The point is they currently don't have to worry about the tool content, because they have a monopoly. In a monopoly, there is no need to worry about high quality or low prices. When the prices come down, there will be more incentive to increase the PRODUCT profit, and the incentive will drive the tool content.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395124008407193399.post-6448089574405902302008-04-15T13:17:00.000-05:002008-04-15T13:17:00.000-05:00I agree, the tools prices could be lower.

By lowering tool prices (and the resulting profit), the upline will have the incentive to produce tools that do create product based profit based on increased retailing. <BR/><BR/>My point is the upline is merely acting in such a way to maximize profit, in today's world this means tool profit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395124008407193399.post-41257437704616886882008-04-14T15:51:00.000-05:002008-04-14T15:51:00.000-05:00What big apple said, is what I have been saying fo...What big apple said, is what I have been saying for a long time now.

If the upline isn't making as much of a profit when prices are lowered, they will have the PROFIT INCENTIVE to change the content.

My point wasn’t that there are too many tools promoted, it’s what they teach. Setting aside, for the moment, IBOFB’s statements about N21 in Europe, most Systems don’t teach the fundamentals of having a successful Amway business. Meaning, the BSMs teach leadership and personal development, which may be well and good, but they don’t teach about product, how to sell, how to get and keep a customer, etc. <BR/><BR/>In other words they don’t teach people how to make money in the Amway business. <BR/><BR/>The BSMs are mostly self-serving: meaning that a lot of what you hear is promoting the very training system you’re in. Speeches tell you how great it is, what’s coming up next, and that your pathway to success is to follow the system. And what does the System teach you? To follow the System. <BR/><BR/>I call the System leaders the “butts-in-seats” guys, because that’s what they’re selling.<BR/><BR/>You can lower the prices all you want, but if the materials don’t teach the right stuff, nothing’s improved. I don’t believe that lowering prices will result in the content being changed. Even today, with the tool income being much less than it was five years ago, content still hasn’t changed. Oh, maybe some has in order to be accredited by Quixtar, but the message the leadership delivers hasn’t changed. <BR/><BR/>Lowering prices will only mean that people are paying less for bad information. An improvement? Yes. Solving the problem? No.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395124008407193399.post-83390731755101913332008-04-04T16:28:00.000-05:002008-04-04T16:28:00.000-05:00National Spotlight A Quixtar North AmericaAmway Gl...National Spotlight <BR/>A Quixtar North America<BR/>Amway Global <BR/>Sponsored Event<BR/><BR/>The product, the company<BR/>Bringing our products to life<BR/>Open to all IBOs and their guests<BR/>Friday – 6 – 10 p.m.<BR/>Saturday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.<BR/>Los Angeles May 9 - 10<BR/>Greensboro May 30 – 31<BR/>Orlando June 6 - 7<BR/>Chicago July 11 – 12<BR/>San Francisco Aug. 8 - 9<BR/>Omaha Aug. 22 - 23<BR/>New York City Aug. 29 – 30<BR/>WA, D.C.
