There is a semi-secret source for all of this Amway UK information at MLMLeads.eu. I check out the site about once a day and post the updates here. So if you want to sneak over and get the updates at the source, head on over to MLMLeads.eu:
comment from webmaster. This email shows quite clearly and insight into
the internal working of a network, it is interesting to expereince the
desperation of a hard working ibo, to get his so called mentors to
listen, it is really a cry for help and shows how genuine people are
about there Amway businesses. his reward for this email was to be
banned.Dear Demetrius,
I was present at the meeting
with our awesome US upline and there was no talk of any one been
banned. In fact the meeting talked about how unified we were.Since then I realise I was mislead.
I
have found out since the ibo who sent this email, was in fact told he
was not welcome at the meeting. The reason because he sent it
crossline. Well if this was the reason, no one should have been at the
meeting!Yes the email is slightly over the top but knowing
the ibo, who is eccentric to say the least and very funny, this should
have been taken into consideration.I agree with his points, its
a shame they were not allowed to voice them. I am extremely
disapointed. I will email the ibo today to let him know I have posted
his email.Hopefully they wont be upset. I have taken their names and my name of, I hope you undestand this.
Subject: Re: plat meeting sat Al b etc,
I
gather the DTI complaints don’t involve the BWW team, however as we
have a 8 week sabbatical and the meeting on Saturday will it gives us
the opportunity to sort out our own act.You probably heard
the expression "pig don’t know pigs stink" and based on my last tools
meeting, recent events and the attitude of some of you, to your upline
and britt office here in the UK. It is a remarkable opportunity to see
if we can all get on the same unified UK page. I would also say the
lack of our needs by the US Britt office and based on my last tools
meeting, is totally arrogant to the UK needs and strikes me that we are
never going to be listened to, unless we have a massive business and
BWW have something to loose.Before I start, how many of you have phoned the Britt office to offer your support to S and to Pe and Lo
I would point if the DTI come hunting it will be the Britt office staff
and P and L who will carry the proverbial can, your US upline wont!.
God Bless them they are under extreme pressure, and your encouraging
words would help. They deserve a bit more tlc, than some of you have
shown.I occasionally get emails from some of you crossline
with something like, "we are the most unified team in the world blah!
Blah! Blah!"Well blah blah blah why don’t you show it, to your UK leadership.
Actions
recently have further highlighted your lack of edification and unity
here. I will list a few, just in the last couple of months.Attitude booked for 19th 20th May
At
the time I said how dare an ibo, who left BWW and came back, send me an
unsolicited email for a function booked with it not been sanctioned by
BWW and not only this at £12 a time and only 5 days after a major.
Stupid stupid and more stupid. I knew BWW would not sanction
it……wrong!!!!! More stupid stupid decisions it was sanctioned, and for
only one reason more money in the system. In retrospect this has left
us wide open with the DTI investigation into to many functions and once
again we are left to pick up the peaces in the UK.
If we are
allowed functions again this type of maverick organising has to stop.
Your uplines or mentors in the US have to stop interfering in the UK
domestic business without informing and councelling with the UK
leadership and Britt office.
Silver weekend.
I fully
understand some of you made it clear because of weddings etc. that
silver weekend was out. However many of you indicated you were going,
bookings were made and then on mass you cancelled, with what I can only
describe as puny excuses. Some even said they were going to functions
in the states! Unbelievable de-edification, of the home leadership
team. What are your mentors teaching you….other than non unity in the
UK.
In other words you deedified a home function for
international functions. Although cancelled now anyway, this weekend
would have been very important in the unity and comradeship of the Uk
leadership.
Once again a great opportunity lost.
I
wander how they would react in the states if I was counselling my
people in the states not to attend particular function. That’s right, I
think there would be something said, don’t you.
Open meeting
I
gather a group split away from a London open, once again without
counselling with their uk Team leaders. What ever reason you done it
for, remember THE TEAM is far more important than your team. If your US
upline advised you to do this, once again it is illegal interference in
the UK business. And did they get both sides of the story and check
things with their UK upline leadership emeralds? If not shame on you
and them. Luckily the open was big enough to keep on going. I have seen
similar things done in our past Amway life and eventually it has
destroyed both meetings.
System money
There is more
secrecy over system money than there is in the Masonic industry. It
leads to mis trust and worse still accusations of mis handling of
funds, and eventually fraud, which the DTI are pursuing now. In light
of the fact that we still not have a British infrastructure in place
after all these years, in the DTI s eyes, it could lead to us been
investigated for mis handling of funds. Do we want this cloud to
continue to hang over us? We need to be open about where the money
goes….now.
S and I didn’t even know there was a break on tools
until we hit platinum; these days with the various negative sites it is
common knowledge. If we are not to be up front, with the accounts
available for anyone to look at, we are on a very sticky wicket. I hope
our strange secretive system changes. People now are starting to build
the business and get people systemised for the wrong reasons.
Some
of you know my feeling concerning the infrastructure of the UK
business, I stated it quite clearly at our first meeting in Milton
Keynes. It was never heeded and now we once again find ourselves with
nothing to relate to the real UK population. Ie. The British.
This
is not to de-edify my foreign brothers, you know I love ya, but I want
to build a business here in the UK with the Brits. After all it is the
much larger part of the population, it makes business sense, 55
million. As of before Amways email we had nothing and now we have the
same….nothing. So I suppose at the moment there aint much about the
system im missing, other than the company of you lot..
We need
freedom to make choices at bsm meeting, not dictatorship. We need to be
able to choose our own books, which relate in this country (see Helens
letter below). We need British speakers and cds. If we can have a
motivational speaker from the US over here, who might have won a water
treatment competition for Amway, but never really built the Amway
business, why not British Motivational speakers? Why not, the numerous
crossline emerald and diamond UK speakers….i could go on but wont. But
I hope you get my point.
Im sure if the BWW big shots would
step of their high horse and wonder how they would react, if they only
had UK cds and books in their system after 25 years,, and mainly only
UK speakers. They might have a bit more empathy with my forthright but
right advice. You know walk in someone elses shoes.
….system
money, has become a swear word in our industry, other than the very few
who make a lot. I think system money has led to our Britt team
splitting at 4 times now. It has always been the Achilles’ heel of the
business and even now, it continues to bite us in the bum.
in the UK system at the moment 95% of the cds are US
95% of the books are US
95% of the speakers are US
when are we going to cotton on for goodness sake!
All we are doing is feeding their pockets!
There
are inherent challenges on the horizon with BWW and our UK system and
if they are not address, then I can see an ultimate break up of our own
system (if it is allowed to go on, in its present format) and eventual
closure by the DTI. Tell that to your US upline, the next time they
encourage you to do an unauthorised meeting, and they take the money..
Im
sure on Saturday A will reassure us the B has been to Ada. And
everthing is gonna be great. I believe that and hope we can all go away
sat unified under the same cause. As ever, if I have upset you let your
UK upline or UK mentor know…that will be a good start. If you support
what I say, in the past I have had just about zero support, judging
what A B has said to me, you make sure you have the guts to express
your opinion, perhaps then they will listen and we wont have to again
have to put up with the mess we are experiencing at the moment..
H email
Hi Upline !
The forthcoming tools committee meeting has prompted me to express
a concern and forward a suggestion.
I feel that some of the books we receive on the book of the month
programme are not the best we could invest in in the UK market. Many
seem to me to be taking advantage of networking organisations
Guaranteeing large sales of their book.
Some seem to be re-hashes of
existing PMA ideas by slick salespeople. I do not particularly wish to
encourage such authors by giving them my money (in the same way that I
rarely buy newspapers) , when there are so many more beneficial options.
I have the following suggestions…
1) Could we include ‘classic books’ ? I can see far more value in such
authors as Waitley, Carnegie, Schuller, Covey, Mandino etc. What about
Personality Plus, Skill With People, The Five Love Languages ? I would
much prefer a duplicate of a great book than another inferior one.
2) Books of substance recommend that we read autobiographical material
about successful people. Can we learn from the likes of Churchill, trump,
Mandela, Branson, Sugar, Robinson, Lincoln, Radcliffe ? (I seem to have
included some British names. After all , this is Britt UK , not Britt USA !)
Of course there is always room for an excellent new book eg Copycat
Marketing, Beyond The Summit, or more from the British PMA writer Robin
Sieger. But I do feel that we could improve the overall quality of the
book education we put out to the organisation.
Thanks for listening !!

Hear hear
Viva la revolution and God Save the Queen.

Please note this communication has been sent in the following order to all Diamonds, Emeralds and Platinums.
Dear Leader
During
this week we are changing our AMIVO website, as part of the plan to
offer our Independent Business Owners and Members even more reason to
buy our great Amway products online.
We will be taking the
opportunity to accelerate our programme to move towards ‘Amway’
branding for our e-commerce websites, in line with existing European
strategy. ‘Amway’ branding of websites has already been successfully
achieved in 11 European countries, and will ultimately roll-out to all
European markets.
In the meantime, when visiting www.amivo.co.uk
you will be displayed a holding page, informing you about these changes
to the Amivo website. On this page, you will be able to click on the
link to be redirected to the Amway UK website (www.Amway.co.uk)- where you will be able to log-in to Amivo and find all of the support you have been enjoying as normal.
In
coming weeks, we look forward to sharing our new plans for our
websites, and what will be offered to all who want access to our
fantastic product range and business opportunity.
Yours Sincerely
Ben Woodward
