A Review on Isagenix International - The Network Marketing Business Opportunity
December 13, 2008 10:50 PM
Isagenix was founded in March of 2002. This
network marketing company markets a
wide variety of health and nutritional related products. Their product line is
based on a three step guiding principle: cleanse, replenish and revitalize.
This network marketing company has two areas of focus that it considers as a
competitive advantage. Their first focus is their product line where they
stress a high level of quality and effectiveness. Their second focus is their
compensation plan where they stress profitability and ease to understand
Isagenix - The Product Line
Isagenix offers a number of health related products. Its premier product is
known as the Cleanse For Life program. The formula is designed to increase
energy, reduce weight and balance digestion.
The company offers a wide variety of food related products such as shakes,
soups, bars and snacks. All of these foods are designed to reduce cravings so
that the customer can enjoy weight loss.
The company also has a skin care line as well. The lineup is designed to improve
skin care by making it smoother, reducing the signs of aging and other benefits.
Isagenix Compensation Plan
There are five ways you can make money in the Isagenix compensation plan.
The first way is through retail sales. When you sign up as a distributor you
get access to the product line at wholesale prices. You can turn around and
sell the product retail. The difference that you earn is considered profit.
The wholesale price is 30 to 40% lower than the retail price.
The second way you get paid is in the form of Product Introduction Bonuses.
When you recruit a new associate into Isagenix and that associate purchases a
product introduction package, you receive a bonus of anywhere from $10 to $80
one time depending on which package they order.
As an example, if your distributor ordered one Cleansing President's Pack, which
is their most comprehensive package, you would receive a $80 bonus.
The third way you get paid is off the sales made from the Isagenix distributors
on your team. Isagenix has a binary compensation plan. This occurs when you
personally
recruit at least two representatives who will make up
the left and right side of your binary compensation plan.
Isagenix pays on cycles. To accumulate a cycle you need to accumulate 900
points total. You can count 600 points from your strongest leg and 300 points
on your weakest leg. Points accumulate until these numbers are reached.
One these numbers are reached, 600 points gets deducted from the total points in
your strongest leg and 300 points from your weakest legs. You get to keep the
remaining points left over if any and you earn $54.
As an example, if your first leg signs up 2 new distributors who each orders the
President's Pak (worth 300 points each) and your second leg signs up 1 new
distributor who also orders the pack, that will earn you $54.
You also earn an Executive bonus as long as you can maintain at least 5
distributors on both sides of the binary that order 100 points worth of product
a month. These are distributors that you personally enroll. Whatever they
make, you make 10% of that amount.
Isagenix Business Disadvantages
There are a number of disadvantages to the Isagenix program that you need to be
aware of.
The health and nutritional market is a highly competitive marketplace. You may
have a customer on the Isagenix products only to find out that they have
canceled their order because they found something comparable or cheaper.
With a binary compensation plan you can lose out on a lot of money if you
recruit a superstar distributor. Even though that distributor is bringing in a
lot of volume, your weaker leg may not be keeping up. As such you lose out on
the cycle counts.
One thing that Isagenix does do that is better than most binaries is they allow
you to continue to accumulate the points until you lose them. Therefore once
the second leg starts to catch up, you will get paid on that volume eventually.
Is CarbonCopyPro The Right Network Marketing Opportunity For You -by Kevin Thomas

CarbonCopyPro is the internet marketing arm for a company called Wealth Masters
International, which is a network marketing company that specializes in
financially based educational products and services that are geared towards
empowering and educating its members on how to take charge of their own
financial futures. Many of the problems our economy faces today are a direct
result of mismanagement of personal as well as company finances.
CarbonCopyPro is based on the
funded proposal
concepts of Magnetic Sponsoring, but
where Magnetic Sponsoring is generic in
its design and can be used to market any product, CarbonCopyPro is specifically
designed to market Wealth Masters International. There is an upfront application
fee of $37.00 dollars before joining the company, and an entrepreneurial
questionnaire that you have fill out before you're accepted into the
opportunity. Sort of a way to let them know if you are serious about the
business and becoming an entrepreneur. Once your application is approved you are
then set up with a user name and password to access the system.
Business In A Box
Even though CarbonCopyPro is not generic they do offer a product called business
in a box or BIB for short. It's a product that they sell for $395.00 dollars and
is well worth the money. It comes with two training manuals and three DVD's. The
first manual welcomes you to the CarbonCopyPro system and is designed to set you
up with a plan to get started with your business. It also introduces you to the
different levels of the Wealth Masters International business opportunity as
well as how to set up your account in your back office. The second manual is
your definitive guide to marketing online with the CarbonCopyPro marketing
system, or as they call it marketing 101.There is also a 30 day journal
marketing guide to help you keep track of your progress as you move forward with
your business. The DVD's are as follows.
DVD#1) Millionaire Mindset.
DVD#2)Understanding Online Marketing.
DDVD#3)Web 2.0 Mastery.
You'll also get a free DVD a couple of days later titled "Inside Out" your
million dollar game plan, an exclusive interview with Jay Kubassek founder of
the CarbonCopyPro and network marketing industry leader
Mike Dillard,
author of Magnetic Sponsoring and
MLM Traffic Formula.
Business in a box is surely packed with cutting edge internet network marketing
instruction and information. It can also be a great way to earn while you learn
and generate some income before joining the primary product line of Wealth
Masters International. The commission fees for the sale of one unit is $200.00;
not bad considering the initial cost is $395.00 dollars for the product itself.
CarbonCopyPro: Getting Started
Once you are accepted into the CarbonCopyPro opportunity you'll find that the
instructions are well laid out and easy to follow. Included in your back office
is your own personal startup guide, excellent support and encouragement from
your sponsor, and a massive 30 day action marketing plan. Another great resource
CarbonCopyPro members can take advantage of are the daily coaching and training
calls hosted by leaders within the company.
For those people who are serious about becoming an internet entrepreneur
CarbonCopyPro provides all the tools necessary. These resources are constantly
being updated as the internet continues to evolve. Besides the obvious learning
curve which of course is determined by each individual situation, whether full
time or part time anyone can be successful with this system.
While CabonCopyPro is not a franchise, it does have many similarities. After 20
years of being an offline franchise owner myself, my advice if you're just
beginning with your online business aspirations, is to familiarize yourself with
at least the basics of online marketing and developing an entrepreneurial
mindset. A great site to help you to do this would be
Marketing Merge.
This opportunity is for serious entrepreneurs and business people only. It
requires persistence, determination and especially an abundance mindset, so if
you don't think you're ready at this point I wouldn't even consider it.
CarbonCopyPro is definitely positioning itself to be one of the top internet
marketing opportunities in the network marketing industry for years to come and
they're building a track record to prove it.
LifePath Unlimited Focuses on The 2 Most Important Factors in Achieving Success in Network Marketing -by Scott Hubbard
November
25, 2008 4:30 AM
LifePath Unlimited stands out as a network marketing company.
I've been in network marketing industry for almost 7 years now. I'll have to
admit that my first few years were a dismal failure.
But I look back upon those early years as a fantastic learning experience. I
have learned the 2 most important factors in achieving personal success in
internet and network marketing. First, you must believe in yourself. Secondly,
you must learn how to market your business in the most effective way.
II've looked at many network marketing opportunities in the last 7 years. One
stands out above all the others because it places emphasis on these two
factors. That company is LifePath Unlimited.
Listed below are the two factors which are the most critical in achieving
personal success in a home
based business. It also shows how LifePath Unlimited embraces both of them.
1. A Successful Internet Network Marketer Must
Believe in Himself
When I started my network marketing career, I had 20 years of experience as a
Chief Financial Officer. I thought that success would carry over easily into a
home business. I was wrong. Network marketing is a completely different
situation.
You must have a different mindset. You must have total confidence in yourself.
It took me some time to learn the accounting and finance skills I needed to
perform the duties of my CFO position. Likewise, it takes time to master the
proper mindset to use in your home business.
LifePath Unlimited is a personal development company that offers life-changing
products to its customers and associates.
The LifePath Product Line is Personal
Development
Most network marketing companies recommend that you study personal development.
LifePath Unlimited is one of only a very few network marketing companies that
actually offers a superior product line in personal development. By marketing
this product line, an associate has the potential of earning a significant
current and residual income.
Almost everyone has heard of the very popular movie, "The Secret." LifePath
Unlimited picks up where "The Secret" leaves off by showing
how to apply the
Law of Attraction. It has positioned
itself in front of two of the most powerful trends in the business world today.
It is combining a stand-alone personal development product line with the massive
home based business market.
This product line helps you discover your full potential and transform your
personal and financial life into the best it can be. That is exactly what is
needed to be a successful internet network marketer.
The company focuses on applying the Law of Attraction. Its entry-level product,
the Discovery Series, includes a DVD "The Awakening" plus an 8 CD series.
This CD series includes 14 of the top personal development trainers in the
industry plus Patrick Combs who is a co-founder and Director of Product
Development for LifePath Unlimited. They provide their knowledge and insight on
each of the eight major topics included in the Discovery series. It also
includes a 56 day online interactive course which goes into these topics on a
deeper level.
Other products are the Breakthrough and Destiny conferences.
The bottom line - to be a successful internet network marketer, you must believe
in yourself. LifePath Unlimited teaches you how to do this. It is their
business. This is unlike other network marketing companies that only suggest
you get good personal development training.
2. A Successful Network Marketer Must Learn How
to Market Their Business in the Most Effective Way
You are maybe like me. My first few years in network marketing were spent
chasing after my family, friends, and acquaintances where I tried to get them to
join my business. I spent hours making cold calls to purchased lists of leads.
These methods fail for most networkers.
A major factor in attaining success in internet and network marketing is to
attract prospects to you using attraction marketing methods.
LifePath Unlimited is an "internet friendly" company. It encourages its
associates to promote themselves. It encourages them to get the best attraction
marketing training available. This detailed, step by step online training is
available at a very reasonable cost.
I feel that the success that LifePath Unlimited is having today is because of
its focus on these two factors.
Mannatech Health and Wellness Industry Products -by Pat Campbell
November
25, 2008 4:00 AM
Mannatech recognizes that nutrition is greatly compromised with green harvest,
agricultural practices and food processing. Mannatech chooses to focus on
four-core nutrition supplement products that provide a simple, comprehensive
health protection approach.
Mannatech owns more than 43 patents world wide on its cornerstone immune support
product, AMBROTOSE. Mannatech has developed Optimal Health Products that work.
BounceBack, for example, has been shown to work significantly when used alone to
reduce muscle pain and soreness with overexertion and physical activity; to
provide optimal joint and cartilage support; and provide antioxidant support. Do
you know any weekend warriors who would like a quality product like this?
Another example of a market demand product is OsoLean. OsoLeanTM has been shown
in a clinical study to promote fat loss while maintaining muscle in combination
with a reduced-calorie diet and proper exercise. Mannatech has found consumer
satisfaction and demand for this product this quarter surpassing market
expectations by tens of thousands of units.
Paraben-free Optimal Skin Care products are making men and women in each world
market very happy about using superior nutritional skin support for younger
looking faces.
Mannatech as a network marketing company uses best marketing practices, bringing
products to market that answer questions about what the body naturally needs for
good health. This health and wellness industry business opportunity gives
network marketing distributor assurance that they have products that work, are
simple, are beneficial, unique and scientifically tested.
After 14 years of marketing superior products in 12 world markets, Mannatech
provides a 100% six-month satisfaction guarantee on all products. This warranty
is unsurpassed in the nutrition supplement industry. Mannatech stands behind
it's products this way because they work.
Mannatech's Health and Wellness Markets
Baby Boomers are driving the Health and Wellness Industry.
Paul Zane Pilzer in his book, The Perfect
Storm of Opportunity, states: "But as the baby boomers begin to reach their
60s, wellness is becoming an investment more and more of our population is
turning toward."
Pilzer projects that the wellness industry will exceed $1Trillion in the next
decade.
Mannatech, as stated earlier, is implementing strategic planning to be one of
the 20 companies marketing to 80% of this Trillion-dollar market.
Mannatech products work to enhance health and wellness for baby boomers.
Mannatech home based business success provides a substantial income opportunity
for every age group.
The Gen X group of age 30-43 are targeted with these unique products for
increased performance and wellness.
Mannatech has additional sport support products for the markets of elite
athletes, weekend warriors and support for those who experience extra physical
exertion of any kind.
Gen Y turn to Wellness Products because they understand better the need to eat
well to be well.
Each of these age groups in this economic time is looking for a home business
income opportunity. There is a more entrepreneurial energy. With the world
economy as it is in the fourth quarter of 2008, many are looking to take their
futures into their own hands with the best home based business.
Many entrepreneurs are looking to use the Internet as their vehicle of choice to
build their businesses.
Internet network
marketing skills are specific and can be learned by anyone willing to work
through the learning curve.
Mannatech health and wellness products can readily be marketed online with the
Mannatech tools and your Internet marketing savviness.
Landing pages with lead capture opportunities can be built to take your target
market to your Mannatech business.
Internet attraction marketing is a skill set anyone can learn. I have turned to
Renegade University and the
internet network marketing skills taught there by Mike Klingler and his team.
These skills will assist all Mannatech associates to market online.
Mannatech also provides more than personal health and wealth. Mannatech provides
purpose and the ability to give back. The value of this sense of contributing
somehow surpasses the material gains achieved with this business opportunity.
iLearningGlobal:
Positioned To Meet The Needs Of Today's Internet Network Marketers? -by Shelly Begarowicz
November
25, 2008 11:27 PM
Network marketing has come of age; the archaic prospecting methods of the past
are history. A new generation of internet network marketers demands a new kind
of
network marketing company.
One that is global in scope and meets the unique needs of attraction based
internet network marketers. Does iLearningGlobal have the "right stuff"?
The network marketing industry has broken out of
the dark ages of old school MLM and into the light of a new century.
Gone are the days of "mall crawling", "cold calling" and "the 3 foot rule".
With the advent of attraction marketing, the "when in doubt, shout it out"
mentality of network marketing is dead and buried. Thank goodness!
Internet attraction marketing allows us to be choosey about whom we partner
with. In fact, it forces us to be... and that doesn't mean only our downline. We
are learning to be choosey about the type of network marketing company we are
willing to partner with. And also the type of mlm training we want as well!
Is iLearningGlobal a network marketing company
for an internet world?
The internet has changed everything. For those willing to learn internet
marketing skills, it has leveled the playing field so we can now compete with
the "big guys".
Internet attraction marketing has also changed what network marketers look for
in top network marketing companies.
What today's internet network marketers need...
1. A company that operates on a global scale
2. A product that has broad based appeal
3. Competitive pricing and an easy to understand pay plan
4. A company that won't hamper their marketing efforts
5. Account access 24/7 via the internet
Does iLearningGlobal have what it takes to
succeed in today's global arena?
ILG is an online business with a personal learning/education product that is
available 24/7 to anyone with an internet connection.
Personal development and success modeling are the hallmarks of all successful...
ie. Rich... people. Successful people never stop learning.
This does not necessarily mean "formal" education. Actually formal "grade"
level has little to do with your personal or financial success. In fact, some
of the richest people in the world never finished school. Case in point...Bill
Gates dropped out of college. But did he stop learning? NO! Has he been
successful? Well... I'll let you answer that one.
For successful people life is an endless adventure of self improvement.
The iLearningGlobal.TV community is a center of independent learning. It is
helping people learn and improve themselves every day. They have assembled the
top trainers and speakers in all areas of self development, personal
improvement, business training, life skills, tax and financial strategies within

path or pick and choose your educational experiences at will. Content is added

Strategies, Public Speaking to Networking Marketing, Goal Setting to Advertising
Strategies... There is something here for everyone.
The compensation plan is straight forward and easy to understand. There are no
legs to balance or matrixes to fill. You can enroll any number of people on
your first level and you earn a simple percentage of all the proceeds generated
by those under you.
iLearningGlobal meets the needs of savvy 21st Century network marketers. It is
a global network marketing company with a broad appeal e-product accessible from
anywhere one has internet access. ILG has risen to the challenge and met the
demands of internet network marketers head on. "When in doubt, shout it out"
marketing is well dead and buried for good. The network marketing industry has
indeed come of age and ILG is leading the charge into the future!
Kyani vs Tahitian Noni — Which Network Marketing Opportunity Is Better?
November 16, 2008 12:47 PM
Since Kyani opened its doors in 2005 there are lots of comparisons made between the Kyani network marketing opportunity and many of the other juice opportunities. In particular, many of these comparisons have been directed at the Tahitian Noni opportunity.
The wholesale prices of the two juices are both about $30 a bottle if you purchase a $120 monthly autoship. They both retail for about $40 a bottle. However, Tahitian Noni has a number of knock offs that sell similar products for significantly less. There are several retailers where you can purchase similar Noni products for $10 a bottle.
Does Kyani or Tahitian Noni Cost More To Get Started?
To get started in Kyani there is a one time investment of $495 for a product start-up kit. You also have to order $120 worth of products a month.
Tahitian Noni is a one time investment of $35 as long as you stay on the $120 monthly autoship. If you cancel the autoship, the $35 charge becomes an annual fee. This makes the startup cost for Tahitian Noni significantly less than Kyani.
Both companies can be marketed by using internet network marketing strategies. The key is to focus on network marketing distributors who are unhappy by first providing quality content to help them build their business. As you build a relationship with them you will eventually be able to recruit some of them over to Kyani or Tahitian Noni.
Kyani 3x7 Matrix Compensation Plan vs Tahitian Noni 8 Level Uni-Level Compensation Plan
Kyani and Tahitian Noni have two completely different types of compensation plans. Both companies allow you to earn retail profits based on selling your products wholesale to a retail customer. Kyani's retail profits are significantly higher assuming you can move it at that price.
Kyani's team building compensation plan is based on a 3X7 forced matrix plan. What this means is that you can build 3 separate legs of distributors up to 7 levels deep. It will take a little over 2000 representatives to fill up the entire matrix.
You earn 3.5% off the wholesale orders of ALL distributors regardless of where they are in the Matrix. So each time a new distributor joins your team and gets in the $120 autoship you earn $4.20 a month. You also earn $50 for each distributor you personally sponsor at the $495 rate.
Kyani also pays you a $25 commission each time any of your personally sponsored representatives gets a new recruit at the $495 rate. Once you sponsor and maintain at least 3 active distributors you earn 50% of whatever they make and 100% of whatever they make once they each have 3 active distributors.
Tahitian Noni uses a Unilevel compensation plan that is 8 levels deep. This means you can sponsor as many legs as you want wide and you get paid on a maximum of 7 levels deep. You earn 20% on level 1, 5% on levels 2 — 4 and 10% on level 5 for each recruit's first 60 days.
After the first 60 days, you get paid on the volume of anywhere from 3 to 8 levels depending on what position you are in the compensation plan. You get 1% on level 1, 5% on levels 2-3, 6% on levels 4-5, 7% on levels 6-7 and 8% on level 8. If you are on the $120 autoship you will start off getting paid on at least 4 levels.
Which Network Marketing Company Is Better For You?
Kyani's compensation plan is more lucrative than Tahitian Noni's for most distributors. A Kyani distributor who recruits 10 reps earns $500 up-front plus $42 a month. A Tahitian Noni distributor who recruits 10 reps earns only $240 month 1, $240 month 2 and $12 each additional month assuming all 10 reps are placed on the 1st level.
If you're looking for the opportunity that is the safest and most secure, Tahitian Noni is the better opportunity. Kyani's been around for only 3 years so we don't know if they are going to make it. Tahitian Noni has been around for over 13 years so they have passed the critical 10 year mark.
However, if you're willing to take a greater risk to make greater income, Kyani's clearly the better opportunity. The money is greater and there is less competition from retailer knock offs.
Isagenix as Your Next Network Marketing Business: Should You Hitch Your Wagon? -by Becky Joubert
November 2, 2008 11:27 PM
Network Marketing businesses are being marketed from thousands of home based businesses.
Everybody has a Network Marketing business that wants one. Those that don't, think they know what they're missing.
Here's a look at a profitable, International Network Marketing company that markets world-class nutritional products, and more.
The Isagenix Overview: Isagenix is now recognized world wide for its healthy, non-toxic approach to nutrition and living. In the 6 years since Isagenix was founded, the network marketing company has surpassed 500 million in sales; created over 20 millionaires, and has helped more than 114 people lose more than 100 pounds, and 7 people lose more than 200 pounds. That only accounts for weight loss; not improved health and wellness.
This Network Marketing company is the world's leader in nutritional cleansing. Isagenix offers systems for weight loss, long term wellness, and skincare, utilizing only the finest world class ingredients to go into their products. They have a "no-compromise" approach to quality.
It is a privately owned company founded by Dr. John Anderson, a Master Formulator, who has created more than 2300 nutritional products for over 600 companies; and now puts his name on Isagenix.
Isagenix has a 62,000 sq.ft. facility in Chandler, Arizona and is open for business in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. They have experienced a 296% growth increase over the last 4 years, with 200,000 members worldwide. These are not shabby figures considering the multitude of nutritional Network Marketing companies.
Dr John Gray, PhD (Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus), and Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul, and The Secret), have both been a part of Isagenix since 2003 and write about Isagenix in their books. It always helps to have famous people involved!
The Isagenix Philosophy: Isagenix philosophy is based on assisting the bodies' ability to naturally remove toxins and impurities using organic nutrients. Co-founders Jim and Kathy Coover say the Isagenix vision is "to impact world health and free people from physical and financial pain, and in the process create the largest health-and-wellness company in the world."
Nutritional cleansing is an ancient tradition that has been practiced throughout history in order to rejuvenate and de-toxify the body naturally. Benefits of cleansing include long term weight loss, mental clarity, increased energy, and optimum health. It is considered to be the missing link!
Isagenix Products and Compensation
Isagenix products bring optimum health, while the compensation plan helps to set associates financially free. It is an unbeatable combination of opportunity and product. The founding principle behind their cutting-edge products is Cleanse, Replenish and Revitalize.
The Isagenix nutrient-dense products enable customers as well as associates to achieve optimum health because of the quality of the ingredients and the nutrients involved. Since it is factually known that the majority of our foods are "dead" foods and nutritionally deficit, it stands to reason that consuming "live" whole foods with organic nutrients selected for their health benefits will rejuvenate every cell in our body from the inside out.
The Isagenix binary compensation plan is very easy to understand, and is one of the most generous plans in the network marketing industry. You can make money from referring, retailing, residual income, and bonuses. Understanding compensation plans can be difficult. Look for a company that provides several different ways to earn. Contests with trips, prizes and cash are big incentives!
The Decision Joining a Network Marketing company involves a big decision, or does it? A lot of network marketing companies have a very minimal upfront membership fee. It is no different than joining Sam's club for their discount prices.
The decision to move from a wholesale membership into a Network Marketing business is merely a monthly commitment, or autoship. In order to justify a monthly autoship, you should really like the products!
Become a customer first; make a business decision when you feel that it is a network marketing business you want to promote and enjoy for years to come. My advice is: even if you didn't make a dime, make sure there is something in it for you!
Health is BIG business.
The fact that Isagenix is a Health and Wellness company could be a deciding factor. More and more of us are taking our health into our own hands and out of Doctors' hands. There is big money in any company that has products that produce positive changes in the health of those that are in less than perfect health. That would be most of us.
Paul Zane Pilzer, a well known economist and author of The Wellness Revolution, states "that more millionaires will be made in the Health and Wellness industry that any other."
As Americans, we are an unhealthy bunch. Choose wisely and consider a Network Marketing business that can supply money as well as another important asset: your health!

GeneWize officially launched as a direct marketing arm of GeneLink on August 1st, 2008. This network marketing company is
currently providing individuals with a customized nutritional supplement based on their own
DNA assessment. This is a relatively new scientific field with considerable upside potential,
but does GeneWize have what it takes to take advantage of this breakthrough?
How Does GeneWize Work?
Variations in the
DNA sequences of humans, commonly referred to as SNP's (single nucleotide polymorphisms — pronounced "snips"), can affect how humans
develop diseases and respond to pathogens, chemicals, drugs, vaccines, and other agents. SNPs are also thought to be key
enablers in realizing the concept of personalized medicine and nutrition.
GeneWize scientists have chosen twelve specific SNP's to
be measured for the Healthy Aging Assessment, using the following criteria:
Valid —
The existence of the SNP is supported by solid, credible, scientific evidence. Gene SNPs
are added as knowledge progresses. If there is no scientific data to support the validity of the
SNP, it will not be used.
Important —
A SNP predicts biochemical processes that are associated with significant, specific physiological disadvantages. In other words,
the SNP has to be related to something that matters to our health.
Frequent — The SNP frequency is relatively common among the general
population.
If the SNP only occurs in .008% of the population, it would not make sense to add it to the assessment.
Actionable — A SNP's negative potential can be modulated by nutritional
supplementation. A SNP for eye color would not be used, for example, because it cannot be altered with nutritional support.
In order to help compensate for any predicted deficiencies, "genetically selected ingredients" and nutrients (called SNPboostsTM)
are titrated and blended into the individual nutritional formulation. This personalized formulation is mixed for you each
month and delivered to you.
How Does GeneWize Compare on Price?
GeneWize is
not the only company offering personalized nutritional solutions, but their patents seem to give them a competitive advantage.
They are able to produce a more customized product at a price point that beats other companies offering DNA-Based Nutrition. For
a company to be able to sustain itself for years, its product must be able to compete with the retail sector independently of any business
opportunity associated with it. Even without the compensation plan and customer referral program, GeneWize appears to offer the best
product for the money.
How DNA Samples are Submitted
The sample kit consists of two cotton swabs for the inside of your cheek, a drying rack, and a bar-coded envelope to place the swabs in.
There is an 800 number to call which will be used to link the envelope to the corresponding account in the company database. This ensures that
the genetic material will remain completely confidential and safe. Once the lab has analyzed the DNA to assess the 12 SNP's, they destroy
the sample using proper industry standards.
GeneWize is a Ground-Floor Opportunity
GeneWize
has patents and patents pending which give them a competitive advantage. This is a new network marketing company
with a ground-breaking technology which addresses people's needs to take the guesswork out of buying their
nutritional supplements.
There are pros and cons associated with any new network marketing opportunity.
A ground-breaking industry offers a lot of upside potential, but the company's management needs to be strong and the growth
strategy must allow for hiccups along the way.
GeneWize appears to have a solid team and strategy for moving
forward. Still, anyone looking to pursue a business with this type of opportunity must anticipate some growing pains
along the way.
What is the GeneWize Compensation Plan?
GeneWize has made a
clear distinction between customers and affiliates. The incentive to enroll as an affiliate is to generate an income, not
just to save on the price of the product, as with many other MLM's. Anyone can save on the price of the product, whether
they are an affiliate or a customer, through the customer referral program. Every time a customer or affiliate refers a new
product user, the referrer receives a discount on their product each month the new user is ordering theirs. The discount
increases exponentially with each new referral, and it only takes four personally referred customers to get your own product for free.
All of these referrals are considered to be in the business affiliate's direct customer base. Additionally,
once an affiliate has sponsored four customers or affiliates themselves, their monthly company costs are reduced to just the shipping
charges. This will greatly reduce the high attrition rate seen in most network marketing companies, since operating expenses are
then focused solely on marketing. You could treat this purely as a direct sales company, and do quite well as your customers become
a secondary sales force.
The compensation plan offers four ways to earn income:
1. Direct Sales
2. Team Sales 3. Matching Income Bonus 4. Incentive Programs
Does GeneWize Provide Network Marketing Training and Support?
GeneWize offers innovative support tools, such as a video prospecting system, weekly corporate support and training calls, and
daily newscasts sent via email. Still, the marketing you use will depend largely upon you and your network marketing team.
When considering marketing strategy, there are several distinct groups to market to, including health and wellness professionals, baby boomers, young college graduates and other network marketers. Attraction marketing plans can be customized to suit each of these niches.
If you are interested in the potential GeneWize offers, make sure you are taking full advantage of
all the new tools and resources available today to build your network marketing business efficiently by
generating your own leads.
If you have already enrolled as an affiliate, ask your upline what they know about attraction marketing.
If they are unfamiliar with it, direct them to learn more about it along with you. You'll both be glad you did.

Xango was founded in November of 2002. The
company's premiere product is XanGo Juice, a Mangosteen supplement that is
reported to have a number of different health benefits.
This network marketing company is based on two
things.
First, it is based on the health and
nutritional benefits of its Mangosteen based products.
Second, it is based on a compensation plan that
pays out 50% of all earnings received to the sales force.
The Xango Product Line
Xango currently has three products that you are
able to offer out in the marketplace. The three products that make up Xango's
product lineup are XanGo Juice, XanGo Single and XanGo 3SIXTY5.
XanGo Juice is the premiere product of the
Xango product line. It comes in a bottle that contains 750ml of the juice.
Based on the recommended servings, a bottle can last a week to a little over
three weeks for a single person.
Their competitive advantage is that their Juice
contains more Xanthones than any other product. Xanthones are reported to have
a number of different benefits to the body including being an antioxidant.
Xango Single is a miniature form of the Juice
that is primarily used as a method of exposure to the Xango product line.
Unlike the Juice, the singles are portable, miniature and don't require any
refrigeration.
Xango 3SIXTY5 is a whole food vitamin and
mineral nutritional supplement that comes in two versions. One is for men and
the other is for women. It is specifically designed for people who don't get
the necessary daily fruit and vegetable intake.
Xango Compensation Plan
The company prides itself on a compensation
plan that pays out 50% commission on each product sold by the distributor sales
force. There are four ways you get paid in the Xango compensation plan.
The first method of compensation is retail
sales. As a Xango distributor you are able to purchase the product at a
wholesale price and sell it at a retail price. You get to keep the difference
as profit.
The wholesale price is $100 for 4 bottles. The
bottle retails for $37.50, so if you are able to sell all 4 bottles at retail
price you make $50 profit.
The second way you get paid is in the form of
PowerStart bonuses. When you recruit a new Xango distributor, you get paid
anywhere from 20% to 30% commission on the initial order made by that new
distributor.
As an example, if your distributor ordered two
cases, you would receive $60 or $90 commission. To qualify for the higher bonus
amount you will need to be on a company auto-ship that works out to about $200 a
month.
The third way you get paid is from the product
orders of distributors on your team that are above and beyond the initial
product order. You receive 2%, 5% or 10% commission on up to 9 levels of
distributors in your organization.
However, if one of your distributors doesn't
qualify to earn income on a certain level and you do, the income that
distributor "would have" earned goes directly to you.
This is called streamline or dynamic
compensation and you could potentially get paid twice for the same production or
once on production you otherwise wouldn't get paid on.
For the top leaders in the company, Xango
splits 3% of overall sales volume commissions with them as well.
Xango Network Marketing Business
Disadvantages
There are several disadvantages to starting a
Xango business typically found when starting any type of network marketing
business in the health and wellness industry.
One of the biggest challenges is the high level
of competitiveness in this market. You are competing with any company that
offers health related products. In addition, retailers are now entering the
market and offering Mangosteen based juices for significantly below Xango's
retail price.
Because you only get paid on a certain number
of levels, there is a huge potential to have a major player show up in your down
line only to find yourself being cut off by distributors who aren't building
much but keep their product order to remain qualified.
The other disadvantage is that true residual
income is limited with this network marketing opportunity. This is because the
company offers a physical product that has to be re-ordered every month. There
is an auto-ship option however.
For Network Marketers Success University Feeds Two Birds With One Seed
Many argue that personal development is an integral part of becoming the leader of your network marketing business. Successful leadership means becoming someone capable of mentoring and assisting other network marketers, and growing a substantial organization that earns a residual, full time supportive income.
