Your success lies in the balanced approach you have towards building the business.

A successful Amway business is a balanced business in terms of retailing Amway products and introducing and sponsoring others to be Amway IBOs. It's this balance between retailing and sponsoring, combined with your compliance with Amway's Rules of Conduct and your commitment to the founding principles of Amway, that will underwrite your success as an IBO.

By sponsoring others and helping them find that balance, you'll influence the success of their businesses and multiply your own efforts and business turnover. While sponsoring enables you to duplicate your success, it also brings with it significant responsibilities. These duties are detailed in Section 5 of the Rules of Conduct and include:
  • Provide all IBOs that he/she sponsors with an unaltered Business kit (Tier 1 & 2)
  • Be an Amway IBO in good standing and meet all IBO requirements as set forth in the rules.
  • Train and motivate personally sponsored IBOs, or being available to do so.
  • Must not represent that there is an employment relationship between himself/herself and the IBOs he/she sponsors.
  • Encourage his personally sponsored IBOs to attend Amway meetings and other functions.
  • Ensure that personally sponsored IBOs comply with the standards set forth in the Rules.
  • Promote and ensure that their IBOs are using the 'Leave Behind Brochure'
  • Promote the '10 Customer Rule' to their personally sponsored IBOs.
In the event a sponsor ceases to be an authorised IBO, the rights to any IBOs whom he may have sponsored shall pass up to the next authorised IBO in his/her line of sponsorship.

The relationship between sponsor and IBO continues to remain fundamental to the growth of any IBO's business.
