered by Amway.
Thanks, that was a really cool read!
