New Founders Sapphire, Sharron and Kevin said watching their upline progress in Amway strengthened their belief that this business could work for them too. “Just like we watched them go from strength to strength in their businesses, our team gets to watch us move forwards from Sapphire to Founders Sapphire. It makes them believe that if we can do it, they can too,” said Sharron. “The groundwork had been laid for us thanks to the effort we had put into the business in our earlier years. We were confident we could achieve Founders Sapphire once the goal had been set. Acting and thinking like leaders to set the right example for our team and helping them develop their own leadership skills helped us reach our goal,” explained Sharron.

New Sapphires Lynn and Craig said choosing to start an Amway business remains the best financial and business decision they’ve ever made. Their business helped the couple rebuild their lives and a new home after experiencing financial losses. “We’ll be moving into our home in November 2022. Having the financial rewards make it so much easier to shop for all new furniture and taken so much stress away. We’ve managed to take ‘short break’ holidays too and sharing some of these lifestyle benefits with our family,” said Lynn. Looking back to when they started in the business, Lynn and Craig have learnt a lot.

“We’ve left our old ways of working behind and embraced being open to new learnings. We seek out our upline’s guidance to help us stay on track. We remain expectant of what’s possible for us, and never lose sight of our dreams that drive us forward,” they said. “Facebook and Messenger are an important part of our prospecting process. We stay connected daily with our teams via phone, Zoom and group chats like WhatsApp. We also use Zoom for business meetings.” “Amway’s development of online product training has been phenomenal. We’re active on the Amway website every day and attend as many online or webinar product events as possible,” said Craig.

“A key strategy is to lead the team towards the tools available for them to build their business instead of us simply giving them the tools – whether it’s how to find people to share the business with or stay updated with the latest trainings. We’ve found greater success by getting the team to use the tools for themselves because it builds their confidence in running their own businesses,” they said.

Being focused on people is what Sharron calls, ‘the heartbeat of her business.’

guidance, technology is also critical to their business’s success.

“It all comes down to communication and being open and accessible to whoever needs help or motivation. We use WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger groups to build our communities, so everyone feels supported and works together to achieve whatever goals they have,” said Sharron. The couple believe that their business’s ability to switch so easily online drove their success faster. “From the ARTISTRY app to tools found in education modules to access to Amway’s naturopaths, it all works together seamlessly to help us continue our daily business activities online, instead of just face to face like it used to be.”

What strategies did they use to achieve Sapphire?

“We set our goals and held on to them. Then, we defined the actions we needed to take and took daily action towards the goal. Staying close to our upline has been vital to guide us on our strategies. We learnt everything we could about leadership and worked towards becoming better leaders,” said Lynn.
