Amway Review – Amway Business – Amway MLM Plan

opportunity? Well here is a thorough and detailed report about the 
company, product line, compensation plan and recruiting strategies that 
the company still uses. Here you will find the good, bad and ugly of this 
income vehicle.

The Good:

They were one of the first companies to pave the way of the work from 
home based industry. They made it possible for people to earn income 
from home instead of commuting to a job or traditional brick and mortar 
business. They proved that money could be made by ordinary people. 
They have had a huge success in business, sales and distributor 
success stories. They will most likely be here for a very long time.

History:
Amway is known as one of the pioneers of the MLM industry. The 
company was first established in 1959 by Jay Van Andel and Rich 
DeVos. The founders were basically two friends that initially formed the 
company to provide a better life for their families. The company is now 
being run by their sons Steve Van Andel (Chairman) and Doug DeVos 
(President). The company is located in Ada Michigan.

Amway Product Line:

Health and Nutrition:
Vitamins, minerals, water, energy drinks, cookware and air purifiers ETC.

Cosmetics and Beauty Supplies:
Skin care products, make up and anti aging products ETC.

Home Care Products:
All kinds of biodegradable cleaning products designed for home use.

Gifts and Accessories:
All types of jewellery and gift products for men and women that have a 
price range for almost everyone.

The Bad:

How to Make Money:
How you make money with Amway is basically by purchasing products 
from your up line at wholesale and selling them back to customers for a 
suggested retail price. You basically have to stock pile products that are 
on a monthly auto ship deal.  I personally do not like to stock pile 
products. That is the company’s responsibility. When selling anything, all 
you want to do is make the sales and let the company do the rest.

The Compensation Plan:
The comp plan is very confusing. I wouldn't even try to explain it because 
that is something that may take a few hours. This can make an 
opportunity hard to promote.

The Ugly:

Amway is basically old school marketing that is still lead by you guessed 
it “old schoolers”. The approach that worked back in the good old days 
like the fifties, sixties and seventies, don’t work as good today.

Most people look for an Internet marketing approach as a way to steer 
as far away from trying to promote and sell to family members and 
friends. We all know how negative they can be.

The main reason that any company wouldn’t change their marketing 
strategies for new distributors is because what ever they are doing right 
now is making enough sales for the company to keep them into a 
lucrative profitable position. No more, no less.

However, this is good new for them but can be very bad or even ugly 
news for new recruits in this day and age who don’t have enough skill 
sets in sales or prospecting.

Conclusion:
Well I hope that this review will shed some light on this topic of the 
Amway Business Opportunity. I like them but wouldn’t get involved with 
them personally. That is my personal opinion. They have a business 
plan that clearly works and I strongly believe that they are not going 
anywhere. They have very strong foundations built by the original 
founders. They most likely were very strong men with big hearts. They 
had to be in order for their business to proper the way that it did. 
However, 2nd generations don’t always keep up the same level of quality 
or integrity that the first generation started from. If they did, then most 
likely they would adapt to our times.
