One of the things my upline used to say was that if you were engaged in the system of standing orders, voicemail, books, and functions, success was virtually guaranteed. And, to some extent, I believe that this is entirely correct. It is important to note that what the downline IBOs do not comprehend is that success is only assured for those who make a profit from the system. Your upline profits from your Amway volume, and then they benefit even more when you purchase voicemail, standing order, or function tickets from them. This is because the system materials have a higher profit margin than the Amway items.
According to Amway, the average diamond earned well in excess of $100,000 per carat. This is a good salary, but it is not enough to support the lives that are portrayed at Dream Night and other large parties. However, if you factor in an additional $200,000 or more per year, the "diamond lifestyle" appears to be a little more attainable. The unfortunate reality is that relatively few people in the United States ever reach the diamond level, and even those who do achieve that level are frequently unable to maintain it. The diamond club function in Hawaii for US/Canadian diamonds featured a total of 160 diamond ships, according to my calculations. It's a sad state of affairs for a company that has been in operation for so long. I'm also curious as to how many fewer gems might be available today. It appears that Amway sales in North America have been declining in recent years, therefore it is reasonable to assume that there will be fewer diamonds available. As much as I wish Amway would simply release the number, they have refused to do so, leaving us with no choice but to conjecture and make educated predictions.
If new IBOs purchase all of the business-building tools, they are virtually guaranteeing themselves a loss. Newbie IBOs who move 100 PV will receive a bonus of approximately $10. That doesn't even cover the cost of their voicemail system, let alone the other tools they have available. Furthermore, because the majority of IBOs are unable to sponsor downline, these IBOs are loaded with hopes and ambitions that will never come true. It is for this reason that the attrition rate is so high. If IBOs were making money, it stands to reason that they would stay in the business. However, because the majority of them are losing money, they give up. Additionally, IBOs who have been tricked or lied to about the tools are more likely to quit and harbour negative feelings about Amway. We continue to see and hear about IBOs who have been fooled by their upline, despite the fact that the Amway Answer Blog recently published a post stating that they do not turn a blind eye to abuses in the company. I believe that the only way forward is for Amway to provide the necessary training and resources. There will be less of a conflict of interest this way.
If you are looking for information about Amway or are being approached to join the company, make sure you do thorough research and ask lots of questions. If you are told that success is certain, demand documentation, such as a copy of the company's tax return (schedule C). Slide exhibitions of mansions and luxury automobiles are not evidence of money or success in any way. Keep in mind that purchasing tools only ensures the success of the tool vendors, not the success of the customers of the tools. As is customary, I encourage anyone to disprove my claims.
