Partner.Co Leader Harumi Saito Achieves Chairperson 5 Milestone

After more than two decades in the direct selling industry, Harumi Saito has reached another significant milestone — advancing to the prestigious rank of Chairperson 5 with Partner.Co.
Saito’s journey reflects the evolution of both the industry and her own leadership approach. Over the past 20 years, she has built and guided a thriving organization while adapting to changing markets and business models. According to Saito, the latest advancement came after a renewed sense of momentum within her team.

“The atmosphere came back to life, and that’s what has made me happiest,”

she said.

“It genuinely feels good to say, ‘I’m so glad we went for it.’”

Along the way, Saito credits not only her team but Partner.Co as a whole for helping her get here.

“What helped me overcome any difficulties was refusing to leave questions unanswered,”

she explained.

“I consistently checked in with the staff, called many times and kept working to deepen my understanding of how to be successful and build my business.”

Reflecting on her journey thus far, Saito said that if she had to do it all over again, she would focus on team building and team goal-setting sooner. 

“If I could start over, I would focus sooner on building a

Leader of Leaders Mastermind in Costa Rica Brings Together Top Network Marketing Leaders for Collaboration

A recent three-day leadership mastermind in Costa Rica brought together nearly 30 senior field leaders and company executives from close to 20 network marketing brands, creating a rare cross-company environment focused on collaboration, standards, and the long-term health of the profession.
Hosted by Rob Sperry, founder of The Game of Networking, the Leader of Leaders Club, and author of multiple leadership books including Built to Last in Direct Selling, the gathering was intentionally designed for depth rather than scale. Participation was limited, discussions were candid, and the environment emphasized contribution over visibility. There was no posturing, no compensation comparisons, and no competitive positioning between companies. The tone of the room was future-focused, grounded, and notably absent of ego.
Participants included high six- and seven-figure earners, returning mastermind veterans, first-time attendees, and multiple company owners. What unified the group was not title or tenure, but a shared commitment to elevating leadership, culture, and execution within the profession.
Conversations centered on topics that directly impact sustainability in network marketing, including retention, onboarding systems, the best ways to leverage AI, leadership development, field-corporate alignment, and building cultures that duplicate without burnout. Leaders were equally open about sharing challenges as they were successes, creating an environment of trust

Partner.Co’s James and Becky Zheng Advance to Chairperson 4

Partner.Co is thrilled to announce that James and Becky Zheng have advanced their Title to Chairperson 4!
 
In what he called one of the most challenging years of their lives, James said he realized earlier in the year that every blessing comes with a test.
Not only were James and Becky learning to be new parents for their now 14-month-old, but they accomplished that while continuing to pursue their business goals, lead their team and actively contribute to building Partner.Co by joining the company’s leadership team live on stage at events around the world.
Getting through the tests of the last year, though, he said, was worth it.

“Achieving Chairperson 4 is mind-blowing and overflowing. The joy we feel is so real that we can’t help but want to pass on the vision and share it with others.
“People deserve to feel this good about life,”

he said.
In line with that, James added that, combined, all of that has been the best part of their journey with Partner.Co so far.

“How seamlessly we’ve been able to merge business and life continues to invigorate us.
“We’ve traveled the world, created new memories, brought our family with us and connected with incredible partners we now get to call

THREE: Our Commitment to Direct Selling

By Daniel Picou, CEO of THREE International
What our long-term vision means for Brand Ambassadors.
The Direct Selling Landscape Is Changing. Industries evolve—and direct selling is no exception. Over the past several years, we’ve witnessed significant shifts across the channel, some of which have challenged the foundation that makes this industry so powerful.
We’ve seen what can happen when individuals or organizations without a true passion for direct selling step into leadership roles. In some cases, private equity or venture capital firms enter with a short-term mindset, focused more on rapid returns than long-term sustainability.
When decision-makers lack a deep understanding of the industry, they often lose sight of what truly matters: the field leadership and the customer.
Without a long-term vision rooted in relationships, integrity, and trust, even the strongest companies can struggle. Now more than ever, it is critical for leaders in this industry to understand who their customers are, understand  their leadership’s needs, and make decisions with the future in mind.
THREE’s Stand: Reaffirming Our Commitment
At THREE International, we want to be clear: we are committed to the direct selling channel. We believe it is the most powerful and effective way to share life-changing, science-backed products with people around the world. More than
