Mlm & Network Marketing Training with Jennifer

Have you heard of Qivana and are asking yourself what is Qivana? Is Qivana a scam or a pyramid scheme? And better yet, would an intelligent person join Qivana? Perhaps you are already in another network marketing company and are checking out Qivana. You are likely nervous and anxious because, let’s face it, MLM’s or Network Marketing companies in general have gotten some bad press. Each one is different, but there are three criteria that you should judge each one on. What you must investigate fully before joining Qivana or any other MLM. are the leaders of the company, the products, and the compensation plan. Only by doing this can you make an informed, intelligent decision. Strong leadership by qualified and experienced professionals is essential. The products of the company must be unique and offer proven value. The last important consideration is the compensation plan which must allow new business owners to quickly become profitable.

Qivana’s management team reads like a who’s who of industry veterans and boasts over 70 years of combined experience. The executives are Derek Hall (Cheif Executive Officer), Craig Johanson (Chief Marketing Officer), Devin Glazier (Chief Financial Officer), Justin Banner (Chief Strategy Officer), and Rodney James (Chief Sales Officer).

As you can see, Qivana is lead by strong, professional and experienced leaders , so it passes the first test.

#2 Qivana Products

Qivana is launching their company with three flagship products in what they call their Qore System. According to Qivana, their natural nutritional products are meant to stabilize, vitalize, and optimize the body.

Qivana offers the Qore Probiotic to stabilize the body. Recent research shows that probiotics promote healthy digestion and nutrient absorpiton, strengthen the immune defenses and inhibit the adhesion and invasion of pathogenic bacteria onto intestinal cells.

After stabilization the next product is the Qivana Qore Essentials to vitalize the body. It is a proprietary blend of herbs which includes the Crown Herb, Chinese skullcap, and white Korean ginseng. According to Dr. Marcuc Laux, the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, these herbs have an extensively documented history and have had their effectiveness validated in well over 1000 recent scientific papers to support healthy cardiovascular function, to increase energy and protect against stress, to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels within a normal range and to support healthy liver, immune and cellular functions.

To optimize the body, Qivana offers the Qore Detox, the third product in the Qore System. Research has shown that In order to optimize the body’s performance, it’s necessary to routinely rid it of heavy metals. Qivana Qore Detox contains Puratox, an exclusive, scientifically validated blend of natural ingredients that can rid your blood, cells, and tissues of heavy metals, free radicals,and toxins without depleting essential minerals.

Qivana offers three powerful scientifically validated products whose benefits complement each other and work synergistically to promote health and wellness. Qivana meets the second criteria since the Qivana products are indeed unique and it would seem that they offer proven value.

#3 Qivana’s Compensation Plan

In Qivana’s compensation plan there are several ways new Qivana business owners will be able to become profitable quickly. In fact, in Qivana, there are 6 ways to produce income. These six ways are Retail Commisions, Quickstart Bonus, Builder Bonus, Silver2 Bonus, Team Commissions, and the Executive Matching Bonus.

Since Qivana offers numerous ways for new IBO’s to quickly become profitable, it meets the third and last criteria.

To answer the original question, “Would an intelligent person join Qivana?”, Looking at the company as a whole, I can say the answer is yes. My final thoughts are that anyone who is considering joining or starting a new business should do his or her due diligence so that they can make an intelligent, informed decision.

Find out more about the Qivana Business Opportunity

As a Qivana IBO success is on everyone’s mind. I recently had the pleasure and priviledge of interviewing Diane Drawdy, a fellow Qivana IBO. Diane has been my friend for over 30 years now. Diane and I first met as employees of St. Lucie County Bank in Fort Pierce, Florida. We have remained dear friends through the years. We have always kept in touch. We visit each other regularly either in her home state of Florida or my home in Mississippi. Diane is responsible for introducing me to the Qivana opportunity.

Our interview began by me asking Diane where she first learned about Qivana. She related how her son Chris Steele told her about a new exciting company. His friend, Stephen Douglas, son of Marshall Douglas (once a high ranking Diamond in Amway), had confided in him that something BIG was about to happen. Nothing was known about Qivana at the time, not even the name of the company, the CEO, or even what the products would be. But we did know from the conference calls that it was going to be huge news.

This is the point where my Qivana Success story begins. I was visiting Diane in February of 2009 when she told me of this new venture that she was excited about. None of us knew much at the time, but I have known and trusted Diane for over 30 years, so I put my misqivings aside and waited for all to be revealed. The middle of February was when the announcement was made. Our new company’s name was Qivana. The name Qivana is derived from combining Qi or Chi which is the Chinese word used to describe “the natural energy of the Universe and Vana from Nirvana, the perfect peace of the state of mind.

About a week later we got to meet the Qivana Corporate team during a conference call. This is the point where my Qivana success story gets very exciting. All the corporate officers are the top in their field.

Derek Hall, CEO, formerly CEO of McKesson Pharmaceutical Company. In addition, Derek was also the President and CEO for Nature’s Way, Botanticals International, Integrative Therapeutics, Unigen USA and Univera. Not to mention he was Vice President and CEO of Econet, Inc.

The CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is Devin Glazier. Before he came to Qivana Devin was the Sr. Financial Analyst at Novell and Sr. Director of Finance at XanGo. In addition to a B.S. in accounting, Mr Glazier holds an MBA from Utah State University.

The Chief Strategic Officer is Justin Banner. His former positions include the one he held at XanGo as VP of Strategy and Development. He graduated with a B.S. in finance from Brigham Young University and an MBA in Strategy and Marketing from Purdue University.

Rodney James is the Chief Sales Officer, Previously Rodney was the Director of Product Marketing at XanGo, Director of Marketing at VM Direct, and Director of Sales at NuSkin. Rodney holds a BS in Finance from the University of Utah.

Craig Johanson serves as Qivana’s Chief Marketing Officer. Prior to coming to Qivana Craig was the VP of Marketing at XanGo and Senior Brand Manager at Tahitian Noni International. Craig holds a B.S. in Marketing from Boise State University and an MBA from Utah State University.

If I had been excited before, I was really excited when I found out about these outstanding leaders.

My Qivana Success dream became a reality when I attended the pre-launch of Qivana in Atlanta. What energy and dedication this corporate team possessed! The presentation, the products, and the company leaders just blew us away. I left Atlanta knowing that I had found a business with the leadership and products I had been searching for.

This September Qivana had it’s official launch in Orlando, Florida and Diane was able to attend. My next question to her was what her impression had been of the official launch. She echoed my sentiments regarding the outstanding corporate team. Although she had been involved in network marketing before, she told me she had never felt such a sense of integrity in the corporate leaders or in the business owners themselves.

People helping people is the idealogy that drives Qivana. This is why Diane and I have both been able to explode our downline. My team grew to over 50 IBO’s by the time the first products were shipped in April. Stay tuned for part two of the Qivana Success interview!

I know that a lot of you are already involved in an MLM company or you are shopping around for a MLM company to hang your heart on. If you are like I was, you are nervous and anxious because, let’s face it, MLM’s or Network  Marketing companies have gotten some bad press. But after a lot of research into the nature of the MLM business I have found that it truly is “The Perfect Business Model.”  Let me tell you why I fell this way.

Multi-Level Marketing (aka MLM) has been around for decades and it is a tried and true way marketing technique to get products into the hands of consumers. I realize that the MLM business has gotten a “bum rap” from many over the years and yes, I must include myself in the naysayer’s list. I have heard MLM businesses called everything from a “pyramid” scheme all the way to a downright scam. Again, I myself have been guilty of this. But just recently my opinion was changed radically and it came about when I reunited with an old friend that I had once worked with in the banking industry.

Only because I knew and trusted her, when she mentioned the MLM word to me, I didn’t immediately throw my hands over my ears and run screaming for cover. I took the time to hear what she had to say. I soon realized a lot of what she was saying made perfect sense to me.

You see, recently I had sold my own retail business where my husband and I wore all the hats. I was CEO of procurement, inventory control, and the coffee maker. He was CEO of Sales and Vice-President of the Complaint Department. No aspect of the business escaped us, nor could we escape from it. If we stopped the business stopped and thus the income stopped. I must say it was an interesting and mostly profitable 30 years!

 All this being said, I will now  tell you why I think a MLM Business is the Perfect Business Model.

Reason #1 – Your Business is Run by Professionals

Who wants to wear all the hats? It is a full-time 24/7 JOB that you can never really shut down. Your primary MLM business has taken care of all of that. They are the ones that have invested their time and money on product research and development, inventory control, shipping and receiving.

You don’t have to handle returns or complaints, that is all taken care of by the MLM company.

Reason #2 – Small Initial Investment

Most network marketing businesses I have researched allow their representatives to quality for a very modest amount. This gets you started and your success is determined by YOUR efforts and results of those efforts. Sometimes you can get lucky and find that one person that will propel your team to the top or you might just be that person yourself.

Reason #3 – Leverage

There are only 24 hours in a day. One person (or two in our case) can only do so much. But in network marketing the power and leverage of multiplication is amazing. Two soon becomes four. Four becomes eight. Eight becomes 16 etc., etc.

Reason #4 – Possibility of Building a Significant Residual Income.

There is no way in retail sales to build a residual income. Sure, you can have loyal customers that come back to you year after year. But once you close your doors or retire, the income stops. Not so in network marketing. As your down line grows and as your MLM grows, your residual income taps into generation after generation of your down line. I know someone who is still receiving residual income from a MLM company that they were in 20 plus years ago. Now this is not a rule of thumb, it all depends on the MLM company you join. So let this be a very big factor in choosing what MLM you go with.

Reason #5 – Quality of Life

In a network marketing company, you are truly your own boss. Your achievements are based on the effort you put into building your business. When you are not working, your business is still growing. While you are spending time with your family, your business is still growing, and while you are sleeping your business is still growing.

Reason #6 – It’s FUN

A lot of people call this relationship marketing and I love that term. Because after all, it is all about relationships. From what I have experienced it is all about people helping people. If your down line doesn’t succeed, you don’t succeed. And the same can be said for your up line. Everyone pulls together to help each other and many strong and long-lasting friendships are formed. I heard one person say that the time that he had spent in the networking marketing business had changed his life forever. He felt as though he was a better and stronger person for having had the experience.
