Because the internet is so widely available, information is openly shared, and some of the dark secrets of the Lines of Sponsorship have been revealed as a result of this. It is also becoming increasingly apparent that a group of upline leaders are massive hypocrites who are apparently motivated by avarice and personal gain as time progresses. This is also a pattern that I anticipate will continue. According to the evidence, these same leaders have been able to go through Amway's accreditation criteria, which appear to be completely ineffective.
Many upline leaders use stories about how the Amway business may help couples save their marriages to entice people to join them. I recall being in the audience when some diamonds talked about how couples who start their own businesses have a divorce rate of less than 2 percent, compared to the national average of 50 percent or so. One of the most frequently cited reasons was the financial strain that J-O-B workers were under (not enough cash). However, we are seeing more and more upline diamond leaders getting divorced, and in some cases, no explanation is given, as if the missing spouse was beam up by extraterrestrials to the surface. The history of many leaders is simply rewritten, and some leaders even deny that key events occurred. Some leaders simply act that nothing happened, and it appears that IBOs are extremely forgiving, leading to the lack of any real accountability being applied to upline leaders.
People have also discovered that some diamonds generate a significant amount of revenue from the sale of tools. When I was an IBO, we were told unequivocally that there were no profits to be earned from tools. Profits were re-invested in the functions, allowing them to become better and more affordable. If any function has become more affordable in the previous 12 years, what is it? As a matter of fact, as an Independent Business Owner, I was told that WWDB was a non-profit organisation, which I thought was a flagrant falsehood. I would concede that upline eventually revised their tale to say that WWDB was a for-profit corporation, but that no profits were retained, and that money was instead channelled to make events better and more affordable. When was the last time an event was less expensive, Agsin? Now, I do not believe that events should be held for free, but I do believe that the leaders should be honest about it rather than hiding behind lies and a veil of secrecy that frequently accompany discussions of tools and tool money.
Some upline executives also expressed their displeasure with the idea of taking out a loan, stating that banks make so much money off the interest. In this day and age, we see some of these very leaders having their properties seized! Some of these diamonds were the very ones who stated that they would pay cash for everything, even their homes and automobiles, if they could. No, it is not with the intention of causing harm to these individuals, but rather to bring to light the lies and deception that leaders used to attract IBOs to join and purchase equipment that were intended to enable IBOs achieve the same lifestyle as diamonds. To the contrary, I believe that WWDB and some other LOSs, at least in the United States, have less diamonds currently than they had 15 years ago. Where has the proof of success been hidden?
More astounding is how the hypocrisy of some of these leaders is exposed to their subordinates, and the subordinates simply ignore it and continue to follow blindly without seeking an explanation or challenging the leaders once the incidences are disclosed.
When these types of difficulties develop, IBOs should approach their bosses with queries. Furthermore, if the response you receive is silence or deflections, you should rethink your approach.
Amway is a well-known firm that engages in multi-level marketing and has been in business for many years. There are many who have had terrible experiences with the firm, particularly with their upline, despite the fact that Amway has been successful for a large number of people in their lives.
In the context of multi-level marketing (MLM), the individual who was responsible for your recruitment into the organization is referred to as your upline. They are also the ones who are responsible for providing their downline, which is comprised of the individuals that they have recruited, with training, support, and inspiration.
One of the most frequent criticisms leveled against Amway uplines is that they can sometimes behave in a hypocritical manner. The following are a few illustrations of what that might look like:
While practicing something else, you preach another.
One of the most infuriating aspects of having a hypocritical upline is when an upline preaches about the significance of doing particular things but does not actually carry out their own recommendations. For instance, they can advise you to always compile a list of prospects and follow up with them on a consistent basis, despite the fact that they do not engage in these activities themselves. Because of this, it may be difficult to trust their advise or be motivated by them.
putting more emphasis on staffing rather than actual revenue.
Uplines in Amway typically generate the majority of their income from recruiting new people to join the company rather than from the sale of actual products. Although recruitment is a vital component of multi-level marketing (MLM), it must never take precedence over everything else. If your upline is hypocritical, they may put pressure on you to sign up as many people as possible, even if those individuals aren't a good match for the firm or aren't interested in the items. This may result in a significant amount of time and effort being squandered, in addition to damaged relationships with friends and family members.
They will act as though they care about your achievement, but only if it helps them in some way.
In truth, the only thing that matters to many Amway uplines is their personal success, despite the fact that they say they care about their downline's accomplishments. They may offer you guidance that is more beneficial to them than it is to you, or they may exert pressure on you to attend events or purchase things that are beneficial to their own company. This can be discouraging and demoralizing, particularly if you are sincerely looking for direction and assistance at this point in your life.
Providing incentives for unethical activity.
Finally, if your Amway upline is hypocritical, they may urge you to participate in immoral activities in order to increase your income. This could involve making misleading promises to potential recruits, inflating the benefits of the items, or forcing people to buy products even though they do not genuinely desire or need them. It is never worth it in the long term to engage in behavior like this since it can harm your reputation and your sense of integrity.
It is crucial to be aware of the potential hazards and to be vigilant of hypocritical uplines who might not have your best interests in mind if you are participating in Amway or any other multi-level marketing company (MLM). Keep in mind that achieving success in multi-level marketing takes time and effort, as there are no quick fixes or secret formulas. You'll be well on your way to achieving success if you make the development of true relationships with other people, the provision of value, and always acting with integrity your primary focuses.
