Very well as a matter of fact.  Our weight loss product (my primary focus) works for almost all who try it, and it's been a good success to retail to people.  In spite of the fact I sometimes can't get out of my own way, I've got a nice team growing.

Combine this with some other online incomes I've built and a fledgling website design business and I'm about to be working from home full time! :) (big grin!)

I really love ViSi, and you can imagine how exciting it is to have products people pay money for just as customers because they really do work!

why is every post a double-post?  Admin?

Hi Jon,

We added an update to the forums to allow tags attached to posts. There was a display glitch that was doubling the content - thanks for pointing it out. We were working on testing the tags and had not yet noticed the doubled tags.

I got involved early in PreLaunch, and had an opportunity to try each of the products.  Honestly, they're among the best of any MLM I've tried. 

Think of the other companies that have made major impacts by bringing locally or regionally known 'superfruits' to the world stage - and that's what Visi has done with their Scandanavian Blend - I make no health claims but each ingredient by itself is recognized for major and multiple health benefits.

This is a great case study. You started during prelaunch, which is typically the idea time to get involved with any business.  ViSi has a consumable product, something I've always felt was a key to any company in this industry having long term success.  They've made it over the first year hump, how have you fared so far?

Is it a binary compensation plan?

I've done well.  I disagree slightly that 'prelaunch' is the ideal time to join - so many companies fail in that first year from lack of capital and growth.  But I knew the Master Distributor, did my research, and was comfortable (and I wasn't doing any other company at the time!)

I love the Health, Nutrition and Weight Loss industries, because it's easy to SHARE the product with people.  The market exists (only about 66% of us!) and if it works for them great, I show them how to order from a website.  If not, appreciate them trying it and wish them luck.

There are tons of 'products' sold through MLM, but IMHO you absolutely need something that's easy to explain, easy to share, with no direct competition in the market.

Oh, you'd argue, there are hundreds of competitors?  yes, I would agree. The shelves are filled with tons of products that don't work, are full of harsh chemicals, or make you jittery!

It all comes back to the individual and letting them try it!

Yes, ViSi has a binary structure.  One of the absolute best things about it is there is no 'flushing' of the volume. 

To keep it simple, you are paid on matching volume in both legs.  If you have $10,000 in one leg and $5000 in the other, you're paid on the $5000 volume.  In some other companies the remaining $5000 "goes away" and you lose it, leading to a constant struggle and stress to Balance your legs!

ViSi rolls the volume over so you never lose it!

How have I fared?

Pretty darn well. 

I just quit my job and this past Monday was my first day working from home.  I'm an honest person, so ViSi is the largest portion of my income, but only one of several streams.  However, I felt I'd "topped out" in my efforts working a couple of hours at night, and am working it full-time now.

I think the pre-launch aspect helps because it provides an open market, and may also help with closing prospects because most people feel that the "get in early" scenario lets them benefit from company growth.

Many companies fail in that first year, but I definitely assumed you had done your research on ViSi and that it had a better than average chance for staying afloat through the initial launch period.

The no-flushing volume is a significant departure from most companies using the binary. Are the cycle checks based on a percentage of total sales in the company pool, i.e. do the cycle amounts vary week to week? Or is it a fixed amount with the 2 to 1 matching volume structure ( I think Vemma uses the same, but they do flush volume quarterly or something similar ).

The cycle checks do vary, but it's based on the downline volume of your 2 legs only, not any company pool.
