Getting prospects to think about their financial objectives and goals is one of the most prevalent methods Amway salespeople do to attract them to join the company. After all, who wouldn't like to be retired at the age of 35 and strolling along the shores of beautiful beaches around the world while sipping mai tais? Or, alternatively, who wouldn't want to live a life of luxury and pleasure, with endless influxes of income to fund all of the fun and frivolity that life has to offer? Of course, the majority of people are enthused by this.
Unfortunately, as a result of people's involvement in Amway, many of the things that they are enthusiastic about or the things that they join for are often no longer available. Numerous independent business owners have had their money accounts drained by leech companies that have been associated with the Amway industry, leading them to abandon their aspirations and resign. These organisations, such as the WWBD or the BWW, will market their materials as the key to success in the Amway organisation. However, in actuality, these companies make substantial profits while virtually bankrupting the IBOs in their downline. What's even more tragic is that the system does not produce the kind of success that is advertised. We're talking about less than 0.5 percent of the population reaching the platinum level, which is supposedly the point at which you break even or make a modest profit. That's hardly something to be proud of, is it? What happened to the fruit on the tree that my upline leaders were talking about?
During my time in the business, uplines instructed us to purchase all of the necessary materials. Books, standing order tapes/cds, functions, and a variety of other resources are all available. In fact, upline requested that IBOs purchase an additional 5-7 tapes or CDs each week in addition to their regular standing order. After all, you should be exposed to new stuff on a daily basis, right? In reality, upline wished for people to "invest" or spend all of their earnings on these items in order to achieve success. In an open meeting situation, a diamond stated that your family may forego a dinner in order to obtain another tape or CD because the material was so precious that you might hear the one thing that propels you to the diamond level of accomplishment. It's almost as though purchasing a cassette or CD is like purchasing a lottery ticket.
And, unfortunately, some independent business owners did go "all in." They splurged on tools as if there were no tomorrow. Couples who had gone bankrupt and a couple whose home had been foreclosed on were both in my crossline at the time. The question now is whether or whether their financial difficulties were caused solely by their involvement with Amway. I'm not sure, but purchasing hundreds of dollars' worth of products on a regular basis might undoubtedly contribute to someone's financial difficulties. And these IBOs followed the recommendations of their upline. As a result, upline recommended this even though they were likely aware that these IBOs were experiencing financial difficulties. If they are willing to tell you to starve your children, it is unlikely that they will be worried about your other concerns. Another occasion I attended was one in which a diamond lectured on how long you may put off paying a mortgage before it results in a foreclosure. Most likely, this was done to prevent individuals from going into debt to attend a significant event.
When your uplines try to sell you dreams, it is a really sad situation indeed. When they are genuinely selling you damaged dreams, it is even more distressing.
