In my opinion, one of the weaknesses of the Amway compensation model is that the newest IBO, who may also be the one who puts in the most "Work," receives the smallest income. Amway returns approximately 30% of their earnings in the form of bonuses to their customers. An IBO who completes 100 PV earns a 3 percent bonus, with the remaining 9 percent going to uplines and sponsors, among other things. Some members of the upline may not even have met the IBO who performed the actual task. Is that really fair, and is it a level playing field for all participants? I'm curious what some of these uplines do to earn the lion's share of the bonus you worked so hard to earn. Yes, the upline diamond may demonstrate the plan in an open meeting, which may be beneficial to you; however, you must pay to be admitted to that meeting. If you do not have any visitors to bring, you have paid for nothing and have gained no benefit at all. Someone who signs up first is entitled to a lifetime cut of your volume based on the fact that they did so first. That does not appear to be an equal playing field in my opinion.
Many of your uplines will speak of dreams and the fulfilment of those desires. However, if an IBO takes a step back and considers his or her actions, it is easy to see that you are fulfilling the dreams of the Amway owners and your upline, rather than your own. For each unit of volume that you move, you receive a small portion of the bonus. If you are a member of the system, you are also responsible for compensating your upline in the form of tool and function purchases in exchange for the privilege of providing them bonus payments with your product purchases. But yours are not among those whose dreams are being realised.
It is for this reason that your upline diamonds can parade around on stage in fine outfits and show you their expensive vehicles, mansions, and other luxuries, among other things. This is due to the fact that they are profiting off your efforts as well as your tool and function purchases. You are assisting them in realising their ambitions. Your commitment to shifting volume and placing purchase standing orders is helping to make dreams come true. The aspirations of the upline. While it is possible to dream of having your own downline to exploit for your own gain one day, the reality is that unless you are constantly adding new members to your group, you will never attain the kinds of dreams that uplines talk about achieving in the first place. In the meanwhile, though, you are undoubtedly assisting someone higher up the chain of command in the achievement of their goals by attending each and every gathering. Ironically, even if your upline leaders are unaware of your personal situation, they will encourage you to never give up your position. They don't want you to leave because it will have an impact on their income. It is sometimes necessary to exit a firm in order to avoid bleeding money for an indefinite period of time, and this is a sensible business move. If you decide to leave Amway, it does not rule out the possibility of finding another opportunity to pursue your objectives and goals. More than likely, any alternative to losing money in Amway will be preferable to losing money in Amway.
Here's a challenge for IBOs and/or prospects who are interested in being part of the Amway organisation. Keeping 100 PV running will cost approximately $300 per month, and maintaining a commitment to the tools system will cost approximately $200 per month or more on average. Are there any situations in which it would be wiser to simply write a $100 check to your upline and not even join? Instead of participating, wouldn't you be better off staying in your home and watching television? In the event that you have read all of the information on this site and still decide to participate, best of luck to you; but, keep in mind who is having their wishes fulfilled as a result of your participation. Which is more important, yours or your upline?
