This is something I see and hear pretty frequently: that the majority of IBOs do nothing and then quit. The majority of the time, this is some Amway apologist attempting to justify why the average earnings of an IBO are so low. Even if a large number of IBOs "do nothing," they are still considered registered IBOs, and so count when attempting to determine a "average." One of the things that Amway apologists like to do is to eliminate individuals who do nothing while simultaneously including the top performers in the average, presenting a distorted picture of what the profits are for a rank and file IBO. In my opinion, it would be preferable to exclude the lowest and highest earners from the sample. Then you'll have a more accurate picture of how much money someone might anticipate to make working for Amway.
However, let us consider the phrase "do nothing." I can't accept the fact that the vast majority of people do absolutely nothing. They were willing to engage in a business conversation with someone. They were sufficiently motivated to be on the lookout for something. There was sufficient motivation for them to (most likely) attend a presentation, as well as sufficient motivation for them to invest money on a beginning kit. I would also point out that many organisations, such as BWW, WWDB, or Network 21, for example, will charge a fee for that starter kit, which may include some tools or a ticket to the next function, among other things. If you go to the Amway website, you will discover that the actual fee of enrollment is less than one hundred dollars. With the costs charged by motivational groups, it is possible that beginning kits will cost several hundred dollars or more. That being the case, I find it difficult to believe that someone went through all of the above, paid to join, and then simply left the starter kit sitting around collecting dust.
In my opinion, many people "accomplish nothing," but they don't "do nothing," which would be contrary to popular belief. My belief is that people sign up, and they do contact others and try to sell the business or some items, but due of prior IBO activity, they are labelled as scammers or pyramid salespeople, and there is an extremely low number of people that are interested in joining Amway. Knowing that they will not be able to "go diamond" without sponsoring, many, if not all, independent business owners (IBOs) attempt to recruit people to join them. Because many Amway items are not competitively priced, and because of previous reputation concerns, it is extremely difficult to recruit new members into the company. This, in my opinion, explains why Amway is developing more quickly in other nations, because independent business owners (IBOs) have not yet tarnished the company's reputation. Keeping this in mind, I believe that the real-world average income is approximately $100 per month, rather than the $200+ per month that Amway recently announced, because they simply removed more than half of the IBO sales force from their calculations.
If anyone claim that all of these individuals "did nothing," challenge them to explain how they could possible know if someone "did nothing." The answer is that they aren't aware of anything. It was a pleasure watching folks come and go throughout my time as an IBO. Some were inactive while others were active. But there was not one person who joined and never even opened the beginning kit, let alone tried to prospect and/or sell. I believe that the Amway system is fundamentally defective, and that the poor achievement levels of Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in general are a result of this flawed system. You are allowed to attempt to prove me wrong (but you will not be successful).
The notion that the majority of people who sign up as Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in Amway fail to reach any level of success because they "do nothing" is one of the most pervasive and persistent falsehoods concerning the business model used by Amway. Even though it is a fact that not everyone who joins the Amway business opportunity will go on to achieve financial success, the idea that the majority of individuals "do nothing" is mostly erroneous and misleading.
As a matter of fact, the success rate for Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) is impossible to ascertain due to the fact that the firm does not make this information publicly available. However, over the course of the past several years, a number of research and polls have been carried out in order to throw light on the success rates of individuals who join in multi-level marketing (MLM) firms like Amway. According to the findings of an investigation into the multi-level marketing (MLM) sector conducted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), only a small proportion of participants make significant money, with the rest generating very little or no income at all.
It is important to keep in mind that success in the Amway business model, just like success in any other business opportunity, is primarily reliant on the individual's degree of commitment, effort, and competence. These figures may be discouraging, but it is important to keep in mind that success in the Amway business model is just like success in any other business opportunity. Although it may be difficult for some IBOs to attain success, others may discover considerable financial rewards as well as personal fulfillment through their efforts.
It is also crucial to note that the majority of people who join up to become Independent Business Owners (IBOs) do so with the goal of merely purchasing Amway items at a discount and do not intend to create a business using their IBO status. These people may not be actively pursuing the business opportunity or recruiting others, but they are still contributing to the overall sales volume of the company even though they are not doing so.
The significant turnover rate that exists within the multi-level marketing industry is another element that leads to the idea that the majority of Amway Independent Business Owners ("IBOs") "do nothing." It's possible that many people may sign up to become IBOs, but then they'll give up or get disheartened when they don't see immediate results in their business. This might result in a high turnover rate, which is the rate at which individuals leave an organization after only a short length of time having worked there.
While it is true that not every person who signs up as an Amway IBO will achieve financial success, the idea that the majority "do nothing" is mostly a fallacy. In general, it is true that not every person who signs up as an Amway IBO will achieve financial success. As is the case with other types of business opportunities, becoming successful with the Amway business model demands a great amount of work, commitment, and expertise. Although it may be difficult for some IBOs to attain success, others may discover considerable financial rewards as well as personal fulfillment through their efforts.
