by Nicole Dunkley • October 9, 2014 • 0 Comments

A dwindling sales territory meant fewer dollars in Darin Kidd’s pocket, and then came the layoff. Soon he was awaiting eviction and applying for public assistance to feed his family. Kidd felt hopeless. But network marketing lifted he and his family out of that pit 15 years ago, and today he’s dedicated to creating hope for others through Nerium International.
“I love helping people and helping them reach their full potential. That’s a big driving force for me,” Kidd says. “I love seeing that spark in their eye when they realize they could be a stay-at-home parent, retire with someone they love, or give to their church or a charity they care about.”
As a Nerium 5-star national marketing director, Kidd and his wife, Cheryl, lead a team comprised of people from all walks of life. For them and their teammates, building a Nerium business is a big equalizer to success. Kidd says, “It doesn’t matter where you live, your education or lack of education, you can do network marketing.”
Nerium’s record-breaking industry success in the U.S.—based on a simple business-building system and fabulous training program targeting those new to direct selling—illustrates why Kidd believes this. So too does his personal financial success,

Is End Of Battle For Herbalife Near?

by Tina Williams • October 8, 2014 • 0 Comments

Senior executives at Herbalife (HLF) are telling investors it’s all but certain the Federal Trade Commission will not shut down the company at the conclusion of its wide-ranging investigation, though they expect some form of disciplinary action, FOX Business Network has learned.
Since March, the FTC has been investigating whether the nutritional supplement outfit operated as an illegal “pyramid scheme,” meaning its sales were largely derived from attracting people to distribute its product, rather than actual sales to customers. The FTC action follows claims by short seller Bill Ackman, who says the company’s business model violates a host of federal and state laws, and that Herbalife should be shut down by the government.
Despite the increased attention on the company, Herbalife executives have been speaking to attorneys, academics and former FTC officials, and have come to the conclusion that the chances of a shutdown are remote, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. In recent weeks, senior executives have been making the rounds with Herbalife’s top investors and explaining while the FTC’s investigation hasn’t concluded, they feel confident the company will avoid a corporate death sentence.
An Herbalife spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter, but would not deny such conversations

by Nicole Dunkley • October 7, 2014 • 0 Comments

The Bay Area’s 100 largest women-owned businesses generated $3.1 billion in revenue last year. In a landscape of tech companies, a skincare company actually landed near the top of the SF Business Times’ list of the Bay Area’s 100 largest women-owned businesses. Rodan + Fields, ranked #3, is SF-based and female-dermatologist-driven. And it made $195,682,033 in revenue last year.
The Business Times attributes the company’s growth to its direct selling model, but it takes more than a business model to make a successful company: the products have to work, too.
Since Rodan + Fields grew 358.6 percent last year —and is expected to post similarly impressive numbers for 2014— there’s no denying that the women at the helm are doing something right.

by Ted Nuyten • October 7, 2014 • 0 Comments

For the first time, a network marketing company is offering fantasy sports games.
G1E Fantasy Sports launched August 30, 2014 as an online and mobile platform by G1E, or Global 1 Entertainment, a worldwide network marketing company, headquartered in the USA and Hong Kong.
“This is unprecedented in the world of Direct Sales,” says Rick Maike, the CEO of Global 1 Entertainment.
“We wanted to bring our Independent Business Owners (IBO’s) yet another high opportunity product category that had zero competition in the MLM Entertainment field.”
It’s been a hit so far. The company reports a doubling of customers each week in the first month.
“This has been one of the most successful customer acquisition programs I have seen in the MLM industry over my last 20 years as a compliance officer,” said David Koerner, Global 1 Entertainment in-house Counsel and Compliance Officer.
“Our team in the field has really embraced this project because it is easy and fun to get people to play.”
Many of the customers playing on G1E Fantasy Sports are not Global 1 Entertainment IBO’s. They are just customers of G1E IBO’s. Each time an IBO or a customer plays a new game, G1E sends Business Volume (BV) to the upline.
