How We Got Started in Market America

Hi,  my name is Hale Pringle and I'd like start by telling you how Robyn and I got started with Market America.

Like, many people we started with a product.  In our case it was the Transitions Weight Management and Lifestyle program.   We have both had problems with weight and had tried MANY things.  None of them resulted in permanent weight loss.  Several friends recommended a nutritionist who had great results with a program called the Transitions Lifestyle System.  We went and the program was a real success.  I lost 90 pounds in six months and Robyn lost 45.  Two years later we have been able to keep the weight off and are losing weight again.

After the class, we were approached about the business behind Transitions.  This business is Market America.  Robyn and I were in a very large MLM, years ago for six years and finally quit because we couldn't look people in the face and say "you can do this."  We swore that we would never join a Make Little Money (MLM) again.

We really didn't know what the meeting with the nutritionist was about until we got there.  If we had, we probably would have missed the opportunity, since you have to look at the program before you can see how this is Network Marketing, but not Multi-Level Marketing (MLM).   I will say that we were sick and tired of being sick and tired.   We did learn from our previous experience that we needed to create some type of ongoing income and our efforts to date had not done that.  When we say the way that the Market America compensation plan was structured, we became excited.  The program looked like something that met several vital criteria:
1.  It was stable (over 19 years old - this is NOT a start-up with a high failure potential)
2.  It was successful - 74 consecutive quarters of growth - VERY few companies can say that today).  It also has an A+ (the highest possible) rating with the Better Business Bureau and one of the top executives in the company is on the local BBB Board.

 3. The compensation plan was stable - every change has been to put more money into the distributor's pocket. 
4.  The products (and there must be more than one or two) are high quality and need to be purchased over and over.  - The products are of the highest quality, science based, market driven.

The part that really sold us was a concept called vertical marketing.  The way that sales organizations are formed virtually forces business partners to help others in the organization.  This is huge.  Instead of fostering competition, this company fosters cooperation.

A couple of other factors entered into our decision  First, the volume needed to earn checks is very low compared to many other plans.  Second, volume does NOT disappear at the end of every month.  You have a year to reach enough volume to qualify for a check.  Third, training is either free or is done on a break even basis.  The cassettes that we paid and paid for in our previous experience are free. Market America has the largest not-for-profit training system in the US (after one in the government). Last, but not least, the people at the top can and do place their volume at the bottom of the organization.  Since 100% of the volume goes up each organization - to infinity this is also huge.  That concepts deserves more time later.

The bottom line was we found and home and a couple of years later we are more excited than ever.  Market America allows you to generate a life time, willable income on a part-time basis.  This is the ultimate "work from home" business.
