Critical mass is impending? Doom and gloom is upon us? Sounds like something has gone badly wrong in a break out sect of some wierd church!
Critical mass was something we never heard at Amway meetings. “Now is the time to get into Amway and start building your Amway business! The Amway business is exploding and now is the time to get in and collect the benefits of getting into Amway in time. But never "before we reach critical mass. Before its too late. Don’t miss the bus.” Blah blah blah. We are not open to that effect.
We were always told that we’d come “on board” at just the right time. “Now is the beginning of what is gearing up to be a huge increase in Internet sales of Amway products. Exciting changes are just about to happen in the Amway business. This is huge!”
Yup all the good reasons to get involved with our business.
I heard this message in a pitch years ago the first time we signed up for Amway! And people leaving comments on this blog are saying they heard it too from the Amway team leaders like last week. The only change is making more money thanks to more Amway ideas being on the scene - Communikate, WWDB premier membership, etc - we decided to invest more heavily into Amway’s business plan.
To further punctuate that we’d gotten on board with Amway at just the right time when the Amway business is about to explode we were shown charts of how this trend was projected to occur over the next few years with sales going up. This chart was part of the business plan flip cards that were shown at every Amway meeting.
The hard working Platinum used to flip the chart upside down and say those were the statistics of people who aren’t in Amway. Doomed not to have any savings and work a job until they were 65 years old at which time they’d automatically either die or be broke.
There have been some major changes in Amway but whether or not they’re exciting depends on whether or not you’re an IBO. Or married to one. Like me! I love him!
Once my husband was immersed in the Amway business ethict these are the exciting changes I observed in him:
1. he got into some great debates with people he normally got along well with and they decided to come to our Amway meetings
2. he encouraged people who had J.O.B.s and hadn’t considered Amway a viable career choice before
3. he was very kind to friends who at first weren’t interested in supporting his business but who now are buying all of our Amway products
4. he dropped whatever he was doing to respond to phone calls or text messages from the people in his downline who needed him to help them wherever they were for whatever they deemed was important
5. he quoted Amway speak (our little joke ) constantly and learned from our upline. Like listen up! Everybody should at least consider Amway! We now notice how everybody talk to us and everyone invites us over for dinner a lot?
6. he evaluted everything he and I did and how it was making us money in our Amway business.
7. he had the idea that his upline sponsor was some sort of business god only by virtue of the fact that he had brought him into the Amway sytem and he might just be right
8. he became busier around the house keeping his Amway inventory in check wherever he happened to be and always put the consumed items containers into the garbage or recycling bin. Part of the Amway good business practice teachings.
9. he uses his credit card wisely for Amway related purchases including sometimes treating the entire upline out for meals. Alwaysthough it is used for buying Amway products so he could serve his downlines better.
10. he became increasingly assured, assertive, wise, and attentive
11. he assured everyone with different points of view (from his upline) that this is the way to go
12. have I mentioned how INCREDIBLE he was to anyone who didn’t immediately share his view on how wonderful, amazing, etc etc the Amway business is.
Yeah he is a real joy to live with! The IBO lover from Amway heaven! Supported by some great people in our upline. A Super IBO!
The changes since he got into of the business and away from being worn down by the people he used to work with have been a lot more positive such as becoming a nice person again. With the upline’s help he claims that being in Amway makes you a nicer person - we say this to remind people about the money they’re not making by not being in Amway- I’m here to say that NO WAY IN HELL does being an Amway IBO make someone a loser. As a business like group of team leaders they all put on a good show at Amway functions and seminars and in private they’re the same happy, loving, approachable people. making lots of money in the Amway business can change a person’s perspective on life and really help you understand the needs of other.
Dealing with our upline team leaders who help some IBO’s understand the reason they’re not succeeding in the Amway business is because they’re trying too hard in the wrong direction or because their approach needs adjusting, but thy do it because they care..
No matter what some other people might say about how Amway brings exciting changes to people’s lives, I’m here to say watching someone getting boosted by the Amway business is an exciting thing to watch. Its a ascent into heaven.
