Here is an update letter from Ben Woodward regarding the Amway UK RoI Sanctions:
UK IBO Communication
May 10th, 2007To: UK/RoI IBO Leader
From: Ben Woodward, Branch Manager, Amway UK/RoIRE: Further information on announced changes
Amway would like to take this opportunity to share more information with you regarding some of the points referenced in the recent announcement of changes made effective May 4th 2007.
Firstly, in reference to meetings scheduled by IBOs; please understand that ALL meetings that have a ticket charge associated will need to be cancelled until further notice, and all ticket fees for cancelled meetings must be refunded. As any activity associated with recruitment (for example showing the plan) is currently suspended, there should be no need for open meetings at present. There can be no redefining of meetings to circumvent these requirements. Please appreciate that this action is necessary. No recruitment also includes no registering of Members. Amway will notify you when this decision is reviewed and what criteria will be applied to the authorisation by Amway of future ticketed meetings and activities in connection with signing up new IBOs.The sale and distribution of Amway products continues and bonuses will continue to be paid as all bonuses are paid out based upon the sale of products.
Please be assured that during the course of this sponsoring moratorium Amway is looking at ways to ensure that everyone is treated fairly in respect of qualifications and rewards to ensure that people do not miss out due to the difficulties associated with our current mode of operation.
The reference to training IBOs to re-qualify them is in relation to Amway ensuring all IBOs understand and will deliver only appropriate messages in their Amway business. Hence sponsoring is suspended for 60 days to allow Amway the opportunity to develop this training. Amway will meet first with its leadership. Leadership being defined as IBOs qualified as Platinum and above. Following this meeting Amway will host a series of meetings or roadshows around the UK and Ireland where all IBOs will be required to participate should they wish to be qualified to sponsor new IBOs. Details of this process will be made available shortly.
Please understand that these decisions have been taken by Amway in the interests of and its commitment to the long term life and well being of the UK and Irish markets. The Amway business opportunity is a wonderful one and we have many, many committed and loyal IBOs across these two markets that are sincere, hard working, trustworthy and dependable. Difficult times or times of change reveal our true leadership abilities. I have been most grateful for and am heartened by the messages of understanding, support and cooperation that I have received from IBOs. Thank you to each of you. To others that are not so sure I give you Amway’s assurance that such change is well thought out, that IBOs long term interests are at the heart of these decisions and that the principles and values that founded this company continue to flow through the decisions made recently.
Sincerely
Ben Woodward
