What about franchises, do you think? Isn't that all it is, except it's done online instead of in a brick and mortar store?
Even if you point out that Independent Business Owners (IBOs) can be dismissed, couldn't McDonald's "fire" one of their franchise owners if they began selling faulty products? It is a fundamental principle.It was left by an anonymous ambot on my post asking where else but in Amway can you be fired from your own business that these words of wisdom were left. The worst thing that could have happened to a more deserving pile of shit than Platinum! I always appreciate it when ambots pop by and say something so fucking ridiculous that you have to put it in a different thread so that everyone can laugh at it.
If this guy has been smoking anything amusing, or if he's simply been screwed in the brain, I'm not sure
what to make of him!
Do you think he's serious in comparing Amway to McDonald's? That is the most obvious indication that he is suffering from a major medical condition.
Two enterprises that are diametrically opposed. One is in the restaurant sector, where he sells fast food at a lesser price than he would charge in a sit-down restaurant. The other is in the business of recruiting commissioned salespeople to offer pricey crappy things on commission basis.
Ambot, who has been fucked in the mind, should delve a little deeper into the McDonald's business plan. It should be noted that not all of the restaurants in this network are franchises. Some are owned by the company's headquarters, while others are not. Franchises are sold to restaurant owners in locations where McDonalds has conducted a market analysis to assure that they will continue to be lucrative, but not necessarily in locations where the corporate headquarters want to have a presence. For example, just because a corporation such as McDonald's has a network of sites or branches does not always imply that they are all franchises.
McDonald's does not offer an internet store where customers may purchase their fast food. You can only image what it would be like to receive something in the mail. Burgers and fries that were too cold, as well as melting ice cream.
Many businesses with numerous locations or branches also operate an online business, allowing clients to shop online rather than visiting the store and have their products shipped to them as a result of their purchase. Wal-Mart and other big-box retailers come to mind as examples.
To my knowledge, Amway does not have any franchise opportunities. They have facilities and warehouses in areas other than their headquarters in Michigan, but they do not have any franchise locations. After all, who would want one? The majority of people would prefer to own a franchise of something that is well-known and has strong sales, in other words, something that provides things that people want to buy at a reasonable price. Amway does not meet this criterion!
And here's the thing about any firm that is part of a franchise system: Before establishing a new location, they conduct market research. They make certain that the consumer base will be available. They avoid opening a site that is too near to another in their chain in order to avoid oversaturating a market.
Even organisations with sales representatives who go out to businesses to offer their products or services do not have territories that overlap with the salespeople's areas. They each have a certain territory to cover.
What about Amway, for example? Is it the responsibility of head office to ensure that their commissioned salesmen are not overlapping in any areas? No way in hell! This is because Amway is well aware that their commissioned salesmen are not generating revenue from other sources. Rather than becoming Amway clients, their commissioned salespeople pose as such, purchasing Amway products while claiming to be doing so from their own store. Ambots who have been brainwashed! Amway has oversaturated the market with commissioned salespeople, causing it to become unprofitable. There isn't enough business to go around for everybody. Is it possible that this is related to the sale of pricey bad products? Customers are extremely difficult to come by, and they are duped into believing they are paying more money for higher-quality products when this is all a fraud. When compared to other items available on the market, Amway's products are generic to poor in quality. Overpriced rip-off!
Regarding franchises, and in keeping with what the jerk ambot mentioned, does anyone know of an online-only firm that offers franchise opportunities? Wouldn't that be fucking stupid? As if oversaturating a market when just one site is required were an example. All sales can be conducted through a single website if the firm is entirely online, and all profits can be kept in one place. There is no need to franchise online enterprises or to spread it beyond the country. Take, for example, Amazon, which is arguably the most successful internet firm in the world. In 2013, sales totaled $74 billion. Amazon does not have any franchises. They have offices and warehouses in a variety of locations, however those are not franchise locations.
The dumb ass comment the Amway ambot left is fairly typical of what I've heard from Amway cult leaders in the past few years. Whenever someone has a different opinion the Amway cult leader has to launch some distraction tactic and try to blind the opposing view with their fucked up bullshit.
Amway is being compared to a few McDonald's restaurants. You've got to be fucking kidding me, right? The only thing the two have in common is some lame Amway reason to fake and divert someone's attention away from discovering out what is really going on.
Distributors of Amway Corporation, a multi-level marketing (MLM) corporation that offers health, beauty, and home care goods, are known as Amway Ambots. Amway Corporation was founded in 1958. It is common practice for Amway Ambots to be incentivized to describe their connection with Amway as a "business opportunity" and to refer to themselves as "independent business owners" or "IBOs." Even going so far as to assert that they are an Amway franchise, some Ambots make their case.
The assertion that Amway Ambots are a franchise is, at best, inaccurate and, at worst, intentionally dishonest because there are numerous key differences between a franchise and a multi-level marketing opportunity (MLM).
A franchise is a specific kind of business model in which the buyer of the franchise (whether it be an individual or a corporation) makes a payment to the franchisor (the company that is selling the franchise) in exchange for the right to use the franchisor's name, branding, and business systems. In return for the franchisee's payment, the franchisor will often offer support in the form of training, guidance, and ongoing help.
On the other hand, multi-level marketing businesses such as Amway do not include the same kind of licensing or contractual relationships that are involved in operating a franchise. Instead, Ambots sign up to become independent distributors of Amway products and earn commissions not only on the products they sell but also on the sales produced by those they attract into the MLM system and help them become successful.
One of the most significant distinctions between a franchise and a multi-level marketing (MLM) business model is the degree to which the parent firm is involved in the daily business activities of its independent distributors. The franchisor often exerts a large amount of influence over the way in which the franchisee runs their business, including the requirements for branding, marketing, pricing, and product selection. This is the case in the context of a franchise. Amway Ambots, on the other hand, have a great deal of leeway in running their businesses according to their own preferences, so long as they follow the rules and restrictions that Amway has outlined for them.
The amount of initial capital that is necessary to get started in a multi-level marketing business (MLM) is one of the key distinctions between franchises and MLMs. A considerable initial investment is typically required in order to purchase a franchise. This initial investment is intended to cover the costs of training, equipment, and various other startup fees. On the other hand, Amway Ambots have the ability to join up to become distributors for a relatively cheap cost; however, they are frequently encouraged to purchase big quantities of inventory and spend significant amounts of time and money on recruiting new distributors.
In spite of these distinctions, some Amway Ambots make the claim that they are a franchise in an effort to depict their participation in Amway as a genuine and well-established business opportunity. This claim may be misleading or deceptive since it implies a level of support and structure that is not present in the Amway MLM system. Specifically, the claim suggests that Amway's distributors receive training and ongoing assistance.
In conclusion, Amway Ambots may call themselves "independent business owners," but it is essential to understand that they are not a franchise and do not have the same degree of support, control, or investment requirements that a franchise has. Amway Ambots are not required to make the same level of financial investment as a franchise. Any person who is thinking about being involved in the Amway multi-level marketing system should carefully analyze the risks as well as the potential rewards, and they should view any claims that Amway is a franchise with a skeptical mindset.
