The purpose of this blog article is to demonstrate that the Amway opportunity is simply not sustainable, and that the market in North America is virtually saturated in its current form. Even though I am aware that Amway just released some propaganda claiming that the average IBO income was increasing, I was not provided with a detailed explanation of how the figures were obtained. To be sure, it's possible that they've just excluded more independent business owners by labelling them "inactive," so increasing the "average" income. Everyone laughs when they hear the phrase Amway, and I get a lot of odd stares whenever I say it. I understand that Amway supporters will argue that the company is not saturated, but in reality, you are not going to have people lining up to become members. Because of this, innumerable accounts of people being misled or duped into attending recruitment meetings have been documented.
As a result, when looking at the standard 6-4-2 plan, there are 79 IBOs, with one of them becoming a platinum. And that is under the liberal premise that each of these IBOs moves 100 PV on a consistent basis throughout the month. When you take into consideration those who do little or nothing, as well as those that order just occasionally, it is reasonable to estimate that a platinum firm will typically have well over 100 downline IBOs. To put it another way: What would happen if every single person on the face of the planet had an epiphany and wanted to join Amway?
The structure of the majority of platinum firms, on the other hand, will remain unchanged. In each platinum group, you will almost certainly have more than 100 people in your downline. The platinum will gain some money, but the majority of the downline, particularly those who are on the system of cds and functions, will suffer a financial loss. At any one point in time, less than one percent of the IBO population may practically be classified as a platinum. Regardless of whether or not the entire world joins Amway, there will always be less than one percent of the IBO population that are at the platinum level. That is how the system is now configured. The only exceptions to this rule would be IBOs who sell enough PV to make up for a lack of downline in order to qualify for the exception. However, there is plenty of testimony and data to suggest that many IBOs just self-consume their PV since they are unable or unable to sell. Some AMO (Away Motivational Organizations) groups train IBOs to almost solely eat their own volume, which they call "self consumption." WWDB, my previous LOS, did not place a strong emphasis on selling, but rather on recruitment. And, after all, why not? The reality is that you cannot become an emerald or a diamond without having a large number of downlines.
So even if everyone on the planet joined Amway, there would still be less than 1 percent of IBOs at the platinum level, and it is extremely possible that less than 1 percent of IBOs would be making a net profit, according to the company. Proponents contend that many IBOs sign up and do nothing, or that they sign up and don't place any orders for the company's products. What's the big deal? Even if you didn't include them in the averages, they are still IBOs in your eyes. It is explained above why even under the best-case scenario, the success rate (platinum) will not be much more than a fraction of 1 percent, based on the information provided.
Are you still debating whether or not to join Amway? Do your study, and you might want to consider the information in this article.
