In the past, and perhaps still today, one of the fallacies that upline has propagated is the notion that you can develop an Amway mega empire working only 8-12 hours per week. Taking an informed guess, this number is utilised since, while it still reflects time, it is most likely less hours than working a part-time job. Nonetheless, let's take a closer look at this 8-12 hour a week commitment.
Using upline's recommendation of one (1) CD per day and 15 minutes per day to read one of their "Success" books, you have already spent up nearly nine hours of your time, yet neither of these activities generates any cash for your Amway firm. In reality, both activities will cost you money and will yield no practical results. If you spend an additional 15 minutes per day contacting people, you will have spent close to 12 hours per week contacting people. Is it possible for you to find additional time to demonstrate the plan and to grow your name and contact list? Was there any thought given to customer service, at least for IBOs who might really have some customers?
And what about going to meetings and social gatherings? These are also non-profit activities that do not generate cash. It's no surprise that the vast majority of IBOs fail to produce a profit. As a result, they are compelled to spend their time indulging in activities that generate little revenue for their company. However, those uplines who manufacture and sell these non-revenue generating activities, such as listening to music, generate a significant amount of income for themselves. To my eyes, it's nothing more than an intricate game of bait and switch perpetrated by the upper echelon. They assure you that their technique is infallible and that if you don't give up, you will be able to complete the course. This is not correct.
You sell the prospect on the idea of achieving financial independence. You tell them that Amway is their greatest bet at making it big. It is your responsibility to inform them that you can assist them and that the business's tools (standing order, voicemail, books, and functions) are essential to their success. Those who are serious enough to commit to the system are unlikely to resign without putting up some effort, which will allow their uplines to gain some great earnings before these downline realise they aren't profitable and quit themselves. Because many independent business owners (IBOs) are supported by family and friends, there aren't many formal complaints filed against the company. The majority of individuals accept it as a life lesson and do not voice their dissatisfaction.
However, independent business owners and information seekers should not be deluded into believing that by spending 8-12 hours a week they will be able to build a financial empire. But that would be a long shot. When comparing the number of very successful Amway IBOs to the number of people that sign up, it's like comparing lottery winners to lottery winners.
