One of the arguments advanced by many Amway proponents is that those who do not achieve did not work hard enough or did not put forth enough efforts. As much as I believe that one must work hard in order to achieve in many activities, I will also express my educated opinion that working hard and success in Amway are not always related. I mention this because I've heard so many testimony from people who worked extremely hard in the Amway business but saw little or no benefits as a consequence of their efforts. My prior sponsor was a worker, and he hasn't progressed much beyond the level of Gold Direct in the nearly two decades since we parted ways. Indeed, according to the latest information I've received, his company has essentially gone into disarray.
A contributing factor to the problem is that many uplines place a strong emphasis on recruitment, despite the fact that there is no direct remuneration for doing so. In reality, recruiting downline frequently entails significant expenses such as petrol, babysitters, and the false assumption that an IBO must attend seminars and receive standing orders in order to learn how to do so. Apart from that, Amway's reputation in the United States is tainted, making it difficult to acquire new downline members. The vast majority of IBOs never sponsor even a single downline.
Finding clients to purchase your products is a vital aspect of any business's success. Because IBOs already spend a significant portion of their time recruiting rather than selling, they are already at a competitive disadvantage when compared to many other firms. When you factor in the seemingly incompetitive pricing of Amway and Amway partner store products, you have still another advantage that IBOs have over the majority of other businesses. The presence of IBOs who sell rather than recruit would be far more widespread if the items and services offered were of higher quality and value. Aside from that, the Amway compensation scheme frequently rewards uplines rather than the independent business owners (IBOs) who are actually responsible for moving the volume.
In addition, I believe that the Amway business model is out of date and ineffective. You may have a website to sell your products, but your restrictions greatly restrict the capacity of an IBO to attract visitors to their website, making it difficult for them to succeed. Although the "person to person touch" may sound beautiful and flowery, it is the most inefficient method of generating sales results. It is for this reason why companies spend millions of dollars to promote during the Super Bowl: you may have a hundred million people viewing your advertisement, which can increase your brand recognition and sales.
While I believe that working hard is essential to achieving success in any endeavour, I do not feel that there is a legitimate correlation between working hard and success in the Amway company for the reasons I have detailed in this essay.
