In my opinion, one of the weaknesses of the Amway compensation plan is that the newest IBO, who may also be the one who puts in the most "Work," receives the smallest compensation. Amway reinvests approximately 30% of their profits back into the company in the form of bonuses. 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 work. Is that really fair, and is it a level playing field for all participants? It goes without saying that your upline will teach you to believe that the field is level because that is what they want you to believe, and they will take the lion's share of your bonus.
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. You must pay for CDs, voicemail, books, and other features. You are responsible for any assistance you receive from that diamond. While these expenses may not seem excessive at first glance, they can add up to a significant sum of money over time.
Numerous uplines will speak of the importance of having dreams and achieving those dreams. However, if an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) takes a step back and considers his or her actions, it is clear that you are fulfilling the dreams of 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 part of the system, you are also paying upline in the form of tool purchases in exchange for the privilege of giving them bonus payments when you make product purchases. In addition, your diamonds and "big pins" generate a significant amount of money through the use of tools and functions.
It is for this reason that your upline diamonds can parade around on stage in designer suits and show you their expensive cars, mansions, and other luxuries, among other things. This is due to the fact that they are profiting from your efforts. You are assisting them in realising their ambitions. Your commitment to moving 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 take advantage of, unless you are constantly adding members to your group, you will never be able to achieve the kinds of dreams that uplines speak of. In the meantime, however, you are undoubtedly assisting someone higher up the chain of command in the achievement of their goals by attending each and every function. Ironically, even if your upline leaders are unaware of your personal circumstances, they will tell you to never give up your position. Why would someone be told to never quit if they aren't making a net profit and there is little chance that they will ever turn a profit begs the question.
Here's a challenge for IBOs and/or prospects who are interested in becoming part of the Amway organisation. One hundred photovoltaic panels will cost you approximately $300 per month, and dedication to the tools system will cost you approximately $200 to $300 per month on average. Are there any situations in which it would be better 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? If you have read all of the information on this blog and still decide to participate, best of luck to you; however, keep in mind the following: With your participation, whose hopes and dreams are being realised? Which is more important, yours or your upline?
