Story

This business does not require you to be particularly talented; all you need is a team of 20 exceptional individuals to achieve success in the field.

I was a stay-at-home mom with two young children at the time of our IBO conversion. We made a comfortable livelihood, but I desired to get out of the house more regularly at night to see something different. When the Independent Business Ownership plan was outlined to us, we signed on the dotted line right away. Initially, we did not believe that it would work out for us, but we were nervous and knew that we could not risk anything.

Today, we have made a large number of new acquaintances with whom we would not have otherwise come into contact. We have already seen a great deal of the world, and there will be plenty more to see in the future. As a company, we are extremely proud of our business partners, and we have always preferred to celebrate them rather than to take the stage ourselves on occasion.

One day, I'll live in a gigantic Penthouse in the heart of Munich, complete with beautiful roof decks and enough of space for my friends to spread out. My dream is to see that come to fruition, and I am confident that it will happen.

To be successful in this business, one does not need to be exceptionally talented; rather, one only requires 20 people who are exceptionally talented.

As soon as we were notified of our sponsorship, I was at home with my two small children. Everything went smoothly for me, but I found myself wishing to leave the house in the evenings to see something different. We submitted our application as soon as we received an explanation of the marketing plan we had requested. Initially, we were sceptical that it would work for us, but we were upbeat and aware that we were not taking any risks by participating.

We've made a lot of new friends today, some of whom we would have never met otherwise, thanks to social media. We have already seen a great deal of the world, and there will be plenty more to see in the future. We are quite proud of our business partner, and it has already proven to be more enjoyable for us to emcee our consultants than it has been for us to perform ourselves on stage.

One day, I'll be living in a massive penthouse in the heart of Munich, complete with expansive roof terraces and plenty of space for my friends and family. That is a lifelong dream of mine, and I am confident that it will become a reality one day.

Success Story

When you listen to this set by Semsettin Birkandan, you will think that he is genuine. And it was precisely this mindset that was required to be developed following some initial mistrust in the northern state of big business, which today encompasses Denmark, Germany, and Turkey.

First and foremost, he is studying the current father of two political science students in order to pursue his uncle's diplomatic career. In addition to his schooling, he had his own fast food restaurant. "I'd rather manage a restaurant than go back into the diplomatic service," his uncle declared in 1988 at the time. "Do you prefer to be your own boss?" Semsettin then took a break from his education to concentrate on achieving his freedom. Later, in 1991, he purchased the fitness facility in Kiel, where he had begun with 12 years in the children's karate club and obtained a black belt with 17 years of experience. When it first opened, the fitness centre was a huge success, but when more and more gym chains cropped up, they were unable to compete with his studio's offerings. While accompanying a friend from Istanbul on a carefully planned visit to the Amway firm in 1996, he was not immediately pleased, believing the venture to be a "Tingeltangelgeschäft." Despite this, he accepted an invitation to a networking event in Mannheim, where he met Hans Nusshold and Mitch Sala, his future upline from Australia, who both left a lasting impression on him. During the first three months of his business support, another upline member travelled from Australia to Germany to be with Semsettin specifically for the first three months. After his early success and attainment of the 9 percent threshold, however, he had a period of discouragement during which he considered giving up. However, it was at this precise moment that he received a phone call from Mitch Sala, who encouraged him to continue. Today, he is extremely successful, and he speaks at seminars not only in northern Germany, but also throughout Europe. His international upline, Deirdre and Mitch Sala, as well as his national upline, Eva and Hans Nusshold, need to be thanked for the tremendous assistance they provided him on his journey to success.

"Unconventional success" is a phrase used to describe a successful outcome that was unexpected.

Semsettin operates without the use of e-mail, the Internet, a computer, or a timer. His photographic memory for names, dates, and other crucial information is astounding. Very essential information is provided by e-Amway, which is run by his brother Murat, who is himself a platinum member, and is then printed at Semsettin. He completes all of his tasks in person, by SMS, and over the phone. He also does not have a regular office; instead, he works out of cafes and restaurants in Kiel, where he meets with his business partners and other interested parties to demonstrate the Amway Sales and Marketing Plan and to discuss business concerns.

Like other southerners, Semsettin is also the family life centre, which he appreciates because it allows him to spend more time with his two children, Ayla (16 years) and Kemal (15 years) (14 years). Because, even if he occasionally has a lengthy working day, the average working day for workers has reduced to a few hours in recent years. It was already familiar territory for Ayla and Kemal, who would go on to establish his own Amway firm in the years following.

Semsettin benefited not just from the additional time with his children, but also from the opportunity for personal development that he gained as a result of the experience. In fact, he describes himself as "far more sociable and more balanced," while also being "very caring." As a result, he finds it difficult to refrain from practising the notion of "leading by example." Everyone is capable of achieving their goals if they have the proper commitment and ambition, according to him. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Semsettin has not yet achieved the top of its career ladder, but has already established the parameters of its next objectives.

Amway Price Comparison | Price Comparison With Costco

 Who do you think won?

Amway – Are Their Prices Competitive?

Laughable storey: the other day at work, I received a phone call from a friend who requested that I deliver a gift for him to a mutual friend. A catalogue is accidentally ejected from the bag. Apparently a buddy of mine continues to purchase dish drops from the Amway catalogue, which I found amusing. In any case, I take a look at a few popular items from the catalogue and compare their costs to those offered by Costco. I'm taken aback. I already save $14 by getting Gatorade at Costco instead of quixtar, plus I get 80 ounces more product as a result of doing so.

Are the prices competitive?

XS Sports beverages are a type of sports beverage. 24 16-ounce bottles is $30.00.

Gatorade $15.95 for twenty-four (20oz) bottles (at Costco)

Red Bull 8.4 oz (case of 12) = $23.99 XS energy drinks 8.4 oz (case of 12) = $23.99 (case of 24) $31.30 is the total amount of money you have in your account (at Costco)

The letter X is twice as long as it is wide (31 day supply) Multi-Vitamins for $78.05 (3 month supply) $24.80 is the price of the item (At Costco)

SA8 is equal to 6.6 pounds (100 loads) $22.75

Kirkland is a town in the U.S. state of Washington (5 gallon bucket from Costco) $15.99

Meadowbrook bath tissue (48 rolls) costs $29.99 (plus tax).

The Kirkland bath tissue set contains 36 rolls for $11.99 (Costco)

Menu with a lot of options 12 – 16 oz. Bags of Pasta = $24.99 each

The price for 12 16oz boxes of Golden Grain Pasta is $8.99. (Costco)

Smart menu chunk light tuna in 24 6 oz cans is available for $25.99.

12 6 oz. cans of coral chunk light tuna are available for $5.99. (Costco)

Progresso soups in 19-ounce cans are $19.99 each.

Progresso soups in 19-ounce cans are $11.99 each (Costco)

Question

If Amway charges greater costs because their products are of superior quality, what is the reason for this?

Amway offers Progresso soups in eight 19-ounce cans for $19.99.

Progresso soups in 19-ounce cans are $11.99 each (Costco)

I've often wondered if it isn't the multilevel marketing method, in which upline persons profit from those they recruit and in which you can reach a point where you can retire and be supported by others you recruited, that is the root of Amway's high price tag.

The point is reached when there are so many individuals profiting from others that it is necessary to raise the price of a commodity in order to maintain a viable system of distribution.

The reason so many people are devotees of Costco is because they don't even have to consider the pricing of an item before making their purchase. Costco is almost usually the most affordable option. Their mission is to provide high-quality products at the most competitive costs.

The goal of every Amway representative, on the other hand, is to eventually work his way up the corporate ladder so that he can retire on the backs of the recruits he has helped to bring in.

Surely, retiring on the backs of those you recruit is no different than running a business????? I mean, if you had the option of hiring a lot of lame-brained bloggers to write for you and earn money for you, and they were okay with it because they were earning money as well, you would almost certainly do it. Joe, please don't be a hater.

My hypothesis is that you tried Amway for three days and didn't make any money because you didn't do anything, so you gave up and went home. Of course, if you stop after a short length of time, you won't make any money in the business. You're the type of people that quit whatever you're doing, no matter how difficult the situation is.

To further illustrate, Amway actually decreased their prices, offered new bonuses and incentives, boosted sales from $7 billion to over $8 Billion last year, whereas all of the other companies are laying off employees. No one makes any money, so how can you even claim that?

If you want to make a comparison, you have to compare apples to apples, or in this case, energy drink to energy drink. Regardless of where you purchase, you will always be able to discover greater deals on certain things than you would otherwise. The problem is one of quality. Qator-Aide, you've got to be serious.

Oh, and Costco isn't exactly a household name in most areas. Plus, you'll have to drive there, deal with the crowds, and wait in line...so how much is your time really worth to you? You may save money by purchasing Amway products online. That should be worth quite a deal, unless you are a lazy who has nothing better to do than go to CostCo every week.

Who are you, Anonymous? No, "retiring off the backs of those you recruit" is in no way comparable to running a business of any kind. The above statement is just another dumb "come back" that your upline has fed you, and it's complete nonsense.

Take, for example, my current position (yes, I work in a business). In my company, I do not recruit anyone, and my income is not based on the performance of anyone else in the organisation... The way or what someone else does does not affect my percentage of the prize. I am not obligated to purchase anything from my own firm because they compensate ME.

Is it really so difficult to comprehend this concept? The term "upline" does not exist in a legal non-pyramid firm, and people do not advance up the ranks depending on the number of people they bring into the bottom layer of the pyramid. The truth is that many people advance higher in the corporate ladder by discovering methods to save money and eliminate the lower layers.

I'm not one for debating the merits of various points of view. Everyone has an opinion on anything, and some people are fans of it while others are not. Those that are pro-Amway are looking for folks who are looking for something more in this situation. As for myself, I do it because I want to help as many people as I possibly can by providing them with an opportunity and instructing them on how to use it.

Everyone has the ability to start their own business. I've launched several businesses myself, and I can assure you that none have been as trouble-free to start as my Amway business has been. Even if you started your own business, you would have no idea what to do unless someone was ready to share their knowledge and experiences with you. It's likely that you'd fail. And the truth is that the majority of entrepreneurs and newly formed businesses fail, and the majority of the time, the cause is not a bad product or a bad idea, but rather a lack of business knowledge and experience.

Let's not kid ourselves about this. No matter what we do, we are ALWAYS reliant on the people around us, regardless of our profession. If that's the case, who is going to buy what your firm has to offer? And, if no one purchases your products or services, where will the money to pay your wage come from then?

Rather than knocking people down, I would prefer to work on bringing them up instead. That's me, and you get to decide what you want to do with your time and energy.

Yes...I'm not sure what the discussions are about...whether you participate in Amway or not shouldn't make a difference.

In the event that you despise Amway but spend a significant amount of time criticising it, I believe that you retain a small amount of interest in the firm...

And as for all of the pro-super amway heads...do amway...don't get brainwashed...and as for the rest of us...

Attending a party and squandering $300-$400 dollars is the equivalent as purchasing the fucking cd that they are going to release as a result of it...

What exactly is the distinction? I'm not sure which would be preferable: wasting $300 or $8 dollars??? whatever option you prefer

Even though it is always possible to argue that purchasing from Amway puts money in your pocket, if you can keep the same amount of money by purchasing somewhere else, why waste your time on a pyramid scheme?

Just eight hours ago, I was seriously considering starting my own business through Amway, and I can assure you that I was seriously considering it after attending a meeting last night.

However, I was completely unaware that I would be entering the Amway business world in the process.

To be sure, someone who abuses the system and recruits hundreds of others to work in their downline *might* be able to profit from the residual payments, but that kind of depends on people buying into the scam.

Individuals who are anti-Amway must, without a doubt, have some form of interest in the company if they are to prevent more people from becoming entangled in it. The corporation is going to have a whole crop of "low level" IBO's who will be screwed over when the IBO's above them decide to leave the company at some point in the future, and it may be a long time before this happens for them. People who have invested a significant amount of time and/or money into the system, only to see it collapse as a result of the flaws in the business plan they implemented.

Give it a little time.

I've been offered the opportunity to participate in the pyramid scheme, but I'm not interested in doing so. To read through the comments above and try to figure out what was being said was a difficult experience for everyone involved. I was hopeful that I may be persuaded, but truly, the lack of grammar skills is nauseating to the stomach.

My partner has been active in Amway for the past two years and has amassed thousands of dollars in debt...

YET he insists on continuing in it, that his dreams will be realised, and so on......... I adore my guy, and we have been together for more than 4 years, including one year spent living together. I have to admit that AMWAY does not sit well with me. It has had absolutely no good effect on our relationship. They make it difficult for him to keep his priorities straight. In the event that someone approaches you or your significant other about a "opportunity" with Amway, I strongly advise you to say "no!" As well as any suggestions for me... PLEASE HELP ME! lol According to what I've stated, I adore him and would like to spend the rest of my life with him; but, this firm has gone way too far in terms of not only financial stability, but also keeping his priorities straight. thanks.

Never try to dissuade your spouse from pursuing a career path that they are passionate about, regardless of the field. Your resistance will be the only thing that destroys your relationship, not the third-party corporation to which he is attached.

The anonymous poster who submitted upline/pyramid gibberish should know that my downline earns more money than I do because every percent bracket beginning with the first third has a minimum volume requirement.

When it comes to a pyramid scheme, my downline would have had no chance to make more money than I did because Amway Global has always designed their bonus scale to reflect individual volume plus incentives.

In the past, the only issue Amway had was obnoxious well-off IBOs, on the basis of which people judged Amway. The two have always been parallel and separate from one another in terms of educational tools, and now AmwayGlobal has nipped that in the bud and controls it... thanks to a million lawyers who have figured out the lingo.

The ill-intentioned Diamonds who started the ball rolling in a particular direction are no longer in existence. After 50 years of individuals of character have been established, these little hate writers can go back to whining about nothing.

To draw an example, Amway IBO team distributorships are a LOT like basketball courts in local parks and recreation facilities. There are numerous courts to choose from, but the foundation net and game regulations are the same on all of them... Would you give up playing basketball because of the presence of bullies on the court in the park you visited? Alternatively, would you seek out a court where you were comfortable and felt safe because you have no intention of giving up basketball? In this example, Amway equals basketball.

At the very least, could you make analogies that are apples to apples in nature? Perhaps you could show the viewers of this blog anything else that you are comparing than price? What about the product's quality, its ingredients, its cost-per-use, and its manufacturing methods?

You "compare" Costco synthetic vitamins (which are chemically made) to a product (Double X) that is cultivated, processed, and manufactured using organic methods and ingredients.

You do a great disservice to your readers by implying that all of the things on this list are of equal quality. This is true of several of the products on this list.

Oh, and as for the soup, Amway has never claimed that brand-name products are more cost-effective than generic alternatives. They merely provide it as a convenience to IBOs and clients who are already utilising their web-portal as a purchasing site, according to the company.

Hello, Joe.

I would be delighted to provide an unbiased review for you. It appears to me to be fair and honest. And I would expect that you would do the same for any future blogs.

In contrast to Centrum Vitamins and their ingredients, as well as Nutrilite, I have not done any research on Costco Vitamins and their constituents. Due to the fact that you simply put "Multi Vitamins" above, could you kindly provide me with additional details on which brand you used?

Because I am not a member of Costco, I am hoping that the ingredients can be found on a reputable website. If not, is it possible to utilise Centrum as a model?

You should be aware that I will not be near a computer for the next week, so please bear with me. I hope this is not a problem.

My primary purpose is not to bring anyone or any company into disrepute. I prefer to provide only factual information that can be verified by the person who is reading this, as well as a list of reliable sources for that information, rather than opinions.

Oh, and I don't necessarily believe that we would all prefer a lower price over a higher quality product. In this day and age, I choose to provide what is best for myself and my family rather than what is most convenient for me. I agree with you in the sense that everyone is searching for a good deal, but it is not always just the price that people are seeking for. "You get what you pay for" is a common adage that applies to a variety of situations.

Amway is a piece of BULLSHIT! I find it difficult to comprehend that so many bright individuals can be deceived so readily.

In every case, they will take you to a private presentation where they will make ridiculous claims, such as being partners with Nike, Dell, and AT&T. These objects, on the other hand, are never made available to the public.

I wish a lawyer could explain to me how this type of business is permitted to exist - it appears to me that their primary business is to defraud unsuspecting people into joining a pyramid scheme. It's all a ruse!

Someone commented on this page, saying, "Never try to persuade your spouse out of doing what they want to do, no matter what industry they are in."

I am confident that this individual will let his or her husband to be a drug dealer and his or her wife to be a prostitute if that is what he or she want!

(With a shake of the head*)

I suppose there is nothing that can be done for individuals who have been brainwashed into believing that this is a respectable and noble company. It is neither one nor the other.

Amway has been in the business for more than ten years, and I have other friends who have worked hard for years in the same field. None of them came close to making it even a little bit.

According to the Amway presentation, time is exchanged for money, and by engaging in Amway business, you can fan out or "franchise," resulting in less time spent but more money. Make an attempt at it. It will take more time and effort to generate the franchise, but it will yield less money!

And they argue that they can sell at a low cost because they have eliminated the middlemen! The who are those individuals that are always recruiting new members. It appears to me that middle men are recruiting other middle men.

Perhaps Amway should do away with the middlemen and offer all of its products directly to consumers online! Like Amazon or E-bay, for example.

Those self-made millionaires should be featured in Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal, interviewed for the New York Times, or even appear on prime time television!

There are none!

It's possible that when this becomes a 50 billion dollar disaster in ten years, someone will finally wake up! And then we remember, oh sure, someone had warned us about this previously!

My assessment is based on my attendance at their presentation as well as my participation in other similar programmes.

Nobody will be convinced of anything, and I will not be convinced that this is nothing more than a RACKET!

You can wake up someone who is sleeping, but you cannot wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!

I am a very, very dissatisfied Amway Independent Business Owner. Not only do you have to join before you can look at their items and prices, but the IBO who recruited me lied to me about everything and charged me an additional fee to join his "business motivation club" without warning me that it was not affiliated with Amway at all.

In addition, I have conducted my own price comparisons as well as evaluated a number of Amway items. The Amway goods are of GENERIC QUALITY, and hence must be more expensive than comparable products.

Customers who do not do any research before purchasing are the only way Amway can make money, and this is the only way the company can make money.

FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE AMWAY WEBSITE, THERE IS A CLEARANCE SECTION WITH AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS FOR HALF THEIR REGULAR PRICE. This is bad news for anyone who buys Amway's claims that these "CLEARANCE" pricing are still more expensive than BRAND NAME RETAIL prices!

Additionally, Amway recruiters will deceive you into believing that you will be entitled to "IBO PRICES" on your purchases if you become an IBO. When I discovered that these "IBO PRICES" were approximately $0.50 less expensive, I became really unhappy. Yes, FIFTY CENTS less expensive! With IBO prices, you get absolutely nothing for your money!

SUMMARY: Although Amway is not legally a "scam," it is as near as it gets to being one.

Who said Amway had been in business for ten years? I believe you're referring to 1959? Moreover, the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission have recognised it as the "gold standard" for what a legal business should be, and while lawyers have evaluated the business, there are really a large number of lawyers who are making money through Amway. Is there someone named Paul Miller? lol

As far as pricing goes, yes, Amway goods are more expensive, but they are also of higher quality, so there's that to consider. If you believe it is too expensive, you are under no obligation to purchase it; but, you may be able to find retail consumers if you so desire.

But why wouldn't you shop at a store that (possibly) reimburses you for your purchases? Americans are so preoccupied with'saving money' on a bottle of soap that they forget to spend $15 on their lunch with coworkers the next day. As a result, the money they had just'saved' was pissed away, plus a little more.

Even though some of the products are out of my price range, how many times have you indulged in a Starbucks cup of coffee or eaten out for dinner? Are the beverages at Starbucks more 'expensive' than those at McDonalds, or is Starbucks a scam? Is there any doubt that Starbucks is a successful commercial enterprise, or that you would purchase a Starbucks franchise if the opportunity presented itself (and you had the financial means to do so)?

I don't care what you do, if you're employed, you work for money, and you exchange eight hours of your time for money, you're producing money for the company, and someone is making money off of your productivity; you're the only one who can determine whether or not it's a fair trade-off for everyone involved.

At your place of employment, there is always someone making money off of someone else; typically, the CEO/owner is at the top of the pyramid and receives all of the profits because it is his company. Is it a fair assessment? Yes, of course, because you agreed to a specific level of financial remuneration. What are the chances of you becoming the owner of the business?

Amway/Quixtar is a company where everyone who joins has the same chance; your upline will never, I repeat, will never make more money off of your business than you. As a result of my own financial success, as well as the success of friends of mine, and having seen their pay checks, I am confident in this.

As for your remaining reservations, please provide some trustworthy, verifiable evidence other than the two buddies that "got in, tried it for two months, then resigned" (lol) to back up your claims.

Allow me to share my perspective. I have been a registered Independent Business Owner (IBO) via LTD, a part of AMWAY, for roughly a year. I only purchase items that I enjoy using, and I couldn't agree with the commenter above who expressed concern about the quality of the products. I've done my fair share of research and comparisons, and just looking at the nutrition facts label alone reveals that Amway products are superior to the competition. You can also take advantage of amway's 6-month guarantee, which states that if you don't love your product, whatever it is, you will receive a full refund and can do whatever you want with your product. And while you're at it, compare the cheapest products from Costco to the products from Amway. I guarantee you'll like your Amway product better than your Costco Product. I'd like to see that assurance offered in other places as well. If you didn't use the goods at all, you'd be lucky to get a 30-day refund period. In another vein, if amway were a "scam," I'm confident that the lawyers of companies such as Best Buy, Disney, Nascar, Office Depot, Sears, Dell, and others would have discovered it and avoided doing business with them, which they have done, as evidenced by the amway website's link to partner stores. I'm also confident that none of the companies doing business with amway would want to have their reputation tarnished in any way. And the last time I checked, which was 5 minutes ago, the Better Business Bureau gave amway an A-plus rating. In regards to the comment about IBO costs being just fifty cents cheaper, I'm not sure what product you're referring to, but please let me know what it is. In the event that someone is interested in seeing the pricing difference between customer costs and IBO costs, I will gladly meet with them. It is also stated that Amway is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and that true compensation necessitates legitimate effort on the part of the participant. That Amway did not work for you does not imply that it will not work for someone else in the future. I spend approximately $150 per month on Amway items, and I appreciate those things more than any other product that I have purchased elsewhere. My checks from Amway run between $700 and $800 per month, sometimes more, sometimes less, and I have only one down line. As a result, no one can claim that I'm "earning money off the pyramid below me" because there is no pyramid below me to speak of. All I can say is that we have a large number of clients who prefer our products to those offered by other retailers. It doesn't matter whether I find a product at Costco that I like over my Amway product; guess what?? I'd be interested in purchasing it.

What Is The WWDB Eagle Program?

Let us explore more information about What Is The WWDB Eagle Program? in this post.

A frequent site visitor has inquired about the existence of "Eagle" parameters on several occasions and has expressed scepticism about the existence of such parameters. Now, I'm not sure if WWDB still offers this programme, but I believe they do because I've heard from a few new IBOs who have expressed interest in achieving Eagle status. While Eagle may appear to IBOs as a sort of "winner's club," I believe that the Eagles are mostly responsible for the bulk of the revenue generated by the lines of sponsorship, which is likely why this programme was established in the first place. The following are the general specifics:

• Upline Diamond has received a signed Counsel Sheet.
• Couples can get 300 PV for personal use/retail, while singles can get 200 PV for personal use/retail.
• 6-5-3 (PB/SO/MF) - This is explained further below.
• 6 legs with a PV rating of 100 or higher
• 5 legs are on a waiting list.
• 3 legs are required to attend significant functions.

More information can be found at Amquix info: http://www.amquix.info/pdfs/wwdb eagle.pdf

This is the Eagle programme, by the way. Given the fact that the majority of IBOs are only able to support a single downline, it is clear that Eagle is a relatively elite club. Most families, however, would be unable to transfer that much personal volume for the expense of 300 or 200 PV ($900 or $600), depending on their financial situation. Of course, you can make money selling the product, but my upline placed a greater emphasis on personal use rather than sales.

Along with the PV, you have 5 legs on standby and 3 legs travelling to significant functions (I'm from Hawaii, so this is a big deal for me). The Eagle programme generated a great deal of income for upline, but not always for the IBO who was in charge of the Eagle parameters. It is possible to be an Eagle yet not have 2500 PV on your computer. A framework like this, on the other hand, maybe profitable even if the tools are not present. However, I have never heard of someone being praised for their efforts in selling Amway items.

The eagle programme, on the other hand, is one that is designed to assure optimum profitability for the upline diamond, rather than the IBO. That alone conveys a great deal.

A sample letter to FTC by an WWDB Eagle

Dear Federal Trade Commission, We are Ken and Kim Holland, and we live in Glendale, AZ. For the past four years, my wife and I have worked as Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs) within the WorldWide Dream Builders (WWDB) mentorship programme.

Our ultimate goal was, and continues to be, financial independence (the Diamond level). There are five steps to getting to Diamond. We've completed the first (Eagle) and are on our way to completing the second (Double Eagle). 

All we do is demonstrate to people how they can save money by purchasing through the Quixtar portal, or how they can earn money by demonstrating to others how to do the same thing. It has been extremely beneficial to our family as a result of listening to some of the world's top leaders lecture on how to become better beings during the majority of our business hours. 

In a nutshell, WWDB teaches us how to DO every day with the Quixtar business vehicle what is talked about in churches. This has been a tremendous benefit, perhaps even more significant than the financial compensation. Since the beginning, we have had access to the best WWDB mentors on the planet (at no cost), as well as a 100 percent money-back guarantee on all of our products.

We were promised that if we worked hard and consistently (followed the 9 Core steps), we would be able to reach Diamond status. Nothing but the opportunity to succeed was promised to us. We were supplied with all of the information and assistance that we required in order to make an informed decision, and we have done the same for every prospective client of ours.

Prospects spend approximately $130 to register in Quixtar as an IBO (Independent Business Owner). We do not receive any compensation for enrolling anyone. If they decide to leave, we simply refund their money and wish them well in their future endeavours. 

We have a number of reservations about the new FTC regulations. The most significant are as follows: One of the requirements is a seven-day waiting period. The majority of prospects have already invested far more time than seven days in deciding whether or not to register.

It would be completely illogical to tell them that they must wait another 7 days in order to comply with a government requirement. It would also have a significant negative impact on their ability to sponsor anyone else into their company in the future.

In the end, this would have the effect of greatly reducing the capacity of anyone to make money in the direct sales industry. Prospects who register with us already have 30 days to request a refund of their registration fees.

Furthermore, at the time of registration, individuals are given literature that explicitly specifies that they are under no obligation to buy or do anything if they do not like to do so. Solution: Remove the waiting time, at the very least for chances like Quixtar, where a prospect can get his money back if he is not completely satisfied. Secondly, the necessity to produce references. Prospects that are interested in joining another IBO might choose me if I could give them with such a list. As the one who initiated contact with the prospect, this does not seem fair to me, especially given the fact that I was the one who initiated contact.

For another thing, since most new IBOs are unfamiliar with other IBOs, it is unlikely that they will be able to produce such a reference list for their prospective clients. It would also breach the privacy of the other IBOs, as it would provide strangers (my prospects) with their personal information (names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and so on) on how to contact them. 

Before and after registration, all prospects are provided with several possibilities to network with other Independent Business Owners (IBOs) affiliated with our own line of sponsorship. It is absolutely up to them whether or not they want to do so. Solution - Do away with the necessity to provide references altogether.

In addition, it is necessary to supply a "Litigation List." In this strange requirement, who exactly is the seller that is being referred to? I would be compelled to detail all of the litigation (with or without merit) that has ever been related with Quixtar or other IBO's if the "seller" is an IBO.

Quixtar is owned by Alticor, a company that has been in business for 50 years and already has one of the best reputations on the planet, as you are aware if you have done your research. A corporation like Quixtar, with that kind of long-term reputation in the worldwide business community, should, in my opinion, be sufficient in and of itself. Quixtar IBO's being asked by the FTC to furnish a "Litigation List" would be analogous to someone attempting to save a dying person being required to first provide that dying person with a "Litigation List" for the company/profession that the person represents. If the Federal Trade Commission wishes to impose such requirements, make certain that they are also imposed on every recruiter — and on every corporation in America — before they are permitted to hire anyone. Solution - Remove the obligation for corporations like Alticor/Quixtar to disclose past litigation, at the very least for those companies.

Specific Earnings Disclosures are required under Section 4. As part of our onboarding process, we offer prospects with an FTC-approved document (previously known as the SA-4400, but now known as the Business Overview), which indicates the predicted income of an IBO who consistently performs the needed duties.

The majority of prospects found it to be interesting and extremely detailed at this point. The SA-4400 definition of a "Active IBO" and the "Average monthly gross income" for the same are included in the Overview as well as the FTC phrasing for the same.

It makes no sense to make it even more complicated by including any additional details. People come into business and establish their businesses because they have a dream and a team of mentors who are eager to assist them in achieving that dream.

You suffocate them with as many minor details as you possibly can, and you steal their dream and their team. Solution — Remove the obligation for specific earnings disclosures from the law altogether. Other than the WWDB, require a simple, standard, clearly understood disclosure such as "average monthly gross income for 'active' IBOs" if additional disclosures for Quixtar organizations other than the WWDB are required. In addition, there is a demand for financial justification. Even though this is rare, when someone inquires as to how much I make in the Quixtar business, I inform them of both my own earnings as well as what others make in the Quixtar industry. My affiliation with WWDB has also significantly enhanced my marriage, my association, and myself as a person. It has also helped me become a better citizen of this country through my work with them.

For more over three decades, WWDB has had a divorce rate of less than 2 percent. My company has already assisted a working mother in returning home to raise her own children (this was her dream), which has proven to be invaluable to her, her four children, and my wife and me. It would be intrusive and unethical for the Federal Trade Commission to demand me to give prospects with anything as simple as tax papers to establish my Quixtar revenue.

If I accepted a position with someone, the Federal Trade Commission does not obligate that employer to do the same for me. Employees are just told what they can expect in terms of salary, and that is it. There is no such thing as "financial justification." Solution - Independent business owners (IBOs) should be able to provide proof for any claim they make, but they should not be obligated to do so unless required to do so by the Federal Trade Commission or analogous state authorities as part of an agency inquiry. Sincerely, Ken Holland is a well-known figure in the world of sports.

Harstad, Jim & Julie 

•  The Harstad's are Diamonds based in Minnesota. 
• They qualified Emerald in 1991 and Diamond in 1993.

Harris, Bobby & Priscilla Amway

Harris, Bobby & Priscilla 

 Bobby Harris realised that something needed to change after 16 years of coaching baseball and basketball, as well as teaching physical education in northern Virginia.

 Despite his complete dedication to his work, he was well aware that his profession did not provide a sufficient salary to support his wife and two children.

Even though Priscilla had worked as a secretary, she and Bobby decided it was important for her to focus on parenting their two young sons.

As a result of Bobby working four jobs and being unable to spend much time with his family, they were introduced to a marketing company. "Why not?" they exclaimed upon hearing the news.

Throughout the night, Bobby stayed up reading the two books and listening to the cassette tapes that had been left with them by the person who had informed them of the business.

In the morning of the following day, around 8 a.m., Bobby knocked on his friend's door and said, "We're thrilled about this business... what do we do next?"

"The most important thing was to strictly adhere to the protocol," Bobby explains. "Through the Britt system, we were able to build the qualities that enabled us to achieve Diamond status." As soon as they reached the Ruby level, they purchased a five-bedroom mansion that was completely furnished (with most of the furniture coming from the Personal Shoppers Catalog), as well as new wardrobes, two new cars, a diamond ring and mink coat for Priscilla. 

They were also able to contribute more to charitable organisations. Bobby was 37 years old when he was granted his release in the same year.

Bobby and Priscilla were promoted to the Diamond level in 1985 as a result of their faith, hard work, and answered prayers. Since 1981, this firm has provided them with their sole source of income, and their kids, Bob and Bill, have literally grown up in the business. 

They have reaped the benefits of having a full-time mother and father, and they have taken pleasure in travelling with their parents to numerous exotic countries.

Bobby had a great time volunteering as an assistant basketball coach at Bill's high school, where he was able to help his son and the rest of the squad. 

The two of them were also happy with the opportunity to attend practically all of Bill's football games during his four years as a cornerback and safety at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, where he played cornerback and safety.

They were fortunate to have been able to send Priscilla's parents on a 50th wedding anniversary trip to the Bahamas and Hawaii, which they much enjoyed. It had always been Bobby's father's desire to travel on the Trans-Canadian Railroad across the Canadian Rockies to New England, and he and his wife were treated to this trip.

Today, Bobby and Priscilla have a high quality of life that they credit to their tenacity, hard work, loyalty, and the fact that they place God first in their lives. 

"The possibility presented by this business, we believe, is the ideal way to obtain what one desires in life: time and money, spiritual growth, and a fulfilling family life. 

Because if we can accomplish it, then so can you!"

Harper, Tommie & Lesia Amway

Harper, Tommie & Lesia 

 As soon as we were introduced to this business opportunity, we knew it was something we needed. We were seeking for a means to generate some financial relief at the time. 

As educators in a rural community, we were doing everything we could to help our students succeed, but there just didn't appear to be enough funding. 

Although seeing this business and hearing other people's stories about their freedoms was inspiring, what really drove us was the prospect of having money left over at the end of the month and not having it be because we had forgotten to pay a bill or something like that. 

The travels, the automobiles, and the freedom from work all sounded lovely, but it was impossible for us to imagine such a picture in our minds. 

It would be a dream come true simply to be able to generate some discretionary cash. 

To have enough money to deal with the tiny things that come up in life, the ones that are unforeseen. 

To have enough money to take a weekend trip without blowing the family's budget.

 To live a life in which paying the bills did not result in a family dispute or, at the very least, did not cause your stomach to knot up. 

What we didn't realise was that we had become a part of something much larger than we could have imagined at the time of our initial involvement. 

The two of us became members of a company that hired us as employees and provided us with an endless potential to grow into business owners. 

This organisation supplied us with more than just opportunities; it also provided us with mentorship and training. 

Furthermore, it supplied far more than just enough money to see me through the end of the month, as well.

 It has given us the opportunity to be free of job obligations while also raising our family while travelling with them all over the world. 

In addition to making payments on bills, it allowed people to purchase items such as automobiles on a single payment plan.

 It presented us with a means of achieving debt freedom. 

What it really came down to was that it allowed us to live a life that allowed us to make the decisions that were best for our family. Choices. 

We made decisions on where to live, where to educate our children, and how and where to travel, among other things. 

Choices that are not driven by a wage or employment responsibilities, but rather by the freedom afforded to us by this company's existence.

 In addition, we like the fact that it is not just about ourselves, but that we can demonstrate to others how to be free to make the decisions in their lives that they truly desire.

 Come and spend some time with us.

Hardy, Terral & Margaret Amway

Hardy, Terral & Margaret 

 Margaret Hardy was born in Jamaica, West Indies, and immigrated to the United States when she was 15 years old.

 Terral Hardy, originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, relocated to New York City as a youngster as well. Both families had travelled to the United States in pursuit of better possibilities.

Margaret and Terral met when they were in high school and quickly became inseparable. 

When Terral graduated from high school, he went on to study civil engineering, while Margaret pursued a degree in secretarial studies. 

Living in New York City provided them with several opportunity to "window shop" and fantasise about what their lives may be like.

However, after only a few short years of hard labour, they recognised that their ambitions would never become a reality as long as they continued to work for another person or company. 

When one of Terral's fellow engineers gave him the business plan, he immediately realised that it was actually a miracle and the answer to their prayers. 

Terral Andrew and Quentin Jemal are his two boys, and after 18 months in the firm, he decided to leave his engineering profession to be a full-time parent to his two sons. 

Terral and Margaret have accomplished their dream of being full-time parents, of enjoying nice autos, gorgeous homes, lovely family holidays, and the freedom of not having to work for someone else, thanks to their business.

 "Today, we are more enthusiastic than we have ever been about our business," they both concur.

 Our excellent upline Angelo and Claudia Nardone introduced us to the Britt Diamond team, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be a part of it. We anticipate a promising future with their assistance. 

With a larger vision of what our firm can do to strengthen families, and a commitment to spreading the idea of free capitalism throughout the world, we have set out to make a difference.

Hamilton, Al & Fran Amway

Hamilton, Al & Fran 

 Fran and I were a pretty busy young couple when we first came across the business. 

Two small children, ages three and four, lived with us, and both of us had full-time jobs to support them. Fran was employed as a health-care practitioner, and I was employed by a major automobile manufacturing company.

 I was also studying an engineering degree four nights a week during my spare time. We were living paycheck to paycheck, and there just wasn't enough money to go around.

Fran was completely unaware of our scheduled appointment to view a business opportunity, so when my friend arrived to explain the potential, she became extremely agitated. 

She was adamant about not being involved, but I decided to go ahead with it anyhow.

It was necessary for me to ask a buddy to hold my check until payday in order to register. 

We didn't do anything with the business after joining up until we were faced with a near-tragic situation.

 In the intensive care unit of the hospital, our oldest son came close to death from bronchial pneumonia, and it was then that we decided to bring Fran back home from her job as soon as possible.

We had no idea how to start a business, so we depended on the individual who introduced us to the programme to guide us through the process. 

We were able to match Fran's take-home earnings in seven months because to their expertise and our work ethic.

 Fran retired from her job when she was 27 years old, and I left my job five years later, when I was 33 years old.

In addition to us, our two children are both employed by the company. Eric, our eldest kid, is actually a downline member in his brother Al's corporation.

It's amazing how much has changed since that hot summer day in 1973 when we first came across this establishment. 

As a society, we have advanced tremendously, both monetarily and spiritually. We owe a debt of gratitude to God for all of our numerous benefits. We adore this company and the great people who work there.

Our long-term goal in this firm is to achieve higher levels of success; but, our immediate goal is to focus our efforts on supporting the individuals who work for us.

We have learned how to take our eyes off ourselves and focus on the hopes and goals of others as a result of our work in this industry.

Halter, Jake & Frances Amway

Halter, Jake & Frances 

 After several years of teaching and coaching, Frances and Jake began to have doubts about the direction their financial future might take them. 

The Halter's were unable to find consolation in the fact that they would soon be joining their colleagues in retirement as they rejoiced with their colleagues.

Jake transferred his emphasis to real estate in the hopes of achieving financial independence, while Frances continued to work in the classroom.

 Because to the market's collapse, the Halter family found themselves surviving on the pay of a single teacher for a while.

"It was a difficult moment for us," Frances recalled. Jake didn't hesitate to answer the phone when a buddy of his inquired about the possibility of forming a partnership.

 "When do we get started?" Jake said without hesitation.

Despite the fact that the Halters were newcomers to the area, they adopted the mantra "Have car, will travel" to guide them.

 After only 18 months in business, they were earning the same amount that they had earned as instructors. 

But, maybe most importantly, they were having a good time.

 The Emerald and Diamond jackpots were won after four and a half years in the business and all in the same year.

"I can't help but wonder what our life would have been like if we had both stayed in the teaching profession...

For starters, our teachers' retirement cheques wouldn't even be enough to cover our golfing expenses today."

Grove, Barry & Pat Amway

Grove, Barry & Pat 

 They met while Barry was studying electrical engineering and Pat was pursuing her bachelor's degree in elementary education at the same time. 

Barry eventually went on to medical school, and they were married after only one year of his studies. 

He was board certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners in three separate medical disciplines - Internal Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, and Diagnostic Ultrasound - as well as by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

 It was there that Barry joined the faculty of Vanderbilt University Medical School, where they settled in Nashville, Tennessee.

Barry entered private practise in 1979 after seeing that his income potential as a professor at the university level was limited. Pat had a lot on her plate as a full-time mother and homemaker.

Barry and Pat believed that his medical practise, which earned him a salary in the top 1 percent of the income distribution, would provide them with the means to fulfil their objectives. 

They discovered, however, that they had little time to spend with one other or their children, or to do the things that were truly important to them in their lives. 

Because of the stress and frustration he was experiencing, Barry decided to have bypass surgery at the age of 37.

Pat understood at that point that she had no protection! When Pat's relatives presented them a business plan, he saw a solution and the two of them began their own company. 

Barry did not become enthused until several months later, when, according to him, "It was encouraging to see other young professionals like myself who were not just excellent in their industries, but who were also financially self-sufficient and able to manage their time.

 I also discovered a community of people that shared my beliefs, were honest and trustworthy, believed in the power of free business, and with whom I could be happy to be associated.

 We made the decision to proceed and were able to achieve the Platinum level in 12 months."

Barry was able to reduce his medical practise to a part-time basis as a result of reaching the Sapphire level. 

They made the decision to join Emerald in 1989, and Barry was able to completely retire from his medical practise in 1993, achieving the financial independence and personal freedom that they had hoped to achieve. 

As Barry explains, "Freedom is the capacity to govern your time, allowing you to live life as you like and do the things that are essential to you."

Our children, Julie (who is married) and Randy (who is self-employed), are among the things we look forward to doing together.

 Barry is also a licenced amateur radio operator and a collector of Lionel electric trains. The activities that Pat enjoys include reading, shopping, and decorating their home.

It was necessary for Barry to endure shoulder surgery and a second bypass operation during their Diamond qualification year. 

According to Pat, "we had amazing support from our business team, as well as from the many friends we have made through this business," and as a result, the company's revenue increased.

As Diamonds, their reward is the time, money, and independence to live life as they wish to live it, with friends, freedom, security, and peace of mind.

 "We believe that this business is the best vocation we could have chosen for ourselves, as well as the most useful activity we could do with our free time. 

Ultimately, we want to assist as many people as possible in realising the financial success and personal freedom that this business provides.

 Our vision is continually evolving, and we can confidently state that the best is yet to be discovered."

Griffing, Joel & Ardith Amway

Griffing, Joel & Ardith 

 In the eyes of Joel and Ardith Griffing, their 25 years in business have been a journey filled with freedom and versatility. 

For Joel, a former mathematics teacher and basketball coach, it meant breaking free from a financial cycle that was no longer serving him and entering a performance-based programme that was more in line with his competitive nature.

 "Everybody can perceive that there is a desired quality of life in which to raise a family.

 It's simply a matter of getting one's hands on a financial vehicle that pays well enough and is secure enough to deserve one's time and effort being put into it.

Joel is an avid golfer and sportsman who now has the time and resources to indulge in these pursuits while also earning enough money to do so in style.

 Having a business has allowed Ardith, a former music and primary school teacher, to be a full-time mother to their two children, Quinn and Josh, from day one.

 She has also been involved in the development and preservation of the family's financial security, which she values.

"Living life's events with our children on a day-to-day basis has been a wonderful and irreplaceable adventure! It only happens once in a lifetime, and I'm grateful to have been able to accompany them on their journey." 

Ardith has also had the opportunity to pursue her passion for singing, which she has done in church and in community musicals.

It seems as though the Griffing family is always on the go. 

There's always skiing or boating or school functions or another trip to a favourite vacation spot or church or charitable events or "just one more" golf tournament, all mixed in with business meetings and time spent with great friends from their company.

The foundation of all of this is their unwavering faith in God, which helps them to retain balance and keep things in appropriate perspective.

 "Without this business, we'd still be living life like 'Second-Hand Rose,' exhausted and with little faith that things will ever change for the better. Every day, we give thanks to God."

Griffin, Len & Beatrix Amway

 The Griffens were involved with InterNET Services for at least 15 years before transferring to TEAM.

Gilmour, Greg & Kathy Amway

Gilmour, Greg & Kathy 

 With their home base in Wisconsin, the Gilmours qualified as Diamonds in 1994. 

Their upline is Terry Felber, who is a Double Diamond. 

In an interview with Mike Popovich, Greg Gilmour expresses gratitude for his contributions to the company. 

Mike would not have developed a serious interest in Quixtar if it hadn't been for Greg Gilmour's magnetism on stage during a performance.

They have one downline, Emerald, John and Deanna Gilmour, who are also in the business.
