What are opinions of Amway?
The opinions on Amway vary as much as there are people withopinions. Opinions are free, that's why people give themvociferously. So one should always be cautious when listenin…g toopinions. .
1. Some people regard Amway as a pyramid scheme. This is not thecase and was tested in the US courts in the 80's and found to be avery healthy business model. .
2. There is no money to be made. As with any business work isrequired and Amway is no different to any other business andrequires the right input for the right results. Buying a franchiserequires the new owner to subscribe to that specific franchise'sbusiness model and operating system. Amway also subscribes to aspecific business model, operating system and work ethic. Ifsomeone hasn't made money while many hundreds of thousands aroundthe world have, then the answer is obvious. They never followed thesystem! .
3. Amway is a Multi Level Marketing Company. MLM is sometimesthrown around as a swear word while millions of people in thousandsof companies around the world put food on the table as a result ofthis business model. Negative opinions about multilevel marketingcompanies normally originate from people's negative perceptionaround direct selling methods because they cant see themselves inthat role or they have been approached and irritated by such aperson. Due to technological advancements Amway has changed theirbusiness model from direct marketing to a referral commissionsystem (very simply put and much more advanced) .
Robert Kiyosaki, Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and most widelyread financial author in the world, wrote another book, Business ofthe 21st Century. In this book he speaks about MLM as a businessconcept. It's worth a read. Then you can have an informed expert'sopinion, and not the opinion of someone who opinionates based onpersonal prejudice. (MORE)
