ADA, Mich. (WOOD) - Historically, when times are tough, business is good for Amway. That is once again proving true. in the 50th year of their existence.

Alticor, the parent company of Amway, reported sales jumped 15% in 2008, with total sales of $8.2 billion. The largest part of their sales - 80% - came in foreign markets. Of their 59 worldwide affiliates, two-thirds reported an increase in sales, with much of the growth in Russia, China and India.

The Amway name is once again prominent. Advertising and marketing efforts increased, including high profile event sponsorships and television advertising.

Company leaders Steve Van Andel and Doug DeVos, the sons of the founders, also attribute the growth to other factors, including the rise in unemployment. People turn to Amway to become product distributors to make extra money.

A private company, they do not release financial numbers to the public

There are no immediate plans to expand in 2009, but a 50th anniversary celebration will include events in both Grand Rapids and Las Vegas in May.

Making Money with Your Amway Global Business.

You wouldn't consider your very own business unless it rewarded you for your time and effort. Put simply, the Amway Global Independent Business Owner (IBO) Compensation Plan rewards you for selling products and for sponsoring others as IBOs who will do the same.

You earn income from:

  • Retail markup* on product sales to customers
  • Monthly performance bonuses ranging from 3% to 25% of business volume depending on your monthly productivity
  • Monthly and annual leadership bonuses and other cash awards and business incentives based on group performance.

Simple Steps to Success
IBOs who grow the most successful businesses sell to non-IBO customers and sponsor, while experiencing the products by purchasing them for their own use.

Step 1: Learn. The only way to truly understand your products is to use them. Knowing what our products can do for you is important when presenting them as solutions for your customers. You'll also want to fully understand the compensation plan and Amway Global's business rules. Check out Amway Global University to see other training options we provide.

Step 2: Sell. As your product knowledge increases, you will discover people all around you who need what you have through your Amway Global business. Retail selling is the easiest way to make quick money through your Amway Global business.

Step 3: Sponsor. For some of your friends, products provide the solution they seek. For others, the Amway Global business opportunity will have strong appeal as they seek a business that can help them achieve their goals.
