Waiora's Beginnings



The name, Waiora, was chosen to reflect health and longevity, as achieved by bathing in the secret spring of Polynesian mythology's goddess, Waiora.

Stan Cherelstein, past President and Chief Financial Officer of another nutritional company,
which had been sold and restructured, spent considerable time and thought to develop an entirely new, more equatable Network Marketing (NM) / Multiple Level Marketing (MLM) business and compensation plan.

In addition he sought out unique life-changing natural products for the health and longevity of people around the world who are excited about these possibilities.

If you are familiar with NM / MLM compensation plans, you may understand what this means: 3 legs, 9 deep with compression. (The best my sponsor has ever seen.)

If you are not familiar with MLM compensation plans and aren't interested in finding out right now, just ignore that part. I wasn't interested in the compensaton plan at first.

Perhaps you may want to be just a Retail Customer, or just a Member in order to purchase products at wholesale. (Ask Dianna to e-mail to you an Excel worksheet she has prepared that shows the differences in price.)

If you have concerns and / or skepticism regarding NM / MLM, please see information in this blog about Tim Sales and the DVD he created "A Brilliant Marketing Plan".

Stan is one of the two co-founders, CEO and President of Waiora. Stan's choice for the other co-founder is Eddie Stone, a former co-worker. He chose Eddie for his charismatic leadership, who had phenomenal success during his 13 years as an independent distributor for another direct selling company.

This brand new company launched in May 2004 in Boca Raton, Florida. Within in two years it was debt free, and moving forward rapidly towards Stan's vision.

I've found people ask many more detailed questions about MLM products than any they have purchased "off the shelf". A company can't hide anything from the "inquisitors". So you can be sure the products are safe and more effective than the FDA allows any company to say.

A Brilliant Marketing Plan

Tim Sales is the name of a man who has put together a website and a 1 ½ hour DVD that explains Multi Level Marketing (MLM) / Network Marketing in a generic non-hype way.

One comment regarding Tim states, “he is clearly number one in honesty, integrity, knowledge and service.” He is unusually “real”.

When I first saw the 1 ½ hour DVD, I was astounded and thrilled with his professional presentation. The potential of MLM is made understandable and the old thinking that it is a pyramid scam is finally laid to rest.

Tim included an excellent interview with Dr. Charles King, Professor of Marketing at the University of Illinois, Chicago, as well as personal stories and pictures of other professionals who discovered the benefits of MLM.

However, since an hour and a half is a bit much for one sitting, it is easily divided into three half hour segments or two 45 minute segments.

No longer will a network marketer have to explain MLM or feel they have been bamboozled by shadowy characters.

They can feel proud of their business and the service they are providing by bringing quality product(s) and helpful information to people, who have been scammed by slick magazine advertising and TV commercials that pay people to act like your friend, family or neighbor. Actors can be “trained” to say anything to convince you the product they are promoting is safe and of great value. (Especially pharmaceutical drugs with a long list of side effects. Just ask your doctor!)

Is that actor available for personal consultations or really care about you and your situation?

Begin by watching a short animated preview on Tim Sales’ Brilliant Compensation website. Then call me to borrow the “live” 1 ½ hour video.

Help Others – Help Yourself. MLM is a win – win business!

Amazon has two highly recommended books about this distribution / income phenomenon:
The Wave 4 Way To Building Your Downline by Richard Poe, Published 2000
Your First Year In Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell, Published 1998

If this is of interest to you, let’s talk about discovering Waiora's liquid zeolite (Natural Cellular Defense), which helps rid the body of heavy metals and toxic chemicals that damage the DNA of people, pets and Mother Earth’s soil – the foundation for the vitamins and minerals required to grow nutritious food and supports a healthy life.

Perhaps you are interested in Waiora’s liquid medicinal mushroom, Agaricus Blazei Murill, which Japanese scientists began studying before 1980 and found it to enhance the immune system with beta glucan polysaccharides, which have shown strong results in treating and preventing cancer.

You may borrow the booklet by Beth Ley, Ph.D. “Medicinal Mushrooms for Immune Enhancement”, which goes into detail about combating viruses and bacteria, protecting the body from cancer and how Agaricus Blazei Murill has demonstrated a 99.4% anti-cancer effect and 90.0% rate of complete recovery. (See page 21 in the booklet.)

If you decide you are interested in purchasing any of Waiora's products at wholesale, for approximately $34.00 (which includes shipping and sales tax) you will have the opportunity to become not only a member of Waiora, but the opportunity to purchase their products at wholesale. This also gives you the privilege of earning an income by sharing the products with others. (MLM)

P.S. At the top of this page is Tim Sales' website. If you click on that web address, his website comes up. Look on the left side - under his picture - under "order movies now".

Notice two movie previews in English you can click on. One is titled: Brilliant Compensation, the other is, What The Wealthy Buy on Payday. They are short 5 minute abbreviated animated "movies".

If you find this concept of interest, let's talk about it.

If not, let's arrange to get liquid zeolite to you to find out what it can do for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Benefits

Network Marketing with Waiora

Two initial benefits of Membership
1. Purchase products at wholesale
2. If now- or at some future time - you want to build a business,
you tell your Mentor (the person who signed you up) and your training will begin.
That person will offer suggestions and answer your questions to help you to succeed.

Notice that, a Member/Business Builder pays the same wholesale price for all the products.

Which of the following nine ways of generating income are acceptable / reasonable for your situation?
1. Inherit
2. Invest
3. Get a Job & Work for someone else
4. Own your own business / consulting / non-profit
5. Purchase a franchise
6. Retirement income
7. Social Security
8. Become a member of a Network Marketing Company
9. A Combination of any of the above

Network Marketing (NM) / Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is ...

An opportunity to invest in yourself at a low reasonable cost.

An opportunity to have a mentor that cares about your success.

An opportunity to learn about economics / leverage from a more equitable perspective.

To have true leverage is where everyone has the same amount to gain.

Leverage is an increased means to earn something.

An opportunity to become the best you can be - socially and financially.

An opportunity to provide more for your family.



Questions …
Does Network Marketing drive up the cost of the product? Yes.

Does that mean the cost to the consumer is expensive? No

Non-health products would be less expensive than traditional companies.

If the products are “health products”, the NM company eliminates traditional distribution and employee payroll, taxes, insurance and bonuses.

The NM company may spend more on research and development.

The NM company pays more for customer service, since new members have many questions. *

The NM company pays large sums to their high volume Business Builders.

There are no fair comparisons in the market place.
The NM product is usually a better value.

* The NM company must be prepared to answer a multitude of questions
that are never asked about products sold in a retail store.

It is assumed that products in a retail store are monitored by the government.

It is assumed that the government protects the public.

In recent years we have discovered this is not the case!

A NM company’s ability to remain in business and protect their existence, is by taking responsibility that all aspects are of very high quality and provide expert service. The Fed's also monitor them, and they re a U.S. company.

A NM company’s products are usually unique and will move into the public consciousness faster when many members tell others.

This “Word Of Mouth” advertising is done by people you or your friends or neighbors either know or could actually contact and speak with.

Thousands of dollars are spent by “typical” retail manufacturers and stores on TV, magazine, newspaper and online advertising. The TV advertising is paid to an actor, for their acting skills, not for their personal endorsement.

Excerpts from Your First Year In Network Marketing
by Mark and Rene Yarnell 1998

Page 16, Shake off any residue of negative self-esteem, any emotional baggage that you may be carrying around and take pride in yourself.

"It is important to understand that you have a greatness and an unlimited potential to elevate everyone around you.

Practice exuding your inner strength with your head held high and you will see an immediate difference in your general acceptance, your leadership success, and your income."

Waiora’s Unique Income Possibilities
for
Business Builders

Business Terms that relate to the above processes:

CV - Commissionable Volume:
A predetermined value is assigned to products, which are converted to “points”.
Be aware that the CV for the most part, is the same as the actual $ spent (within .05, .10 or .15 cents).
Example:
When your product item is shown in the catalog as $39.95 , you pay $39.95.
However, the CV is rounded up to 40 CV.
Except for the Superior Fiber Blend and the Skinscents Travel Pack.
The CV for these items is 5 points less.

PV - Personal Volume:
PV is the dollar value of products you purchase in a month via AdvantageShip or separate purchases. No compensation is earned on member’s own purchases.

In order to receive a monthly compensation from Waiora, a member must purchase a minimum of 100 PV or 200 PV in that month, based on their Rank. (See ranks below.)

A Retail Customer may sign up to become a Preferred Customer for a lifetime fee of $10.
They may order direct from Waiora and have their product delivered to them.

A Business Builder earns 5% from a Retail Customer’s PV 0f 100 CV to 499 CV.
A Business Builder earns 10% from a Retail Customer’s PV of 500 CV or more.

Customer’s Volume does not count as part of a Member’s PV or AdvantageShip.

OV - Organizational Volume:
The CV value accumulated each month by your purchases and those of your “downline”.
(Downline refers to people you enroll and the people they enroll.)
At the end of each calendar month, Business Builders qualify for one of six ranks.

Waiora’s Ranks:
Bronze: New member, no downline, not qualified to receive commissions.
Silver, Gold and Ruby are qualified to receive commissions when they purchase 100 PV per month.
Emerald and Diamond are qualified to receive commissions when they purchase 200 PV per month.


FastStart Bonus

The FastStart Bonus allows every member the opportunity to earn a
bi-weekly commission check based on the first 200 volume of their new enrolled Member's first order.

As your business grows, by enrolling new members, and/or by mentoring your “downline,
you will qualify to earn more, based on your “rank”, such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald and Diamond. (See Compensation Plan – Ranks.)

Distributors have the potential of earning two levels deep,
which includes their personal enrollment activity (Level l)
and the enrollment activity of people they have personally enrolled (Level 2).

For a detailed explanation, see the large plastic chart that comes in the Membership Kit.

FastStart Pay Period

The FastStart pay period is based on orders placed and paid for
during two bi-weekly pay periods each month:
the 1st through the 15th and the
16th through the end of the month.

To receive a FastStart check,
Waiora must receive and process an order
no later than 11:59 p.m. EST (8:59 p.m. PT)
on the 15th or the last day of a month,

Business Builders wishing to include orders and receive payment
for a particular period outside of Waiora's hours of operation,
may process orders online though your Back Office
up to __________________.

FastStart commission checks will be mailed
three to five business days after the close of a FastStart period,
(by the 5th and 20th day?)
barring forces of nature that are beyond our control
that may cause a delay in the mailing of commission checks.

AdvantageShip:
This term is used to describe an automatic monthly delivery.

The amount may be changed at will, from canceling to what products and total cost are desired.

you must be signed up by (what date? ____________ ).
for either a $100 or $200 product order.

A commission check is based each month on
how many new members you enrolled in the previous month and
the Personal Volume (PV) of their order.

At the end of each month, the total points earned by all qualifying Distributors are totaled.

A Distributor's PaceSetter Bonus is their total points earned, multiplied by $25.
Example: 1 new Member purchases a 500

PaceSetter:

If a new Member’s first order is a 500 CV ($500) PaceSetter Pack they are permanently qualified each month to receive the maximum payout as long as they purchase the required PV for their rank.

ITherefore, it's to a Business Builder’s financial advantage to choose a PaceSetter Pack for their first order. Especially, if they think it’s possible they may enroll five (new) Members in the current month, each with a minimum 100 PV order - in the same month.
(Dianna prepared for you a PaceSetter/Discount Packs Excel worksheet Ask to have it emailed to you.)

To continue to capatalaize on the PaceSetter Bonus, a Business Builder must continue to have an active AdvantageShip order with a minimum of 100 PV each month, as well as personally enroll five (new) Members in the current month, each with a minimum 100 PV order.

Then for each new Member personally enrolled during the month, an additional bonus is paid based on points earned.

Points are earned based on a new Member's initial order as follows:
1 point for 100 to 199
2 points for 200 to 499
5 points for 500 +

A Waiora member, who did not initally choose a $500 PaceSetter pack can maximize their income at any time by purchasing a 500 CV ($500) order in any one month.

Once the 500 CV order has been accepted, the Business Builder is immediately qualified for the maximum FastStart payout for the remainder of the current month and the following month.

Commissions
A Business Builder’s commissions are earned based on the size and structure of his/her organization (downline).

A new Business Builder’s first month commissions are based on their 1st month activity.
The bonus is paid based on points earned from each new Member personally enrolled during the month.

Example:
A PaceSetter Business Builder is enrolled in the AdvantageShip program for $100 PV and
enrolls 5 new Members in September and each new Member purchases a 500 CV PaceSetter Pack ($500).

The PaceSetter Business Builder earns 5 points per 5 new members (25 points).
(In 2008 the points are "worth" $5 each.) Therefore, 25 points x $25 = $625.00.
This $5 will be adjusted next year based on the company's profit in 2008.)


Waiora's Business Terms
