IBO business model is just terrible.

Myself and my mam worked for Amway as we both got lured into this business by a very pleasant ABO which in the end showed her true colours. Amway is a Network Marketing Company ( MML ) The new Amway business model is just terrible. IBO’s now have to go out and do at least 5 conversations per day with the public. So try interact with the public to see if you can get anyone interested in this business. So you can do your conversations in a mall, store, park, plane, bus etc. So you start a normal conversation with the public hoping that it will lead into an interest which is shocking as there are a lot of innocent vulnerable people out there. If the prospect shows an interest then you have to bring them through a 7 step process with your sponsor to see is the prospect really suitable for the business. If at any time the sponsor feels the prospect isn’t interested in the business, the sponsor will filter the prospect out in a nice way which is terrible seen as the prospect will be a self employed IBO. If the prospect makes it through the 7 step process and joins, then you have just entered hell. The prospect will then have to buy books, buy audios with a monthly bill coming in, buy seminar tickets every month, buy conference tickets 3 times per year while paying for flights, hotel and food all out of your own pocket as you will have to attend the 3 conferences every year in different countries. Your sponsor will then tell you to put in a £300/600 order every month as this is team standard. So you end up buying products you don’t want just to suit them and you end up spending money from your own bank account just to please them aswell. Then you have to be on all zoom calls so they don’t care about how busy you are with work etc, they expect you to be on these calls wheather you like it or not. Sponsors also expect you to take time off work to attend seminars/conferences. They don’t care about you at all. Even right through the pandemic they still expected business as usual. So they were doing everything online but still expected IBO’s to buy online seminar/conference tickets despite people loosing there jobs and loved ones. This shows they just don’t care. It was costing myself and my mam £6000 per year to work for Amway so we left. They’re new business model seems to be very shady and hidden and they seem to be very choosy at who they let onto their teams. People is not fools. People has all this copped onto. Sponsors are forcing IBO’s to invest money into this shady business as they will tell you it’s an investment into your future but it seems it’s a never ending investment. The rate these are going, I can see someone here been sued wheather it’s a sponsor, IBO or the company itself. Anyone thinking of joining Amway, think again and do your research before joining. You won’t make money. Stay away and AVOID.
