<p>The Power of the Visalus Sciences Compensation Plan</p>
<div id="attachment_532" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 648px"><a href="http://www.cheetrock1.myvi.net" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-532   " title="Why Visalus is EXPLOADING!!" src="http://derkcheetwood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Picture-10-300x113.png" alt="" width="638" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">CLICK HERE!</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Visalus Sciences is NOT a binary… I think the industry is finally moving on from the empty promise of ‘just get in and we’ll stick a leg underneath you and you’ll only have to build one..’ Reality is 95 – 99% do not have the advantage and are out building 2 legs of which the bigger they don’t even get paid off of… With Visalus you get paid on what’s in your organization, Period!</p>
<p>2. The Visalus Compensation Plan is very balanced. Most companies are either top heavy (like binaries) or bottom heavy (party plans/top tier programs) with no BIG reward for building leadership and longevity. 33% at the bottom, 33% in the middle (these are the foot soldiers that create longevity and stability) and 34% at the top. Fair.. Honest.. Lucrative..<br />
3. With Visalus you are very FAST to profit. The Rising Star program accelerates the time it takes a new person to get into profitability.<br />
4. You get the best of both worlds as Visalus is a very ‘Product’ focused company they also have Vi-Net.. which is like a Success Club and recurring monthly service which Visalus shares and pays commissions on… SO you get paid from the ‘product‘ of Vislaus and the ‘service‘ of Vi Net. Great for stability and long term residuals..<br />
5. Body By Vi merges ‘the money’ with Lifestyle. Starting at Regional Director where you earn the BMW bonus right through to National, Presidential and AMbassador levels… Very cool lifestyle bonuses and events are enjoyed all the way through.<br />
6. Visalus has a system called Progressive Placement. You can simultaneous build speed and strategy. Visalus has a 60 day holding period. This means you can build like crazy and structure your group later. You have a full 60 days to move and permanently place your new distributors..<br />
7. The Visalus Compensation has “Super Bonuses”. Ambassador and up you can earn $25,000/ $100,000 $250,000 and $1,000,000 Bonuses for achieving rank. These are over and above the compensation plan payouts. Leaders are joining and reaching these ranks in very short order.<br />
8. The BMW Bonus. This amazing incentive is so powerful not because of the car but because of it’s strategic placement. It is placed at the second level of rank advancement near the bottom of the plan to help accelerate achievement and move people through to the top. As of the writing of this article Visalus is breaking 12 BMW qualifiers EVERY SINGLE DAY!! WOW This bonus single handedly is “Driving” the Success of the company<br />
9. The Holy Grail of the Visalus Success Plan is the Disappearing autship. Get 3 people on the same product level as you and yours is FREE for LIFE!! All you need is to have 3 people using product every single month and yours reamins free forever. The Number 1 reason people quit is because the dont make enough to pay for the product. This is why the retention rates in Visalus Sciences are so high<br />
10. The Visalus Compensation Plan is SIMPLE!! easy to explain and easy to understand. Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication!!</p>
<p>There you have it… 10 top reasons why the Visalus Sciences model of business is taking the industry by storm. This is the first company that I have seen in a long long time that will most likely become a Billion Dollar brand.</p>
<p>See you at the top<br />

<div id="attachment_319" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-319" title="nde" src="http://derkcheetwood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nde2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="445" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Click Here</p></div>
<p>Ok so maybe I didn&#8217;t really almost reach the end of my earthly life for real but I was at the door step of real MLM DEATH. I&#8217;m speaking very figuratively of course but you get my point. I had began my career in an amazing company that was growing at the speed of light, no matter the amount of work I put in (And It Was A LOT) it duplicated 100 fold, in other words it was a  juggernaut.  I thought wow my MLM dreams had finally come true , I had a business that was duplicating on it&#8217;s own I was finally making money 24/7 no matter what I was doing and it was in the $25,000.00+ a month range. In a few simple words life was good. I really wasn&#8217;t trading time for money&#8230;FREEEEEEDDDOOOMMM!</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s fast forward a couple of years and this is where the end of my MLM life almost happened. The once powerful juggernaut that commanded respect at the mere mention of it&#8217;s name, my business was now struggling to keep it&#8217;s head above water. Now let me admit that it&#8217;s downfall had nothing to do with the leaders or products in which my team and I marketed in fact they are the best around in their class as far as I&#8217;m concerned. I heard a great quote a while ago and it rings very true &#8221; What got us here, Won&#8217;t get us there&#8221; this in my opinion can be used in almost any facet of business.</p>
<p>No matter how successful a person or company is at some point we have to reinvent ourselves and our business approaches. Let&#8217;s use a little company you might have heard of &#8220;Kodak&#8221; now for my day job I work on a T.V. show so I know how film was being used in Hollywood on a daily basis films, T.V. , Commercials, you name it &#8220;Kodak&#8221; filmed it. Who would have ever thought they would have to reinvent themselves, BILLIONS of dollars a year &amp; so branded that as far as I knew they were the only people I thought made film&#8230;not really but you get my point. Then came DRUM ROLL PLEASE Digital Media!  So Kodak had a choice either embrace change and completely change their  products and marketing approach or&#8230;..GO OUT OF BUSINESS!</p>
<p>So as my former MLM body was laying on the gurney and I could here the doctors fervishly trying to do everything they could to save me I realized at that moment that me and only me had the power to bring myself back. I knew there would be rehabilitation involved but dammit life is good and I&#8217;m not ready to give up YET! So there I was standing at the door my choice simple enter the after-life or turn around and finish what I started.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go back about 8 months ago, I gathered some of my team that also had fought off near death and decided to figure out what was working and how to incorporate it in today&#8217;s Internet savvy world. Frankly the old techniques weren&#8217;t working anymore and I wasn&#8217;t really fond of them anyway. I mean really who wants to give meetings hotel, home etc. anymore anyway. I was looking to free up my life and time not get another full time job, because I already had that..thank you.</p>
<p>So what did we do?</p>
<p>We read and networked with every leader we could find, read their books listened to audios joined clubs you name it we did it sometimes up to 12 hours a day to find out what was really really really working out there. Because the truth is that although the people that we were mentored by both personally and buy buying their courses we found out they were selling us yesterday&#8217;s VCR&#8217;s and they all had the Blue Ray Players, now understand that in no way shape or form did I feel that we got ripped off in fact quit the contrary. See everybody starts from somewhere and for us somewhere was learning the foundation in which to build from, and sorry to say it folks but there is just no easy way to get overnight results.</p>
<p>People often ask me advice on becoming a professional actor and if they should &#8220;Give It A Shot&#8221; I love hearing this one. You know the story they are good looking or funny or won Ms. Teen USA or whatever their story is. Often times people get discoverd in a Subway eating a freakin sandwich and never even wanted to be and actor. Just so you know that make us veteran&#8217;s CRINGE&#8230;but oh well that&#8217;s life right. So back to the advice I give them. I say well &#8220;John or Susie&#8221; let me put it to you this way. 1% of the Screen Actors Guild makes more that $7.000.00 dollars a year and first put every movie star you can think of on that list and then think of every T.V. show on the air and that&#8217;s what the 1% percent looks like. Now if you can handle a life of not knowing where your next dollar comes from constant rejection, or if you&#8217;ll ever even get one job and pretty much have to work odd jobs along the way, maybe spend your 20&#8242;s &amp; 30&#8242;s building your career that is as delicate as  a house of cards &amp; could fall apart with a mere shift in the wind&#8230;..and none of that scares you then you are like me and I would say give it your all.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m saying is my MLM life wasn&#8217;t any diffrent than that. You have to make a decesion to be successful then take &#8220;MASSIVE ACTION&#8221; to make it happen. Anything short of that will deliver mediocer results at best. Surround yourself with successful people change your habbits DEMAND SUCESS at any cost. If you do this and are serious about haveing a life of freedom then my team and I look forward to giving you our step by step plan for &#8220;MASSIVE SUCCESS&#8221;.</p>

<p>No&#8230;This isn&#8217;t a pitch for a Biz Opp or Marketing System.  It&#8217;s just  a generic overview of what&#8217;s out there for the average person wanting  to start a business, but no idea on what is available.</p>
<p>You basically have 4 major business models that MOST people can do.   What I&#8217;m going to do is break them down and give some advantages and  disadvantages.</p>
<h4>Traditional Brick and Mortar Business</h4>
<p>The bread and butter of the American Entrepreneur!  This is the most  popular business model of past generations and is still wildly popular  today.  Virtually anyone with an idea and some ambition can hang their  shingle out, so to speak, and be in business.  From a car lot to a  restaurant to a toy store, this is what created the most economic growth  in the US and many other countries.</p>
<p>Advantages:</p>
<p>You have  total control over your business, you can set your own hours (But if  you&#8217;re not open, you&#8217;re not making money!), you may not need employees,  you can sell your own products or other people&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Disadvantages:</p>
<p>You  will probably need to purchase land and a building, lots of potential  overhead, no established business or marketing plan, you will probably  have to work long hours.</p>
<h4>Online Traditional Business</h4>
<p>You can take your brick and mortar business and move it on the  Internet, or you can establish an Internet only business.  This option  is becoming much more prevalent as we all know.  And each year, there  are more opportunities to build a business online.  Say for example you  like making candles.  You can build a website and start selling your  candles around the world.</p>
<p>Advantages</p>
<p>Like a traditional  brick and mortar business, you have total control over your business.   In this case though, you really can set your own hours because by using  the automation provided by the web, your products can be selling while  you are asleep.  And unless you manufacture something, you may not even  need employees.</p>
<p>Disadvantages</p>
<p>You still need a product or  service that you either have to make or buy from someone else, and you  will have to come up with your own business and marketing plan.  You  create some leverage by being able to be open 24 hours a day, but you  will have to process orders, ship them and restock your merchandise.</p>
<h4>Franchising</h4>
<p>This offers some great advantages and is becoming a very popular form  of business ownership.  It allows you to leverage the your sales and  marketing efforts from an established brand, and you will have a  customized business plan that is already proven to work.  In return for  this, you will have very significant upfront costs.</p>
<p>Advantages</p>
<p>Slightly  less control over your business as your franchise license requires you  to run your business a certain way.  An established, proven business and  marketing plan.  You will be able to leverage some of your personal  time because you will now have managers in your business.  And you have  the ability to purchase more franchises if you&#8217;re successful</p>
<p>Disadvantages</p>
<p>Upfront  costs for many successful franchises will be in the millions of  dollars, lots of employee costs such as unemployment, workers  compensation, and heath care.  You will have a large investment in a  location where the local demand could change over time.  High monthly  overhead costs.  And it may be difficult to sell the business.</p>
<p>Now,  before we move on to the last business model, let&#8217;s talk about this  thing called leverage.  Leverage has a lot of different meanings, but  lets take it in the context of your personal time and money.</p>
<p>Why  does a person who owns a store hire a sales manager and a sales force?   Why don&#8217;t they just do all the selling themselves and save the salary  and commission?  Because by hiring a sales force, they are able to  duplicate their efforts and create simultaneous sales.  Like creating a  bunch of clones, when trained properly and ethically, to grow the  enterprise.  This is leverage.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s take a brief moment and  think about how we could create the best form of business out of all  the advantages and none of the disadvantages of the previous 3.  Here&#8217;s  the list of advantages summarized.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set my own hours</li>
<li>Have an established business and marketing plan</li>
<li>Only have employees if I wanted them, but I wouldn&#8217;t need them</li>
<li>Business would run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with or without  me</li>
<li>You could run the business globally using a laptop computer &amp;  an Internet connection</li>
<li>Could have as many franchises as you want for very low cost</li>
<li>Sell other people&#8217;s products or your own</li>
<li>Recruit and train the sales team you want using your ideal hiring  criteria</li>
</ul>
<p>10 years ago, this ideal business didn&#8217;t exist.  But thanks to a  little invention called The Internet, it exists and is creating success  for people each and every day.  This business model is called</p>
<p>Online  Network Marketing</p>
<p>Now, you probably have the perception that  network marketing involves going door to door selling toothpaste or  bugging all your friends to do something they don&#8217;t want to do.</p>
<p>WRONG!<br />
<break><br />
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pGMUspZyNuo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pGMUspZyNuo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<break></p>
<p>Honestly,  if you had a BMW dealership, would you hire some of your friends to be  your top sales rep?  I know I wouldn&#8217;t!  The internet has allowed us to  segment and market to groups like never before.  We can now find  customers who are looking for our product, and we can recruit people  from all over the world who are the ideal fit for our team.  No  different than if you were hiring salespeople for your business.</p>
<p>This  ain&#8217;t your Granddaddy&#8217;s MLM opportunity.</p>
<p>The bottom line is  this.  Any of the business models we have talked about today are viable  options for you as a budding entrepreneur.  But if you want to realize  true leverage, Internet Network Marketing may be the best fit.  It is  cheaper to start than a brick &amp; mortar or franchise business, it  will have an established business &amp; marketing plan, and you will  have the mentorship benefits like franchising as you will be working on a  team with successful people interested in your success.</p>
<p><!--StartFragment-->Don’t Make Network Marketing Any More Complicated Than It Is.</p>
<p>By  using the power of the internet, you can market to the entire world  with your product or service, you can build a sales team that reaches  across all hemispheres, and you can create a customer base in any  country you choose.</p>
<p>You can leverage your efforts and your time  by finding like minded people to join you in your quest.  No matter  what some out there may say, Networking in the 21st Century isn’t your  Granddaddy’s MLM.</p>

<p>Okay, so lets walk through the life of the average beginning network  marketer.  I think it goes something like this…Bill goes to a home  meeting with 9 other people, he was hesitant to go, but his buddy Jim  talked him into it as a favor.  After the presentation, 7 of the people  leave and 3 stay behind with questions.  Bill is one of the people that  stays, and you can see on his face “he gets it”.  Bill’s head rotated  about 3 times when he saw the power of the business plan and what the  possibilities could be.  Great, now what?</p>
<p>So the next day, Bill calls everyone he knows and tells them about  this great product and business plan he saw last night, how he is going  to change the world and live on a beach for the rest of his life.  I  love Bill’s enthusiasm, but much like a sprint racer, Bill is going to  be good for about 100 yards, not a 20+ mile marathon.  Why?  Because  70-80% of the people that Bill talks to are going to tell him he’s  crazy, those things don’t work, etc.</p>
<p><span id="more-101"></span></p>
<p>Bill is not only using the wrong method to approach them, he’s  wasting his time talking to the wrong people.  The sad part is, from a  human psychology stand point, Bill and many like him will mentally quit  this business before they ever get started simply because they believe  what their prospects tell them.  Humans are no different than animals in  that we have a pack mentality.  If the pack tells Bill he can’t be  successful, most Bills will believe this.  More importantly, Bill’s  sponsor and leadership line set him up for failure.  This story has  played out so many times that it has given our industry a bad name.</p>
<p>So what’s the answer?  Bill was never taught that he needs to spend  his time talking to people who want to hear his message.  There is  nothing wrong with Bill contacting his warm market, but he needs to have  a system to <a href="http://www.derkcheetwoodgloballeads.com" target="_blank">pre-qualify</a> those people so that he doesn’t face the rejection he hasn’t learned to  deal with this early in his career as a networker.  Once they are <a href="http://www.derkcheetwoodgloballeads.com" target="_blank">pre-qualified</a>,  Bill can efficiently spend his time with all willing participants  instead of having to do the qualifying himself.  Bill’s confidence will  grow as he sees immediate success in his business and he will rapidly  assume the position of leader.</p>
<p>Even better, Bill can now duplicate this proven success formula to  everyone on his emerging team, because unlike traditional methods that  require a lot of face to face prospecting and selling, the new marketing  model requires nothing more than a computer connected to the internet  and a cell phone!</p>
<p>Does such a program exist?  Absolutely!  This is what our team has<a href="http://www.derkcheetwoodgloballeads.com" target="_blank"> implemented successfully and duplicated globally</a>.  One more reason  to get on board with The Dream Team!</p>

<p>Over the years that I have been involved in this industry, I have been asked many times why in the world I would get involved in what many uninformed people call a “pyramid scam”. </p>
<p>Early in my networking career, I feared that question, because I think I hadn’t completely overcome my belief that it wasn’t. </p>
<p>I finally had an epiphany one day and realized that not only is networking the most efficient business model in existence, it is the most level playing field out there where anyone who wants can be a winner.</p>
<p>Like most people, I have worked hard my whole life. </p>
<p> I have been very blessed to have held some excellent  jobs.</p>
<p>I do this because I truly love what I do, and it offers flexibility for me to run my business full time and lead my team with my partners. </p>
<p>But lets face it, corporate America is the largest pyramid scam of all.  I work for a company that has tens of thousands of employees all over the world.  Even though I am fairly highly educated by today’s standards, my chances of becoming CEO, let alone a VP are about slim to none.  More importantly, I would have very little control over that happening.</p>
<p> Networking, done correctly, offers the opportunities that existed for the average person before WalMart and other super conglomerates came into existence.  Back to the days of old where a person could hang out a shingle and be in business.  There was a simple efficiency to it. </p>
<p> In every small town there was a general store, a blacksmith, a lawyer, a doctor, and of course a tavern, just to name a few.  As a small business owner, I competed with other small business owners and it was a level playing field. </p>
<p><span id="more-91"></span></p>
<p> But like anything else in life, the rules change.  Traditional methods no longer work as efficiently as they used to.  Does that mean that network marketing is no longer a viable option? </p>
<p>Absolutely not!  In fact, if you are willing to change your approach, networking has never been a better opportunity.  But let’s remember one thing, the key word in Network Marketing is Marketing! </p>
<p> You can’t have a Network until you Market properly.</p>
<p> Most networkers view themselves as product or sales reps for their individual opportunities.  Perhaps there was a time when this was appropriate.  In fact in today’s information driven society, this idea is all wrong. </p>
<p> We are inundated today with ads, sales literature, offers, etc. </p>
<p> In no time in history have we been so bombarded with information.  Your job as a networker is not to be a product salesperson, but the CEO of your own marketing firm.  You can have a product that is better than sliced bread, but without proper marketing, you are dead in the water.</p>
<p> So keep reading, keep learning, and never give up!</p>

<p>Congratulations on seeking out new and innovative ways to grow your business, it shows you are part of the 3% crowd!</p>
<p>Not too long ago I was a frustrated network marketer. Like most people, I completely believed in the concept, and saw the power of residual income and duplication. Unfortunately, there were a few problems. First, I was spending time talking to people who had absolutely no interest in the message I was trying to convey. Most people are so beaten down by society, they cannot see themselves as being successful. Simply put, many people today just accept their station in life and believe what they are told that they can’t have everything they want.</p>
<p>Now to put this a bit in perspective, it hasn’t always been this way. In the not so distant past, small business ownership and rugged entrepreneurism ruled the land in many countries. In some emerging countries today this is still the case.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many people today have accepted their fate in life and have chosen mediocrity over excellence. While the Good Samaritan in all of us would like to help these people, we can’t until they make a decision to change.</p>
<p><span id="more-62"></span></p>
<p>The second problem is that when I did find some 3 percenters for my business, they faced the same struggle I did in surrounding themselves with other success minded people. Leaders in networking kept telling me about all this duplication, but in my mind it was an elusive concept that possibly didn’t exist. My team only grew when I grew it, that doesn’t sound like duplication to me!</p>
<p>So we identified a couple of problems. Wasting time talking to people who don’t care what you have to say, and lack of true duplication in your organization. So why do so many new networkers fail to meet their goals? It’s not a lack of desire or enthusiasm, nor is it that networking, as a concept, won’t work.</p>
<p>The keys to seeing success in this industry today are not being taught by most of the leaders. Over the past 10 years or so, marketing has taken a fundamental and drastic turn. No different than when the automobile was invented, many people chose to continue using their horse and buggy even though the auto provided increased efficiency and convenience. Many people in our industry are simply unwilling to change because they were successful using old school methods.</p>
<p>But for those of us who want to embrace strategies that make this industry easier for the average Joe, a path now exists. So read on, renew your hope and excitement for this business model, and get the success you deserve!</p>
<p>To Your Success!</p>

<p>Is success a state of mind? What separates an average person from an extraordinary person? What makes one person excel while another seems to fail at every corner? These are question that each of us ask ourselves on a daily basis and weather you realize it or not this is the root of attraction marketing. I have to go back to a book that I&#8217;ve read a few times &#8220;Think And Grow Rich&#8221;, I take that back I downloaded it to my I-Pod and listen to it when ever I travel. My point is that long before I was a successful person, I wanted to be a successful person. And long before I ever read Napoleon Hills book I was already programing my mindset with leadership skills. Now like a big lump of play dough I had not yet sculpted my future or for that matter a plan for success. What I did understand was that I had been given the same opportunity as everyone else and if I wanted to make a better life for myself than I had to EARN it. I don&#8217;t know about you but I was never given anything in my life I had to scrap for everything I&#8217;ve ever achieved. Understand I&#8217;m not complaining in fact just the opposite, I learned early on if you want something then you have to earn it plain and simple.</p>
<p>Fast forward a few years, I moved to L.A. did everything from clean carpets to wash dishes so I understand the meaning of hard work for mediocore pay. I know most of us do by the way. Anyway 17 years later I have carved out a very successful carrer in Hollywood as a working actor if you want to know the details check out my <a href="http://derkcheetwood.com/blog/my-story" target="_blank">story </a>. So the lesson I learned was if you worked hard and stayed the course, you could have anything you wanted. Well almost anything I alway&#8217;s wished I could dunk a basketball but that just wasn&#8217;t in the cards for me but you get my point.</p>
<p>My Crazy MLM career begins</p>
<p>Now this is a chapter of my life I couldn&#8217;t have predicted would happen. One of my best friends call&#8217;s me up one day and says give me your credit card. Like any good friend I did..LOL. I had no idea he had just changed my life forever by signing me up in an MLM opportunity.  I realized very quickly that I loved this business, I was able to help people get what they wanted and the by product of that was I got everything I wanted. Completely different from what I had been doing for the last 17 years.  I needed to understand the best and most efficient way to build this business. So what did I do? I learned from the best and became a student of industry. People ask me what books I recommend for getting into show biz and I have a few that I really think are important, so I went looking for those courses in this new world and guess what I found them.</p>
<p>Now if you haven&#8217;t been a successful person in the past then guess what here&#8217;s your chance to set a new course for SUCCESS! Let me start off by recommending the bread and butter of attraction marketing <strong><a href="http://cheetrock1.magneticsponsoringonline.com">Magnetic Sponsoring</a></strong>, a course that was an absolute game changer for  my teams massive success. Of course there are many others but this is most definitely the beginning for people who want to move their business to the Internet and finally attract the type of leaders it takes to build a wildey thriving business. For those who have the fundamentals down and ask me how I&#8217;m able to generate over 50-100 leads each and everyday I tell them you need an online marketing system and the best around is <strong><a href="http://cheetrock1.mlmleadsystempro.com" target="_blank">MLSP</a>.  I do however believe you can increase your chances of success in this industry by joining a successful proven team of leaders who can mentor you and really get your business CRANKING.
