There is no doubt that here in the Philippines, there are so many nutritional supplements being sold, distributed, marketed, and consumed. A lot of times, people get confused or not know how to choose the best product for their money - to include effective results.
Well, have no fear. I am here to help you identify if a product is worth looking into or not.
First of all, let's look at the Mission, the Company, the Product, and then the Opportunity. Yes, I included Opportunity. IF the product is that good, then it has to lead to the business. We all know that word-of-mouth is the fastest and best way to advertise a product. And when there is a demand for a product, you just have to know how to supply that demand. Right ?
Here are some questions you have to keep in mind to ensure a decision based on knowledge:
The Mission - companies with integrity always have a mission. " a shoe for every filipino" - Henry Sy, " a computer for every home" - Bill Gates, " nourishing the world, one shake at a time " - Dr. Theodore Kalogris.
Ask yourself, does this company have a mission to service humantiy ?
The Company - most successful companies go through fire within 5 yrs. A lot of times, start up companies die out, fade away, go bankrupt within 2 years. If the products are not that great, how long do you think the company will last ? Are the leaders still in place ? Do they outsource services and facilities ? Did they sell out or change management several times ? You have to look at the stability of the company.
The Products - This is my favorite part as far as consumers are concerned. I will have to ask the following questions to let you know that there is such a company, and you can contact me for more information:
Ask these questions of a product or company that you might have in mind..
- Do the products have US Patents ?
- Is it Halal or Kosher ? Are there certifications readily available ?
- Is the company a member of DSAP, DSA, BFAD, FDA, Council for Responsible Nutrition ?
- Are there products that are good for vegans and vegetarians ?
- Is it safe for all children ?
- Is it doctor approved ?
- Are results clinically proven ?
- Can you take the product along with medication ?
- Does it have a 30 day 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked ?
- Can the products really change people's lives ?
- Can the products lower high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high glucose count ?
- Do the products target needs for Joint Health, Sugar Management, Children's Health, Weight Loss, Sports and Performance, Daily Essential Nutrition, Anti-Aging, Digestive Health..
The Opportunity - I love this part here -- as a business entrepreneur, myself..
Consider these features ..
- Is there an exit strategy ? Meaning, if I decide to invest in the company, and I changed my mind, what recourse do I have ?
- Does it have a buy-back guarantee ? Meaning if I decided not to do the business anymore, for whatever reason, can I return all unopened products in good condition, and still get 90% back, considering only a 10% restocking fee ?
- If I just started as a distributor, for only P2500 with products, is there a 14 day cooling off period ? Meaning if I changed my mind, all I have to do is return the distributor kit and we call it even ?
- Are there more than 5 ways of Income in this business ?
