The Plaque Of Fake Leaders in Network Marketing

Guest post by Stefano Orrù from Italy:

I’m here to say something that many people will resonate with, while some individuals (obviously the fake leaders) will get quite angry. However, nobody will say anything, because they prefer to hide behind the scenes.

Network Marketing has changed in many ways in the last few years. Many companies decided to embrace the Social Media WAVE, following the lead of industry leaders who have developed new strategies and systems to build their businesses.

The Direct Sales Industry was hard to convince that digital transition is crucial, but over the past 4-5 years, many companies decided to push their digital development, integrating technology, new systems, apps, emails, blogs, and more tools.

Some 100% digital companies were born in the last decade. Many of them with a great offer, while others present counterfeit propositions, and many are outright scams.
The fake ones and the scams have either closed down or constantly reopened under new names, new entities, and new faces, yet they remain the same “get-rich-quick” schemes designed to steal some money from the masses.

Josia & Sari Tobias From Indonesia Achieve Diamond at QuiAri

As new QuiAri Diamond Promoters, Josia and Sari Tobias from Jakarta, Indonesia, are enjoying the time and financial freedom that comes with reaching the upper ranks, but they said that it wasn’t the driving force behind their success.
Even before joining the MLM industry, they decided to commit their time and resources to bringing happiness to others. They joined QuiAri because they have seen the joy its breakthrough, anti-aging Products and industry-first 5-Minute Pay Opportunity brings to people around the world.
“Before Network Marketing and discovering QuiAri, we led a pretty simple life. We were professional photographers specializing in wedding, lifestyle, and commercial photo shoots.
We could make our own schedule, had the opportunity to travel to different locations, and the work was very rewarding, especially with weddings.
It was our job to capture a moment when people were at their most confident and looked and felt their best; however, the pay was inconsistent. If we were busy, we would get paid weekly.
When things slowed down it was monthly, or sometimes not at all. Even when we did get paid, some of our clients wanted to haggle over the price after the shoot finished and that was annoying. We joined

Nu Skin 2023 Revenue Down 12% To $1.97 Billion

Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: NUS) announced fourth quarter and full-year 2023 results slightly above its latest guidance.

“While we continue to work toward our long-term vision of becoming the world’s leading integrated beauty and wellness platform, our progress was impacted by persistent macro-economic pressures and disruptions associated with transforming our business,”

said Ryan Napierski, Nu Skin president and CEO.

“This was particularly evident with our fourth quarter results, which were down in our Americas, South Korea and Europe & Africa segments. This was offset by seasonal promotions in Mainland China, stabilization in Japan and modest growth in our Hong Kong/Taiwan segment. In addition, we achieved strong growth in our Rhyz businesses, which accounted for 13 percent of our revenue in the fourth quarter.
“We are committed to generating long-term enterprise value by repositioning our company to win in the rapidly evolving beauty and wellness industries by further transforming our core Nu Skin business and accelerating investment in our rapidly growing Rhyz ecosystem,”

continued Napierski.

“To enhance this transformation, we are reassessing our approach to capital allocation to invest in long-term growth and business evolution. This initiative aims to grant us increased financial flexibility, enabling us to effectively seize forthcoming growth opportunities.
This includes rebalancing our dividend payout ratio to be in line with or better than our industry peers.

Congratulations to Rory and Tanya Ricord, whose hard work and dedication at Velovita led them to earn the coveted title of “North America Master Distributors”.
Rory and Tanya Ricord joined Velovita 3 ½ years ago –only 6 months after its inception— for one simple reason, to provide innovative products to the masses that will change the way people view network marketing.
This power couple have collectively spent an impressive 68 years dominating the direct sales industry. As top leaders in the field, Rory and Tanya achieved the highest ranks and income with their prior companies.  Rory and Tanya chose to use their collective expertise and experience of over 6 decades to help others, market and sell Velovita products.
Although they achieved an incredible amount of success in their previous venture, there was something about Velovita that drew them in.

“I met Kosta Gara in 2004 and was in his downline. Tanya and I grew so much from his mentoring over the years that when he called me to tell me he was coming out of retirement to start Velovita, we had to know more.
We had a feeling that making the jump to Velovita was with a leap of faith we needed to move into
