Record High Retail Customer Acquisition Numbers For Opulence Global
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Opulence Global, formerly known as Global Wealth Trade (GWT) is founded by CEO Ramin Mesgalou and has its headquarters in Toronto, Canada.
I had the pleasure to sit down with Ramin and talked about the transition.
Ramin, how a rebrand can change everything so quickly. You created one of the most aggressive compensation plans in the industry with GWT but now you are all about customer acquisitions. What happened?
The Fountain Of Life Norwegian Spruce super extract happened. You are correct that when it comes to comp plans I am very aggressive.
When I was on the filed comp plan was everything and I built 4 multi-million dollars distributorships before I launched Opulence Global but FOL changed everything.
In my almost 30 years in MLM, I have never seen a health product that mesmerizes its users so much that the biggest recruiters in our company are NOT the Advisers, they are our VIP Shoppers who recommend other VIP Shoppers (Retail customers).
I saw a staggering number of 71% of your FOL sales come directly from Retail customers that you call VIP Shoppers?
Correct Ted .. Insane isn’t it? So although we still have the most aggressive 4 million dollars a year compensation plan with unique industry first

According to the Wall Street Journal:
Avon will transfer its Illinois plant to a French contract manufacturer.
After more than 100 years of making beauty products in the U.S., Avon is selling its last domestic factory to a French cosmetics manufacturer.
Fareva Group will take over production of lipstick, body lotion, face cream and other products at Avon’s factory and warehouse in Morton Grove, Ill., people familiar with the plan said. The contract manufacturer also will make private-label products for drugstore chain Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. at the underutilized, 500,000-square-foot plant, one of the people said.
Financial terms couldn’t be learned. Current Avon employees are expected to keep their jobs as part of the ownership change, the person said. Avon employed 362 in Morton Grove in 2016, according to the northern Chicago suburb’s records.
The deal comes less than three years after New Avon LLC, formerly the North American arm of Avon Products Inc., AVP 1.23% split from the larger company as part of a deal with private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP. Cerberus bought a 17% stake in the parent company and acquired 80% of New Avon, which separated the unprofitable division from Avon’s international business.

Nail products maker Jamberry named in October 2016 Elizabeth Thibaudeau as its new CEO.
Thibaudeau succeeded Adam Hepworth, who has led the company from its inception. Hepworth’s wife, Christy, co-founded Jamberry in 2010 with her two sisters, Lyndsey Ekstrom and Keri Evans.
Jamberry is known for its do-it-yourself nail wraps, which are applied using a heat and pressure technique. In addition to offering a wide range of original designs, the company has worked with the likes of Disney and the NFL to introduce special themed collections.
Jamberry expanded into Mexico, adding to operations in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia and New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
