Beyond Organic is a new direct to consumer company to hit the world of network marketing. Their products are primarily grocery based products (spring water, cheese, milk, steaks, hot dogs, etc...). The cool thing about Beyond Organic is they may attract people that are looking to change their eating habits and get good quality food delivered directly to their door. The other thing I like is they have an outstanding company owner Jordan Rubin who has had enormous success in the world of getting healthy through eating better (he is a best selling author of many books). Don't quite know how that is going to play out in the world of network marketing, but with the rise of healthier food chains like Sprouts, Trader Joes, and fast food restaurants like Chipotle, and hit documentaries like "Super Size Me" and "Food Inc." - the timing for a company like Beyond Organic could not be better as people are just simply becoming more aware of what they should eat and what they shouldn't eat.
Their compensation plan looks to be a uni-level type plan, so you will get paid not only on people you refer to your site to purchase products as a retail customer, but also on those who buy a membership (similar to Costco or Sam's Club) for $19.95 per year at a 20% discount. They also have an option on their site where you can actually become a business builder and market your very own Beyond Organic Business via the internet or to people who you know personally and build a network and get paid on all of the sales created by your distributors and their customers and so on throughout your organization.
I like the look and feel of Beyond Organic and think as they begin to grow their business to include more than just dairy, cheese, meat, and chocolate, they could have something that not only attracts the business minded person, but also customers. The downside I see to Beyond Organic is I've only seen one other company attempt to do MLM through groceries and their shipping costs were a bit extravagant. I do think it can be done, if they can keep their pricing competitive to what's on the shelf, but when I looked at their retail pricing it did seem quite a bit higher than what I would pay at the local store. Again, a major problem with network marketing, you still have to have pricing competitive to what's on the shelf (especially with widely consumed products). Other than that, I can't see too many problems with becoming a distributor with Beyond Organic, at least most people are already spending money every month on milk, cheese, and meat. You don't have to convince people to buy some magic juice that they would never spend a $100 a month on if they weren't a distributor or in really bad health. Of course if I get hungry, I don't know if I can wait a week for the mailman to arrive - ha ha.. Keep in mind that 95% of all new MLM's do go belly up in their first 2 to 3 years, so know the odds are stacked against you with any start-up in the network marketing industry.
If you're concerned about the risk of going with a brand new company than take a look at my company which has seen double digit growth over the past 20 months, 7 years old, and is completely debt free. http://www.thehomebiz4you.com
