by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Modere, the first social retailer to create a safe and forward-thinking approach to overall wellness, today announced it is a finalist in the 2018 Direct Selling Association (DSA) Awards.
Launched by Modere in February 2017, Trim is a scientifically advanced body transformation nutritional supplement.
It was named a finalist in the DSA Awards under the Product Innovation category, created to showcase innovative, game-changing new products that leverage leading technologies to deliver clear, value-added features and benefits to both the company and its customers.
Trim is the first-ever combination of two leading technologies—clinical-strength CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) and Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology—to accelerate fat reduction, improve muscle tone and restore youthful skin for a sculpted, lean body.
Since its launch, Trim, focused on improving body composition, has contributed immensely to Modere’s exponential growth. Its off-the-charts popularity is largely responsible for the stellar growth report announced by the company at its annual convention this past February, where it reported double- and triple-digit growth rates in North America.
The company recently launched Trim in Europe and plans to launch the product in Japan next month.
It is an honor to be considered for this award by the DSA.
To be recognized for product innovation is especially meaningful because we pride

Top Leader Malikah Murphy And Company Join Modere
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Modere is excited to announce the partnership of Dr. Malikah Murphy and her team. Dr. Murphy, a mother of four, brings with her over a decade of network marketing experience where she’s earned seven-figure incomes with several businesses she’s helped to build.
Dr. Murphy currently serves as CEO of her own health and wellness company. She’s knowledgeable in nutrition and the formulation of natural hair care products, which gives her a strong understanding of Modere’s clean-label products and how they can change lives.
Her story of success in the industry began when certain family illnesses required her to explore the idea of working from home.
“I just started calling people in the phone book,” Dr. Murphy said. “I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning.”
Since that time, Dr. Murphy has achieved the distinction of becoming a seven-figure earner in many of her companies. It was with one of her most recent organizations, though, where she earned her first million in just 18 months.
During this time, she had built an organization of over 80,000 customers and distributors.
Dr. Murphy saw remarkable success at the time, but noticed there seemed a lack of the integrity she was seeking. It was during this moment

As they bring their unique brand of passion to Modere, Jeff and Belinda Burnett of Lubbock, Texas, USA are setting out to duplicate and even exceed what they built as top leaders with their previous company.
The Burnetts have a special heart to show the industry – and the world – that it’s possible to reach the highest echelons of success in this business, and still put marriage and family first.
“When we began building at our prior company, we didn’t know anything about the industry,” Jeff admits. “All we knew was that if we brought our 15 years of previous business experience with us, treated people with respect, and put all of our focus on helping others succeed, we would be successful.”
Indeed, within six short years, the Burnetts successfully achieved the highest rank in their previous company and earned more than $2 million.
But their greatest accomplishment? The numerous success stories they helped create within their organization. And it’s a priority that Jeff and Belinda bring to Modere as well.
