7. Does Amway have any influence over a Business Owner's business?

Ans. To become an Amway Business Owner, an individual must sign an agreement to abide by Amway's Rules of Conduct. Each year, they voluntarily renew that promise when they renew their Amway business. Our Rules promote ethical direct selling principles and provide practical procedures for all Business Owners to observe in operating their Amway businesses. The Rules of Conduct, which are largely in accordance with local, legal requirements, mandate certain business practices to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations and to preserve harmony among Business Owners. Amway has the right to enforce these Rules through its contract with its Business Owners-up to and including terminating that contract.

8. Does Amway really give people more free time, or does it require a lot of time to succeed?

Ans. Like any small business, it takes hard work to succeed in the Amway business, and that requires time and commitment, especially in the beginning. Our research shows that most people understand this very well But the Amway business does offer flexibility for our Business Owners in running their business. Unlike most conventional jobs, Amway Business Owners can work at home, when they want, at their own pace, on their own schedule, according to the goals they have set for themselves. For some, that means if they need an afternoon to attend their child's school play, play golf or see a friend, they can arrange their work schedule to allow this. The choice of when, where and how much time to devote to their Amway business is theirs alone. This flexibility is one important reason why the opportunity appeals to so many people around the world.

9. Is product pricing competitive?

Ans. Our products are price-competitive and good value for the money. We know this from our market surveys, Business Owner feedback and, ultimately, by the sales growth of all our product lines over the years. Our data shows that while some of our products are more expensive than their counterparts, others are less expensive and most are competitively priced. Products that are more expensive usually have greater features and benefits over competitive goods. Many Amway TM products are highly concentrated, meaning a single purchase lasts longer. On a cost-per-use basis, these products are priced very competitively. It is also important to note that Amway Business Owners are selling more than just products-they're also selling an exceptional level of service. Amway products are delivered directly to the customer and are backed by the Amway Satisfaction Guarantee. Amway's extensive product line makes it possible for customers to do virtually all their shopping without leaving home or worrying about the hassles of returns. Their business owner does all the work for them. This convenience is very appealing to many of today's busy people, and for many it is worth a little bit more. The consumer is the ultimate judge of price and value, and our sales success over the years speaks volumes about our product value and customer satisfaction.

10. How do Amway products rank in comparative tests?

Ans. Amway products are rated very favourably for performance in various tests around the world. We are proud of our products and our commitment to research and development. Unlike other direct selling companies that use outside contractors to develop and manufacture most, if not all, of their products, we have our own extensive R&D and manufacturing facilities and make major investments each year in this area. We currently own more than 450 patents worldwide, and we currently employ more than 450 R&D professionals working in 65 labs around the world. Consumers are the ultimate judges of product quality. They may buy a product once, but if its quality and value don't measure up, they probably won't buy it again. Amway's own consumer research and sustained global success show that consumers think our products are top rate.

11. What does Amway see as the role of women in the Amway business?

Ans. The Amway business opportunity is open to everyone, regardless of gender, race, age, religion, or political or other personal beliefs. The Amway business appeals to women, men, couples, and families from all backgrounds. Amway has helped to empower millions of women around the world by offering them a low-cost, low-risk opportunity to achieve their goals by owning their own business. This fact is especially gratifying to us. There are countless examples of women who have achieved success in the Amway business.

12. Is Amway's business continuing to grow?

Ans. Yes. There remain many opportunities for Amway's business to grow. Amway has opened its business opportunity in many new countries in the past decade-over 35 since 1990. Continued development in these countries will fuel long-term growth. Amway will also continue to explore new opportunities for growth in well-established countries, including innovative products and new ways for people to become involved with Amway-as Business Owners, product retailers, or consumers. Right now, Amway is investing in enhancing and expanding our manufacturing and distribution facilities to support the growth we expect in the coming decades. The prospects for growth remain strong.

13. Is the business plan today as valid as it was over 40 years ago?
