One thing that I am aware
of as an IBO is that some uplines can profit from our tools purchases. I was in
WWDB at the time and I was told very clearly that nobody made money from the
tools and in fact, I was also told that WWDB was a non-profit organization.
Both of these statements are true and as told by WWDB leaders they have all
been verified. We were told that upline cared about us and our success, thus
they spent their own money to fly to functions to teach us how to succeed.
Eventually, the internet and other media made it impossible to cover up the lies from other rogue uplines who finally admitted that they profited from tools. However, it looks like they downplayed the magnitude of the tools profits. I believe some uplines may have made most of their income from tools, especially leaders who may have fallen out of qualification. Now that the uplines admit they make some profits from tools, there is still a great deal of secrecy in the tools business. What makes the whole thing harming is that the uplines allegedly are not supposed to entice Amway prospects into joining by using the tools money as a draw, but at the same time, they are told that tools are vital to their success.
I wonder how many prospects or IBOs would be fired up about buying tools if they knew that their uplines might not currently be qualified at the level they claim to be, and knowing that the uplines will make a ton of money whether or not you make a cent as an IBO? Also, some uplines are shameless in pushing the tools on downline. Sure they might cut the newest guy a break and loan them some cds, but once that IBO decides to start building downline, they are likely to be told that a real business owner buys their own tools, or that a business owner needs to be a leader and purchase extra tools for their downline.
How would you feel if your upline is touting themselves as a financial genius but in the background, their homes are foreclosed or they have financial difficulties? What if your upline touts their morals and you find out they are divorced or getting a divorce? What if your upline said Amway cures cancer? Your upline certainly won't say they are perfect, but conversely, they should be held to the highest standards if they are using their status to be able to sell tools and make large profits.
Many prospects and IBOs don't know this, but I hope they take it to heart.
