How do you generate income in Amway?

As an Amway Direct Seller, you can earn money by retailing Amway Products to the consumers. You can
also register consumers as your preferred customer who can order and receive products directly through
Amway. You can also introduce new people to the business and create a sales team that can replicate the
above activities and earn money.
In the Amway business you can earn money, get recognition, and also get invitation for business trips by
selling quality Amway products.

1. The first way that you can earn money is through retail margin which is the difference between
your selling price and your purchase price also known as DAP. As an Amway Direct Seller, you
determine the price you charge up to Maximum retail price or MRP for the products. When you
sell products to customers above DAP, you keep the retail margin.

2. The second way that you can earn money is through Trade Discount, given to Amway Direct
Sellers when you purchase products from Amway for retailing.

3. The third way to earn money is through the Distributor Sales plan. Amway offers an attractive
reward program to recognize and reward your hard work and achievements. You generate points
on products purchased to sell. The commissions that Amway gives are based on the points
generated through product sales by you and the sales team that you may build. There are various
types of commission that can be earned.

Amway India Sales & Marketing Plan

As mentioned earlier, you generate points on products purchased to sell. The more products you sell, the
more points you generate, the more commission you earn. For example, if you and your sales team
generate 100 points, you get a monthly commission of 6%. If you and your team generate 500 points you
get a monthly commission of 9%. The percentage commission increases as you generate more points and
goes up to 21%.

However, important to know that commissions only get generated when you sell Amway products.
Amway does not pay any commission for the sheer act of building the sales team without any product
sales.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY Amway.
EFFORT The above example is a symbolic depiction of income earned in a month. Actual income is dependent on Individual Sales & that of ABOs in the team (basis the published
performance commission schedule), and PreferredMG16 Customer purchases. Retail profit is assumed as 9% in this example.

** excluding Taxes and discounts
The screen shows an example where you have achieved 6% commission level in the Amway business and
have a sales team and some preferred customer. You have sold products worth 50 points and your team
has team members A and B who have sold products of 50 and 60 points respectively. You have also some
preferred customers or PCs who have bought products worth 10 points. Your total team points are 170.
The commissions that you earn are Personal Performance commission which is for the points that you
have earned and Sales commission which is for the points that your team has earned. Along with that,
you also earn the Retail Profit and the Trade Discounts for eligible orders. In this case the total earnings
are Rs. 1208 excluding the trade discount that you get.
