Four Cornerstones
Executive Vice President of Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM Dennis Franks, Executive Vice President of Asia-Pacific Kevin Buckman, Vice President Andrew Weissman, and Vice President of Sales Jim Winkler walked onstage to discuss the four cornerstones.
Dennis was up first, and he restated the Market America mission statement. The four cornerstones of Market America are:
- Binomial Marketing and the Management Performance Compensation Plan (MPCP)
- UnFranchise Business Systems
- Product Brokerage
- One-to-One Marketing and Converting Spending into Earning
The MPCP offers better cash flow, higher retention, and potential for supplemental income. This plan includes a sophisticated tracking system with the potential for weekly commissions. UFOs can earn from multiple business centers^.
The UnFranchise Business Systems features standardization and uniformity to facilitate duplication of result (BV/IBV) producing activities. These systems include systemized and standardized strategies and practices that are highly accessible.
Product brokerage can be contributed to Market America’s growth over the last 30 years. Market America has hundreds of exclusive products and services with access to multi-billion-dollar markets. This allows the company flexibility to move within the marketplace.
One-to-One Marketing is based on the phrase “people hate to be sold but love to buy.” UnFranchise Owners build their business one customer at a time. It’s relationship marketing, providing solutions to the wants and needs of the customer.
Converting Spending into Earning is another phrase for the Shopping Annuity, which is a revolutionary concept. People convert their spending into earning through the UnFranchise Business and SHOP.COM. When you or anyone you lead to shops online, you get 100% of the credit for those purchases.
Marc Ashley – Product Brokerage: The Next Chapter
Marc Ashley – President & COO of Market America Worldwide – came out for his first of two presentations at MAIC2021. Marc reiterated Market America’s focus as a company, which is to make sure that UFOs don’t have to spend time on anything other than prospecting and recruiting. Marc said, “Great plan, great products, great people. If one doesn’t work, then the company doesn’t work. ”
Marc takes pride in the fact that Market America provides products in multiple billion-dollar markets. One of the markets, immune health & support, has been at the forefront of culture for the last 18 months. Marc showcased Isotonix products that have been a staple in Market America’s immune health & support department. A lot of these products have been in Market America for decades.
After discussing immune products, Marc turned his attention to functional and wellbeing tea products. Trim Tea, Shopping Annuity Premium Green Tea, and Shopping Annuity Premium Immunitea are some of the teas available to UnFranchise Owners. Marc introduced the newest tea in Market America, the Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Wellbeing Tea. This wellbeing tea is an adaptogenic tea that can give you both energy and calm your nerves.
Immune health is very important, but so is mental health and wellbeing. Isolation, financial stress, and lifestyle changes have all been attributed to poor mental health over the last 18 months. Products such as Bliss, Turn Down, and Isotonix Magnesium are a few products that can help combat stress and promote good mental health.
Marc continued to spotlight new products such as Isotonix Sexual Health and Thermochrome™ V6. They both include best-in-class ingredients that are backed by science. One product, thymenol, is a special combination of ThmyoQuin and Pycnogenol. Another product, ultimate aloe with astareal astaxanthin, was a breakthrough for this business. With all products, they are always of the highest quality with extremely high-quality standards.
Marc transitioned to the next chapter of the business. Marc said, “If you don’t make time for your wellness, then you will make time for your illness.” Some of the newest products are the Heart Health Blood Pressure and Vascular Support.
