While working as an IBO, I was completely unaware of the fact that our uplines were making a substantial profit off of our tool purchases. As a member of the WWDB team at the time, I was told unequivocally that no money was generated from the tools and, in fact, I was informed that WWDB was a non-profit company. Both of these comments were outright lies uttered by WWDB officials, and they have never been held accountable for them. We were told that our upline was concerned about us and our success, and that they would spend their own money to fly to functions to educate us how to be successful in our business venture. It turns out that these were all fabrications.
The internet and other media eventually made it hard to hide these lies, and uplines were forced to declare that they had profited from the tools they were selling. Although it appears like the upline understated the amount of the tools earnings, this is not the case. I suspect that certain upline members, particularly leaders who may have lost their qualification, may have derived the majority of their revenue through tools. Although the upline now acknowledges that they make some money from tools, there is still a significant lot of mystery around the tools industry. Has anyone ever seen a formal agreement for the reimbursement of tools and equipment? Let's imagine that you qualify for diamond and your crown ambassador determines that you will not receive tool money. What legal recourse do you have in this situation?
One aspect of the tools programme that is odd is that uplines are not intended to attract Amway prospects into joining by offering them money in exchange for tools, but at the same time, they are informed that tools are essential to their success in the business. To attract recruits, uplines also display trappings and lives, but I believe that these trappings and lifestyles were most likely gained through supplemental tool earnings. If the diamonds genuinely own the toys that they flaunt, this would be a good thing. I have a feeling that some people have rented cars or residences to make the presentation more appealing. It also makes perfect sense because tool income has a bigger profit margin than Amway products and fewer people join in the pay plan, therefore it makes sense. Take, for example, Dream Night. It costs approximately $75 per person, but I can arrange a posh supper in a hotel for just $25 to $30 per person. The rest is all about profit. The same is true for FED, however FED is likely to be less expensive because there is no dinner and the charge is approximately $125. There are actual money to be made in that area.
I'm curious how many prospects or Independent Business Owners (IBOs) would be motivated to purchase tools if they were aware that their uplines may not be qualified at the level they claim to be, and that their uplines will make a tonne of money regardless of whether or not you make a cent as an IBO? Additionally, some uplines are shameless in their efforts to push the tools downline. Although they may give the new guy a break and loan them some CDs, once that IBO decides to start building downline, they are likely to be told that a real business owner buys their own tools, or that a business owner needs to be a leader and purchase additional tools for their downline to be successful.
Think about how you'd feel if your upline is bragging about themselves as a financial genius while their homes are in foreclosure or they are experiencing financial issues in the background. What if your upline boasts about their values, but you later discover that they are divorced or are in the process of becoming divorced? Is it true that Amway can save marriages, according to your upline? It's unlikely that your upline will claim to be perfect, but on the contrary, they should be held to the greatest standards if they are utilising their position to sell tools and earn enormous profits.
Some Amway secrets that your upline doesn't want you to know about are as follows:
