EspañolBILL BRITT
'Bill Britt' is one of the most successful Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in the Amway/Quixtar business. In 2002, together with his wife Peggy Britt, qualified for the corporations highest award; Founders Crown Ambassador. As of 2007 he was serving as a Presidents Cabinet Representative on the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOA International) Board.[1]
Bill Britt registered with Amway in 1970, in the downline of Dexter Yager. In the Amway business every new IBO is sponsored by an existing IBO. The downline of an IBO refers to the people sponsored by him, people sponsored by those he sponsored, and so on.
Bonuses to an IBO are based on sales of his own as well as his those of his downlines.
Britt was a Diamond as of 1973, Crown Ambassador as of 1996 and Founders Crown Ambassador as of 2002.
In 1981 he split from the organization of Dexter Yager and started his own motivational organization called the Britt World Wide (BWW). Britt is one of the most well known IBOs in the business. Amway co-founder Richard DeVos in his book ''Compassionate Capitalism''[2] says "''Britt has gone on to become one of the greatest mentors in the history of our company''".
The Britt World Wide (BWW), like several other IBO Organizations helps Amway/Quixtar IBOs in Britt's downline to grow their businesses, by providing them with training and motivation through books, tapes and seminars. A big number of people in his downline are in the downline of Indian Diamonds Kanti & Hemi Gala. They have separated from BWW and started their own motivational organization called Winners International.
A common characteristic of several IBO Support Organizations, including BWW, is that besides the bonuses on sale of Amway products, IBOs, after reaching higher levels receive bonuses on sale of motivational products like books, tapes, seminar tickets etc. There are allegations that most income of some high level IBOs comes from this ''support'' business rather than the Amway business.[3] Other allegations of cult-like relationships being created in these organizations are made by exit-counselor Steve Hassan on his website "Freedom of Mind".
Amway/Quixtar and some high level IBOs like Britt came under attack due to the Dateline NBC reporting regarding the motivation business and cult-like activities.[3]
Britt and Yager were the two main IBOs named in the Forbes magazine article criticizing the business for its cult-like characteristics and for making a few people rich at the cost of the rest.[5]
Britt and Yager were served a class action lawsuit by five former IBOs who accused them of making false claims about potential income of IBOs, importance of motivational materials and links between Amway and other large corporations.[6][7]
In the 1998 Woods v. Amway case number CV98-511 in the Circuit Court of Lauderdale County, Alabama, Amway and several of its IBOs including Britt are accused by David Woods and Yan Woods of fraud with the motivation business, breach of contract in Amway enforcing its rules, civil conspiracy in the tools business, and tortuous interference with business relationships.
In 2003 he the victim in what was described as the largest financial fraud case in North Carolina history.[8]
