Hey Now! Nice to see ya again. Have you checked out my sister site, MLM Blog?
In the August issue of Achieve Magazine, Quixtar’s (Amway Global – North America’s) recognition and information periodical, the company reported nine new Platinums.
A Q-12 Platinum in Quixtar earns an average of $47,472 (before taxes and expenses) and it is safe to say that the majority of Platinums do not qualify as Q-12 Platinums, so the true average for these Platinums is going to be significantly less (probably more than $10,000 less).
When I was involved with Amway in the 90′s there would be pages and pages of new Platinums in the magazine, (at the time the magazine was called the Amagram). It would be safe to say that ten times the number of Platinums would be posted in a given month.
To understand how bad things are at Amway Global (Quixtar) right now, Amway Global in North America has been hovering around the Billion dollar a year level in sales for the last 5 years with somewhere in the neighborhood of 800,000 IBOs involved. To only have 9 new Platinums out of 800,000 IBOs is horrible.



I wonder how many former platinums fell out of qualification in the same time that the nine news platinums emerged?

Come on Ty.
You and I both know that the other 799,991 are Diamonds or above.
Ty,
Since you used to be an IBO in the Amway/Quixtar business, you know that the Achieve Magazine does not list the Platinums in the month they qualify.
It’s based on logistics, like getting their picture taken for the magazine and attending the all-expense-paid Platinum Conference.
I’m looking at the current issue, October 2008, and their are sixty-one (61) new Platinumships pictured.
