I O Business Partners works under the umbrella of  Forever Living: a global (over 130 countries), over $2billion natural healthcare business founded in 1978.

 

The health and well-being sector – forecast to be the fastest growing consumer market over the next seven years. (In his talk The Next Trillion in 2000, world-renowned economist and entrepreneur, Paul Zane Pilzer, predicted the wellness industry in the US would mushroom from $200 billion to $1 trillion by 2010.)

 

Instead of selling its products through traditional (and very expensive) wholesale-retail chains, Forever Living delivers them directly to the consumer, via individual distributors.

 

By cutting out the middlemen, Forever can redirect the money it would have spent on outlets and advertising directly to the people – like I O Business Partners – who get the product into consumers’ hands.

 

That’s where you come in. By using and recommending Forever’s products, reaping the rewards and inspiring others to share your success, you become part of a network where everyone prospers. 

 

 

Gillette, Virgin Cosmetics, Avon, npower, Telco Global Communications and the Body Shop have all promoted their products through network marketing. It’s a tried and tested approach where everyone benefits. 

 

 

A. No! Because network marketing is a relatively new business model and little understood, it's sometimes mistaken for other practises.

 

In fact, network marketing is used to distribute products by companies such as Virgin, The Body Shop and Gillette. It is now taught in most major business schools and increasingly acknowledged as a viable and appealing way for people to transform their income levels and start their own business, without having to risk their job or make any large investment. The Forever Living products that I O Business Partners' markets have been successfully distributed this way for more than 30 years.

Pyramid selling was outlawed in 1973 - a fact that hasn't deterred unscrupulous people from using it anyway. Telltale signs of a pyramid scheme include:

Party plans involve holding regular parties at your home and receiving a bonus based on the amount of product you sell at the event. In many cases these bonuses are only given if you hold a number of parties each week. If you work hard at it you can generate a second income but you'll never achieve the life changing levels of income that network marketing can deliver. Even if you stop working the business, network marketing income continues to roll in, while party plan income stops as soon as you do.

 

A. The beauty of I O Business Partners and Forever Living  is that you can target whatever level of the business you want. Some people enjoy distributing the products and just want to earn a little extra income. But for those who want to maximise the full business potential of Forever, we offer all the training and support you need to get to a management position within months.

 

A. There really isn't any great mystery or small print. There are no financial risks or up-front investments. All we ask is that you use the products yourself for at least 60 days so that you can experience the benefits personally.

 

What you will need to do is invest some consistent time and follow the tried and tested approach that works for thousands of successful men and women in over 130 countries around the world. If you do, you will start to see your income build within months, while a three to five year investment can deliver real long-term financial security.

 

If there is a catch, it's that your level of success is entirely up to you. You'll receive the best coaching, training and support possible but you won't be pushed. You need to be serious about wanting to improve your quality of life and prepared to follow a tried and tested plan. In the end, it's up to you.

 

A. We use network marketing instead of traditional retail because it works better - for everyone. Almost 30 years of exponential growth has demonstrated this fact to FLP. For an independent view, consider the results of a report from Mintel, the leading market research company. They compared the performance of network marketing against retailing over a five- year period. During that time retail sales grew by 7%, while network marketing sales expanded by a massive 67%.

 

As to product quality, FLP owns everything from the fields where the aloe is grown free from pesticides and herbicides to the distribution network that delivers the product to customers, which means we can monitor quality every step of the way. We've operated a money back policy for 30 years and the business has done nothing but go from strength to strength, all built on word of mouth. In official terms, FLP products are endorsed by the International Aloe Science Council, have earned the Islamic seal of approval and are kosher .

 

A. No. To be frank, it's a complete waste of our time to persuade people who are not truly interested. We want to invest our time, training and support in people who genuinely want to make the most of a great business. What we're looking for are people who are:

 

 

A. When you discover something wonderful, don't you naturally tell people you know, who may be interested too?

 

One of the keystones of the business is that you use the products yourself. Once you see how good they are you will naturally want to tell your friends and family about them, because you want them to benefit too. It feels more like sharing than selling!

 

If you feel uncomfortable about asking for money, it may help to know that every product comes with a 60-day, money-back guarantee. If your customers are disappointed in any way, they get their money back. Our $2 billion global business has been built on word of mouth and satisfied customers.

 

A. It's really just a different way of cutting the cake. Traditionally, 80% of product price is swallowed by middlemen - wholesale, distribution, retail and advertising - while 20% is left for the manufacturer. By using network marketing to distribute Forever Living Products directly to customers, we cut most of the middlemen out. That way, 68% of the ticket price can be passed back to the distributors in the form of monthly bonuses, incentives and profit share, while FLP retains a healthy 32%. In other words, everyone is better off.

 

 

WHY PEOPLE JOIN AND WHAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE IS DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN THE BUSINESS:

 

"Earn what you are really worth   Basic Profit 30% - 48% What better way to earn a good part-time income than by helping people get more out of life with these unique, consumable products?  Because they work so well FLP products virtually sell themselves so no previous sales experience is necessary.  Happy customers simply re-order monthly and refer us on to their friends.  Retailing is fun, profitable and an essential feature of our own FLP networking business.

 

 + Personal Bonus 5% - 18% FLP's world class products have given me a fabulous business that will continue to prosper.  As I climb up the career path each position is permanent.  I could stop working for a month or two and I would remain at the same level and so would my income.  We started making money from the day we joined and, as all bonuses are paid on the retail price, our income grew quickly.

 

  + Team Leading Bonus 3% - 13% I love helping people to get started with FLP and see them build their own financial independence.  Because it costs nothing to join, people from all backgrounds see our business as a way of delivering the way of life of their choice.  All we need to do is show them how to get started and FLP pay us a team leading bonus based on the company's increased turnover.

 

  + Royalty Bonus 2% - 9% The FLP marketing plan is exceptional because everyone makes money at any level.  The Royalty Bonus really excited us.  Imagine receiving an income each and every month for simply helping others to set up their own independent FLP businesses. We quickly learned how to sponsor people and help them get to the position of manager and so immediately qualifying for our royalty bonus.  Very much like receiving a royalty for writing a book or writing a song it gives us a large residual income and true financial security.

 

  + Car Programme Having started with no money, ours is a true rags to riches story.  I was at an all-time low having lost my business and home.  Within 9 months I was receiving the top level car plan.  We are now financially secure and need never work again.  We continue to get great pleasure from seeing the results the products have on people and the way that FLP transforms their health, but can transform their wealth too! 

 

 + Special Prizes/Exotic holidays We didn't join FLP to become rich but because we wanted a much richer quality of life.  We wanted more free time to take the kind of extended holidays we had always dreamed of and to be able to pay for them without using the credit cards!  Now, we take our holidays when and where we choose - six or seven a year.  One of our highlights last year was an all expenses paid trip to the USA - starting in New York and finishing in Las Vegas.  

 

 + Profit Sharing Programme Rosytha's background was in interior design and I was a television/video engineer.  Rosytha had a good lifestyle from her business, but I had a terrible one - working too many hours with too much stress. We wanted to get out of the rat race, work together and have a good lifestyle.  Six years later, everything we were told we could have with this business has come true.  We now have a substantial six figure income, our holidays are paid for by FLP, we have a luxury motor home paid for by the car plan and if that wasn't enough we receive a profit share cheque every year."
