Back in the early 90s, I just got hired by Conoco EPNA, and it was not 10 months before they started having layoffs. People started coming out of the woodwork trying to sell AMWAY. They showed me the giant AMWAY catalogue. I said, I don’t get it, I don’t see the benefit, you can go to WalMart and get cheaper items than this. They said, about 1/3 is higher, about 1/3 is the same (so right off the bat, Wal Mart has them beat by 2/3), and 1/3 is cheaper, which I think was there own products. I said so what is the profit engine, how do you make money? ANSWER: You don’t, you have to sign people up underneath you, your downlines.
If you get in on it, congratulations! You just became part of somebody else's "downline", working to make money for them.
