Herbalife Moves To Curb Rogue Sites

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Herbalife, the diet shake seller being probed over pyramid scheme accusations, is making another move to keep regulators at bay.
The Los Angeles company is banning independent web sites run by US distributors and migrating their businesses to a corporate-controlled hub (goherbalife.com).
The change, which goes into effect Nov. 15, is an attempt to exert more control over Herbalife’s sales force and follows some instances in which distributors were accused of making false health claims about the company’s products.

“The web sites are designed to be in compliance with applicable requirements about product claims and they provide a consistent brand image for Herbalife products,” the company said in its advisory, adding the goal is to “promote a level playing field for all members.”

The Federal Trade Commission opened an investigation into Herbalife after hedge fund activist Bill Ackman lobbied hard for a probe and placed a $1 billion short bet on the company.
Ackman, whose big Herbalife short is now closer to $2 billion, claims the company is a pyramid scheme in which distributors earn more money from recruiting other distributors than by selling products to the end user.
While Herbalife denies the allegations, it has taken steps to address some potential trouble spots, including a

DubLi Responds, Dustin Mitchell Never A Part Of Corporate

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
DubLi has responded to the recent accusations from Dustin Mitchell : 
Similar to other leading network marketing companies, DubLi Inc. and its CEO recently became the target of Dustin Mitchell’s libelous and slanderous attacks.
Mr. Mitchell claims to have served as a senior member of DubLi’s leadership team. He has filed a restraining order against DubLi CEO Michael Hansen, claiming that Mr. Hansen is “stalking” him. He has, on several occasions, attempted to contact several DubLi employees with stories about our position as a public company. He has claimed that the company owes him $12,000. These claims are utterly and demonstrably false.
Contrary to his public posts, Mr. Mitchell has never been a member of DubLi’s corporate staff, much less a member of its management team. Mr. Hansen has never met Mr. Mitchell and has never made any threats against him. While Mr. Mitchell did register to join DubLi, he never made his required payment and has yet to provide documentation or verification of such payment. His online representation of holding a DubLi corporate title as well as his hosting of a variety of social media pages using the company’s corporate names are all in violation of DubLi’s terms and conditions, and constitute a

Darin Kidd Inspires Success With Nerium International

by  •  • 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,
