It is common for people with little understanding of the Amway business to say that about 97% of them make no money and never succeed. They use this claim to drive people away from the Amway business.
The statement is not only incorrect but misleading.
The statement ignores the efforts Network Marketers are making to build their businesses. Let me give you an example. If you have a group of athletes who do not prepare properly for a major athletic event, hardly train, do not maintain a strict diet, and do not follow the instructions of their coaches, what is the probability that they will win any medals? The chances are practically nil. Does that mean you can’t be successful as an athlete (assuming you have the talent)? No, he does not do it.
The above example applies to the Amway business. Most people who join Amway hardly do anything significant. it was estimated that 75% of those who get involved in the business never sponsor anyone. Only about 25% sponsor another human being. It is almost safe to assume that these people will not get any significant financial return from your business. There are exceptions, of course, with those who join Amway solely for retail. But then, if you decide to focus solely on retailing your products, you’ll still need to get serious about your retail business to make money.
It is noted that about half of those who join Amway leave within the first year. Some start and then decide to quit. Most treat their business like a hobby and then quit when they don’t make any money. Some turn off when they learn that the business will require a lot of work. It is a certainty that if you put zero effort into something you will get zero return. This is the same for any business, not just the Amway business. I guess the reason people don’t take their network marketing business seriously is because of the low entry fees. People don’t feel like they’re losing much financially when they quit. They may have been under the mistaken belief that this is a quick scheme. It would be a different story if people had invested thousands of pounds or dollars in start-up costs and knew they would suffer financial loss if they didn’t take their business seriously.
A better way to see the success rate at Amway would be to look at the number of people who put in the effort to build their Amway business. We can look at those who are actively expounding the sales and marketing plan, those who have made enough sales to earn an income, those who have followed the teachings of their leaders, those who have invested enough time in personal development, those who are building depth and breadth into your business. And also those who add new people to their contact list. Base your analysis on active Network Marketers as a and this will give you a better idea of the success rate of Amway businesses. It would be a mistake to base your analysis on those who do nothing.
Your Amway business is a business and should be treated like a business. It requires constant and serious work and persistence. Financial rewards won’t come to you automatically, you’ll have to work to be successful at Amway.
