Consider the following scenario: an island with 100 adult citizens. One of the guys is sponsored into Amway by a cousin who lives in a different part of the island. Well, because the islanders are such a close-knit group, the one IBO soon supports his six best buddies and eventually sponsors all 100 islanders. They are all extremely dedicated to the Amway business and put in long hours, but because they are all Independent Business Owners (IBOs), they are only able to consume 100 PV each. As a result, the 100 IBOs shift a total of 10,000 PV per month. Approximately 30,000 BV are generated by the group as a whole, and the group receives $7500 in bonus money from Amway. Without a doubt, the first IBO sponsored is now a platinum member, and he receives the majority of the money, with the remaining members receiving lower amounts.
Because they are serious IBOs, they all receive a standing order, books of the month, and travel by plane to all of their events. They spend an average of approximately $250 per month on Amway training and tools. In order to fund the training that will eventually allow them to retire and leave their occupations, the group pays approximately $25,000 per month. Each month, the island community suffers a net loss of $17,500 in revenue from the local economy. However, there is one resident IBO who is making a good living and encourages everyone to do the same. Let's take a look at the group.
The platinum IBO is earning a good living and will be eligible for a $20,000 bonus at the end of the year, among other benefits. In order to break even (roughly 1000 PV), his six downline pals earn just enough to make a small profit or even lose a bit. The remaining residents have suffered a total loss of nearly $200,000 ($17,500 per month). The owner of the local food shop went out of business, and all of the entertainment-related businesses suffered as a result of the locals' lack of discretionary income, which prevented them from spending their money on anything other than Amway-related activities. They eventually all left, even the platinum, who did so since, as soon as his group left, he began to lose money as well.
Those who defend Amway may argue that this could never happen, but it demonstrates that even if you could recruit everyone in the United States to join, this is exactly what would happen. I believe that the Amway name and reputation in the United States has been saturated for the most part. Almost everyone has heard of the Amway brand and/or knows someone who has had a run-in with the company. There are undoubtedly millions of people in the United States who have had a negative experience with Amway as a result of the tool peddlers such as WWDB, BWW, or Network 21. They may have been deceived into attending a meeting or lied to about something linked to Amway.
While this is a hypothetical scenario, it is based on what would happen if there was a city where everyone worked for the same company. This is exactly what is happening right now. Only a small number of people gain at the expense of their downline. In addition, as is always the case, it is the instruments that cause people to lose money – whether on Amway island or anyplace else.
