There has been much talking around the Amway Diamond goal of every single Amway business owner. Find out if a regular person can achieve that kind of prosperity in their MLM.
If you're an online marketer,
chances are you have at least a slight notion of what an Amway Diamond is. I am not affiliated with Amway but I respect a company that has been active and growing for over 50 years and sold more than 8 billion dollars' worth of products in 2009 alone. Their offer is varied, ranging from cosmetics, bodycare products and jewelry to insurance to water and air purifiers, dietary supplements and electronics.
Amway products are now available through their reps in 58 contries around the globe and is currently booming in countries like China, Russia and especially India. The North American affiliate of the Amway Corporation, Amway Global, has been holding the number one spot in the Health & Beauty category for seven years straight.
An Amway Rep benefits by monthly performance bonuses ranging from 3% to 25% of the business volume depending on their productivity plus monthly and annual leadership bonuses and other cash prizes based on group performance.
So how does the Diamond fit into this?
A diamond is an Amway rep who creates 6 legs, each one of them generating Silver Producer Volume for a minimum of 6 months per year. It is a very challenging task but it seems like more than 4000 people worldwide have qualified to that level which gets them an average of around 200.000$ per year.
Is there an obvious path for someone to become an Amway Diamond?
Suppose you're a new distributor who doesn't yet know about the wonders of the Internet as far as MLM businesses go; there are a few choices you have in developing your business to Diamond level.
1. You may have the right attitude to go out and promote your business to hundreds of individuals, sponsor them and build your network mostly by yourself without a lot of help from others.
2. You could also start with help from your own sponsor in talking to other people, and this is how it works most of the times.
3. If you're the rather shy type, you may need a lot of help from your sponsor, especially as far as motivation goes.
So to succeed in offline marketing, with Amway or any other MLM business for that matter, you need to be a strong-willed, dedicated person, who doesn't falter in the face of repeated rejection but draws more strength and determination therefrom.
But how do things work on the Internet? Amway Global exceeded $885 million in 2009 from online sales alone. This figure does not only reflect the magnitude of online sales, but also the fact that hundreds of thousands of reps are relying on the Internet for placing their orders.
In my opinion, the real solution for becoming an Amway Diamond is to master online marketing and to train people how to do the same. Duplication is way easier when you have a sales funnel in place and you take your prospects through it. Just stay in touch every day via e-mail and it will prove more effective than hosting time consuming presentations every other day. Establish yourself to your downline as an expert who can provide them with information and guidance, and they will follow you on your way to success.
Internet Marketing is not that hard and achieving the diamond level in Amway should definitely be your goal if you take the business seriously.
