When it comes to advertising Amway, one of the things that promoters and apologists prefer to do is depict the best case scenario. The desire to demonstrate the best case scenario is understandable, and I have no problem with a promoter doing so. However, in my informed view, it is important to determine whether the best case scenario is being displayed with deception or lies. As an example, when other "financial" gurus air their infomercials, they include a disclaimer explaining that each success storey represents a "one-of-a-kind" experience. Many Amway promoters, it appears, are doing the reverse, creating the impression that financial success in Amway is the rule rather than the exception. In the meanwhile, what is the more common or likely experience for an IBO?
I'm not going to get into the IBOs who sign up and then do nothing, even though this may be a typical occurrence. (This is due to the fact that there may be other factors at play, such as dishonesty or harrassment on the part of the recruiters.)
I believe that many will see the plan, which is often the 6-4-2 plan, which is intended to demonstrate how you may become a platinum member. According to the speaker, you only need six of these groups to become a diamond, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars and being able to walk the beaches of every continent.
For many, the reality is that they join up with a lot of excitement, assuming that at the very least some of their friends and family will agree that this is a feasible option. As a result, the new IBO will purchase or consume 100 PV, and he or she may attempt to sell a few items. Eventually, this same IBO will talk to his or her family and friends, and many of their friends and family members will show sour faces because they have already had a questionable or negative experience with an Amway IBO, or they know someone who has had a questionable or negative experience with an Amway IBO. I, too, was duped into attending a meeting at one point. They may pay attention to the standing orders and attend meetings with the goal of achieving success in accordance with the plan.
However, after a few months, few individuals are interested in registering, and even fewer are interested in purchasing the products, and it becomes increasingly difficult to develop contacts and convince new people to support the plan. After a while, the expenses start to build up. It is possible that you have products such as laundry detergent or LOC that you do not need to replace, but because you have met your de facto 100 PV requirement, you end yourself purchasing additional items in order to meet the all-important 3 percent bonus bracket. When you have amassed an inventory of household products and things that you had never used before joining Amway, you will find that your bank account is diminishing as the products, as well as the associated fees such as voicemail and other features, begin to accumulate.
Eventually, you resigned, in some situations with the now-former IBO feeling humiliated or guilty that they had even gotten involved in the first place. They vanish without a trace, and none of their old "lifelong" IBO buddies seem to notice. They will not bother to express their dissatisfaction with Amway, but they may feel the urge to express their dissatisfaction if the company is mentioned again.
Ultimately, the unpleasant experience and financial losses were likely caused by an AMO such as Network21, WWDB or BWW, but the association of a terrible experience with Amway is likely to be established in the future. This is a more likely scenario than someone quitting their work to travel the world's beaches.
The experience of becoming an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances and efforts. However, there are some common themes and likely experiences that many Amway IBOs go through.
First, becoming an Amway IBO usually involves attending a recruitment event or being approached by someone who is already a part of the company. At these events, potential IBOs are often sold on the promise of financial freedom and the ability to work for themselves. They may hear stories of successful IBOs who have made millions of dollars and be presented with flashy presentations that emphasize the company's reputation and prestige.
If they choose to join, new IBOs are typically required to purchase a starter kit and sign up for ongoing training and support. This may include attending meetings and conferences, as well as purchasing products to sell or use themselves. Some IBOs may also be encouraged to recruit others to join the business, as this is seen as a way to increase their income potential.
Initially, new IBOs may be excited and enthusiastic about the potential of their new business. They may spend time networking and connecting with other IBOs, attending trainings and events, and building their own online presence to promote the products they are selling.
However, as time goes on, some IBOs may begin to feel disillusioned with the process. They may find it difficult to recruit new members or sell products, or they may struggle to balance the demands of building a business with their other commitments and responsibilities. Some IBOs may also become frustrated with the high costs associated with running their business, such as the cost of attending events and purchasing products.
Additionally, some IBOs may experience pressure from their upline or team to continue investing time and money in the business, even if they are not seeing results. This can create a sense of guilt or obligation, and some IBOs may feel like they have no choice but to continue with the business even if they are not enjoying it or seeing success.
Overall, a likely Amway experience involves a combination of excitement, hard work, and potential disappointment. While some IBOs may see quick success and growth, most will need to put in months or even years of effort before seeing significant results. Those who are able to remain committed, seek out support, and maintain a positive mindset are more likely to see success over the long term. However, success in Amway, like any business, is never guaranteed, and it is important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits before deciding to become an IBO.
