Industry Leader, Ata Mamedov, Joins Jeunesse

 
Continuing its trend of attracting some of the industry’s brightest stars to its ranks, Jeunesse is pleased to announce that Ata Mamedov, world-renowned multimillion-dollar earner and acclaimed author, has joined the company.
Ata’s rapid rise in MLM began in 1995 with an ascent to millionaire’s club status with his first company in merely three years. By 2005 he had built the company’s largest and most successful team in Europe, along the way penning Conversations with a Mental Sponsor in 1999. The book achieved bestseller status in the former Soviet Union.
In the ensuing decade, Ata’s tenure with another company saw him rocket to Diamond Director status, serve as an elected leadership council member, and reach top distributor ranking with a network of more than 100,000 distributors in 47 countries.

Capturing his attention with its explosive sales growth around the world and its game-changing youth enhancement products, Jeunesse quickly emerged as Ata’s choice for a new home. “What first caught my attention was the company’s rapid growth,” he explains. “Once I started learning about the products and impressive results people see, I realized that it (would) be very easy for me to work in this company.”

Ata’s main motivator is that he genuinely likes working

Herbalife Wins Court Approval For Class-Action Lawsuit

 
Herbalife Ltd won preliminary court approval of its $15 million settlement of class-action litigation accusing the maker of weight loss and nutritional products of being a “pyramid scheme” that misleads distributors about how much money they can make.
In a decision dated Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Beverly Reid O’Connell in Los Angeles called the accord “fair, reasonable, and adequate,” a standard often used to assess class-action settlements.
The accord also requires Herbalife to provide up to $2.5 million to distributors who return unused products.
In addition, Herbalife agreed to change some corporate policies, including over how it defines distributors and handles shipping charges on returned products, for at least three years.
The Los Angeles-based company did not admit wrongdoing. O’Connell scheduled a May 11, 2015 hearing to consider final approval of the accord. About $5.25 million of the settlement funds could go toward attorney’s fees.
Herbalife has long been under attack by short-sellers like billionaire hedge fund manager William Ackman, who has accused it of inflating results that depend more on its ability to recruit new distributors than its ability to sell products.
Authorities such as the FBI, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and some state attorneys general have also been probing Herbalife’s activities.
Herbalife has denied being

Heidi Ekstrom Poche’ Is Isagenix’ Newest Millionaire

 
Heidi understands better than most that moms really do know best.
Her Own Experience
Her mother, Shauna, also an Isagenix Millionaire, attempted for years to get her daughter to try Isagenix. Shauna would send Heidi products time and time again, but Heidi would usually let them pile up and eventually just give them away.
That changed when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. With the entire city shut down, it was nearly impossible to get food at the grocery stores. Heidi, who was eight months pregnant at the time, finally pulled out the Isagenix protein bars she had stashed away.
In 2007, after her daughter turned 1, Heidi was ready to embrace the Isagenix systems. She started using the Cleansing and Fat Burning Systems and lost about 20 pounds.*
“I believe people need to have their own experience that stamps it into their brain,” shares the newest Isagenix Millionaire. “It does something. My mom’s perseverance is what brought me here. But creating my own experience is what kept me here.”
Her results did not go overlooked.
“A lot of people really took notice after that,” remembers Heidi. “That let me know there was something to this idea of sharing with people.”

Possible New Utah Legislation May Affect Utah Based MLM Companies

 
The assistant attorney general in charge of protecting the Utah Division of Consumer Protection from overly curious consumers says he believes in the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.” Which, of course, he should.
But it might come as a surprise to the many other state and local prosecutors across Utah that Assistant A.G. Chè Arguello defines that principle as justifying a state law that keeps confidential all the consumer complaints the division receives, until and unless that agency actually takes some enforcement action against a company.
Were that the usual standard, there would be no public reporting of the names of, or evidence against, anyone accused of murder or theft until after they had been found guilty in court. Wouldn’t want to unfairly besmirch the name of anyone who hadn’t actually been convicted, now would we?
The State Records Committee last week upheld Arguello’s argument and allowed the Consumer Protection Division to continue to sit on any and all complaints lodged against a Provo-based multi-level marketing outfit called Wake Up Now. Because, apparently, state law on the matter is clear.
Which is why the Utah Legislature should change that law, and make such Consumer Protection Division records open to the public.
The matter was raised by a national nonprofit consumer watchdog called Truth in

Kim Eun Ji Is Synergy’s Newest Presidential Executive

 
While studying Optical Science and Business Management in college, Kim Eun Ji dreamed of running her own business instead of working in a standard office job.

“While I was looking for business items, my friend told me about network marketing. After hearing about it, I realized that it was the very business model that I was looking for. Helping someone and achieving my success at the same time? What a wonderful business that would be!”

She initially began working with local company in Korea and found success. But before long, she realized that she was being limited by that company and could not trust it to be reliable. It was at that time that she met Emerald Executive Yoon Ji Young who happily introduced her to Synergy. She then met with Double Presidential Executive Hwang Han Tae in Busan. After the meeting with Hwang Han Tae, she finally decided to work in Synergy.

“That was amazing! Everything I need to succeed was already in Synergy. Especially the products were the best in the world, and the best system in the world. I was convinced.”

Kim’s Synergy business grew well, but just as in most cases, it didn’t always work out the way she wanted.
