Last weekend, 90 buses, filled with 4,500 Chinese tourists, roamed the Netherlands courtesy of Perfect (China) Co. Ltd., a direct sales firm specializing in household and beauty products. It was an ostentatious trip, but nothing compared to the early May tour of France that Tiens, another Chinese direct sales firm specializing in health and beauty sponsored for 6,400 of its representatives. And that was smaller still than the 110 flights chartered in mid-May to take 12,700 Chinese tourists to Thailand, all of whom work for another Chinese direct sales company, Infinitus, specializing in health and beauty products.
Welcome to China’s booming direct sales sector, where revenues have gone from zero to $18 billion in the past decade. It might seem surprising that such an old-fashioned business model — which revolves around people hawking wares to people they already know — is succeeding despite

Nerium Suspends Top Earners
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
According to an email below sent to all National Marketing Directors (NMD) and top leaders at Nerium, million dollar earners Ron Forrester and BizCoach Leslie Hocker are suspended.
It means their earnings are frozen and a termination is possible.
According to Tom Chenault, who first reported on this serious matter:
“Ron and Leslie have millions of dollars going through their NERIUM organization and to have their BIG income unilaterally yanked away is beyond belief.
The problem supposedly stems from drama around the opening of Korea and doing it the “Nerium Way”. But as I understand it, Ron and Leslie are the uplines. It’s their teams being super aggressive.
It’s HARD to build these teams and to think it can be taken away in one fell swoop makes me nauseous.
