My initial thought- buying into systems that generate leads for MLM is a load of crap. With MLM, very rarely is there a shortcut. MLM is a RELATIONSHIP business for the most part. How does buying a list of 1000 “qualified” leads work into building a relationship? How does signing up for twitter, buying a system got get 10,000 drones to follow you effective? I think these guys are making a killing selling leads and systems. After all, if these systems really work- wouldnt their downlines be so huge, that they wouldnt have time to peddle little systems and “their own” leads? Maybe I dont get it.

Anyone out there have a real success story? Anyone get burned? I would love to hear about it!

These guys captured the true spirit of a great mlm. Good product, Great Ideas, Simplicity, and utilizing Cutting Edge Online technology. Watch it explode….. bravo!

Nutrition and More Info:

Transform your life and well-being with TAHITIAN NONI® n-Core liquid dietary supplement, a nutrient rich blend combining the antioxidant power of noni with the appeal of black currant and other natural juices. n-Core™ contains flavonols and polyphenols that aid the body’s natural defenses, offering powerful antioxidants that support the immune and cardiovascular systems.

Ingredients:

Reconstituted Morinda citrifolia Fruit Juice from Pure Noni Puree from French Polynesia, Vitis vinifera (White Grape) Juice Concentrate, Malus domestica (Apple) Juice Concentrate, Ribes nigrum (Black Currant) Juice Concentrate, Vitis labrusca (Concord Grape) Juice Concentrate, Vaccinium corymbosum (Blueberry) Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavors, Rubus idaeus (Red Raspberry) Juice Concentrate.

Tahitian Noni aggressively expanded worldwide- investing millions of dollars in international markets, including Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, etc. Worldwide expansion attributes to more than half of TNI sales to date, boasting the same product, in every country, the same commission structure, and a seamless worldwide compensation plan.

Tahitian Noni Juice commission plan also promises the most earning potential than any other superfruit jucie company. Mona Vie, Exfuse, Xango, etc, do not pay out as much dollar for dollar than Tahitian Noni. Noni Juice bottle is 1 liter, all competitors bottles are 750ml. Total commisionable volume per autoship for TNI is $120 (cost is $126), Mona Vie, and others commission $100 (total cost is comparable to TNI at 126).

TNI and Tahitian Noni Juice, still the best opportunity, after all the dust settles, TNI will be the giant in the industry still standing, and will be the home where all networkers will dream to end up.

Not to be outdone, Sisel has come out with its own version of the popular fad. Time will tell whether this is a company to stay- it certainly has the backing. The multimillionare Tom Mower, the founder of NeWays has founded this new company that has amazing manufacturing capacity, and all the money in the world to make an amazing line up of personal care products, and the ever so popular super fruits. Sisel promises to hold nothing back, and noni juice, xango juice, goyin, goji, mona vie, and the others a run for their money.

Think about that. What exactly does blowing the largest energy drink producer in the world, “away” mean? I assumed that she was talking about quality, taste, healthiness, anything but sales… right. Apparently GoChi is the fastest growing, taking the market by storm, blah blah blah.

My problem with network marketing is simple. So much BS, so much hype, so much misinformation, and so many people with the audacity to say anything to win sales and influence people.

My question is simple- is there a way to sucessfully build a network marketing organization without all the hype, all the misinformation, all the motivation by fear of loss (ie, the train is leaving, either you get on now or its too late)? It seems that those who build organizations with such tactics are building an organization of idiots. A little Harsh?

By the way, energy drinks for network marketing are a flop. Too expensive, too little commission. Don’t waste your time.

Does it really matter? Look at Mona Vie, it seems this juggernaut is impervious- driven on amway zealotry, and a hype surge like the mlm world has never seen. It will be interesting to see if these new products have the staying power that the originals like Tahitian Noni and Aloe Vera have clearly proven they have- surviving attack after attack and still alive and well.

It is a well accepted rule that most new sign ups last about 3 months in a program. How long do the $300 club newbies last. Few if any companies are going in the opposite direction. What would happen if startup and autoship was $50 a month? Would retention be much longer? Would it be an MLM shoe-horn that will ease a newbie into the system rather than bust him in and out after three months?

Mona Vie- nothing new, just another juice right? What are they doing right? For starters, they have a highly aggressive marketing strategy. Giving away, Ferrari’s, millions of dollars, etc. based on a binary marketing plan so enticing that mainstay die hard Amway top dogs salivated to the point of lawsuits and controversy that propelled Mona Vie to near yearly billion dollar revenues. Will Mona Vie sustain? Doubtful it will sustain its current level of success (but in all fairness, who ever does?). One reason they will not sustain is that a binary payout pays out big on top- and very little to the average guy. Uni-level hybrid plans will sustain lower level distributors much longer than binary- therefore they will stick around much longer.

The dearth in growth TNI has experienced that last few years is a telling sign that innovation in the wrong direction can be fatal. It is never too late with network marketing programs however. It was once joked that once a company reaches $10M a month in sales- you couldnt kill it if you beat it with a stick…. it is certainly true in many cases. Neways Japan for example struggled severely in the end of the 90’s- it was all but over for them. Now they are a dominant force in Japan. What was the change? The right people, the right incentives, and the right products? Who really knows exactly… but it was something to do with motivated distributors.

Super Fruit Juices are here to stay. It is up to TNI, to see if they can reinvent themselves now the right way to revive what was once was most prolific and exciting stranglehold the business had seen in decades. Cutting distributor commissions was a deathly blow- regardless of the reasons. It was poorly executed, and arrogantly implemented. Products began to be less and less lucrative. If you are looking for a how-to-NOT grow a company from $500M to a $Billion, you need look no further than TNI in the last 3 years. But as it was true for Neways in Japan, so it can be true for TNI, time will tell.

Look for the next 5 years, those who grasp a hold of the vision of what is coming, will become millionaires. Consumption on staying-young products is already massive, baby boomers will have more time to research, more incentive to buy, the older they get, the more active they will want to be, and therefore…… you see what I mean.

No other product on the market is as popular as the super fruit. Noni, Xango, Acai, the list is growing. All of it is good, all of it works, and all of it will be sold direct sales. The stuff works, and it will sell.
