Amway Works - If You Work It?

 If you work the Amway business, it will work for you! That's what a lot of Amway fans will say. That is not the case, as I will explain further in this essay. Many IBOs who claim that their business works are usually brand new and unable to provide any proof of their claims, other...

The Amway Illusion?

 One of the many things my upline instilled in us was the importance of having faith in our business and in our upline. That we needed to have faith in our ability to succeed. Even if they are still making their way up the ranks in the firm, IBOs are taught to act successful. It's why...

Amway IBOs Talk A Good Game?

 I've been blogging for several years and have noticed that IBOs talk a nice game about retailing, sponsoring, and conducting Amway business activities. They'll instruct you to get 20 clients, sponsor 6 frontline, exhibit a variety of programmes and set up certain follow-ups with contacts,...

Amway IBOs Need A Business Mentality?

 One of the most common catchphrases used by IBOs is that you need a "business mentality." Those of us with a "employee attitude" aren't going to cut it in Amway. This strikes me as ironic, given that the vast majority of Amway IBOs work. They require this work in order to fund their...

The Amway Compensation Plan?

 The unjust multi-tiered compensation model is one of the main reasons why I believe Amway is not a viable investment. I've heard Amway pays its IBOs around 32-33%, however I think it's unfair because you get paid more for sponsoring people that move volume than you do for actually...

Amway Broke Losers?

 Amway's customer service is one area for which I appreciate them. When I called the corporation as an IBO to place an order or for other reasons, the staff was always polite and helpful. IBOs, on the other hand, do not appear to place the same emphasis on potential customers. When...

Amway And Tool Money?

 I've been seeing some continuous disputes regarding whether higher pins' system income exceeds their Amway bonuses. I believe that methods like BWW, WWDB, N21, and LTD make more money for upline than selling Amway products. However, how the system's income is distributed remains a...

What's It Like To Be An IBO?

 I'm sending this mail to remind IBOs that they need to be aware of their current business situation. What I mean is that it's typical for new IBOs to buy and sell their 100 PV, as well as listen to some CDs. If you generally followed your sponsor's or upline's advice, you'll reach...

IBOs Don't Work Hard Enough?

 IBOs are taught to blame themselves for not working the business hard enough or doing things correctly, even if they follow upline's instructions to the letter. Nothing could be further from the truth in this case. It's only that uplines want to be free of blame, so they tell their...

IBOs Are Altruistic?

 When I was an IBO, I recall the speaker at numerous sessions talking about how IBOs assist individuals by bringing them into the business or at the very least presenting them the plan. Looking back, I'm not sure how getting someone into a firm where they're almost certain to lose money...

Getting Rich In Amway And Walking The Beaches?

 So many Independent Business Owners (IBOs) appear to join Amway in the hopes of becoming wealthy one day. That much is obvious. The uplines, on the other hand, are astute enough to state the obvious, such as Amway is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Because new IBOs or prospects have been...

Feeling Sorry For IBOs?

As an IBO, one of the things I remember thinking was how sad I felt for those who weren't IBOs since we were all going to be rich and everyone else was going to be a loser. Our upline used to tell us that we were winners, and that if we weren't, we were definitely losers. The phrase "broke"...

The BBB And Amway?

 I've seen hundreds (if not thousands) of blogs and testimonials regarding Amway throughout the years. The majority of them complain about the drawbacks of becoming an Amway Independent Business Owner. The majority of the complaints point to Amway's higher costs than comparable merchants,...

Amway - The Least Efficient Way To Move Products?

 I recently wrote some pro-Amway comments on Amway's IBOs having no one between them. When I first heard the pitch, I thought the same thing. Amway was able to give bonuses to IBOs because they "cut out the middlemen." On the surface, this appears to be true, but deeper examination...

Amway IBOs Are Suckers?

 A brief disclaimer, I used to be an IBO. As a result, I used to be a sucker. Of course, it wasn't easy to google Amway and obtain so much information when I was an IBO. Basically, I was told a lot of lies about the company and the training programme. The two-to-five-year strategy was...

Amway IBOs Are Okay, But I'm Not?

 My upline taught me, and I believe it is still taught in many groups today, that winners join Amway and failures do not. Or that you were a winner because you took steps to improve your financial situation, while others who did not were losers. or mentally ill. It was referred to as...

Amway And Quitters?

 Never give up! Some uplines will teach this to new IBOs. They'll use anecdotal examples of sports champions who never give up. Tiger Woods, for example, will never quit a golf competition. While this is true, the golf competition will end, and Tiger will compete in another tournament...

The Amway 6-4-2 Plan?

 Let's dissect the 6-4-2 strategy (Re-print)Basically, it's a strategy to become direct (platinum), and all you have to do is sponsor six of these direct organisations to become a diamond and retire early, right?1PV = 2.5BV are the assumptions. A single PV costs around $2.70.The 6-4-2...

Your Amway Business's Vital Signs?

 When you drive a car, you have instruments on your dashboard that tell you how your vehicle is performing and whether or not repairs are required. For example, you have a gas gauge that tells you when it's time to fill up the tank. You can have an oil pressure gauge, a tyre pressure...

"Winners" Join Amway?

 My upline taught me, and I believe it is still taught in many groups today, that winners join Amway and failures do not. Or that you were a winner because you took steps to improve your financial situation, while others who did not were losers. or mentally ill. Of course, the upline...

What If Everyone Joined Amway?

 Consider an island with a population of 100 adults. A cousin in another part of the island sponsors one of the guys into Amway. The island residents are a close-knit bunch, so the one IBO sponsors his six best buddies right away, and soon all 100 island residents. They're all passionate...

Negative Or "The Truth" About Amway?

 Avoiding negative is one of the foolish things that many IBOs are taught. This is something I believe uplines teach today, and it was certainly emphasised throughout my time as an IBO. The upline diamond would argue that the world is full of negativity, and that we, as individuals,...

Hypocritical Uplines?

 Now that the internet is so widely available, information is openly exchanged, and some of the Lines Of Sponsorship's dark secrets have been revealed. Furthermore, as time goes on, it becomes plain that a number of upline leaders are enormous hypocrites who appear to be motivated by...
