In my opinion, lying is a necessary talent for achieving success in the Amway business. Before you go completely insane and dismiss what I'm saying, allow me to explain why.
When I worked as an IBO, diamonds told blatantly falsehoods (I was an IBO in 1997). There were many differences between then and now in terms of internet accessibility, and searching for information was a different effort than it is now with search engines like Google or Yahoo. As a result, the WWDB diamonds took to the stage and swore that no one made a cent off of tools and functions in the world. In addition, we were informed that the World Wide Development Board was a non-profit organisation, and that any earnings were merely re-invested back into the company to minimise the cost of future events and functions (which never happened). Without easy access to information, the majority of the audience took the jewels at face value. We had no reason to be suspicious because they "told us" that they were looking out for our best interests.
Those deceptions were only the tip of the iceberg, it appears. Many lies were told by the jewels. They more than likely lied about how much money they earned through Amway, and I'm confident that some of them lied about having paid for everything they own with cash as well. They lied about WWDB having a divorce rate that is virtually non-existent when compared to the rest of the globe. I'm confident that they exaggerated the "trappings" of riches that they claimed to possess. In the past, a few diamonds have experienced financial difficulties like as home foreclosures, and a well-known WWDB triple diamond filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection about 2009 or so. When their financial records became public, we were able to see that they had debt, unpaid taxes, and other problems, despite the fact that they appeared to be affluent beyond our wildest expectations. That was not the case.
The diamonds also instructed the troops to lie and be deceitful about Amway in order to persuade people to see the plan or to entice them to sign up for the business opportunity. My most recent blog post was themed "fake it until you make it," and it discussed how upline teaches lies and deception to downline in order to assist downline in recruiting future IBOs. If the diamonds lie and teach lies in order to promote Amway, I come to the conclusion that lying is essential in order to be successful in the Amway business model. Apparently, it was a characteristic shared by the gems I had seen. However, even after I left Amway, I continued to hear several lies from independent business owners (IBOs) claiming that "Quixtar" had nothing to do with Amway, when in fact Quixtar was simply a new name for Amway North America. Consider the possibility of a prospect questioning why someone is selling Amway items while Quixtar has nothing to do with Amway.
As a result, I have come to the opinion that lying is indeed required for Amway success. When it comes to liars, the better and more convincing you are, the more likely you are to attract downline and advance in the Amway compensation plan. To prove my point, name one person who has achieved extraordinary success by being upfront and honest about Amway and any associated inquiries, like as how much they actually make in Amway and how much they make from tools. You'll hear crickets more often than you'll hear responses.
