Team Beachbody Review – Is it Worth The Investment?

Charles Lenoir / October 12, 2015

What is this Beachbody review all about? Well if you’re reading this then you are probably conducting research because you have an interest in the Beachbody products and services or joining the business opportunity better known as the Team Beachbody.

If that is the case, just keep reading!

This is an unbiased Team Beachbody Business Opportunity Review. I will attempt to provide enough factual information about the Company, Product(s), and Compensation plan for you to be able to make an informed decision.

NOTE: Unbiased (meaning I am not a distributor of their products/services and I do not promote their business opportunity). Your decision to join or not join the Team Beachbody business opportunity is entirely up to you.

So let’s get to it shall we?

Company Profile – Background and History

COMPANY NAME: Beachbody, LLC
INDUSTRY: Health & Fitness
FOUNDERS: Carl Daikeler (CEO) and Jon Congdon (President)
COST: Initially $39.95 and then $15.95 (monthly)
WEBSITE: Teambeachbody.com Network Marketing Arm & Beachbody.com (Corporate)
REACH: USA & Canada only

According to their website,

Beachbody is a successful 10-year-old, $250+ million corporation based in Southern California. Founded in 1998 by Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon, Beachbody, LLC, operates Beachbody.com and TeamBeachbody.com.

The Santa Monica, California-based company is the creator of the nation’s most popular fitness and weight loss products—high-quality, well-manufactured DVD workout programs, gear, and nutritional supplements that have been proven to work.

Beachbody’s Mission Statement:

To help people achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives

In 2007 Team BeachBody was launched, and has since served as the network marketing arm of the business. TeamBeachbody.com, includes a network of thousands of independent “Coach” distributors as well as a dynamic online support and fitness community.

What Are the Beachbody Products?

Fitness and weight loss products including P90X^®, INSANITY^®, Brazil Butt Lift^®, Slim in 6^®, Turbo Jam^®, and Hip Hop Abs^® among many others. Beachbody^® programs combine challenging DVD-based workouts with easy-to-follow diet guidelines, nutritional supplements (including its breakthrough health shake called Shakeology^®, (AKA “The Healthiest Meal of the Day^®“) and the clinically proven 21-day cleanse known as the Ultimate Reset^®, and an unparalleled customer service and peer-support system.

How to promote the products

Beachbody spends millions of dollars every week advertising their home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen their infomercials for programs such as P90X, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs, as well as our magazine and Internet ads.)

Team Beachbody Coaches are taught Warm Market Prospecting techniques and to take orders from family, friends and coworkers etc.

Beachbody also promotes its products with the Beachbody Challenge, a weight-loss and physical fitness goals oriented program designed to reward those with the best transformations achieved over a specified time period.

Some representatives also promote their products through social media and use of the internet.

The problem that most Team Beachbody representatives are facing is that after they go through their family and friends they run out of people to speak to about the business.

Once you run out of to the right of friends and family to sell to then what do you do?

Let me continue with this Team Beachbody review and I will show you exactly how you can make more money and sales with your new Beachbody business.

The Compensation Plan

The Team Beachbody compensation plan is actually a network marketing binary plan.

NOTE: A network marketing Binary Plan is a compensation plan in which distributors are placed in a binary (two legged) tree structure, or a left and a right subtree in the organization. It pays to infinite downline. That means that a member will be paid by downline, even if the downline are 15 level deep in your structure. It is the most popular plan among network marketing companies, network marketers, part-timers and members who want to earn through network marketing business.

You must be both Active to be eligible to earn and receive commissions.

How Team Beachbody defines an active coach:

Active – A coach achieves Active Status by (a) accumulating and maintaining a total of 50 or greater Personal Volume (PV) within the Bonus Qualification Period; (b) accumulating and maintaining 50 or greater PV within the Bonus Qualification Period from your personal Home Direct orders; or (c) becoming a new Coach by directly responding to the Beachbody Coach Business Opportunity offer for the initial Bonus Qualification Period (i.e., solely for the new Coach’s first 35 days).

The two primary ways to earn money within the Team Beachbody compensation plan are selling: 1) BeachBody products and 2) Team Beachbody membership subscriptions.

Personal Selling

Retail commissions are paid out weekly on the sale of BeachBody products to retail customers.

The commission pay out is 25 percent of the retail sales price of the product and coaches earn a 15 percent commission on products they sell to personally enrolled Team Beachbody Club Members

Any Challenge Packs sold to retail customers attract the following once-off bonuses:

Challenge Pack $140 – $40 commission
Challenge Pack $160 – $50 commission
Challenge Pack $180 – $60 commission
Challenge Pack $205 – $70 commission
Challenge Pack $220 – $80 commission
Challenge Pack $245 – $80 commission
Challenge Pack $305 – $105 commission

Team Selling – Team Beachbody Club Membership Ranks

Coaches will earn a 40 percent commission on the sales and renewals of new Team Beachbody Club memberships.

NOTE: Coaches with customers who have enrolled in the Team Beachbody Club prior to March 11, 2015 will continue to earn a 50 percent commission on those enrollments for the duration of the customer’s paid club subscription.

Also Note that Team BeachBody membership is not affiliate membership, but rather a community within the BeachBody customer-base.

These Club membership commissions are paid weekly.

There are eighteen membership ranks within the Team BeachBody compensation plan, 15 of which are Diamond Star ranks. Listed below are the criteria to qualify for each:

ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS OR RED FLAGS ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY?

At this time I have no concerns or major issues with this company. Beachbody, LLC is actually a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business since 02/21/2002.

At the time of this post there were 486 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years and 283 closed in last 12 months.

The majority of the complaints (216) were Billing/Collections issues.

The second highest number of complaints was 176 focused on Products/Services.

Their current BBB rating is:

Since this is a comprehensive Team Beachbody Business Opportunity review I have listed the pros as well as the cons below:

The Pros

Upfront commissionable income on new product sales.
Product & Brand Recognition – Fitness products are promoted on television and recognized by many.
Residual income opportunity on product orders (autoship).
Multiple ways to get paid through Personal Selling or Team Building.
Stability – Beachbody, LLC has been in business over 10 years.
Monthly Business Service Fee Waived for Military on Active Duty.
Coach Business Starter Kit & Monthly Coach Business Services Fee Waived for bonafide Non-Profit organizations.
Bonuses and Awards. Fast Start Bonuses, Team Cycle Bonuses, Incentive Trips. In addition to to the above compensation, Team Beachbody has bonus opportunities and recognition programs available to its coaches.

The Cons

Must maintain at least 50 PV a month to qualify for commissions..
Requires that you have 50 PV, and have one (1) personally sponsored Active Coach (or higher) on his right and left legs before eligible to receive commissions from your downline (team activity).
Production based comp plan that will require heavy recruiting and building large teams to sustain and maximize income potential.
Hierarchical requirements make the higher ranks exceptionally harder to achieve, including those ranks that are most likely to produce a comfortable living income.
The founder of Beachbody has stated that the average life of being a Beachbody Coach is only 18 months. The average earning of a “Retail-Seller Coach” for 2014-2015 was $550.
Restricted Market: Business opportunity only available in USA & Canada.
Compensation Plan Restrictions for Higher Ranks: To qualify for the Star Diamond Leadership Bonus Pools as shown above, eligible Coaches at the 5, 10 and 15 Star Diamond

Is the Team Beachbody business opportunity right for YOU?

If you are interested in promoting/selling health and fitness products then Team Beachbody may be a good fit for you!

To join Team Beachbody and become a sales representative you must purchase the Business Starter Kit for $39.95 at sign up.

A kit contains a Welcome Book, a CD/DVD with “sharing videos”, instructions for holding “great events” and “support materials you’ll need.

Kit also includes membership to Team Beachbody online community.

You can sign up with a personal sponsor or you can sign up online.

After signing up you will be provided catalogs and your very own company reciprocated website with a back office.

Once you’re registered as a independent representative, you can start building your Team Beachbody business.

Note: The optional purchase of a Challenge Pack can raise the cost of basic Team BeachBody affiliate membership to as much as $305.

WARNING: 95% of Team Beachbody Coaches FAIL!

Beachbody its a fact that an overwhelming majority will lose money and never achieve the financial freedom they dream about.

According to Beachbody’s Statement of Independent Coach Earnings for the fiscal year ending Dec. 26, 2015 Beachbody admits that 45% of all Coaches did not receive a commission or bonus check from Team Beachbody and this is based solely on coaches enrolled for a one year period.

69% of Coaches are in the lowest rank of Coach, the “Retail Sellers” rank. Only 3% of Coaches are in the highest “Star Diamond” ranks.

But, within the Star Diamond rank, there are an additional fifteen levels. The percentage of coaches in the highest rank is actually smaller than 3%.

The truth is most Team Beachbody coaches will never achieve financial freedom or the level of success they desire.

Hard work and dedication will only get you so far.

That is only one part of the strategy for success.

The other part that is not often discussed is having the right mindset, training and marketing tools in place – preferably before you join or shortly thereafter!

Quite frankly, if you are new to direct sales or an inexperienced marketer chances are you will become frustrated and quit 90-120 days after joining unless you take the time to invest in and develop the necessary marketing skills you need to avoid becoming a failure statistic.

Not investing in the proper marketing training and marketing tools is why most Team Beachbody coaches don’t see results and ultimately fail!

If you do not have the money to invest in your personal education in order to develop the skills necessary you are already in trouble.

Yes, being your own boss sounds great until you realize how much work and additional money it really takes to be successful.

Please don’t be a fool.

Network marketing is a lot of hard work!

But if you are willing to labor in the vine yard consistently for 3-5 years the rewards and the benefits are incredible!

So Can I Make Money With Beachbody?

Yes, as with any network marketing business opportunity you can make money with Team Beachbody.

How much money will be totally up to YOU!

The challenge with Team Beachbody and any other direct sales or network marketing company for that matter is that simply joining Team Beachbody will not automatically make you money or successful.

At the end of the day, your success will depend on your ability to generate an endless flow of high quality leads.

But here is absolutely the best part of this Team Beachbody business opportunity review.

I will not only share with you how you can make money from your Team Beachbody business but exactly what the top leaders are doing to earn 6 figure incomes.

Working with Beachbody can be highly profitable, but also competitive. So how do you set yourself apart from all the rest and become a top producer for Beachbody ?

Well, it’s a combination of 3 fundamental things, and yes, they are listed in order of importance:

#1 The right LEADERSHIP
#2 The right TRAINING
#3 The right TOOLS

As an Beachbody coach, you have your typical sponsor or upline leaders who are essentially responsible for teaching you how to succeed.

Unfortunately with Beachbody, too many upline leaders are stuck in a traditional mentality of teaching old school marketing tactics that worked 30-40 years ago, but have since been out-dated.

To become a TOP PRODUCER for Beachbody, or any other network marketing company, you need to acquire these 3 things I’ve just outlined for you above:

– With the right LEADERS, you can learn what it truly takes to be successful by modelling your Beachbody business after the business of your coach or mentor.
– With the right TRAINING, you can acquire the skills and knowledge to become the most sought after Beachbody coach.
– With the right TOOLS, you can put together a marketing system that will fuel the engine of your Beachbody business, like a well oiled machine.

The reason so many people struggle with Beachbody is NOT because of the company or the product. In fact, they’ve been around for a long time and have had success with their product line around the world.

But simply put, you need to learn how to effectively market your Beachbody products to the right people, at the right time and in the right way. It’s really that simple.

You can have tremendous success selling Beachbody (either offline, online or both) and build a highly lucrative home business just like you always wanted. But it will take dedication on your part, and a commitment to follow the 3 steps I’ve outlined for you.

Ready to learn how TOP PRODUCERS are generating 20+ LEADS PER DAY? These skills are absolutely essential, as you will have difficulty monetizing your Team Beachbody business if you are not pulling in leads in the DOUBLE DIGITS.

My Final Thoughts…

If you do a search on Google for this company and products, you will find some negative websites, blogs and consumer comments, but that is typical for any business.

How the company handles the complaints is key.

You should always make sure you get to know as much about the company as you can before making a decision.

So continue to read as many Team Beachbody reviews as you possibly can while researching this company.

Please understand that if you are new to the direct sales and network marketing industry that your success will come from your ability to generate continuous leads in order to make sales. Remember, success in network marketing is not a huge mystery. It is just a matter of correct education, proper skills and effective action.

In my opinion Team Beachbody is a very stable and well established direct sales and network marketing company.

Team Beachbody is a good business opportunity that sells high quality, celebrity-endorsed, brand recognizable beauty products.

But that all of that has little to do with whether YOU will be successful or not.

While it’s obviously beneficial to be a part of a strong, supportive company, what really determines whether you will succeed or not is your ability to sell products consistently and your ability to recruit people in order to build a solid team.

If you are interested in the health and fitness industry and feel comfortable with their products, then Team Beachbody is certainly a business opportunity worth looking into.

Thanks for checking out this Team Beachbody Business Opportunity Review.

To Your Success!

P.S. While you are considering Team Beachbody as an additional source of income, what if you could make money even from those who are not interested in ordering your products or in joining your team?

P.S.S. If you’re struggling to build your Team Beachbody business, tired of rejection, bugging your friends and family, then you Click Here To Get Help Now! The pain, struggles, and the frustration you have endured while building your business ends, right here, right now.

Jeunesse Review – You Are Not Going To Believe This

Charles Lenoir / October 3, 2015

Thanks for checking out this Jeunesse review. If you’re reading this then you are probably conducting research because you have an interest in the Jeunesse products or the business opportunity.

If that is the case, just keep reading!

This is an unbiased Jeunesse Business Opportunity Review. I will attempt to provide enough factual information about the Company, Product(s), and Compensation plan for you to be able to make an informed decision.

NOTE: Unbiased (meaning I am not a distributor of their products/services and I do not promote their business opportunity). Your decision to join or not join the Jeunesse business opportunity is entirely up to you.

So let’s get to it shall we?

Company Profile

COMPANY NAME: Jeunesse Global (pronounced ja-ness)
INDUSTRY: Health and Wellness/Network Marketing
FOUNDER: Randy Ray, CEO; Wendy Lewis, COO
COST: Five options (See below); Basic Membership: $49.95 +199.00 (minimum)
WEBSITE: jeunesseglobal.com
REACH: Global – already in over 120 countries

Jeunesse Vision Statement:

To enhance the health and vitality of people worldwide by offering financial stability through a ‘new economy’ business platform and youth-enhancing products based on innovative technologies

Co-founders Wendy Lewis and her husband, Randy Ray derived the company’s name and spirit from the French word, “jeunesse” which means “youth” in English.

What Are the Products?

Jeunesse provides a line of personal care and nutrition products.

The company calls their collection of products the Youth Enhancement System, or Y.E.S.

The company claims Y.E.S. was carefully developed to combine powerful benefits into a synergistic system of skincare and supplements you won’t find elsewhere.

Jeunesses’ product line is broken down into three areas: Personal Care, Nutrition and Innovation.

PERSONAL CARE: Luminesce beauty products restore youthful vitality and radiance to the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while nourishing the skin.
NUTRITION: These products target DNA Repair and telomere maintenance, and protect cells from free radical damage.
INNOVATION: Products developed through scientific research iwith focus on four areas:
Stem Cell – How the “language” of stem cells promotes healthy new skin.

Antioxidants – Counteracting the environment to protect and extend cell life

Y.E.S. – A compete system of products that enhance youth at the cellular level

DNA Repair – Maintaining cell telomeres to delay the aging process

Jeunesse’s flagship product, Luminesce, a cellular rejuvenation skincare serum.

How to promote the products

Jeunesse distributors are taught Warm Market Prospecting techniques by the company.

Shortly after joining, their upline or sponsor will probably tell them to make a list of all the people they know, including family, friends, co-workers and business associates then introduce them to the business model right away.

Some distributors also promote their products through social media and use of the internet.

The problem that most Jeunesse distributors are facing is that after they go through their family and friends they run out of people to speak to about the business.

GOOD NEWS!

Jeunesse provides Jsocial™ for their Independent Distributors. Jsocial™ offers a simple to use patented platform allowing users a unique way to sample, sell and promote their Jeunesse home business.

Unfortunately this will not be enough to get you on the leader boards and into the Director levels of the compensation plan where the real money is at.

Any Jeunesse distributor that desires to have a profitable business should have a complete online marketing system.

Online marketing systems consist of websites, blogs or lead capture pages you can use to send your prospects to for more information and autoresponders (automated follow-up email system) to maintain contact with potential clients.

How did the top income earners become so successful?

Simple, the top Jeunesse earners build their businesses totally different than the masses do.

The top earners who are making money in Jeunesse are great at marketing, both offline and online.

They know how stand out as leaders by way of personal branding to generate traffic and leads, and then convert those leads into sales, and they know how to recruit the best people into their business.

The teams that seem to be successful are not just using the company’s replicated website, but a host of other lead generation and marketing tools.

They train their downline on what’s working now, the latest internet marketing strategies and techniques and arm them with the tools and knowledge to generate their own online leads.

If you want to become a top producer, you will need a powerful lead marketing system to foster and build a relationship with your prospects.

Not understanding how to personally brand themselves, how to drive traffic to their capture pages or having a high converting lead marketing system is why most Jeunesse distributors fail; because they follow the masses and get the same old results.

HINT: Most Top earners use their own website or blog and not company replicated sites.

The Compensation Plan

Can you make money with this business opportunity? Of course! Anything is possible in network marketing. Jeunesse calls it’s compensation plan the Financial Rewards Plan.

Their current BBB rating is:

Is the Jeunesse business opportunity right for YOU?

Well this is a comprehensive Jeunesse Business Opportunity review, right? Then let’s look at the good as well as the bad.

The Pros

Residual income opportunity on product reorders (autoship) paid out weekly.
Six different ways you can get paid, Retail Profit, New 1st Order Bonus, Team Commission, Leadership Matching Bonus, Customer Acquisition Incentive & Diamond Bonus Pool.
You can begin earning Retail Profits, Preferred Customer Bonuses, and New First Order Bonuses immediately upon the purchase of the mandatory $49.95 Starter Kit.
Stability-the company has been around for six years.
International business opportunity available in many countries outside the U.S.
Bonuses and Awards. Lifestyle Rewards Program. In addition to to the above compensation, Jeunesse has multiple bonus opportunities and recognition programs available to its distributors.
Flexibility to place place people in your organization.

Jeunesse announced a record for monthly sales revenue in June 2015, with a grand total of $120 million in global sales. More than 116,000 new distributors started a Jeunesse business that same month.

The Cons

Products are somewhat pricey.
Requires that you have a total of 900 Commissionable Volume (CV), generated with at least 300 CV from one team and 600 CV before eligible to receive commissions from your downline (team activity).
Production based comp plan that will require heavy recruiting and building large teams to sustain and maximize income potential.

Hierarchical requirements make the higher ranks exceptionally harder to achieve, including those ranks that are most likely to produce a comfortable living income.
Annual Renewal fee of $19.95. However, if you maintain 360 CV from Autoship orders during the year, the Annual Renewal fee is waived.

Is the It Works business opportunity right for YOU?

If you are interested in promoting/selling personal care and nutritional products then Jeunesse may be a good fit for you!

To join Jeunesse and become an associate you must purchase the Starter Kit for $49.95.*

The Starter Kit is the only purchase required to start earning bonuses.

Once you’re registered as a independent distributor, you can start building your business.

WARNING: 95% of Jeunesse Distributors FAIL!

Unfortunately the sad truth is, if your looking at Jeunesse solely for the purpose of the compensation plan and you are an inexperienced marketer without the drive and ambition to make a serious change in your life, Jeunesse probably isn’t for you.

I’m assuming that we haven’t personally met yet and that I haven’t gotten to know you.

So, I’m going to be pretty blunt here.

If you expect to sign up and instantly start to make money without a lead marketing system, let me be the first to tell you … YOU WILL FAIL!!!

Yes, your success or FAILURE as an Distributor will ultimately be determined by how many people you can attract to you and your team.

Without understanding Attraction Marketing principles, you will always be at a serious disadvantage.

If you want the best chance at success in your Jeunesse business, you need to learn and understand how to apply Attraction Marketing principles.

By using attraction marketing, learning a few marketing skills, and leveraging the power of the internet, you can succeed where the other 95% fail.

My Final Thoughts…

If you do a search on Google for this company and products, you will find some negative websites, blogs and consumer comments, but that is typical for any business.

How the company handles the complaints is key.

You should always make sure you get to know as much about the company as you can before making a decision.

So continue to read as many Jeunesse reviews as you possibly can while researching this company.

Please understand that if you are new to the direct sales and network marketing industry that your success will come from your ability to generate continuous leads in order to make sales.

Remember, success in network marketing is not a huge mystery. It is just a matter of correct education, proper skills and effective action.

In my opinion Jeunesse is a very stable and well established direct sales and network marketing company.

They are international and forecast this year to become one of the few direct sales companies cross the billion dollar sales mark.

One significant milestone that could push Jeunesse closer to that $1 billion goal is its March acquisition of nutritional products direct seller MonaVie and its health and fitness brand, myntTM.

If you are interested in the personal care and nutrition industry and feel comfortable with their products, then Jeunesse is certainly a business opportunity worth looking into.

Out of the top 25 network marketing companies 22 are health and wellness companies.

Why Branding Your Network Marketing Company Is A Big Mistake

Charles Lenoir / September 22, 2015

Most new home business owners will automatically begin branding* their network marketing company and its products shortly after they sign up.

They buy business cards, flyers, stationary sets, t-shirts, and a host of other things that all have the company logo and colors. They go on all their social media sites and post pictures of the company’s products all over their personal page.

But branding the company instead of branding YOURSELF is one of the biggest mistakes a new network marketer can make.

*Branding is the promotion of a particular person, product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design.

Why is this a mistake?

Well when you spend all of your time and effort promoting your network marketing business opportunity and products then all you’re doing is branding the company!

Still don’t get it?

In other words you are indirectly placing the spotlight on the company instead of on you where it should be, whether you realize it or not.

This is a network marketing No No.

Here are some other reasons why branding your network marketing company is a mistake.

Network Marketing Companies Fail

Sure, I love my primary company, but I honestly don’t know if it will be around forever, I can only hope it does. Sadly, not all network marketing companies survive. Most fail within the first 3-5 years of business which reigns true for almost all small businesses.

Believe it or not the current company you are with may or may not be around in the future, but your personal brand is something that can establish now that will stay with you for many years to come.

For example, my blog is my personal brand. I am known as the Wealth Building and Internet Marketing Expert and I help other entrepreneurs and network marketers make more money by teaching them proven marketing strategies that help them get more leads and make more sales.

So what happens if suddenly your company closes its doors?

You have worked so hard to build a large team and create a residual income only to find out that your company has announced that it is going out of business.

Now just imagine for a minute having to start all over again at ground zero after years of building your business. Just think how devastating that would be to your family, your finances and lifestyle.

Don’t think it can happen? Ask representatives from Vemma, Wake Up Now, North American Power to name a few.

If you didn’t brand yourself as a person of value, create a following or list, then you will have to start all over from scratch each and every time you change companies.

You Are Losing Potential Customers/Business Partners

Most network marketers think that the more people know what company they are in, the better chance they have of recruiting more people or selling more products.

This is far from the truth. Think about it.

First of all, why should anybody buy from you? The truth is that they really don’t need to buy from you or join your business.

If they are interested in your company’s business opportunity, products or services all they really have to do is a Google search for the company your are branding and they will find hundreds or thousands of people lining up with a big smile on their face wanting to convince them that they are the best sponsor in the company.

You my friend are just one in a sea of many copycats that have not set themselves apart in any way.

Nobody will join your business opportunity or buy from you!

There are just too many options for them to look at.

So if you have not established your own personal brand so you can attract people to you and stand out from the rest of the field, then I guarantee you that you are losing customers and prospective business partners.

The Solution: Brand Yourself Not Your Company

By creating your own personal brand online people will essentially be attracted to you and they will be interested in what you have to say.

By branding yourself and attracting leads to you and not your company these leads remain yours. This is one of the most powerful reasons to brand YOU and not your company.

As you get more leads you can then create a list of followers. You own the list and can use your list in any way that you choose. You are in control. You can use your list to introduce your followers to your primary network marketing company, you can share products or services with them, build relationships, or use your list in any other way that you see fit. You can create multiple streams of income whether people join your primary business or not!

By branding yourself online, you can set yourself apart and provide value to people. Earn the trust of others and build relationships. That is the real key to finding people to show your products or opportunity.

Remember, network marketing has always been and always will be about building long lasting, quality relationships.

To Your Success!

If you follow me, I’ll teach you how to develop a personal brand, choose a niche, provide lots of value to this niche, and then watch as prospective customers in that niche come to you to buy things and/or join you in your business with little to no effort on your part!

Your Network Marketing Company is failing. They are failing to teach you modern day business building strategies. They are failing to teach you the secrets of the top earners, and because of this you’re staying broke. The pain, struggles, and the frustration you have endured while building your business ends, right here, right now.

What Can We Learn From Vemma’s Shutdown

Charles Lenoir / August 28, 2015

Whenever a direct sales company is shut down by the the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly operating an illegal pyramid, the entire network marketing industry receives a great deal of scrutiny.

Vemma headquarters, 1621 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, AZ.

Well this week the FTC announced the shut down of Vemma.

The consumer protection agency said that Vemma told recruits that they could make as much as $50,000 per week selling its nutritional beverage Vemma, energy drink Verge or protein shake Bod-e. An initial investment of $600 was paid for products and business tools and $150 in Vemma products had to be bought each month to receive bonuses. The FTC said Vemma provided little help on how to sell its products and instead rewarded them for recruiting more people.

I think the Vemma probably got into trouble when they targeted college students.

In the complaint, the FTC said Vemma employees visited college campuses and told students that selling the beverages was an alternative to a regular job. Its marketing materials features young people in luxury vehicles, jets and yachts, the FTC said.

If you follow my post you might recall that I first wrote about Vemma’s potential problems in an article titled “Is Vemma Targeting College Students and Operating An Illegal Pyramid?”

What Can We Learn From Vemma’s Shutdown?

Off of the top of my head I can think of two important lessons that we all can learn from Vemma’s misfortune.

Lesson 1. I’ve said it once and will say it again, learn how to properly promote and market your business! Flashing money and making FALSE income claims only lead to trouble. Spamming your friends and family on Facebook and other social media sites will just get you blocked or banned.

Lesson 2. Please learn the importance of branding yourself. If you spend all of your time and efforts promoting Vemma’s Opportunity and products then all you were doing is branding the company not yourself. What happens now that the company is out of business? All of your hard work goes down with the company. So if you didn’t brand yourself as a person of value, create a following or list, then you will have to start all over from scratch each and every time you change companies.

My Message To Vemma Affiliates

I have never been a Vemma affiliate nor have I ever been a customer. I do know some friends that have tried and liked their products. I also have some friends that were affiliates for the company.

If you were a Vemma affiliate I know that you are disappointed and maybe even hurt. Trust me the Vemma shut down hurts all of us no matter what company we represent. I personally know what you are feeling…been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. For some of you this may have been your very first network marketing company and you might be feeling like you were scammed.

Well don’t be keep your head up. The network marketing business model is sound.

Many businesses fail just like many entrepreneurs fail. But just think if Michael Jordan would have given up after he was cut from the High School Basketball team or if Oprah Winfrey would have quit after she was fired from her job as a reporter look what they have become. You see for them quitting when it got a little rough was not an option!

When you have been in this industry as long as I have you will see many companies come and go, don’t worry about it. Keep pressing on and keep your eyes on the prize.

To Your Success!

Avon Loses #1 Global Sales Company Rank

Charles Lenoir / February 27, 2015

While doing a little internet research I came across an interesting article by market watch on Avon.

If you have been involved with direct sales or network marketing for any length of time then you know the names of legendary companies like Avon.

Well for years Avon (since 2004) has held the number one spot as the Global Direct Sales Company title until now.

The number one spot now belongs to Amway!

Amway a global leader in health, beauty and an outstanding business opportunity for Independent Business Owners.

The Rest Of The List

Here are the other top companies:

3. Herbalife International International is an American company that develops, markets and sells nutrition, weight management and skin-care products globally.

4. Natura Cosmeticos SA is a Brazilian company engaged in the development, manufacture, distribution, and sale of cosmetics, producing a full range of cosmetic products.

5. Mary Kay, Inc. is an American privately owned direct sales company that sells cosmetics products.

Note: The Health & Wellness and Beauty industries are obviously very popular and these companies are doing well implementing the network marketing business model.

Should Avon Representatives Be Concerned

No, I don’t think so. Avon has a very good management and leadership team. They will make the adjustments necessary to remain competitive and at the top for years to come.

Network Marketing Tips

Why Should I Join Your Business Opportunity?

Charles Lenoir / January 18, 2015

Today I want to spend a little time talking about something I see quite often with network marketing representatives that have not taken time to fully develop their marketing skills.

If you have been in the network marketing industry as long as I have then you are sure to run across people that will pitch their multilevel marketing (MLM), direct selling, or network marketing business opportunity to you.

I get contacted almost daily by people asking me to take a look at their products or join their business opportunity.

Here is a small sample of non-edited (misspelled words and all) messages I have received in the past through social media or email:

Hey Charles, I just want to start off by saying thanks for accepting me I really appreciate it, ____here, I’ve been checking out your post for quite a while and I am amazed at you’re work, I’m working on a project called wakeupnow and I’m looking to partner up with business professionals, this goes well with your current opportunitie, there is incredible money on the table, are you open to other options outside of your current business?

And another…

Hello Charles glad to see you earning a good income working online. I would love to build you a 2nd income and I would do all the recruiting and building if you are busy with other projects. Just join and send me your link and I will place people under you. I can recruit enough people where you earn a minumum of $600-$2500 or more. I have built a few large teams. Watch this Video. Cost $100 to join

And one more,

I checked out your websites and they look good. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of EPX Body yet, but we are experiencing phenomenal growth. We’re the #1 Home Based Business in Npros and on MLMrankings.com If you would like to take a look at it, let me know what you think.

My question to you is, why should I join your business opportunity?

More importantly, why should I join your business opportunity under YOU??

What makes you different from the thousands of others promoting your business?

What are you offering me to join under you? Do you have some special training or a proprietary (marketing) system?

Think about it, 100 or marketers pitching the same or very similar lines to me daily. Stuff like this…

…create a 6 figure income, great leadership, stable company, ground floor opportunity, blah, blah, blah

But most of you are missing the point…

If I want to make the 6 figure income you keep telling me about with your company I could just join up under one of the leaders of the company, right?

The problem with this approach is that it attracts naive desperate people that also think there success lies in joining a good opportunity,

What Happens When You Do This?

…well, you may initially have some short term success by promoting your business opportunity to some gullible people.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to build my business with a bunch of lazy, naive, gullible people that are not willing to do any work…

I want to build my business with motivated hardworking people and this strategy/approach doesn’t attract those type of people.

When you use this approach you are building your business like a house of cards.

The slightest little thing can make it topple at any point.

Once these naive people realize that building a business is actually work, that it actually takes dedication, commitment, motivation or learning new skills…things will start to unravel,

…and once a card starts to fall very soon after the whole thing is going to come crashing down.

That is exactly what happens in most people’s organizations because they don’t attract the right people.

So have I described you? Are you this person?

This strategy is typical in the industry

…and we wonder why after 90 days people quit.

REMEMBER, in this business people join people not systems not until you TRULY get that I mean really get it then your business is going to suffer.
