Avon Under Investigation

 
Zamansky LLC announces that it has commenced an investigation of Avon Product Inc.’s (AVP) employee personal savings account plan (the “Plan”) for potential violations of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).
ERISA imposes fiduciary duties to prudently manage and invest plan assets. These duties were allegedly violated by Avon Products’ continued offering of its company stock during a pending federal investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).
Since 2010, Avon’s stock price has fallen from over $40 per share to below $10 per year. Avon’s collapse in stock price relates to the FCPA investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission. The FCPA makes it illegal for U.S.-companies operating in foreign countries to pay bribes or kickbacks.
Separate shareholder lawsuits have alleged that Avon engaged in systemic FCPA violations, and misrepresented its revenues from various foreign countries. One lawsuit also alleges that Avon made numerous misrepresentations about the extent, reach and costs of the investigations against the company.
According to employee stock and investment fraud attorney, Jake Zamansky, Avon Products’ employees who purchased and held company stock (AVP) through the Plan since 2010 have suffered substantial losses to their retirement savings. The FCPA

Cinsay Targets The MLM Industry With Its Technology

14 Year Old Founder Of 250 Million Dollar Company Shares What She Learned

 
Bella Weems founded Origami Owl when she was just 14 years old. Cosmopoliton magazine had an exclusive interview with her where she shares the 6 things she learned on the way to becoming a millionaire:
You wouldn’t normally take career advice from someone who can’t legally buy a drink yet, but maybe this time, you should. Bella Weems founded her own custom-jewelry company, Origami Owl, when she was just 14 and has since grown it into a multimillion-dollar business. Here, the young exec shares her secrets for success.
1. Ignore the Haters—Even the Ones You Love
Especially when you have an idea that seems risky or different from what everyone is doing, you’re going to hit some red lights. (Reminder: Those are generally the best ideas!) When people tell you not to go for it or give up when things get tough, remind yourself they’re doing so because “they think they are protecting you from failure,” says Bella. “They mean well, but you have to have faith in yourself for others to also.” Use their doubt as momentum. After all, without the risk of failure, there would be no such thing as success.
2. Establish Your Core Values
Whether they’re unwritten but etched in the back

Kleeneze Loses Nearly A Quarter Of Sales After A Period Of Poor Service Levels

 
Half-year results from Findel (FDL) told a tale of two parts. The Kleeneze marketing business lost nearly a quarter of sales as it struggled to win back customers following a period of poor service levels.
Luckily, a flexible cost base stemmed the bottom-line damage: divisional operating profit fell by just £1m, giving a £0.4m loss. Still, the dire result forced management to take a £19m impairment charge on the business, which explains the dramatic fall in reported earnings.
Excluding this charge, the group made a pre-tax profit of £1.5m, compared with losses the year before. Much of that was thanks to Express Gifts. This personalised shopping service enjoyed a 6 per cent increase in sales, boosting profits by almost a half to £4.8m, as efforts to improve the pricing and product range and trim costs paid off. Bad debt levels from credit customers also improved dramatically.
Elsewhere, tighter school budgets trimmed profits in the educational supplies division, but sports-merchandise retailer Kitbag enjoyed decent top-line growth and almost halved its losses to £1.5m. Importantly, Findel is exploring a sale, and several parties have expressed interest. Any proceeds would be used to cut debt, which fell by £15.8m to £116m, net of cash.

John is the Master Distributor for Javita, a 25 year veteran of this industry, who has averaged $1,000,000 a year for the past 10 years.
He has some great generic training videos that anyone can benefit from at www.johnharemza.com.
John is amazed at what is happening at Javita. They did just over $10 million last year, they are on target for $36 million this year and with the momentum that is taking place he can see Javita at $80 to $100 million in 2015.   
He caught my attention when he shared how many new distributors, with no network marketing experience, were having extraordinary success.
When I asked him what he attributed this too John said:

First, the five critical elements must be in place company, product, compensation, timing, training and support and Javita clearly has these 5 elements in place”.
He pointed out the one thing that is giving these new people such success was the product, weight loss coffee, it’s so comfortable and easy to talk about. When you say weight loss coffee the line begins to form.
