Shinya Kada’s Meteoric Rise To Becoming Japan’s Top Partner.Co Brand Partner

When Shinya Kada started PartnerCo business in March 2024, he set two goals. First, he wanted to become the highest title in Japan, and then achieve the highest title in the world. It took him 11 weeks to achieve the first goal, advancing to Chairperson Level 5.
Before committing to join Partner.Co, Kada-san — a 30-year industry veteran — wanted to meet with its founders, CEO Darren Zobrist and Chief Brand Partner Officer John Wadsworth. It was meeting with them, Kada-san said, that sealed the deal for him.

“In this industry, no matter how good the company’s products and plans are, if the owner or owners are not good, then the company isn’t going to be good,”

Kada-san said.
Beyond their complementary nature — Zobrist, a former Wall Street financier, and Wadsworth, a 25-year industry veteran with the same company — Kada-san said that one thing that appealed to him was their closeness in age.

“Because we are so close in age, we can do business together for 20 or 30 years, That was a really compelling factor to me. I look forward to doing business together, not only five years but 20 or 30 together.”

Reflecting on his quick advancement to Chairperson 5, Kada-san

Amway Japan Gets Partial Business Suspension Order

Japan’s Consumer Affairs Agency has issued a partial business suspension order to Amway Japan for illegally soliciting people over network marketing.
The agency says the firm invited individuals to become members and promote the sales of its products. It also says the firm urged the members to solicit other people to become salespersons, and that they would receive referral fees.
The specified commercial transactions law stipulates that a business operator is obliged to inform consumers of the names of the solicitors and the operator, as well as the purpose of solicitation.
But the agency says that Amway Japan has violated the law since at least March of last year. The authorities say the firm invited people without informing them of its name or its purpose, using hard-sell tactics and issuing no documents.
The agency on Friday ordered Amway Japan to suspend part of its business, including solicitation activities and making contracts, for six months. The agency also instructed the firm to create a system to prevent a recurrence.
Amway Japan says that some members conducted illegal acts, and that it will take measures to improve its business and prevent a recurrence. The firm says these measures will include reviewing its ethics platform, code of conduct
