In the event that you are an IBO or if you are being recruited to be an IBO, it is almost certain that you are being recruited by an IBO as part of a "system." Now, the system is likely to be known by a number of other names, including Network 21, WWDB, BWW, LTD, and others. The most, if not all, of these organisations or systems will assert that they are the best, the fastest growing, or the most profitable. Now we know that they can't all be the fastest growing or whatever they claim to be. Most, if not all, of these systems will encourage their independent business owners to join their system. Websites, voicemail, books, cds/audios, standing order cds, seminars, and possibly additional workshops are all common components of the system. Although the amount of pressure to participate varies from group to group, it appears that the more you participate, the greater the amount of pressure is placed on you. Like the frog analogy, but with a different outcome.
This entire system is comprised of for-profit corporations, and the revenues are generally distributed to the diamonds and higher pins who own and operate these corporations. It is from the selling of these tools that certain system diamonds derive a large portion of their money. Now, these system promoters may tell you that the system is essential to your success, and some may even assert that you will be unable to succeed unless you use their system. These system firms, on the other hand, earn from selling you these materials whether or not you as an IBO profit from them. These techniques make money even if you put in a lot of effort yet still end up broke. While the system's proprietors may assert that the system is responsible for all of the system's successes, the same may be said for an even greater number of system failures. It is possible that the success rate of IBOs who put up the greatest amount of effort will be as low as 1 percent or lower. This is an easy conclusion to reach because many, if not the majority, of platinum firms will have 100 or more independent business owners (IBOs). According to legend, the platinum level is where an IBO either breaks even or begins to produce a modest profit. Include those that come and leave (exit) from the business and it is easy to conclude that the great majority of IBOs either make nothing or lose money.
When system expenses are taken into consideration, the number of IBOs who lose money increases dramatically. In the 6-4-2 plan or whatever version your group employs, the lower levels of IBOs will earn less than $50 in a month, with the majority of IBOs earning less than $20 in a monthly period. These independent business owners will not even be able to cover the expense of their voicemail. If an IBO participates in all of the system tools, such as functions, it is very certain that these IBOs will experience a financial loss as a result of the system expenses.
My judgement is that the system just does not function properly. There is no independent documentation that indicates that the system is functional. Sure, there may be some skewed testimonies, but that would most likely be the extent of the problem. Those who are involved in the business can easily determine whether the system is functioning because new platinums, emeralds, and diamonds would be appearing on a regular basis, but this is not the case. It appears that Amway is falling in the United States, and any new successes (pins) will simply be replacing past pins who have either dropped out of qualifying or left the company. The system does not function properly. However, I came to the conclusion that nearly all of these financial systems, even those promoted by real estate experts such as Robert Kiyosaki, do not work. It is for this reason that when they offer success testimonies, they normally include a disclaimer that says "unique experience."
Successfulness appears to be an uncommon occurrence in the most, if not all of these systems, including those operated by Amway. What's my conclusion? The system is in shambles. The system does not function properly. Some people can achieve success despite the system, but it is uncommon that they do so as a result of the system.
