Description

A Nerium Argument Here’s a list of Entrepreneur Magazine’s top 10 franchises of 2013, and the range of startup costs paid by the franchise owners for each: 1. Hampton Hotels, $3.7M - $13.52M 2. Subway, $85.2K - $260.35K 3. Jiffy Lube Int'l. Inc., $196.5K - $304K 4. 7-Eleven Inc., $30.8K - $1.5M 5. Supercuts, $103.55K - $196.5K 6. Anytime Fitness, $56.3K - $353.9K 7. Servpro, $134.8K - $183.45K 8. Denny's Inc., $1.18M - $2.4M 9. McDonald's, $1.03M - $2.18M 10. Pizza Hut Inc., $295K - $2.15M Why do smart, wealthy people pay these startup costs? Because they know if they follow the instructions for building and running their businesses, as carefully laid out by the corporate offices, they have an excellent chance of recouping their investment and making a profit. They use the profits they make to buy supplies and raw materials to keep the business running, advertise, pay their employees, and pay themselves a salary which may or may not be six figures. A percentage of those profits are usually kicked back to corporate, for things like national advertising and the right to use the corporation’s name to turn that profit. Also, they’re likely putting in 60 to 80 hour work weeks to keep the business running and become virtual slaves to their businesses since most franchises do not permit “absentee ownership.” If they wish to grow their business, they need to invest more money and more time. If they stop working there’s a good chance the business will take a downturn and, over time, will cease to exist. You get the idea. Is it profitable? It must be, or people wouldn’t be investing, or risking, this kind of money, but it’s a ton of work, as anyone who has opened a franchise will tell you. Now consider this: • Nerium International, $500 - $1K Nerium International is not a franchise, it’s a network marketing company (or relationship marketing company, or multi-level marketing (MLM) company, however you wish to phrase it), which is simply an alternate method of getting product into the hands of consumers by selling it person to person rather than through a retail store. It is NOT an illegal pyramid scheme, as those not in the MLM industry love to claim. In network marketing, the money normally paid to advertise a product before it’s sold is instead paid as commissions to the members of the network after the product is sold; think for a moment about the amount of money paid just to advertise for 30 seconds during just the Superbowl, and picture a portion of that money instead going into your pocket. A good network marketing company, like Nerium, which has a patented product keeping others from competing with it directly, having product which actually works as advertised, having a product which is in high demand (anti-aging products are huge – just ask Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, or any other retailer who commits hundreds of square feet of floor space to selling beauty products), and which provides a support structure and business plan to its network members every bit as sophisticated and effective as McDonald’s, is providing a business opportunity that can be every bit as profitable to a Brand Partner as a Subway is to a franchise owner. And, here’s the kicker – the startup cost is only $500 - $1,000, depending upon how quickly you wish to begin building the business. And another kicker – if you follow the business plan as laid out by Nerium International, you don’t have to purchase product because the company actually GIVES you product, at no charge. And another kicker – this can be done part-time or full-time. And another kicker – your business can grow without you needing to reinvest extra money... The list goes on and on, and the list of reasons to engage with Nerium is long, while the list of reasons not to engage is short. Why, then, are people hesitant about getting into this business? I suppose a lot of it focuses around a few key reasons, really, when you come right down to it. First and foremost, they see the person approaching them about Nerium as simply trying to separate them from $500 or $1,000. You think they’re going to get a startup kit into your hands, turn you loose, and you never hear from them again. It’s a legitimate concern, given the variety of used car salesmen that are out there these days. But here’s where those saying “no” right off the bat have got it wrong: The ONLY way the person approaching you about Nerium, or any other legitimate network marketing opportunity, makes the kind of money that matters to them is if YOU are making the kind of money that matters to YOU. It’s the opposite of a typical job, where the person hiring you is ultimately concerned about pleasing those above them; in this case, the person doing the hiring is completely focused on those BELOW them. That person presenting you with the Nerium opportunity is committing to helping YOU be successful by training you, coaching you, mentoring you, and supporting YOU and the rest of YOUR TEAM. Here’s another parallel between networking and the corporate world: If IBM were to approach you and say, “I’d like you to come work for me,” then you’d be an “employee” of theirs who they could let you go at any time by firing you or laying you off – it’s called being an “at will” employee (this isn’t socialist Europe after all) – and your income is capped, meaning that any extra effort you put forth that makes them a little extra money is pocketed by IBM, not by you, and trust me they’ll try and squeeze as much productivity out of you as possible while giving you next to nothing in pay raises and bonuses. Even if IBM approaches you and says, “I’d like you to sell this widget for us and I’ll pay you a commission to do so,” you’re still an employee who can be let go, and you still have to deal with the politics and a boss you might wish would get hit by a Greyhound bus. When you become a Nerium Brand Partner, you become a “business owner,” not an employee. You can’t be fired (unless you do something completely unethical) or laid off. You have a patented, in-demand product and a play book to follow that is making a lot of people some serious money, and your ability to earn money is entirely based upon your level of effort. Plus there are perks that are rewarded not just to the top 5 or 10 executives of Nerium International, but to any of the network members that can grow their own business, perks like iPads, Lexus cars, and trips to Cabo. A second major reason people don’t engage with Nerium has to do with their level of risk aversion, a fancy term I learned in B-school. Let me put it this way: Just like the above franchise owners are willing to risk – and lose – up to $14M, if you’re not willing to risk and lose $500 or $1K, then you don’t belong in network marketing. Seriously, that’s about all you’re risking, plus some of your time, to get started in this. But if the idea of turning $1K into $5K, $10K, or maybe even a six-figure income just gives you the heebie-jeebies and gives you night sweats, then you absolutely, positively don’t belong in network marketing. But before you say $1,000 is a lot of money – which it is to many people, I understand – you really, really have to put that into perspective. What is $1,000 equal to these days? Maybe 20 meals at Applebee’s if it’s just two of you, maybe 10 meals if you’re a family of four; maybe two baseball games at Fenway with the family, once you add up the hot dogs, parking, and tickets; about 10 weeks’ worth of a daily cup of Starbucks; maybe 10 or 15 rounds of golf, depending upon where you play; or some combination of what I just mentioned… Over the course of a year, I will guarantee you that I’ve lost track of $1,000 in miscellaneous expenditures, things that I ate and didn’t really need, things that I did for fun when I could have been doing something constructive, things that I have exactly zero to show for it today. Instead, here’s what I’m doing with the $1,000 I’ve invested in Nerium: I’m helping YOU meet new people and make new friends that you never imagined you would have; I’m helping YOU get $500, $750, or $1,000 a month from Nerium for a new Lexus; I’m helping YOU work your way toward a trip to Cabo; I’m helping YOU earn additional income each month on top of what you’re making at a regular job (if you even have a job, that is); and I’m going to post it from one end of the Internet to the other, on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else I can find, when YOU reach each of these goals. That is what I’m doing with the $1,000 I’ve invested in Nerium. Which brings me to a third major reason for people not engaging with Nerium. Nerium is not about you, it’s about those you’re helping. If you can’t wrap your head around this, then I guarantee you will not be successful. If you have no desire to see other people succeed, if you don’t want people to look better because of the Nerium product and to feel better about themselves, if you don’t want to see them get out from under whatever financial burden they’re under, if you don’t want to help them gain confidence and self-esteem, if you still think that you have to win and the other guy has to lose, then I beg you to please, please not get involved with Nerium. Marketing Nerium isn’t hard to do physically. In fact, it’s probably one of the easiest jobs to actually execute, especially with the vast array of tools at your disposal provided by Nerium. What’s challenging about this is the mindset you have to have coming into it, unlearning a large portion of what you’ve been programmed to believe a job should entail, and following a play book which might feel alien and uncomfortable. Rather than working harder, you’ve got to work smarter. For example, the first time anyone gets a golf lesson from a pro, they feel like a folded up lawn chair with their arms twisted unnaturally, moving parts of their body they don’t normally associate with a golf swing, constantly fighting the urge to fall back during the backswing… It’s ugly, it’s uncomfortable, and you’ve got to work through it. But, every now and again, you hit that shot which goes straight and pure, and you have no idea how it happened. With practice, you learn to trust that folded lawn chair feeling until it starts to become natural, and more and more shots start going just where you want them. Eventually, so long as you keep doing it and develop that muscle memory, you’ll get your swing into a rhythm that is repeatable, time after time, with predictable results. So it is with network marketing. If you’re left to try and figure it out on your own, as so many other network marketing companies do, then you’ll never develop that repeatable, rhythmic process that leads to predictable results. At Nerium, we don’t leave that to chance; we teach you how to succeed. We teach you the rhythm that leads to helping others succeed. If you’re ready to take a look at a company that could potentially add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to your monthly income, if you can carve out a few spare hours each week to invest, if you are able to follow a game plan, and if you can genuinely get behind helping somebody else (not yourself) succeed, then contact us at the link on this Facebook page. We’ll show you the product and the company, and you decide if you believe in yourself enough to rise to the challenge. Thanks for your time, and all the best! Bob Britton
