No More Excuses!

Okay everybody, I’m gonna make this short.

If you weren’t on the No Excuses webinar last night, then I feel for you… In spite of the technical difficulties that we had, it was an amazing webinar – COMPLETELY value packed.  (Half way through the webinar it kicked EVERYBODY off… even Ray and Ferny!  Mike Dillard said it was the very first double opt-in webinar ever attempted… and within minutes they were back to full capacity!)

Anyway, the event that they are putting together in Vegas will be taking place in July, and you would be INSANE to pass up an opportunity to spend this kind of time with these guys (and gal – Katie Freiling would kill me if I didn’t include her… :) ).

So go check out the details quick… there are only supposed to be about 1000 tickets and pretty much every major online marketer has sent emails to their lists which means the offer won’t be around for long!

Here’s the link…

Did Hell REALLY Just Freeze Over?

Hey everybody,

If you are plugged in to the online network marketing world at all, you have probably heard of some very unusual things that are about to happen. As industry legend Mike Dillard phrased it, “Hell has officially frozen over…

So what is creating all the commotion?!?

I’ll tell you what. I’m not about all the hype, so I’m just gonna cut straight to the chase.

Two very sharp business partners of mine, Raymond Fong and Ferny Ceballos, managed to pull something off that I never thought imaginable…

They have corralled 18 (yes, EIGHTEEN!) of the most insanely successful internet marketers from all the different companies in the network marketing industry to be at one event, where they will all share the things that  have and are working for them to build such massive network marketing businesses on the internet.

I can pretty much guarantee you that an event of this magnitude will NEVER happen again – if there is ANY way for you to be there, you need to do it. Your future success in this industry relies on it.

Here is a link to the webinar tomorrow night that they will be holding to tell you all about the details of it – DON’T MISS IT!

No Excuses Summit

Jús International – An Unbiased Review

Jus InternationalJús International is a network marketing company that started out sharing office space in the Boise area with its founders “other” business – a magazine called IQ Idaho that is no longer in print.

Jeffery Boyle was the original man behind the curtain at Jus – but no longer works there.  He was ousted by the investors from his command as the president of Jus along with his brother Brad and the rest of the management team.  The investors then stepped in and placed themselves at the helm.  This all happened in May of 2009.

The company headquarters have been relocated to Salt Lake City, UT and the executive staff has a whole new face, but I’ll get into who they are a little bit later.

For now, I just want you to know that I am in no way affiliated with Jus International, although I have had some friends and relatives that have been a part of the company at one point or another.   I tell you this to let you know that I am not basing this review off of some random information that I just looked up on the internet, although you can confirm some of it online if you know where to look.  As always, I want you to have the right information as you make a decision that can and will affect your long term financial situation.

Is Jús International a Scam?

Although I would probably never join Jús (more on that later), it is most definitely not a scam. They have a good product that undoubtedly benefits a lot of people, and a pretty good compensation plan for what it is. Furthermore, commissions are driven by sales of their product, and not by new enrollees. This is one of the major clues you will get as to whether a company is legit or not.

Potion or Lotion?

JúsJús International’s product is a health beverage by the name of j23 or Jús. It is a combination of three different “proprietary” blends – two of which include combinations of the 23 different superfoods that are in the bottle.

Here are the three blends and what they are supposed to do:

  • Herb & Mushroom Blend - Supports cardiovascular and immune system function.
  • Superfruit Blend - Helps provide your body with antioxidants and nutrients to protect it from damage and aging.
  • Resveratrol Blend - There is some controversy on whether Resveratrol actually does what it’s supposed to in humans, but it is said to benefit people with Alzheimer’s and even cancer. Jus doesn’t take it that far, however… they simply say that it is primarily known as an antioxidant and for its support of heart health.

The twenty-three superfoods that are included in the product are a variation of juices, purees, and extracts.  They include:

Goji Berry Juice (Wolfberry), Wild Blueberry Juice, Acai Puree, Goji Berry (Wolfberry) Extract, Cranberry Juice, Pomegranate Juice, Acerola Juice, Mangosteen Whole Fruit Puree, Sea Buckthorn Berry Puree, Aronia Juice, Wild Bilberry Extract, Wild Blueberry Extract, Cranberry Extract, Noni Juice Extract, Apple Extract, Aronia Extract, Mangosteen Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Tart Cherry Extract, Prune Extract, Raspberry Seed Extract, Strawberry Extract, and an Herb/Mushroom Blend.

Jús and ORAC

One of the things that they LOVE to tout at Jús is their ORAC score. (There are actually 5 different ones that they measure.) Because of all the different superfoods they have in their product, not only can they help benefit more people, but their ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score is off the charts.

Some people argue that the ORAC score is not the best way to measure a products health benefits, but either way, those numbers are impressive.

Others ask why they would only have the one product.  To this they respond that having only one product creates a more unified approach to marketing by the distributors.  I agree with this, because then all the distributors have the same tools and resources to use to build their business.  Having too many products is nice because you can have a little variety, but it can also cause a lot of confusion among distributors as it creates too many options, marketing tools, and significantly increases the training needed to be successful.

They are keeping it as simple as possible at Jús, which is a smart move in my opinion.

Who’s Running the Show?

The current corporate staff at Jús International is a completely different group than when it started – and I do mean completely.  In fact, there is not one person on the corporate staff that was there at the beginning.

Seth Miller Seth Miller is the current President of Jús International. He is a Utah native and loves basketball – he received a full ride basketball scholarship to Colorado Christian University, where he graduated in 1997 with a degree in communications and an emphasis on international business management. Shortly after graduating, he became an international business development manager for Tahitian Noni International. Twelve years and nearly 70 countries later, he became the Vice President of Global Markets for TNI. After only seven months in that role, he was given the role of President of Jús International.

Darrell IeremiaDarrel Ieremia is the Vice President of International Affairs at Jús. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1997 and quickly got a job from Tahitian Noni International as the General Manager over Mexico. In the beginning of 2005, he became the Director of International Development for TNI, where he stayed for a little over a year and a half. In August of 2006, he and some of his college friends started a new network marketing company based out of American Fork, Utah called CoreVital, which less than two years later closed its doors for business. After CoreVital imploded, he started his own side business to help network marketers expand their businesses internationally, and called it i2o International Outsourcing. Before finally getting a job with Jús International in September of 2009, he did a little work for 4Life Research, yet another network marketing company.

Pamela MercadoPamela Mercado is the Vice President of Marketing at Jús. She graduated from Michigan State University in 2001 with a degree in communications. Shortly thereafter, she became a sales representative for Pepsi. In March of 2003, she moved on to be a sales consultant for GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. While there, she played a big part in the promotion and sales of Levitra, a treatment for ED (similar to Viagra). She was in the top six in the nation for Levitra sales in 2003. In March of 2004, she moved on to Solvay Pharmaceuticals where she repeated her success as a sales representative. In March of 2006, she became the Director of Marketing and Field Sales for SUZANNE, a start-up network marketing company owned by Suzanne Sommers. Then, in September of 2008, she made one final change before becoming the VP of Marketing at Jús. She was the VP of Marketing and Sales at BioNovix, yet another network marketing company. However, her time at BioNovix was shortlived, as they closed their doors as of May of 2009.

Justin SerraJustin Serra is the Vice President of Operations at Jús. He is a Boise native and received a degree in business management and marketing from Boise State University. His bio on the corporate website is one that makes me question the veracity of the other corporate leaders’ bios. The “Boise-based technology company” that he was a division head for, was a small family business by the name of Bitsmart. It is still family owned and operated today. The paper crafting and scrapbooking company where he gained all his international sourcing and logistics experience and helped them grow over 300% in just two years was a company by the name of Chatterbox Inc. Unfortunately, that growth was all a big façade and Chatterbox Inc. ended up being a mini ENRON. Whether Justin helped report that 300% “growth” deliberately or negligently, I don’t know. Either way, his corporate bio is not as impressive as Jús International would have you believe.

Richard DurhamRichard Durham is currently the Chairman of Jús International. His resume is quite impressive… he graduated from the Wharton School of Business and the University of Pennsylvania. He has held several management and c-level positions at both Huntsman Packaging Corporation and Pliant Corporation, which are in all actuality the same company. Huntsman Packaging Corporation was renamed Pliant Corporation when it was sold to Chase Capital Partners. He has since been part of a number of private investment firms, which is where he came in for Jús. His private investing firm, Aries Capital Partners, is the primary investor for Jús International.

Cam DebuckCam DeBuck is the Vice President of Information Technology for Jús International. According to his bio on the corporate website, he brings over 20 years of IT and software development experience to Jús. He has worked for both Agel and Tahitian Noni International, both network marketing companies. It was hard to find any information online to confirm those facts, but I’m not too surprised – afterall, the IT guy usually isn’t in the spotlight.

Andrew DentAndrew Dent is one of Richard Durham’s partners at the private investment firm, Aries Capital Partners, and is also the Chief Financial Officer at Jús. He has a bachelors and a masters degree in accounting from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. He brings a lot more financial management experience to the table for Jús International.

Jason ReadingAnd finally, Jason Reading is the Chief Executive Officer at Jús International. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in accounting, and he went on to receive an MBA from Harvard Business School. He is also a partner at Aries Capital Partners, the principle source of long term funding for Jús International. He and Richard Durham formed it when they both left Peterson Partners, another investment firm they were a part of. He has also held positions at Leucadia National, Merrill Lynch, and Price Waterhouse. Something unique about Jason, is that he was a Major in the Army National Guard.

So in summary, the people that are running things at Jús are sharp – almost too sharp.  They seem to have plenty of experience under their belts both in and outside of network marketing.  However, the question of why the entire original executive staff was replaced makes me just ooze with curiosity.  What is the reason to get rid of the founders?  Were they mis-managing funds, or just not getting the job done? Or was it really a hostile takeover, like so many then distributors suggest?  We may never know the exact truth to those questions, but whether you are already a distributor for Jús, or are just considering joining, there is a way that you can take the chance of a “corporate screw-up” completely out of your personal equation.

Is the Compensation Plan Fair?

Jús International's Fast Start Bonus More often than not, people place too much focus whether the compensation plan is the most incredibly ingenious one they have ever seen, which actually causes them more trouble than they realize. You see, when something really looks too good to be true, it generally is. Compensation plans are no exception to the rule. If you come across one that you have to do no work to get paid, turn and run.

While Jús International’s compensation plan for their distributors is not my favorite, I have to admit that it IS a pretty good compensation plan. It is a unilevel plan that they guarantee a 50% payout of all company revenue as commissions to their distributors, which is significantly better than a poke in the eye. Their plan boasts eight different ways that a distributor can get paid.

Jús International's Horizontal Compression
Jús International's Horizontal Compression
Jús International's Horizontal Compression

First of all, you can earn through retail and preferred customer sales. Next, there are first order fast start bonuses that you can earn for all of your new enrollees. Depending on the kit that they purchase, up to 42% of it will be paid back to distributors as a bonus. (See chart above.)

Next is what they call the Unilevel Bonuses – This is the commissions from the sales volume in your downline. It gets paid up to 9 levels down, and the neat thing about this is that the comp plan uses something called horizontal and vertical compression.

To the left you will see an example of horizontal compression. Each time you enroll someone in the business, they go on your front line. You can do this as many times as you like; however, they only count your three “legs” with the highest sales volume. The rest of your legs get “compressed” or added to the smallest of your three largest legs, as depicted in the example to the left. The volume in each of these three legs determines your pay rank. (See chart below.)

Vertical compression works similarly – the commissions get paid up nine levels, but if there is somebody that is inactive or doesn’t meet their requirements for that level, it “compresses” or skips them as a level.  This can be nice, as long as you are not the one that didn’t meet the quota.

This is one of the reasons that I personally dislike this kind of compensation plan, but is no reason that should prevent you from becoming a Jús IBO.

Jús International's Commission Structure The other ways for you to get paid as a Jús IBO are through the campaign bonus(changes periodically), the check match bonus(matching bonus on your downline’s checks), the leadership bonus(bonus reserved for leaders), and the incentive/trip bonus.

Don’t worry about making sure you understand it 100% before you join… You don’t need to understand it to get paid.  It’s a fair compensation plan.

How Can YOU Succeed in Jús International?

If you are counting on exploding your business by dragging your friends and family to hotel meetings, then I wish you the best. Even if you are good at that, 90% of your team won’t be, which means as soon as you stop building your business, it will stop growing. To REALLY be successful in Jús, you absolutely must learn the way to brand YOURSELF as the leader with the answers to the REAL problems that almost every network marketer faces. That will enable you to really be of service to people that are struggling in Jús and the network marketing industry in general, and your paycheck will inevitably grow.

As Bob Burg and John David Mann state in their book entitled “The Go Giver”,

“Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment… [and] your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.”

So you see, you can only achieve the monstrous, long lasting success that you are probably after with Jús by learning and applying the concepts and strategies of The Elite Inter-Networker.

I think Jús is a very good company overall and that your chances of success in the network marketing industry are probably just about as good there as with most other companies, but don’t leave your success up to chance!

If you are serious about becoming a top earner in Jús, and in helping the rest of your team do the same, complete the form below to get more information on the training and tools that you will unquestionably need to build your business the right way!

Maakoa

On July 4th, 2009, Maakoa used the Stadium of Fire celebration in BYU’s Lavell Edwards Stadium to launch their new product and business opportunity, although their official launch at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City was not held until October 9th and 10th of that year.

With Koopuwa as their primary product, and “Fearless” as their motto, they seek to “re-ignite” the health and wellness revolution, but will the fuse they have lit lead to explosive growth or self destruction?

Before you read another word, one thing I want you to understand is that I am in no way involved with Maakoa, so you can rest easy as you read this review, knowing that I’m not going to snooker you into becoming a Maakoa distributor. (But don’t expect me to stop you either…)  What I am going to share with you is my no-nonsense opinion about the Maakoa business opportunity, and how you can really maximize your efforts should you choose to join.

Is Maakoa a Scam?

There is a lot of crap out there on the internet – both from a scam-n-spam viewpoint, and from those on the other side of the spectrum that try to besmirch the reputations of good companies for what may even be personal reasons.  Take, for example, this article written about how Maakoa and the recently decaying Tahitian Noni International companies are weirdly inter-connected.

Is Maakoa Tahitian Noni’s Red Headed Step-Child?

Here’s the thing… I actually thought that this particular article was a very interesting read.  I mean, the author did some real “homework” on Maakoa.  I would even nominate them for the “Google Geek of the Month Award”…

But after carefully reading it a few times, I feel like some of his points were pretty… well, pointless.  (He DID, however, do an amazing job at tearing apart Kimble Smith’s capricious efforts to conceal how he absconded from Maakoa’s corporate staff.)

Like I said, the information was almost, I dare say titillating, but in my opinion is ultimately irrelevant.  Even if Maakoa and TNI are somehow connected, so what? Lots of corporate staff members of legitimate network marketing companies go on to participate on the corporate staff of new up-and-coming companies.  (Which Kimble actually had never done… he only had some family connections that linked him to TNI.)

Anyway, I guess what I’m really driving at is that EVEN IF Kimble, or anybody else for that matter, had been a part of Tahitian Noni International, would that be considered a bad thing?

First of all, I think that Tahitian Noni was a great company, and not a scam.  They have a good product (even if it tastes gross) that a lot of people benefit from.  I might also add that it is not a magical potion and a claim is not illegal if it is personal experience.  Some people benefit from certain products and others don’t, it’s as plain as that.  Not everybody has the same health needs and/or problems.

Second, just because a company like TNI starts to have a lot of attrition, doesn’t mean that it was a scam.  There are numerous reasons economically that a solid MLM company would experience the difficulties that TNI has experienced lately.  Wouldn’t experience and insights from a struggling company like TNI be welcomed as a valuable asset to a new company that was entering the same niche? It would make sense to me to at the very least pick the brains of the people in the driver’s seat at TNI to see what they could have done better.

The phrase “second to market” comes to mind…

At any rate, my answer to the question, “Is Maakoa a Scam?” is an emphatic “NO”. I think they have a good product and we will see great things from them.

One think you should take away from all of this hullabaloo is that to really insure yourself against your corporate staff’s potential idiocy and to be successful long term in ANY network marketing company, you need to Brand and Market YOURSELF, and NOT Your Company or Product.

Because, really, do any of us have a crystal ball?

What if Maakoa does go belly-up in 5-10 years?  Will all your time have been wasted?

Not if you have focused on the right activities. If you have branded yourself, you will not have to start back at zero like everybody else.

Potion or Lotion?

KoopuwaPotion it is…

Maakoa’s primary product is called Koopuwa in honor of the Cupuaçu fruit from Northern Brazil. (Where’s Oprah when you need her to bust open the doors for an unknown Brazilian fruit?) It has a blend of other fruit juices to add to its benefits, including the Açai and Goji berries. The different fruits are blended together as either powders or purees.

The other two products are powdered mixes that are designed to help you manage your body weight and shape. MXP3 Lean is a protein drink that is designed to help you curb your appetite without denying your body of the nutrition that it needs.

MXP3 Build is a similar powdered protein drink, but it is designed to help you build lean muscle mass in a healthy way. It provides you with various vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids.

The powdered mixes make Maakoa’s product line a little bit different than the long line of jungle juices and energy drinks, which is actually kind of refreshing.  I hope to try them soon and will keep you posted as to how it goes.

Who’s Running the Show?

There has evidently been some juggling going on in the corporate offices of Maakoa, but they are entitled to make changes to their staff. After all, it’s better to make a change to get the right combination of corporate leaders than to stick with a semi-functional team. After reviewing all of their credentials, I feel like the corporate staff at Maakoa is A-OK. (These descriptions were taken from their corporate website.)

Maakoa's Bruce Davis

Bruce Davis is one of two founders of Maakoa, as well as the President and CEO of the company. He has a unique ability to lead, which has helped him take companies from ground floor to millions in sales. His talents have been sought after by many top businesses looking for a competitive edge. For the past several years Bruce held an executive position at a leading software company providing best-in-breed infrastructure for MLM companies and their distributors. This experience has given him rare insights into networking marketing companies. This background, along with his ability to lead, makes Bruce invaluable to Maakoa as the President and CEO. Bruce and his wife, Corinne, are parents to 8 children and live in Pleasant Grove, Utah. In his spare time you can find Bruce with his family water skiing at Lake Powell, fly fishing in a canyon stream, or golfing in a tropical location.

Maakoa's David SimpsonDavid Simpson is the second of two founders of Maakoa, as well as the Chief Operating Officer. He  is a role model for hard work, honesty, and integrity in his family, his business, and his community. When he is not working hard, he is playing hard. David has a love for extreme sports such as motocross, snowmobiling, and anything in the water. David’s business experience is vast. He has an entrepreneurial spirit that is a giant! He loves making something from nothing, and he has been doing just that for the last thirty-five years. David was responsible for the everyday operations of his family ranch for fifteen years. This included managing thousands of acres of land, livestock and other ranch facilities. David also has a passion for Real Estate Development. He built a Real Estate Brokerage from the ground up to handle the marketing of these developments. Most of all David has a passion for living life fearlessly. He is fearless in his pursuit to build Maakoa into a company not like the rest. Maakoa is a company with a conscience because of executives like David!

Maakoa's Jerry NelsonJerry Nelson is the Director of Information Technology at Maakoa.  He brings a vast, diverse, and impressive background to Maakoa. He has over twenty-five years experience with an extensive background in corporate management, sales, engineering, and higher education. He has worked with small start-up companies, colleges, and large multi-national corporations. Jerry has several years experience in the direct selling industry supporting technology, marketing, management, and core business functions. He has also consulted with many companies, governments, and educational institutions to improve communications systems and business operations. Jerry and his wife Debbie have three children, and they spend time at their cabin, fishing, hunting, and boating. He has fished competitively and won several tournaments and awards. Jerry has a considerable wealth of knowledge in a number of areas and is the “go-to-guy” to help answer questions on a number of topics. Jerry is an incredibly hard worker with an outstanding work ethic, and you will always find him helping IBOs and fellow colleagues.

Maakoa's J. Allen HenricksenJ. Allen Henricksen is the CPA and Director of Finance at Maakoa. He obtained his Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University and then went on to earn his MBA degree, with an emphasis in International Business, from Utah State University. Allen has an impressive background in finance, as well as in the network marketing industry, currently working in senior-level finance positions in the MLM industry for a total of sixteen years. Allen is currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Direct Selling Management Association of Utah, working to increase the standards in the MLM industry through education and cooperation. Allen and his wife Gayle have ten wonderful children. In his spare time, he loves to travel. Allen has traveled throughout the world and has visited many fun and exotic places, both for business and leisure. It is always enjoyable to hear stories about his many past adventures! You will always find Allen with a smile on his face, and he is such a joy to have around the office!

Maakoa's Kyle WilsonKyle Wilson is the Director of Communication and Customer Relations at Maakoa. He  is a genuinely nice person with a kind heart, and he is constantly striving to uplift and compliment others around him, making him the perfect individual to fill the Communications and Customer Relations role. He has a well-rounded mind when it comes to business and marketing, and he brings to Maakoa creativity and a strong determination to get work done no matter what. Kyle earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Communications with an emphasis in marketing, from the University of Utah. An entrepreneur at heart, Kyle built a successful landscape construction business in Las Vegas from the ground up. His friendly demeanor, combined with extensive business experience, has also contributed to his many successes in retail management. In his spare time, Kyle enjoys fly fishing and spending time with his two beautiful daughters. You will always find Kyle in a cheerful mood and with a smile on his face, and his positive attitude helps to brighten up the office at Maakoa each and every day!

Maakoa's Amanda PhillippiAmanda Phillippi is a rare find in the business world and truly a valuable asset to the Maakoa team. Amanda is a native of Phoenix, AZ and graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.S. in Psychology and an emphasis in clinical psychology. She loves learning about people and has an extensive background in Human Behaviors. Amanda worked in BYU’s Infant Development Lab and conducted research on the perceptual and cognitive development of infants. Amanda loves being busy and helping out whenever and wherever she can, which makes her a joy for everyone at Maakoa to work with. Among her many talents, one that stands out is her tremendous gift for writing; she is really a go-to person when we are in need of effective communication and quality written material. Amanda is a consistent joy to be around and enhances the fun-filled and successful culture here at Maakoa!

Is the Compensation Plan Fair?

Maakoa's Fast Start BonusesMaakoa has taken a proven compensation plan and put their own twist on it. It is nothing too far outside the box, which should make you breath easy.

More often than they should, people place too much focus whether the compensation plan is the most miraculous one they have ever seen, instead of just making sure that it is fair.  Most compensation plans are tried and tested, and your best bet is to go with one that has already been proven.

In Maakoa’s case, the compensation plan is a hybrid binary plan that allows you to earn money in seven different ways. I will focus mainly on the three or four that most people take advantage of.

The first way to earn income is through the fast start bonuses.  These are bonuses that you are paid as long as you are actively building your business. (See illustration above and to the right.)  You can maximize your earnings here by recruiting two or more new people into your business every four weeks.

Maakoa's Binary CommissionsThe next part of the compensation plan, which is where the residual income starts to kick in, is the binary commissions. (LEFT) This part of the plan allows you to make 10% of your lesser side commissions.  As always, you are required to purchase at least 100 points worth of product each month to stay active – nothing new.  You can maximize this portion of the comp plan by building your two legs as evenly as possible. (However, it is not as big of a problem as people would have you think if one of your legs takes off and the other doesn’t. Keep reading…)

In fact, this comp plan is very similar to that of MonaVie, and if you have been around the industry very long you have probably heard of what they have been doing.  They made it to a billion dollars in annual sales faster than any other company – a mere 4 years.  With a track record like that, I don’t think you can blame anything on the comp plan.

Maakoa's Leadership Matching BonusThe other part of the compensation plan, where the real money is made, and which makes balancing your legs unnecessary, is with the ability to get a leadership matching bonus on your personal team’s checks.  It is a little too hairy to get into much detail here, but the basics of it are that every time somebody that is in your personal sponsorship tree makes a binary check, you would get a bonus of 15-25% of their check up to seven generations deep, depending on what rank you have achieved. (See chart to the right.)

And by the way, generations and levels are two very different things… (Generations are WAY better…)

Beside these three methods of getting paid, you can retail the product, earn a couple different types of bonuses, and qualify for an auto-ship rebate.

If you have been hemming and hawing about whether or not to join Maakoa because you weren’t sure of the comp plan, stop it.  You aren’t going to find anything much better than this.

Don’t worry about making sure you understand it 100% before you join… You don’t need to understand it to get paid.  It’s a good plan.

How Can YOU Succeed in Maakoa?

If you are going to be successful in Maakoa, you absolutely must learn the way to brand YOURSELF as the leader with the answers that will enable you to really be of service to people that are struggling in Maakoa and the network marketing industry in general.

As Bob Burg and John David Mann state in their book entitled “The Go Giver”,

“Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment… [and] your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.”

So you see, you can only achieve the monstrous, long lasting success that you are probably after with Maakoa by learning and applying the concepts and strategies of The Elite Inter-Networker.

I think Maakoa is a great company and that your chances of success in the network marketing industry are probably just about as good there as with most other companies, but don’t leave your success up to chance!
