Amway India Response To MonaVie Case

The following email sent by Amway to all Emeralds and up in India a couple of weeks ago regarding the situation with Sajeev Nair and MonaVie
Dear Leaders,
Greetings from Amway India !!!!
As you are aware by now, Amway India had its biggest sales month in September’11 when we had Rs.251 crore of sales. With such excitement & momentum, I am not only confident of achieving our Goal of Rs 2500 cr by 2012, but also convinced that we will attain higher GOALS in the years to come.
We have introduced several “Positive Changes” in the business from November 1st that would further fuel our growth & offer a safer future for our ABOs. These revisions have been accepted very well by leadership all around.
With growth, we also attract attention of various entities. One of them can be competing organizations who claim to be ‘Just Like Amway’business opportunities. Amway India & the Direct Selling Industry is poised for huge growth in years to come, which pulls organizations to get a share of this growing market. While we appreciate healthy competition, it is unfortunate that some organizations choose improper & dishonorable methods to grab business & get a foothold in the market. We have reasons to believe that such ‘Copycat Businesses’ with shallow income opportunities have been targeting YOUR line of sponsorship to build THEIR business. They are really not competitors but actually “predators”.
I wanted to take this opportunity to advise you on expected launch of a company in the Direct Selling market in India and what activities are currently taking place openly & surreptitiously, leading up to this launch.
INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE

SOME POSSIBLE ISSUES / CONCERNS
Some senior leaders in the Amway India business have had certain issues with Amway India in the recent past, for which the company had to take deterrent action against them due to violations in the Rules of Conduct. As you know, Amway is very fair in dealing with any & all types of Rules Violations and did not hesitate to take the necessary action for the violations made, despite the pin level & status of the leaders. Some of these senior Amway leaders have not been in active Amway business building post these actions taken against them by Amway, and it is very likely, that owing to their high status, they were looking at “other” avenues to make “QUICK MONEY”.
We have been informed, that certain ABOs holding very high pin levels in the Amway India business have been persuaded by this company to join them. We have received several complaints in the recent weeks that some of these leaders have been enticing their LOS’s and some crossline LOS’s (possibly yours too) join this company. We strongly believe that these senior Amway leaders have been enticed with some amount of money to shift their loyalty to them and bring in as many ABOs from Amway as possible. These Amway Leaders are conducting meetings in several cities across in India trying to promote this new company by spreading several rumours against Amway like
- Amway is changing its business model and will open retail shops – this will kill the opportunity for ABOs
- Amway has sold its Nutrilite farms
- Amway Founders have sold their stake in the company
- Amway India will close down in another two years.
- Some senior official(s) from Amway are joining this company
- It is OK to do the Amway business & the “other” business while promoting the same within your LOS and in crossline organizations.
ACTIONS TAKEN TO PROTECT THE BUSINESS & ABO’s
Show Cause notices have been sent to these Senior leaders who have been found to be enticing Amway ABOs to join this new company. They have been declared as “Not in Good Standing with Amway”. A full-fledged investigation is on against the activities of these senior leaders. The downline Platinums of these Senior leaders have been advised of their upline activities Silver Producer & above meetings are being conducted in all the affected states to explain the real facts of the situation. All discretionary benefits have been withheld for these ABO’s. Their access to all internal systems has been blocked.
It is with great pride that we share that 99% of the leadership have re-iterated their belief, faith & loyalty in Amway, its values & principles. I would like to clarify that all rumours spread by these
Senior Leaders about the future about Amway are false & misleading and made with the intent to entice more ABOs to join the new company, from where, we believe, they have a lot to gain in monetary terms for getting more people to join the company. Amway has never in it’s rich 52 years history changed it’s operating model nor will ever do so in future. I would also like to re-iterate that Amway will not hesitate to take appropriate action on any ABO found enticing another Amway ABO(s) to join this company, which may include immediate suspension & withdrawal of all discretionary benefits, because they will no longer be “In Good Standing with Amway”
WHAT WE EXPECT YOU TO DO IN THIS SITUATION
- Brief the leaders in your teams about the situation.
- Ensure that ABOs in your LOS are not distracted by news about this new company
- Even if there has been no enticement in your LOS, you may alert the leadership to insulate their downlines from possible enticement
- No ABO should be over-whelmed by the stature of the Amway leaders who are telling Amway ABOs to shift to this new company
- Report any enticement or any other activity related to this new company to your Business Development Manager
I wish to re-iterate that Amway, its Founders, the management in India & U.S.. stands fully & strongly behinds our Founding principles, values & ethics. We will deal fairly with all ABOs, irrespective of their pin level and provide a level playing field to all ABOs and protect the business interests of all ABOs, now & in the future. We have faced such challenges in the past & emerged “STRONGER” on each occasion; at this time also we stand strongly behind our plan, our products and YOU, people who make Amway the best business opportunity in the world.
To strengthen our position in the Direct Selling Industry in India, on Monday, Nov 7th, Amway will commence a National Advertisement campaign to highlight, in a positive way, the changes implemented on Nov 1st, pan India. The advertisement is simple, yet impactful and will run across the country on both the 7th and 14th of Nov
Our business in 2011 is expected to close 20% higher than the previous year. 2012 has the strongest ‘new’ product launch schedule ever……..and this is backed up by a powerful promotional program, a robust and expanded Amway / Nutrilite & Beauty Brand Building / Advertising campaign…….plus serious expansion of our infrastructure and physical presence across India. Not to mention the 3rd year of the GIP, Melbourne Mega Leadership seminar, Diamond Invitational trip to London in May, Family ALS trip announcement in August 2012 etc. So……..a LOT of exciting things happening right now and planned for next year!
I strongly urge you to stay focused on building your Amway business and changing your life & that of many others……because WE ARE AMWAY…..we are NOT JUST LIKE AMWAY.

Rajneesh Chopra

Hi Ted,
A wide range of accusations about the ethics and morals of a carefully un-named company, the really sad part is that most of the charges are probably true.
There is a point at which healthy competition becomes naked greed for profit by using smash and grab tactics to gain a short term advantage, especially where they urgently need to keep opening new markets to cover loss of market share in their home market.
Every Distributor whatever their pin level should have the absolute right to change companies but it’s important those decisions sre made on accurate information, not influenced by malicious and unfounded rumour promoted by those who do not have their best interests at heart.
This is a wonderful industry offering huge rewards for ambitious open, honest and ethical business builders, let’s keep it that way.

Amways, MonaVie ………….
product based companies are just like selling somethings.. .. to me both are equal 😀
Buddy do you know anything About Amway or how it works? Don’t make a comment on something you are not even aware of
Alitttle competition and you start to complain. Same on you.
I was in AMWAY/Quixtar for many years at platinum and up levels and if you are reading this my recommendation is to get OUT Fast. I am not a rep of any company in India but I am in America and the longer you stay with AMWAY the more they think of you as there PROPERTY!! Read Read there rules of conduct. They basically own you, if not why do they have non compete agreements if they are so good. Amway will put rules in place to fence in what is left, just like they did in the america.
Patterns and business models are bound to change as human beings progress. Changes in external environment will affect any business, anywhere in the world. Changes in technology also will affect any business anywhere in the world. Changes are inevitable.
Do change according to changing situations.
No use in crying about foul play / poaching etc. If the distributors of any company are satisfied, they will never leave. If they are not satisfied, they are bound to leave, whether it is Amway or RMP.
More companies like Nuskin, Usana etc are yet to enter. They will also take their part of the market pie.
Litigation/lawsuits bring no result. Take a step backward, pause for a moment, make the necessary changes and move ahead. India can accommodate many numbers of Amway s, RMPs, Monavie s etc. … etc …
Request all the MLM giants to stop mud slinging and focus on business. Companies should not make themselves vulnerable by infighting when governments and police mechanism in many states are overactive, making use of a situation where laws are not yet being formed for MLM in India. Cheers !!! Let us focus on work.
AMWAY IS A GREAT ESTABLISHED GIANT PIONEER MLM COMPANY BUT NOT IN THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH,NO NEW INNOVATIONS THAT CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF THE NEW GENERATION 2012, THE TIME HAS BEEN GONE BECAUSE WE CANNOT OBTAIN A LEGACY POSITION IN AMWAY, 2012 TIME IS NOT RIGHT TO JOIN AMWAY BECAUSE IT WILL NOT HELP TO CREATE WEALTH IN THIS NEW ECONOMY IN INDIA NOR HELP TO GET SUSTAIN PERMANENT PASSIVE RESIDUAL INCOME IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET SUCCESS. TODAY’S GENERATION IS A GENERATION OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA AND NOT ONE-ON-ONE STP’S. IN INDIA WE NEED NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO COME LIKE MONA.VIE.
i agree with sudesh m jadhav , amway has reached in a phase of saturation in india. now the condition is that only for products use u can join amway but if u talk for buisiness then there is no place for amway . take a little example and do it on yourself just talk for 10 peoples anout joining of amway out of 10 9 or even 10 will not attend your call again . this is the situation of amway in india. so those who wishes mlm buisiness product based company MONAVIE IS BEST RIGHT NOW.
U r right Dr.Rajesh……..definitely MONAVIE IS BEST RIGHT NOW but will NOT ALWAYS as this is a plan to fool ppl around and make money out of there pockets and then run away just Like a few examples of RMP,RCM,Tulip etc etc etc….so there are a lot of MONAVIE type company in the market but as is evident from the letter of Rajneesh Chopra aboveyou cant b just like AMWAY you have to b AMWAY……
hai friends..attention please……i have read many comments in this page regarding amway and monavie, some leaders says monavie is best and some says amway is the best. but friends i tell you all these both companies are best………why u fight with each other? we are not owners of these companies. we are just a business man. think like a businessman. dont motivate to peoples just tell them reallity. peoples are not fool they are intelligent. amway products are good as like monavie products also good but just tell me what is the customers retantion rate about these companies products. i tell you maximum all mlm companies products customers retantion rate is only 20% i am not telling negitivity friends it is truth of mlm industry.
But Friends i have know one product that’s customers retaintion rate is 80% in market.& that product is not want it is need for everyone…..and earning possibilities are sky is the limit…..speciallity about this product is you not do business this product is easily make business for you….amazing then send me your email id to me at: 08792699768 and watch all information like ppt, videos with free mind. after then call me about doubts and for joining……
