The benefit of being in the pathway of product & profit distribution!

We just seen a great story unfold in our sales team. A few years ago we recommended the company’s health science products to a client who trusted our recommendation and became a regular product user. When the time came to move him to Preferred Customer status, we explained the benefits of being a distributor rather than a PC for the potential of gaining a small financial return from referrals to his contacts, additional product use for himself, and any downline placements that occurred from his upline. In essence, he could potentially get discounts on his vitamins, and as he was going to buy the vitamins anyway, this was a no-lose situation.

Over the last few years this has panned out as expected. He would get a check every month or so, and this resulted in basically giving him a discount on his personal use vitamins. Now since he chose to get in the distribution pathway simply by joining as a distributor, and through no further effort on his part, one of his legs grew substantially. He was sitting on a half-built income stream than simply needed a second leg to allow him to take the money off the table.

Fast-forward to now. His wife decides, after years of using the products herself, and finding the timing was right for her, to start up her own business. With the relaxation of the company’s regulations in relation to husband/wife having separate The company businesses, and after consultation with the soon-to-be upline, she commenced her own The company business on the weak side of her husbands. All of sudden his checks become so much more regular. In fact between them they received about seven checks in the first five weeks of the wife’s new business, and covered her set up costs and more.

That’s the power of this business! So many distributors in our team, by virtue of the unique distribution model and compensation plan, are sitting on a goal mine of cash flow that just needs one more leg to full exploit. This has been an excellent example of the benefits of getting involved as soon as one can by placing yourself and your The company business in the pathway of product and profit distribution!
