Joecool's blog has lately been visited by an individual who appears to be an IBO. 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 In other words, if you aren't looking through rose-colored glasses and making positive comments, your comments will not be published. In addition, another current WWDB IBO, who operated his Expeditions of Truth blog, will not publish comments, but he has reportedly since resigned and abandoned his blog. A WWDB IBO named "transparency of a dreamer" is linked to from my blog, and a recent post from that IBO was disproved on this blog under the same title as the author's blog, also linked from my site (Transparency of a Dreamer).
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 the top one percent of independent business owners in that state saw an average net loss.
That is the absolute truth. Some IBOs appear to be unable to cope with the situation.
