any opinion of Usana and Overseas upline

simpleboi SG

In my opinion, a gd MLM company needs not have any maintenance monthly etc as what is mentioned above that the business should be done at own pace. This is true is the company i am doing now. For me personally, some months I may get more products, others less, however, I am still building and doing the business with no worries bout maintenance etc. Smile

Technically, we are the boss of our MLM business so we answer only to ourselves. We decide how much we want to earn & we put in the hours. Nobody will continue the business for long if they don't make money. The biggest reason for the high dropout is because they never discipline themselves enough to do the sales every month. Some choose to buy up the stock to fulfil the min requirement and thus kill themselves in a few short months. Both are not desirable.

Like I said in my earlier posting, MLM should be treated like any other business. If you start a hawker store today, do you have the option of not making min sales to pay for rental/raw material/time and also bring income to your family? If you choose only to do some sales whenever you feel like, how do you achieve financial stability or income after retirement (or whatever goals you set)?

The maintenance should not be viewed as 'worries' but rather as the 'commitment' to the business.

I feel that monthly maintenance is a must tho

Firstly, its the target quota. Psychologically, it gives a tangible number a MLMer can work towards. True we work at our own pace, but there need to be some sort of goal we can work too. Really, human arent perfect, only few people can achieve much without the need to set goals, but not the rest, The company is also looking after 'the rest'

Secondly, dangers of lull period. Quota reduce chances that the distributors may be underperforming, making the company in the red for that month or so.

Actually, most of the time, existence of monthly maintenance is never the issue. Its how much the quota is.

Many are dissed because of ever increasing quota as they climb up the ladder, the need to renew tha high quota just to stay in that position, else demotion...

yup, i agree with your point Smile

However, i also feel that for a person, if he is serious in doing the business, with or without monthly maintenance, he will do it Smile

If he is not that serious, there is a chance that one day he finds it hard to keep up the monthly maintenance and then drop out.

Also different pple have different needs of the products in the company, thus the maintenance is different. Most companies just ask from each distributor about $100 per month, which i believe it is fair, but to some people may be too much.

I agree that one may lax without monthly maintenance...but if he wants to lax..with or without it will be the same. Thus i prefer to have it at my own pace as i know that i am serious, and those who are serious will do the same Smile

No mantain? So, if you don't buy producst for months, do you still get pay?

simpleboi SG

Hi,

Well, for the company I am in right now, they pay a percentage of monthly personal/group volume. So if it is 0, of coz no bonus. However, even if it is as low as $10 for that month, I still get paid, even if the amount is tiny, and I personally can monitor and knows that.

Another thing gd bout this company is that it offers another form of bonus in that if i managed to make a downline reach a certain successful level, even if a particular month, i got 0 for my MPV as shown above, this other bonus will pay me a certain percentage based on my downline's MPV, so I will still get paid even if that month I actually bought nothing, as the company rewards distributors for their past efforts too (in this case, helping someone succeed) Smile

I understand that this differs from most companies which some have to at least spend $100 or so for that month to receive any bonus at all. Smile

cheers Smile

I just stumbled across the thread and I am from USANA too. My direct upline is one of the top 2 in Singapore and I am doing very well too. If you want a higher chance of success and if you want a Singaporean upline and not an overseas one. You can drop me a private message. No worries though if you prefer the overseas team, coz as Donald Trump puts it, "it's nothing personal, it's just business". Let's strive for the success we yearn for.
And on a personal note, I do believe USANA has a solid framework, as quoted by one of the previous entries, and yes the downside of this business is the monthly quota of SGD200, but you should be able to break even within the first 3 months. It's like a gauge to see if the business can work out for you too. That's my opinion, coz if we go into mlm with the thought of earning cash, and we lose it instead, perhaps we ain't made for mlm after all, then it's time to withdraw and seek greener pastures. Smile

I love BMW SG

why must have a maintaince? it defeat the real purpose of MLM!

2005wss SG

yes BMW, good point, – agree with your view, compulsory maintenance /auto-ship programs defeats the purpose of MLM, especially with perishable goods with expiry dates
