Business Plan

Before we go and acquaint with the business plan of forever living Products, let us understand some misconceptions what we have in our mind.

-------------------Are You working Like 90% of The Population working?
If you took the average individuals and kept a record of them through out their whole lives,

--------------- here is the trend you would see

1) They spend their initial 20-25 years of age in getting education.
2) Further,35-40 years of his age, they work for their livelihood without fulfilling    dream & desire.
3) At last, they retire at the evening of their age,50% out of them could not afford to live on in the first place.

This is the exact system that most of you are in. This system is broken! It simply makes no sense!

  ..................here is the universal system that teaches you how to be a worker drone in the collective!

The majority of people live in what is known as the - TIME FOR MONEY TRAP. The more time you give your employer the more money you make. If you are not there working you get nothing, it is LINIER INCOME.

People have a misconception that a Job is security,the fact is there is no security with a job! And on top of it you probably don't even enjoy it. Even if highly paid professionals are stuck in this time for money trap.

So What Is The Answer?
FACT: There is an exciting industry on the market that is creating more millionaires than any other industry in history. It is a growth industry that is on its way to surpass any other in sales.
What is this industry?
Network Marketing. You may say, "Oh no not MLM again!" and roll your eyes but ask yourself these questions:
1) Do I really know anything about this industry?
2) Am I completely satisfied with my lifestyle today and does it provide me with the opportunity to work part time (10-15 hours a week) and earn a very healthy six figure income, while enjoying life as it was meant to be enjoyed?
If the answer is NO

----------------then I recommend that you take a serious look at this industry

So, what is NETWORK MARKETING or MULTI LEVEL MARKETING?

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they recruit, creating a Downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. Other terms for MLM include Network Marketing, Pyramid Selling and Referral Marketing.
Most commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and “word of mouth” marketing. Some people equate MLM with direct selling, although MLM is only one type of direct selling.

--------Now you think, what is “ word of mouth marketing”

"Word of Mouth". 
Whether you realize it or not, you are already involved in the mlm industry. What do you do when you have seen a good movie? You tell all of your friends!! Now, what would happen if your were paid a royalty commission every time someone you told goes and sees the movie, you would tell more people about the movie!

As the name suggests, multiple levels of people are marketing a product to consumers. A sales representative (also referred to as a distributor, member, affiliate, partner or associate) gets customers and recruits and trains another sales rep to get customers.
Let’s see a example.
Power of Network-Time Leverage
You work
8 hr/day      x 5 days/week = 40 hr/week
40 hr/week    x 50 weeks    = 2000 hr/year
2,000 hr/year x 40 years    = 80000 hr/life (Simple Mathematics)
Your Boss
80,000 people x 8 hr/day    = 650,000 hr/day

You Vs Your Boss
80,000 hr @ 200/- per hr         = 16,000,000 /life
80,000 people @ avg. 50/- per hr = 32,000,000 /day
So what is that a Your Boss has, and you don’t?

The answer is People Network. They are multiplying their hours and hence multiplying their income.
People Network is exactly what we achieve by Network Marketing.

With consistent effort the network marketing industry model can give the average person wealth in 2 to 4 years working 7 to 10 hours a week, you can double, triple or even quadruple your income inside two years.
You can produce residual income where you get paid forever for work you did in the past. If you are willing to trade a 45 year retirement for a 2 to 4 year one then this business is for you!

One of the major benefits of this business is you can have unlimited income potential.

Now let us know about the business plan of forever Living Products, how it is different from the other companies multi-level modules.

Rex Maughan, President and Founder of Forever Living Products, devised his network marketing scheme over thirty four years ago. His is recognised as one of the most generous Marketing Plans in today's network marketing arena. Perhaps because of this, FLP is the number 1 distributor of health, nutrition, skincare and beauty.
.....Let us have a brief look on company’s profile:-

So why does network marketing work so well? What is so special about this method of moving goods from the manufacturer to the customer? Why have network marketing companies in general, and FLP in particular, grown even faster during the recession than they did in the booming 80s?

Perhaps it is because Network Marketing offers so many of the advantages of franchising, without the disadvantages, that it is enjoying such success. For example, as an independent distributor of Forever Living Products:

you are your own boss with a very large, successful, very well-established company, with a billion-dollar worldwide turnover
you are running your own business - yet you are supported by your Sponsor into the business and the superb FLP Area Manager system
you have no initial investment, there are no annual fees, and you will never need to hold stock . What is that you really need to invest that, is Bit of your TIME.

you can work the hours you wish, Making Members Chain is also NOT Mandatory

But Member Chain can definitely BOOST your INCOME

That's why it is referred as True MLM!

You have freedom to move location within the India or to another country, wherever you are, your business continue to earn income for you.
The F LP’s expert manager run regular free Business Trainings in your area - you can take along your guests to introduce them to FLP, and they will hear presentations by experienced top-level speakers on the business, the marketing plan, and the products
There is absolutely minimal paperwork
All positions in the Marketing Plan are permanent, so there are no penalties for taking a month or two away from your work
You are never required to pay your team member's bonuses - bonus cheques are sent out by FLP, directly to each individual distributor, on the 15th of every month - without fail
Bonus payments are based upon the Retail Value of all products purchased at wholesale price during the previous month
Invoices are logged daily, so if you achieve a higher level in the Marketing Plan in mid-month, your higher bonus will be applied immediately to all subsequent invoices
Distributors below you, in your team can never pass you by to reach a higher level - you will automatically be moved up to the same level.

The specific advantages of the network marketing mechanism are as follows:

Each distributor builds his or her team network using the principle of duplication of training methods at every level of the network.Each distributor uses the products and sharing experiences ( by word of mouth) with personal contacts, friends and family provides the cornerstone of most distributor networks.

A personal bonus scheme is applied on the personal volume of product sold. The personal bonus percentage increases as the distributor rises up the ladder.

An additional group volume bonus scheme is applied depending on the performance of the network belonging to the distributor and varying bonus levels applied within the given network. It is the group volume bonus that provides an additional positive feedback mechanism which drives the incentive of each distributor to continue expanding their network.

Forever Living Products' bonus schemes are generous compared to those of other network marketing companies.

The recruitment process consists of:

-------- building and expanding the network team of individual independent distributors as well as building and expanding the consumer customer base.

The Forever Living Products (FLP) Network Marketing Plan, shown graphically below, is an excellent plan:

It aims to reward distributors generously at every level of the business.

Everyone in the Distributor Level progression from Assistant Supervisor to Manager buys their FLP products at the same 30% discounted price. The additional monthly Personal Volume Bonus varies from 5% to 18% depending on Distributor Level position along the progression starting from Assistant Supervisor and is calculated on the Retail Prices of all purchases each month.

           Hence, the total profit on purchases will vary from 35% at the Assistant Supervisor level to 48% at the Manager level.

 In addition, as the network team grows, a Group Volume Bonus(Team-Leading Bonus) is applied according to the Distributor Level in the team. It is this Group Volume Bonus that provides the drive power of the marketing network engine.

 Distributor Level progression from Assistant Supervisor to Manager:

Independent Distributor: You join the company as an Independent Distributor by signing the single-page Application Form, which is countersigned by your Sponsor into the FLP business. You receive your unique FLP identity number and you buy products from your Sponsor at the Retail price.

Assistant Supervisor: To go from Independent Distributor to Assistant Supervisor you must purchase products to the value of 2 Case Credits (see explanation of Case Credits - CCs - below). At this point you receive the Authorisation to Purchase (ATP) at the 30% discount price. Thereafter you will receive a monthly Bonus cheque direct from FLP representing 5% PersonalVolume Bonus on the Retail Prices of all purchases in the previous month.

Supervisor: You reach Supervisor level when you and the members of your team purchase products totalling 25 CCs over any two-month period.

-         At this level the Personal Volume Bonus on all the products you purchase is 8% and

-          you receive an additional Group Volume Bonus(Team-Leading Bonus) of 3% on all products purchased by your Assistant Supervisor team members. If someone in your team becomes a Supervisor, you cease earning the Group Volume Bonus on their team until you progress to Assistant Manager level.

Assistant Manager: To rise from Supervisor to Assistant Manager you and the members of your team purchase products totalling 75 CCs over any two-month period.

-         At this level the Personal Volume Bonus on all the products you purchase is 13% and,

-          you receive additional Group Volume Bonus(Team-Leading Bonus) of 5% on all products purchased by frontline Supervisors in your team, and 8% on frontline Assistant Supervisors.

Manager: To make Manager you and the members of your team purchase products totalling 120 CCs over any two-month period.

-         At this level the Personal Volume Bonus on all the products you purchase is 18% and,

-          you receive additional Group Volume Bonus(Team-Leading Bonus) of 5% on all purchases by frontline Assistant Managers in your team, 10% on frontline Supervisors, and 13% on frontline Assistant Supervisors.

It is clear that the Group Volume Bonus kicks in at the Supervisor level and that higher levels along the Distributor Level progression accrue an increasing Group Volume Bonus from levels below. The Group Volume Bonus is the positive feedback mechanism which provides the incentive to maintain, develop and expand the 'downline' network.

---------Now, see what is CASE CREDITS and how the PROFITS & BONUSES are calculated:

 Examples:

Case Credits: The international currency unit used by FLP for calculating Distributor turnover and bonuses is the Case Credit. Every product in the FLP range has an assigned Case Credit value which is related to the monetary value of each item. In the UK, the wholesale value of 1 Case Credit = £ 94.12 excluding vat. The corresponding wholesale vat inclusive value of 1 Case Credit = £ 110.59. This gives the retail vat inclusive value of 1 Case Credit = £157.99 taking the standard 30% discount price.

Profits and Bonuses: Your Bonus Cheque is based on the retail value of all purchases you personally make in a month and the total retail value of purchases made by your network group. Your Total Profit consists of three components-
 (1) Baseline Profit (BP) = [ R - W ] = 30%R __where R* and W* are the total Vat inclusive Retail and Wholesale value of purchases you make respectively and 30% is the standard discount price whichever position you are in the Marketing Plan.
(2) Personal Volume Bonus(PVB) = X%[R/1.175] __ where X% is the personal volume bonus percentage which varies on distributor level over the range {5%, 8%, 13%, 18%}.
(3) Group Volume Bonus(GVB) = Y%[R*/1.175] __ where Y% is the network team or group volume bonus percentage which varies as a function of distributor level over the range {3%, 8%, 13%} and R* is the total Vat inclusive Retail value of all purchases made by everyone in your network team below your distributor level.
                            *“R” refer to Retail price inclusive VAT,
                            * “W” refer to Whole sale price inclusive VAT
Consequently,
Total Profit = 30%R + X%[R/1.175] + Y%[R*/1.175]
Now you are entering in Forever Living Products’s Marketing Plan-2 ( it’s a advance Levels marketing plan, At the first level, you have achieved a manager level and your monthly cheque might be more than Rs. 60000. ( depending on you & your team’s efforts)
