Nerium - THE SHOCKING TRUTH - My Nerium Review

Nerium is a new direct to consumer company to hit the world of network marketing. Their flagship product is a skin cream applied to your face before you go to bed that is derived from The Nerium Plant and supposed to get rid of wrinkles, scarring, skin damage, etc. I was impressed enough by this company's story along with their before and after pictures that I thought I would do some due diligence regarding the company and their products. Not to mention their company owner Jeff Olsen is an icon in The world of Direct Selling and is a much sought after trainer and consultant within the industry. He has also probably written the most important book ever seen by our industry "The Slight Edge". I even took the plunge and spoke with Jeff personally and got some product to try out, while doing my due diligence. Unfortunately, I did not see the results after 30 days, that I thought or hoped that I might in a skin care product. I think I was happier with the results I had seen from other products, but the convenience of this product was superb, although getting past the smell did take a few applications. On a brighter note, I was very pleased with their packaging and branding (looks awesome!). Jeff obviously knows how to build and even in a bad economy people still need and want to look good.

The Nerium compensation plan looks to be a 3 X 3 uni-level type plan, very similar to one of my favorite plans in the industry - Visalus. The only real difference I could find between Nerium and Visalus' comp plan was that Nerium pays out a few levels deeper when you hit the top of the pay plan and offers a Lexus car program instead of The BMW Program offered by Visalus (except Visalus allows you to opt for the $300 Cash bonus vs. car & Nerium does not). What does this mean for someone joining Nerium? It simply means that if you invest in the $500 Biz Builder Package you will qualify for all commissions, and The Lexus Car Program - if you don't you will be leaving lots of money on the table, but still be rewarded for your efforts. With their compensation plan you will also be rewarded for obtaining customers - now isn't that a great idea. The comp plan is not too bottom or top heavy, so a new person could come in and start making money within their first few days in the business.

I like the look and feel of Nerium and think as they begin to grow their business to include more than their night skin cream - by adding cleansers, astringents, eye cream, etc, that they will continue to see growth from loyal customers and distributors.

The downside I see to Nerium is they have a ton of competition in skin care as skin care is a multi-billion dollar industry and many MLM Companies that have been around for awhile are already secure in that space (Nuskin, Arbonne, and Mary Kay). But Mr. Olsen also heads the research and management side of the business Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. Mr. Olsen has wisely surrounded himself with his close family and a team of corporate members that are well equipped, well known, knowledgeable, and poised for growth.. With that being said Nerium is a start up and the reality is that there is a huge risk/reward situation with any start up. A start up can be lucrative IF you get on a solid team early but there is no guarantee the company will be around in 5 years.

If you are a risk taker and like start-ups go for it. Keep in mind that your results will depend upon your ability to market, attract customers, and distributors to your business. If you feel that you lack the experience necessary to succeed in a brand new company or that maybe you don't have the risk factor for a start up 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

Beyond Organic - SHOCKING TRUTH - My Beyond Organic Review

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
