by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Imagine never having to pay for a car in 20 years. That’s what one Crozet woman can claim after she picked up her ninth free car Thursday evening.
Gale Hughes is a Mary Kay sales director who says her last car payment was in 1996, when she started selling Mary Kay products. She earned her first free car within two years.
She earns the cars by meeting her sales quota every six months. Thursday, she picked up her ninth car, a black Chevy equinox with the Mary Kay emblem.

“Don’t give up. It’s that idea that I know that this is going to get me through because I know that I’ve worked in other companies for the school system and I know my absolute worst day in another company, for Mary Kay this is just so awesome,” Hughes said.

Hughes is the director of an entire team of sales consultants in the area. All of their teamwork goes toward earning the free cars.

Fueled By Isagenix, Swimmer Conquers Big Swim

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
On Sunday, August 17, 14-year-old Cali broke a 50-year-old world record. She became the youngest person since 1964 to complete The Big Swim.
This year, 50 swimmers attempted to cross the Northumberland Straight, an open body of water that forms the southern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and stretches from the shores of New Brunswick to the shores of Prince Edward Island—also known as The Big Swim with its 8.6 to 10.5 mile distance depending on the current. It’s an annual tradition for seasoned swimmers to fundraise money for Brigadoon Camp.
Cali’s goal was to raise $10,000 for Brigadoon—a camp that gives children with disabilities or chronic illnesses a chance to make connections with other children. It takes $1,000 to send one child to camp.
Fueled with Isagenix through a year’s worth of practice, Cali had one very important person in mind during her six-hour swim.
“I wanted to complete this swim for my cousin, Kevin, who died of brain cancer when he was 15,” explains Cali. “He never had the opportunity to go to camp, even though he wanted to. I want to give children these opportunities to be around others so they all know they’re supported.”

Another Wall Street Principal Shows Support For Herbalife

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Kyle Bass, founder and principal of Hayman Capital Management, says he believes Herbalife is not a ponzi scheme and is a legitimate business model on an interview with CNBC. He even goes as far as saying they’ve had one of their own traders sign up with Herbalife to gain an understanding of the model to make sure it’s legitimate. 
Bass became well-known after successfully predicting and benefitting from the subprime mortgage crisis by purchasing credit default swaps on subprime securities issued by various investment banks (similar to shorting the bonds).
Bass has since continued to attract media attention for his prediction of the European sovereign-debt crisis and his expectations regarding the economic future of Japan and Argentina.
Bass reminded CNBC viewers that Ackman originally went long on Pre-Paid Legal stocks (now a privately held company called Legal Shield) and shared his views on it not beign a pyramid scheme, nearly an identical explanation to why he thinks Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and is shorting that stock instead. 
How long Ackman will continue to battle the Herbalife stock remains to be seen as he placed a hefty $1 Billion dollar short on the company about a year ago. The Herbalife/Ackman battle has become one of the most talked about

SEC Action Against Zhunrize May Effect Dubli

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Recently the SEC alleges Zhunrize to drive a Pyramid Scheme and the SEC’s argument is “substantially all of Zhunrize revenue has comes from the sale of memberships (referred to as stores)”.
Dubli is a larger MLM with a simular e-commerce program and cashback shopping mall and has been expanding to the USA.
Dubli’s strategy is very open as it is a public company and has warned in its own report:
“Continuing analysis of the customer subscriptions, the inherent danger Dubli faces is that, in bundling so many subscription vouchers with paid affiliate memberships, there won’t be a significant amount of customers purchasing subscriptions”.
And:
We are subject to the risk that, in one or more markets, our network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with applicable law or regulations.
Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” or “chain sales” schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization’s products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria.
Affiliate membership to Dubli is available at three price-points:

Which one are you? Are you INSPIRED by the luxuries your MLM opportunity offers? If not you need a Forensic Networker attitude correction.
Ramin Mesgalou The Forensic Networker and CEO of Global Wealth Trade speaks out:
“INSPIRED or EXPIRED Forensic Mantra is part of my Forensic mindset boot camp for the non-believers because contrary to their self imposed belief, this type of lifestyle is NOT exclusive to the super rich, or super lucky, or super whatever name/excuse that you want to give it.”
These winners are ordinary people with extra ordinary habits and mindset that refuse to become part of the status quo stinking thinking culture that the world societies have adapted. The culture that blames the government, the boss, the taxes, the weather, the surrounding, parents, aunt Matelda for our lack of success.
Why am I sharing this and why is this relevant to you?
I know that after watching the highlight videos of incentives like the one we have below, most people get inspired and set targets to win the next major incentive with their company however my 25 years of experience has also shown me that there are three categories of people.

Avon Relaunches Marketing Plan And Focuses On U.S.

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
In an exclusive interview with Fortune magazine, CEO of Avon talks about a marketing plan they hope will revive their sales. 
Avon Products is betting heavily on an e-commerce and social-selling relaunch to get Avon back to profitability next year. The world’s largest direct seller of beauty products urgently needs to stanch an exodus of its famous Avon Ladies that has led both the size of salesforce and revenue in North America to fall by half in only a few years, and lose nearly $150 million.
Avon CEO Sheri McCoy (No. 27 on our Most Powerful Women list) sat down with Fortune for an exclusive interview, explaining why she thinks this initiative is so important and why she remains committed to the U.S. market.
Why the U.S. remains a priority even as some industry and Wall Street analysts say Avon should pack it in in its home market:

“To not compete in one of the largest markets in the world doesn’t make sense.”
“It’s the founding country of the brand- there are a lot of roots to the brand.”
“It’s easy to say, let’s walk away from it—I don’t think it’s the right thing to do.”

“Beauty and direct-selling in the U.S. are both growing: so it’s attractive from that standpoint.”
