As a former MLM company owner of over 6 years and an MLM distributor of over 20 years, I’ve seen a LOT of companies (both good and bad) come and go.
The problem with many of the companies I’ve been involved with has boiled down to one common issue:
As a passionate member of the MLM concept, it pains me to say this … but in my personal experience, I’ve discovered that what most companies lack can be summed up in one word:
Integrity
Now, recognize that I am not talking about the overall/collective integrity of the distributors/members themselves. Instead, I’m talking about the level (or lack thereof) of integrity that emminates from the top … from the founders and corporate officers themselves.
You see, if the company itself is run by individuals with less-than-acceptible levels of integrity themselves, then the company itself is ultimately doomed, because history has proven time and time again that people always "follow the leader". If you have a leader who practices less-than-scrupulolus methods of doing business, then it follows suit that many who join with that company will ultimately follow suit. And for those who don’t, they simply end up with yet another dream shattered … with 2-3 years (or even more) of intense business-building efforts that have been washed down the drain (and for many, this has occured not just once, not just twice, but *multiple* times).
Now, I don’t profess to have a crystal ball, and I will never claim to "Know All" and/or "See All", but given my personal experiences from many years of working in the MLM industry, I can at least offer some information that will hopefully be treated with some "soundness".
I’ve somewhat recently been introduced to a fairly new home business opportunity that has, at last, met my "integrity test" with positive results.
Oh yes, before I forget, I’m going to be very upfront with you and let you know *now* that I *will* include a link for you to gain more information and/or join this program with me. I make no attempts to hide behind this fact.
One more thing, this company does *not* pay a dime to me (or anyone else) just for acquiring new enrollees. Their business model is based primarily on their product line (which, as you’ll soon see, works incredibly well).
Okay, back to the topic at hand. I’ve posted an article on one of my blogs that best describes my initial personal experience with this company. You can read it at www.vitalbusinesstools.com. The company I am referring to is Team BeachBody. The cost to enroll is a whopping $39.95. The monthly recurring costs (beginning in month #2) are a whopping $14.95. You can also join their Club, which will run $38.87 per quarter (every 3 months).
Team BeachBody is heavily involved in Direct Response Marketing, which is a fancy way of saying that they do a lot of their marketing by way of professionally produced infomercials. It’s quite likely you’ve already seen one or more of their shows on TV (P90X with Tony Horton, The Ten Minute Trainer, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, Hip Hop Abs … and the list goes on).
One of the most terrific features of this from the business-side of things is that (upon qualification, which is *easy* to attain) the company will *hand* you customers. These aren’t just "leads", but bona-fide paying customers who have purchased from Team BeachBody’s infomercials, radio ads, magazine ads, and the like. I am personally receiving about one new customer per day at the time of writing this.
In addition to this, the company also has a new infomercial out that is geared toward getting folks interested in joining the business itself. When a person calls in from the infomercial and signs up as a Team BeachBody coach, the company will then *hand* you coaches as well (again, you must first qualify to receive coaches, but this too is easy to do)! This is (to my knowledge) unprecedented. A company that builds your business for you!?!? Unheard of … until now.
Okay, let’s quickly get back the issue of integrity. I happened to join w/ an individual (a friend of mine) who treats the "I" word as seriously as I do, and he himself will only join a business that operates with the utmost of integrity, from the top down. He has met with the CEO (Carl Daikeler) on several occassions and has spent over a YEAR looking into this company.
Here are some other key points:
· They pay commissions on time
· They follow through on promises
· Their support department is adequately staffed (they actually answer the phones!) AND they take the time YOU need to get your questions answered and issues resolved
· They provide you with an unbelievable array of marketing tools and resources, including over 100 professionally produced videos that you can email to your customers/prospects instantly (see below)
· They *aren’t* interested in "bleeding your account dry" just so they can make a quick buck
· You *will* become healthier if you simply get "plugged in" to this business
Here are some sample video pages YOU could send out to your customers/prospects:
Business Presentation - an in-depth overview of the business model itself
BeachBody Club - The Club is *not* the business itself, but we as Coaches (independent business owners) earn commissions from members’ quarterly fees
Compensation Plan - For the number-crunchers, here’s an easy-to-follow video that explains exactly how you get paid as a Team BeachBody Coach
Why Become A Coach?
Products Overview
P90X - This is the product I purchased … BEFORE I even knew that the very same company offered a home-based business!!!
Success Stories - Men
Success Stories - Women
… and there are many, many more video pages that YOU would have available to you to help build your business and your customer-base.
So as you can see, this business brings with it a very appealing Risk vs. Reward ratio.
Your financial Risk is incredibly low ($39.95 to start, then $14.95/mo starting on month #2)
Your Reward factor is astronomically high.
If you’d like more information before making a decision to change your body, change your health, and change your life, you can do either of 2 things:
1. Go to http://BeachBodyNow.com and enter your contact info … and then expect a call from me personally
2. Call me directly (toll-free) via 1-800-738-6114
Remember, Team BeachBody will pay me (or anyone else) absolutely nothing if you decide to join, so you can expect that you will *not* be on the receiving end of any high-pressure sales tactics of any kind. I will simply answer your questions and leave the decision completely up to you. Fair enough?
If, on the other hand, you are ready to make an immediate change in your life with a minimal-risk investment, then by all means go for it (and again, you can expect to receive a call from me if you choose to join as well):
