CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Hello Everyone!

Springtime signifies the season of new beginnings. As Covid has become less of a threat, we are able to take pause and thankfully look beyond this past year and embrace this season of renewal and our future.

We are very encouraged with the transformation Amway is making towards shaping an even greater Business model. Our IBOAI staff, Board members, and IBO North American Leaders have been working diligently with Amway Executives and staff to progress and secure the future of Amway and its IBOs for generations to come.

Some of the highlights of our most recent accomplishments are as follows:

1. The creation of Opportunity Messaging
2. PV/BV Uplift on All VCS Orders
3. Reclassification
4. Enhanced Fast Track Program
5. Additional Growth Incentives for Platinums
6. Products that are cleaner and more environmentally friendly
7. Product traceability
8. Products that are cutting edge, priced well, and can be door openers for our clients
9. The Virtual Toolbox

We are excited about all of these additions and will continue to modify, add to, and enhance our Business.

Since 1959, the IBOAI and its members primary focus has been to represent the interests of all IBOs. I am proud to serve as your Chairman.

Enjoy a beautiful Spring and Summer and all of our new beginnings!

God Bless,

Vinny Pappalardo,
Chairman of the IBOAI

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Diamonds Connect Virtually to Accelerate Business, Celebrate Success

In the midst of a pandemic, when normal ways of doing business were challenged, IBO Leaders demonstrated there are no challenges too big to overcome in achieving success in this Business. Through innovation, creativity, and commitment, North American Diamonds led with conviction and courage. Their accomplishments were celebrated in a virtual Business Meeting in February 2021. Of special note, there were 11 new, first-time Diamonds and two Founders Crowns celebrated this year.

Diamonds’ success was impressive and inspiring – in fact, it would have been such in a normal year – as Andrew Schmidt, Managing Director of Amway North America, pointed out at the beginning of the meeting. He reported, “The pandemic may have changed the way you did business, but it didn’t slow you down. In 2020, you achieved the highest sales since 1999 in North America.”

Doug DeVos and Steve Van Andel conveyed their pride and gratitude to the Diamonds for their pioneering spirit and incredible accomplishments. Milind Pant, Amway Chief Executive Officer, offered congratulations, citing the leadership demonstrated during 2020 was heartfelt, energetic and optimistic, “ ... just as Rich and Jay would do. The last time North America grew at 10% was 21 years ago!”

Milind Pant mentioned two important trends this Business is able to fulfill: People are in search of support, security, a sense of community (the Business opportunity) – and younger people consider long-term health and wellness a priority (Nutrilite™ and XS™). All someone needs to become an IBO is “passion, a positive attitude and a mobile phone.”

Rajneesh Chopra, ANA Vice President of Sales, said, “The spectacular accomplishments achieved during 2020 will always hold a special significance.” Several Diamonds appeared on screen citing specific reasons why their Businesses stayed strong and grew during a challenging year: “Positive attitude.” “Amazing team.” “Cultivating through a terrain of difficulties.” “Embracing technology.” “This Business can be done anywhere, anytime.” “We are a Business of hope.” Representing the IBOAI, Jody & Kathy Victor and Vinny & Dayna Pappalardo spoke briefly in celebration of what has been accomplished through partnership with the Corporation – and the exciting new products and programs coming in 2021.

Rajneesh also shared great news for Amway North America. Requalification rates were up in 2020! And, as a fantastic start to 2021, tracking is up at every level. The goal is to register more customers and increase customer sales. According to Rajneesh, it is happening!

Kelli Templeton, ANA Chief Marketing Officer, had plenty of exciting news to share on what has been and is being developed to help IBOs deliver a best-in-class experience for customers. My Shop digital storefronts, AmPerks™ program, and the on-site Share feature are a hit with IBOs and customers. Kelli announced there are many new things coming out in 2021, and three game changers in driving customer sales are n by Nutrilite™ Turmeric gummies for healthy aging, Artistry skin nutrition™ for transformative skin health, and XS™ Sparkling Plus waters.

In closing, John Parker, Chief Sales Officer and Regional President West, said, “We need to double down on our partnership and commitment to each other. Let’s work together to craft and design our future. Together, we can make this Business even stronger, even better for you and future generations. I am excited and optimistic about the future. You can count on us. We are here for you.”
