One of the things I truly appreciate about Zoom Mobile is they run their operation like a business. When they have issues or concerns, they don’t pussy foot around, Matt Foreman reaches out, and schedules a call. Today was one such call.

I met with Zoom Founder, George Burton, Founding Distributor, Matt Davis, and Chief Legal Counsel, Matthew Foreman to discus the following items of interest.

Is Matt Davis still with Zoom Mobile? The answer is YES! Like any team who has come together to form a new venture, it takes a little time for each team member to figure out where they can thrive. Matt made it clear today, after crisscrossing the country in the Zoom Bus, he realized his real passion is team building in the field, not running a company from the inside.

His passion for the whole Zoom family, and is unwavering loyalty to George Burton personally was truly refreshing.

Zoom VOIP Network – George Burton was stoked when I brought up this question. He shared how this new Zoom VOIP Network will work with traditional landlines and mobile phones. Zoom had a special application designed to use with their wireless phones, and is one more service which George had promised to the field and have now delivered.

He is sending me a phone to text this new platform, so be watching for an upcoming article on this new ZOOM VOIP Service.

Is the rumors of a pending lawsuit against ZRT Mobile true? George Burton addressed this first. He made it very clear he will protect the Zoom brand, and the Zoom distributors privacy at all cost!

“I am not going to set by, and let anyone damage our business. We have invested over a million dollars to launch this company and deliver on our promises.”

Matthew Foreman, made it very clear, he will be filing a civil complaint against ZRT Mobile and several individuals who have made it clear they are the founders of the company.

Matthew was also very clear, that at least one ZRT Founder, had been a former employee of Zoom Mobile, and had copied they distributor database before leaving the company and has made it available to ZRT Mobile for cross solicitation.

Now, if this turns out to be true, and I have no reason to question Matthew Foreman’s then at least one ZRT Founder, may be looking at criminal changes, not just a civil complaint. And if it is proven that ALL the founders of ZRT knew the database was stolen then we may have a criminal conspiracy on our hands.

Launching a competing company in the same niche is Free Enterprise aka Capitalism and I am a proponent of this type of business.

However, when a company is launched by stealing confidential and proprietary information, then I draw the line.

I have received several emails from the founders of ZRT Mobile, along with reading through all the comments on the last Zoom article. Based on what I have read to date, I will be writing an article next week after I have submitted a list of questions to the founders of ZRT Mobile and have received their responses live or in written form.

A Tribute To a Leading Lady

“Aug 5th will be 6 months.

. . . I have been scanning pictures to make a slide show. Boy what a life we have had 34 years together living, loving, working, side by side every day. The World of Network Marketing has given us this freedom and income to do most everything we ever wanted: To live our lives in a style most people could only imagine or understand not having a job. . . This life is so very short so with that: When in doubt, show up early. Think less. Feel more. Ask Once. Give thanks often. Expect the best. Appreciate everything. Never give up. Make it fun. It’s ok to Regroup or Yield. Smile lots. Always order dessert. And live as if you are inevitable. REMEMBER thoughts become things. Pick the best ones!

Your Friend ~ Jim Moore”

What started last month when MLM Watchdog Rod Cook shot an analytical review of MonaVie has now moved into a very complex series of events which has, in some peoples mind pitted MonaVie against the First Amendment right of Ted Nuyten, founder of BusinessForHome.org. Ted wrote an article last week titled – “MonaVie Revenue 2010 Under Heavy Pressure?”

The basis of this article was founded on anonymous information supplied to the MLM Bashing site of Terry Coenen “The Fraud Files” in an article she wrote back in May titled – “An anonymous source reveals numbers for MonaVie.”

After writing the above article, Ted received a Cease and Desist notice from MonaVie’s attorney’s demanding he removed the unbiased information.

Ted and I are good friends and I stand by his right to publish the article. He did a great job of adding disclaimers to the article, letting folks know he did not know if the information was correct or not. However, what he failed to do, is link to the original article on Coenen’s site. This is what caused MonaVie to send their legal team his direction.

Ted followed up with a new post hitting MonaVie for attacking “Freedom of Speech” and linking to the original article in his follow-up article titled – “Monavie letter to Ted Nuyten regarding the Reported Revenue for 2010″

And, you guessed it, Terry Coenen wrote her own follow-up article slamming MonaVie in an article titled – “MonaVie lawyers are again threatening critics”

Let me state, Terry Coenen is a forensic accountant and fraud examiner, who investigates white collar crimes. I have no doubt she is good at her career. As a matter of fact she has written a couple of books on the subject. However, we see Direct Selling, specifically legitimate MLM companies from complete diabolically opposed views.

I believe had Ted linked to the Coenen’s original article as the source of his information, he would never have received a letter from MonaVie. I also believe had he not used information from a known MLM bashing website, this issue would not have grown as large as it has.

All of us who are advocates and ambassadors of Direct Selling, MLM and Network Marketing should be very careful with our use of Free Speech! Although it is out Right, it also comes with huge responsibilities! Just because we have the right to write something, doesn’t mean it is right to write it!

Our #1 responsibility should not to focus on “Our Rights” as much as it should be to focus on the lives of the distributors we effect, by posting partial truths. Millions of distributors are looking at MLM as a way to earn a solid part-time income, or replace their current full-time income.

After all this happened I reached out to Dallin Larsen and asked him a couple of questions.

Troy: “Dallin based on current rumors surrounding the fact MonaVie’s attitude and even culture seems to have changed lately, can you shed some light on what is going on?”

Dallin: “Troy, I’m unaware of any company in the history of Direct Selling that’s achieved the success that MonaVie has achieved in its first 5 years. I believe it’s unprecedented. However, I also understand the need to constantly reinvent yourself as a company because we live in an ever changing world.

Just as an infant grows up to a teenager and then an adult, companies, including MonaVie, must do the same. What got us to our first couple billion in sales won’t get us to where we need to go so we have various initiatives underway of which I’m very excited, including product expansion and other initiatives.

MonaVie will not always be first to market relative to product expansion but we will always be “Best in Class.” Products that are on the leading edge of science. Our commitment to science is evidenced by the millions we’ve spent to date, validating the efficacy of our products.”

Troy: “Dallin, I have one other question I would like to ask, for the article I am writing. Based on the current anonymous article and recent analysis on MonaVie’s decline in revenues, and possible death dive, can you share anything on the financial side of the MonaVie house?”

Dallin: “Troy, with our webcast in October, we will unveil the next phase for MonaVie. Let me simply say that in the words of Mark Twain,” the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

We are a private company and don’t release our numbers bus let me simply say that I just returned from 10 countries over the last 90 days and we are growing. Up in some markets and down in others. There’s a cycle in business and there’s a cycle in this industry.

We’ve had a very difficult economy to deal with but there are 6 plus billion people in the world and many of them are looking for a way to earn an extra source of income and MonaVie intends on continuing to offer a solid opportunity for years to come.

Since MonaVie began operations in January of 2005, we’ve paid commissions accurately and on time, each and every week, and we will continue doing so.”

I went and took a look at the numbers based on some of the same websites others have used to promote the decline in MonaVie’s traffic and possible revenues. I also want to make it clear that Direct Selling News, the industry leader in up to date information on direct selling companies just listed MonaVie as #17 out of the top 100 global Direct Selling Companies. with $785 million in wholesale revenues as of 2009.

The images below from Alexa.com as of August 18th, 2010, shows that MonaVie has had a decline in traffic hitting their main corporate site. However, in reviewing the images below it is easy to see the only company gaining huge amounts of Traffic is Amway. Which in March of 2010 launched one of the largest ad campaigns i the history of Direct Selling. Investing millions monthly to re-brand itself to Amway Global. This campaign is worldwide.

MonaVie’s decline brought it in line with other companies inside the functional health beverage category. Companies like Vemma, Noni and XanGo. This is an indication, that the company has plateaued with its current marketing efforts, and is ready to move into it’s second stage of growth. (As Dallin mentioned above.)

Let’s take a look at some of the concerns and issues surrounding Zoom Mobile:

What happened to Matt Davis? – From what I have learned Matt Davis has decided to leave corporate to focus on building his distributorship. Now, what I am not real sure on, is if that distributorship is with Zoom Mobile, or a new start-up company called ZRT.

Troy’s Insights: From what I have learned first hand, if there is a new company called ZRT which has been formed by former corporate employees and founding distributors, they had better make sure they cross all their “Ts” and dot all their “Is”, because Zoom Mobile will file a civil complaint to stop any type of harm to their brand and most of all their distributors.

As a matter of fact this small part of a song from Tomorrow’s Bad Seed fits for some of the folks who are not causing harm to the Zoom Distributors. Everyone should be very careful and think about the distributors, not themselves.

Where is the Zoom Tour Bus? – Now pictures speak louder than words. Since the Zoom Tour Bus, is leased to George Burton, and he does (or at least did) own a successful record label, he decided one of the best moves for building the Zoom Mobile Brand, is to allow the bus to be used on the Van’s Warped Tour. Tomorrows Bad Seed is using the bus on their current tour, which is truly a great way to spread the word on Zoom Mobile!

Where is the Founder’s Bonus Getting Paid? – I talked to Zoom’s legal counsel about this very subject and he assures me that Zoom Mobile Founder Bonus will be paid out on September 30th, 2010! (So if you are a founder and do not get paid on this date, please let me know!)

Now, although it is still very early in the MLM Wireless niche, it does look like Zoom is taking their time to do things right.

If you are a former distributor, former founder, or a current distributor who can shed any other insight than what we have from the Zoom Corporate office please feel free to share it publicly or even privately with me at TroyDooly@MLMHelPDesk.com

One advantage of voip is that the telephone calls over the internet do not incur

a surcharge beyond what the user is paying for internet access,

much in the same way that the user

wherever you go, and provided you are connected

to the internet you can receive incoming calls.

Compensation plans can be one of the most mysterious and confusing aspects of a network marketing opportunity. Although most companies employ qualified compensation plan consultants to assist them in developing efficient, ethical pay plans, there are a not-so-small minority that do not. Whether it be due to incompetence, deliberate deception, or a reluctant but necessary effort to remain competitive, there are several comp plan aspects being employed today that look great on paper, in theory, that rarely live up to the hype. Some companies are counting on the ignorance and naïveté of their distributors and prospects when designing their pay plans.

That is, they weren’t counting on you hearing a presentation like this one.

Inside Secrets of M.L.M. Compensation Plans is a presentation much like that of a rogue magician who exposes how all the tricks work. Once they’ve done that, the illusions lose their power to persuade. Len intends to do the same thing with M.L.M. compensation plans.

Here are just some of the points that will be covered in this presentation:

1) Why your compensation plan is the least important aspect of your opportunity’s income potential.

2) The importance of where a plan is “weighted” and how most plans today are weighted the opposite of what is most optimal.

3) How BVs and CVs are used to manipulate you and water down a pay plan.

4) Why every plan has “breakage” (unpaid commissions) and how to spot it.

5) Why no plan can pay “infinitely” in depth, and the catch among those who claim they do.

6) Other illusionary pay plan benefits that rarely benefit anyone, and why.

This will surely be a controversial, but extremely enlightening presentation. But to be clear, this discussion will not favor any one type of pay plan over another (see #1 above). The aspects exposed during this 60 minute training will be applicable to any and all types of plans, and every distributor is vulnerable to them regardless of what type of plan their company uses.

Please attend, and tell your team!

Thanks for your support of the DRA training calls, and your commitment our great profession.

“After networking and making connections, building relationships online for over twelve years it’s come to my attention that email is sort of dead don’t you think? How much real connection email do you receive now days? How many people are actually connecting and building relationships online using email? Most of what we receive is spam wouldn’t you agree?

Geez, how much Viagra can a person use anyway?!! hahaha!

I still remember back when starting online in 1996 all we had was email and a few chat rooms and forum message boards and of course the tried and true telephone which is always one of our best tools for networking right?

A lot of people come to me and ask my opinion on having a personal website and what’s more important – having a personal website or a replicated marketing system?” Read the rest of the story…
