People being sponsored by a current Distributor can choose either to become a Distributor who will actively embark on running his/her Amway business, or to become a Privileged Member who will simply purchase Amway products for self-consumption. However, these two states are mutually convertible depending on circumstances and their needs.
A Privileged Member ( PM ) can opt to convert into a Distributor anytime in accordance with his/her intention to further develop his/her career. Apart from purchasing and using Amway products, PMs can share their experiences in using Amway products with friends and invite them to become Privileged Members as well. Therefore, PMs are in fact serving such as the medium of communication between consumers and Distributors that more people are given chances to choose between the two different states according to the circumstances
they are under.
