What's Great About Amway?


Over the years I have been debating about Amway with people who cannot see what is so great about the Amway opportunity. Are some of these people that stupid or dense? This is a business where hundreds people make a profit and all of the IBOs think it is a great opportunity? I'm not talking about people who sign up and "do nothing". Many IBOs who sign up and put in a great deal of time and effort make a lot of money. It is a system that simply works (especially in the US) and they very rarely make a business decision to quit to do something else. 

Of course there are some people who make more money in Amway than others. If it was true that nobody made money, then the opportunity would cease to exist. But it is incredibly true. Basically it’s the combination of the downline and upline mutual benefit system that accounts for the success. Amway's growth in sales to non-IBOs confirms this. All uplines make some of their income from their downline's PV volume, and this system is then duplicated through the downlines business. Do the lottery and you might be a winner. Even ponzi schemes and other questionable opportune-ties have some winners. The Amway system is the only one that works and works well and it’s legal! Amway is perfectly legal, the way the opportunity is set up, everyone profits. Unlike other business opportunities that do so at the expense of their trusted followers. 

There are a lot of groups that I know of where all the IBO’s win and earn a profit. I would guess that there might be a hundreds of groups who only focus on retail sales, and these groups are very profitable. I am in such a group. This is because most IBOs follow building techniques laid out by the WWDB, BWW, LTD or N21, and these groups are all active in recruiting of new IBOs. They may concentrate on selling goods, and encourage you with a range of  training, motivational speeches, feel good stories and the theme of never quitting. Are you a quitter? 

Some uplines are quite frank with their downlines and are keen to point out that their Amway business is all about making money, but not at the expense of destroying your marriage, or making you a greedy person, or some other diversion to make you forget that you are in a business that helps people to make money and be profitable month after month after month. Some groups may have a tendency to mix in a little religion and politics into their functions and meetings. There are a lot of passionate people out there.
As far as I can see, the typical business building IBO signs up, gets some of the products and attends a few functions, and finds that the products are easy to sell because they are priced competitively with other retailers, and that a damaged reputation is nearly impossible to overcome. These IBOs realize they are going somewhere, and they walk the walk and in doing so learn some of life’s great lessons. There are many uplines who worked hard in the past are continuing to do so today, often just doing it for your benefit (i.e. talking about making profits from sales). 

Many IBOs, prospects, information seekers and critics read this blog. My question is very simple. Why don’t you get involved with the Amway opportunity? For most, it is just a great use of time and effort. While some may exist, I don't know of a single person who "did the work once" and then decided to sit back collecting barrels of Amway money while sipping on Mai Tais on the beaches of Jamaica. I see Crown Ambassadors working as hard today as they did many years ago. Diamonds building new homes instead of foreclosures. Prominent Diamonds totally evading the possibility of bankruptcy proceedings, and a hoard of WWDB Diamonds buying new mansions that they paid for in cash. (It is quite possible that their lifestyles could be yours one day). 

There are many benefits in this business for the typical IBO? One day they will become Diamonds. A lot faster than depending on becoming a lottery winner. Displaying a lottery winner doesn't make it prudent to spend your money on lottery tickets. Having a Diamond's lifestyle does make Amway sound like a better opportunity. Amway is a business and not a game of chance. The results of being a lottery winner are eerily similar but there although there are a few lottery winners there are very few non winners in our business. 

What is so great about the Amway opportunity? Come and see?
