This is good news for Amway UK business owners for sure. However this Amway UK problem has gone on for a year. Surely the bonus money for the average Amway Business owner in the UK has gone down by more than 50% in that time period.

For those of you unaware, Amway Business Owners in the UK have not been able to sponsor anyone for the last year.

This doubling of bonus money is better than a sharp stick in the eye, but it doesn’t make up for a year of not being able to build your business. Good luck to those that have stuck it out in the UK.

Dear Leaders,

One year has passed since Amway took the action to suspend sponsoring. This was not an easy decision to make and was done in the interest of the long-term success of the business in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

We know the last 12 months have been very hard on many of you and we truly respect and appreciate your support, loyalty and gritty determination to grow and maintain your businesses under these difficult circumstances.

Some people have left but many of you have stayed with us. As a way to say ‘thank you’ for your commitment to Amway, we would like to announce the following:

For the months of May, June and July, we will DOUBLE your monthly core bonuses. This includes Performance, Leadership, Foster, Ruby and Pearl BONUSES.

We will not only DOUBLE your monthly bonuses but we will also Double any CVR you earn on your Customer Volume during the months of May, June and July.

We will be sending a separate mailing to all the CRC’s in your groups with the same offer of doubling their bonuses as long as they can maintain the 5 / £200(€300) Customer Volume requirement.

This is our simple way of saying “thank you” to you for your continued support and faith in Amway and your focus on helping us move the business forward to a brighter future.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Denham
General Manager & Director Amway UK / RoI Limited

I just ran across a site that features information about Amway product line Nutrilite as it relates to Leukemia, Gallstones and other diseases.

I suspect that Amway doesn’t want to walk the fine line this site is walking regarding illegal claims, here is an example:

For Leukemia disease, suggested Nutrilite to help supporting the patient condition are as follows:

* Double X, 2×3 tablets/day to satisfy the needs of micronutrients and antioxidant
* Protein Powder 2x(1-2) scoops/day to increase body immune and to repair the damaged tissues
* CH Balance with Green Tea Extract 2×1 softgels/day as anti cancer, antioxidant
* Natural Multi Carotene, Wheat Germ E, and Bio C Plus 3×1 tablets/day as antioxidant

The over/under on this site coming down is 3 days.  Place your wagers now.

AMWAY RETURNING TO NORTH AMERICA | Alticor Will Be Reintroducing the Amway Brand While Phasing Out Quixtar

In 1999 the Alticor Corporation launched a new business model to replace the old Amway model. This company was called Quixtar and was said to have been launched to coincide with taking this business online. But it had widely reported and speculated at the time it was done in an effort to curb the stigma associated with the Amway brand.

While there were some nice changes and product additions to the Quixtar model, it was still the same business plan, but worse yet, the same business leaders in the Amway Motivational Organizations.

MLM - Network Marketing Blog

ADA, Mich., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Quixtar
Inc. today announced fiscal 2007 sales of $1.072 billion, the fifth
consecutive year in which the company surpassed the billion-dollar
mark. The results represented a slight decline from the previous year’s
sales of $1.12 billion, which were the best in Quixtar’s nine-year
history.

Results were affected minimally by actions the company took to
terminate the business of a few Independent Business Owners in August
of 2007 after they refused to change unacceptable practices.

Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs) earned $363 million in
bonuses and other incentives for their business efforts in 2007, which
also included $70.1 million in sales at Quixtar’s Partner Stores.

In 2007, Quixtar launched a new line of nutritional snacks, juices
and supplements for busy families under the Simply Nutrilite(TM) brand,
as well as the new ARTISTRY(R) essentials line of skin care and
cosmetics products. Quixtar.com was redesigned to improve usability and
to better support IBO sales efforts, and Quixtar University was
launched to provide online and aided sales and brand training to help
IBOs build profitable businesses.

Since 1999, IBOs have earned nearly $2.6 billion based on total
Quixtar sales of more than $7.86 billion and Partner Store sales of
more than $577 million. Driven by its strong Health and Beauty brands,
Quixtar again was ranked #1 in online Health and Beauty sales by
Internet Retailer’s “Top 500 Guide” in 2007, and 22nd overall in
e-commerce.

“Our business is on the right path at the right time,” said Jim
Payne, Executive Vice President - Amway & Quixtar. “New leadership
was brought in this year with Steve Lieberman, the new Managing
Director for Quixtar who joined us in August. We also recently hired a
new VP of Sales, Sandy Spielmaker, who will have a tremendous impact on
our sales team.”

Plans were announced in 2007 to change the business opportunity
brand in North America to better leverage and align with Amway’s $7
billion global business.

“We’re working with IBOs to properly position our North American
business within the context of the larger Amway global brand,” said
Lieberman. “To better support IBO efforts, we are focusing in
particular on how consumers interact with our products and our brands.”

“Our goal is to provide the best business opportunity in North
America,” said Lieberman. “From products and IBO compensation to sales
training and marketing programs, everything we do in support of our
IBOs is being examined to ensure we achieve that goal.”
