Amway products are VERY expensive by comparison of retail stores not even close. People you spoke to either have never heard of the company or love the products?? Seriously — who has never heard of Amway? I actually was approached by an IBO last week and today was an official meeting.
One thing I tell you, this company follows some serious tactics to talk a random dude like me into such meetings. I was also asked to read a book that shows how network marketing is the way to go in todays era. Thanks for sharing Sam! Many peeps have similar experiences with Amway and other MLMs. Do you have personal experience with Amway and WWG?
Thanks for your review, it has certainly helped in my understanding of the company, organization, etc.
And just like any network marketing or home-based business — some are successful, most are not. You should check out my best MLM review article for more info. Having said that, we all agree that anyone who want to have a profitable business, no matter in which industry or the type of business, they have to work hard to make money.
Bottom line, we need to have or develop the courage to make things work. Nothing comes easy in life. Hey Walter, thanks for your comment! Thank God! An unbiased factual blog about the Amway Corporation! Thank you for your well worded review, a breath of fresh air!
The Amway Corporation is so much more than what meets the eye in relation to allowing ol regular Joes n Janes like you and I to create the income and lifestyle we choose. Character is built in the struggle and who you really are is revealed in the fight.
Thanks for the comment! MLMs are definitely not for the faint of heart. But the same can be said about being any kind of entrepreneur. I grew up with it. My parents got in back when I was a very young kid back in the mid sixties not long after it got its start. So after about 2 years they did it full time and ended up bankrupt! One of their annual things and they always wanted you to purchase all the books and tapes they recommended!
The company itself has absolutely awesome products but I would run away from anyone pushing it as a fair business opportunity unless you are very very determined and have the patience and time to put in the work. All I can say is good luck. Absolutely great job giving us unbiased information.
Please keep your work ongoing and would definitely love information other company and people other than mlm. And thanks again for all your effort!! Thanks for your comment and support! Some of these articles e. Hey, thanks a lot for this awesome review. Very well explained and good humour included as well lol.
Doing business with Amway, I know that to be true, all the things you mentioned above. Great job and I personally encourage everyone to take a look at this amazing business opportunity. I just wanted to say every part of this article is true. Ive recently been approached by some really nice people who want to incorporate me into their Amway family. The few meetings and gatherings that I have been to immediately registered in my mind as a cult-like experience.
Not that they are bad people. Honestly Ive never met nicer people. I was absolutely shocked by their catalog. I have tried their products though. Not gonna lie its true-blue and quality stuff. I respect your writing style and wanted to thank you for taking the time to do your research. I respected that, and wanted to vouch for them.
Alhamdulillah, thank you so much brother. You open my mind and thank you once again, Im done with Amway. Thank you for all of the research and time you put into bringing all of this together.
Now, if only we both sets of parents could get our kids to read this great information. They are newly married, just graduated from college this year with high honors, working at the school they graduated from and discussing the excitement of the next journey in their lives.
Never was the name Amway used. Yet, our kids are now convinced that this is how they will succeed in life.
Thanks for sharing your story, Glenda! I understand your concern but I would highly recommend backing off and letting your kids experience the reality of being an MLMer themselves. Built the business in my early 20s for a short period through WWDB. All of these things I picked up on from actually working the Amway business the way they tell you to. I recommend it to a lot of people as a way to thicken their skin and learn business basics.
Not just use it as a stepping stone to start another company. I am new to Melbourne and have come here to pursue my masters of Information Technology in the top ranked university of Melbourne. I have been approached by someone and have been attending multiple catch-ups and I am still in the vetting process.
I have also attended a winter conference held in Melbourne. I am confused as to what to do next. Should I proceed with this business? I told my mentors that I have to manage my studies, part-time job and the Amway business. They told me that I should have the willingness to do and they would help me to manage my time and also have a budgeting session. All this personal development and financial freedom seems to be appealing to me and I am thinking of continuing this business.
But I am still confused. Hey Sarita, thanks for your comment! Long story short: this business requires a serious commitment. Thanks for your comment, Michael. However, there are obviously some products being sold to consumers e. Or a total scam. And some of the higher ranks do make a fortune from selling their business support materials. We have kids and she keeps saying we should limit our eating!

That being said, I think the potential reward is much higher than the potential risk. Just my two cents. I think the most important thing Chuck Holmes addresses on his website is overcoming the fear of rejection. Reminds me of Pat Shay and his little black book. Not only record contact information, but also what your conversation discovered.
The timing may not have been right. They were not rejecting you; just your message; at that particular time. Keep adding to their page in your book. Get back to them every so often. Keep building a relationship. Be a long term thinker. Short term thinkers end up quitting. Never give up on people. You see, most people, and I mean most, are not ready to buy what you are selling or join what you are offering at that specific moment in time.
It all comes down to timing. If you just move on to the next person you are leaving a LOT of money on the table. Keep in touch with everyone you ever talk to. That way when the timing does become right for them they will partner with you as a customer or distributor.
It pertains to almost any type of product, service, business opportunity, etc. Hi Guys…I was introduced to Amway business in …I was 21 then…I did it for 6 months and nobody except my family supported me in that endeavor….
I did mistakes…I sold to my nearest family and friends and thats it…people were not ready to be a down-line of a 21 yr old…I left for 2 reasons….
I was not sure about the success…2. I was doing good…but…. I was not leveraging. Abusive comments denied? Well…then this is not a fair thread and to whomever is going to read and deny this, you are using the same tactics your IBO vendor has taught you — to NOT critically think and to, by no means, entertain any questions or doubts people have.
This is the oddest article I have ever read, to put it very G rated. How can you say that something that has a. Come on. This business is 50 years old, I get it…. They are irrelevant now. The seminars, retreats, marketing material, tapes, CDs, etc etc etc. AB, wow, where do I start? So many things wrong with what you said. Perhaps a simple question — did you even bother reading the article you commented on?
Heck, did you even read what you wrote? You quote the average income NOT salary! AB, you assume a lot! Diamond is NOT the break-even point for profitability. Neither is Emerald. This is , not I broke even my first month. Big Mistake! I agree with your last statement. The odds are in favor of those ABOs who treat their business like a real business. Any business that can break even in the year, let alone the first month is a pretty good deal.
Why is Amway so secretive. Also twice ppl have told me they bought me a present but then when they are leaving they mention that they will be back in a few days to retrieve said present. Is the secrecy part of the sales process?
I feel like you get pressured into cutting off social relationships. He hardly talks to his family and friends since he wants this to work. Do you think that people who are already rich will succeed more than those who are financially strained? I feel like that is a factor since his uplines were already trust fund babies or were people who had 6 figure incomes at their jobs. It takes time. Nothing unusual about that. Yes and no. But it does takes time and effort. But what if you are supportive?
How long do you let the person do the new venture until you call it quits? It just seems like a high risk situation because another venture you know what is at the end of 4 years a degree, a promotion etc. My other qualm is that I feel like people within the organization have so much self respect that they condescend others. For example getting a job and retiring at 65 is such a dumb notion to them. Having said that, from your first post it sounds as if he maybe is having some success now.
What might be worthwhile is setting some deadline, together. Everyone in my team has always constantly re-affirmed to me that my relationships come first, and my current studies come second, and that my business therefore comes third. I hate the condescension that seems to be so ubiquitous among the platinums and above.
Not sure why having a job and retiring at 65 is a problem. Is that the goal they speak of when presenting the business? Brad, we each have our own goals, our own why. What would be one of your goals if money was not an issue? I am 69 years old. Many of my Diamond friends are about the same age. We have fun helping others make money. I am having fun writing to you! At the same time I may be helping others. My time is to use as I see fit. To whom much is given, much is required.
