I recently came across a statement regarding Amway on another blog and thought it was interesting. When it comes to evaluating the material that is offered, the individual points out that one's credentials must be taken into consideration. I will say that displaying me a sports car or a high-end outfit does not imply financial success in my estimation. There is a genuine sense of trust among Amway leaders, and some of them boast about how they buy items in cash and may even show you images of sports vehicles and homes. Consider the following scenario: you go to the bank and attempt to obtain a loan. When a loan officer asks for collateral, offer him or her images of a sports car and a mansion as examples. See how far you can get with that. However, Amway diamonds employ this very strategy as a method of displaying their "lifestyle," and it is possible that they are sowing seeds in rental cars and residences that they do not own.
This is an ironic subject for me because, to my knowledge, not a single upline leader has ever provided verifiable financial qualifications regarding themselves. The audience has a preconceived notion that the individual on stage possesses particular qualifications, but are these assumptions correct? I will say that, for example, if someone is wearing a diamond pin, it is likely that this person has at least achieved the diamond level as recognised by Amway; however, the level may not be current, and the level does not indicate the type of income this person earns from Amway, as does the diamond level. In spite of the fact that I had 4000 PV at one point in my Amway career, Joecool is criticised for being out of date.
Many people believe that the diamonds purchase homes and automobiles with cash because they state that they do so. Additionally, they may claim that they wake up at noon every day and spend the rest of the day engaging in leisure activities as the money flows in. Several new IBOs have informed me that their upline earns significantly more money by taking a piss first thing in the morning than a critic makes in a full year at a job. When several critics offered to take that bet, the IBO went into a state of silence.
However, the truth of the situation is that, as far as I am aware, only former diamonds have come forward to disclose their Amway earnings. They were the only ones who were able to speak openly about their qualifications and accomplishments. Even those who are critical of Amway are often willing to speak candidly about their own experiences and levels of success in the company. In the REAL world of business, displaying business tax returns and certificates is a standard element of the process of doing business. It appears that the provision of credentials and financial statements is a closely guarded secret solely within the Amway organisation. Obviously, IBOs and upline leaders should not share their financial information with the entire world, but prospects and some downline members should be able to see how their upline is doing financially, especially if that information is used to justify the purchase of standing orders and function tickets. And I'm only talking about business income and expenses (Amway and Tools), not income and expenses from other personal sources. If someone tells you that tools are the key to success, you have the right to inquire as to what kind of success they are referring to in the first place. A photograph of someone's check does not convey the full storey. The image of a mansion doesn't help matters much, though. A schedule C tax return would include information on a person's business revenue as well as their business costs, among other things. That is the most accurate sign of what is taking place. If there is a lack of openness, this should raise warning flags for you.
I feel that IBOs and upline leaders do not release that knowledge because it would be detrimental to their own interests if they did share it. If it were true, they would almost certainly publish it for free, just as they do when they hand out copies of checks. This is something that IBOs and prospects should take to heart and ask their uplines the difficult questions. In addition, a lack of responses to your questions should send you in the opposite direction.
