Univera LifeSciences – A Simple Explanation

Posted on 08. Jan, 2006 by Ty Tribble in Uncategorized


I just unleashed 7 of my most closely guarded Internet Marketing files for the first time. Download Ty Tribble's MLM Web Secrets. It's my free gift to you for visiting.


As the author of MLM Business Opportunities Blog, I have had the chance to look at dozens of Network Marketing companies. When I look at a company, I usually focus on three areas:

1. The Product
2. The Company
3. The Compensation

Let's start with the Univera LifeSciences products and company. Simply put, Univera LifeSciences is a Biotech company with a pipeline of products that will be coming to market via the Network Marketing model. These are unique products backed by dozens of scientists, dozens of patents and the resources of Bill Lee, owner of Univera LifeSciences and the ECONET. The ECONET includes Unigen Pharmaceuticals (the R & D arm of the ECONET), Aloecorp (the worlds largest producer of Aloe Vera) and Univera LifeSciences (the Network Marketing arm of the ECONET).

You would be hard pressed to find a more experienced and successful corporate leadership team, lead by Stuart Ochiltree, former CEO of Avon. Mr. Ochiltree was at the helm of Avon as it went from a $700 Million company to a $4.5 Billion company.

The Univera LifeSciences compensation plan is the most lucrative plan in the industry. The compensation is fair and balanced, yet it pays a higher percentage in depth (leadership) bonus' that any company I have ever seen. The balance of a retail commission of 15-30%, Unilevel Compensation of 3-15%, Leadership Generational Bonuses of 5-14%, a "fast start" bonus of up to $300 and weekly production bonuses plus free product bonuses.

    I am with this company. They are by far the best I have worked with. Not only do they have a GREAT! compensation plan, but the products work. Most people get an instant, positive result from the products. I myself am only 25 years of age, and have NEVER felt better. I am also doing great financially! If you would like to learn more, email me.

    Thank you for the write up on our company, it is fantastic!

    I believe Oaisis sales in '05 were in the $50 Million range. They are currently experiencing double digit monthly growth.

    Thanks Ty. Oasis stumbled pretty badly for several ugly reasons over the past 3-4 years I won't delve into on your blog. I do applaud them for having a decent customer base over that time frame – suggesting there's at least some merit to the products. Kind of like Nutrilite – right Ty? ;-)

    This "hall of fame" management team has proven to pretty much be a huge under-achiever since they were touted so highly (most likely by themselves) from day one – time will tell if they start living up to billing.

    I still say Oasis is the antithesis of Passport – which is sad to see in so many ways. Over-hyped, pricey products, lots of focus on front-end profits due to hefty front-end package, typical complex comp. plan, lots of mlm mumbo-speak, etc.

    I was a little skeptical of the change.Now after a little over a month I am impressed by the way things are going.The products are great because so far every person that has used them are very positive.They can tell they work not me telling them they work. Since you don't have to spend a lot of time convincing people you can get more done quicker.Thanks to you and Bo for making the right decisions!

    Kent,

    You sound like you have personal knowledge about Oasis LifeSciences. When did you attend an Oasis LifeSciences meeting?

    What's that? Never? Oh I see. (correct me if I'm wrong)

    Now, we both know that Nutrilite Customer is an oxy-moron.

    I think a company that has grown to over $50 Million in roughly 6 years and is seeing double digit growth is probably pretty well run. If you would like to compare their resume's to those of Quixtar's management team, feel free. It should also be pointed out that Quixtar/Amway has not seen any real growth in the U.S. for over 10 years.

    As far as over hyped and pricey products…I'd like to know what you are referring to. As an example, Oasis LifeSciences Ageless Xtra is an anti-oxidant/joint-health/mental-focus/anti-stress product that is based on real science trials. It sells for $35 +/-. On the other hand, Passport has the best priced products in the industry, but it would take 2-3 of Passport's products (at over $40) to even come close to what's in Ageless Xtra and even then, it would not be a liquid.

    When it comes to compensation, Oasis has a pretty simple plan. 4 Levels of Unilevel compensation and generational depth bonus'.

    Hefty front end package? Really? $19.95…is that hefty for you? I don't think it is unreasonable for someone that is serious about building a large income to buy $325 worth of products and materials,(especially if the business model is centered around giving out samples and getting customers) nor do I think it unreasonable for someone that is going to sponsor at least 3 people in their first month (I know this is foreign land for Quixtar IBO's) to have 3 starter kits on hand…that would be someone who gets started at $1285.

    I personally brought in more than 3 people completely outside of Passport in my first month so the kits came in handy.

    Lastly, lets talk about front end profits. If you sell $325 worth of products to someone, you get paid $100. In Quixtar, you sell $300 worth of products and MOSTLY business support materials not produced by Quixtar, you make NOTHING, but someone in your upline is making lots. Frankly, I would rather have fair front end profits than no front end profits. It allows people a way to make a decent income in the first couple of months, as opposed to working your butt off for 10 years in Quixtar and making a check for $150.

    Kent,

    You certainly are set in your opinions and I respect that, but I have to wonder what type of success you have ever really had in Network Marketing. Perhaps you would share what company you are with and how much you made last month…

    As usual Ty – you've taken a small snippet of a post of mine – avoided the obvious open-ended questions I've noted – and run with it in the exact opposite direction of the general idea of my post – and then made a personal attack.

    I know the history of Oasis over the past several years, warts and all, better than you know or think – much, much better.

    Seems as though you've now changed your tune completely about Passport – almost as if it were now a big mistake or something. Interesting to say the least.

    And lastly, you continue to be fixated on Quixtar – who mentioned Quixtar? All I stated was Nutrilite also has a solid customer base.

    Kent,

    Again, when did you attend an Oasis Meeting?

    When did you try the product?

    As for Quixtar, it is important because Nutrilite is marketed through Quixtar and you are a Quixtar IBO. In addition, I would love to see some numbers on real customers purchasing Nutrilite at the retail price.

    I have never met anyone with a "solid" enough Nutrilite customer base that makes up for the amount of money they spend in their Quixtar business.

    Wondering whether you have ever had any success in Network Marketing is not an attack. If you feel offended, I am sorry. You have a strong opinion about many companies and so I am curious about your experience.

    I have never changed my tune about Passport. Passport was in the process of putting together some needed changes and we felt that Oasis already had those changes in place. I never said Passport was the perfect business. I mostly stated it was better than Quixtar. I stand by that statement.

    A lot of people made a little money in Passport and some made good money. Very few lost anything. If you have any knowledge of why Bo started Passport, you would see that was his goal all along.

    Now Kent, you can either put your car in reverse or engage in a spirited dialogue defending your positions.

    Ty – forgot to say this earlier –

    CONGRATS TO THE SEAHAWKS. I'm actually pulling for Seattle to get to the Super Bowl.

    I really don't have a real issue to defend Ty. The issue here with me is not Quixtar – have no interest in debating Quixtar. My issue was simply that Oasis has: had some fairly serious problems; has maintained a decent customer base; that it is the exact opposite of most of what Bo stood for with Passport; and, that Passport was shut down after a relatively short run. While I don't consider Passport a failure – I also don't buy the whole "rather than grow Passport further, we just shut it down and joined Oasis because they were synergistically aligned with EVERYTHING we stood for at Passport". I call that a BS statement – plain and simple. I said the same thing when Yarnell shut down 21st Century and joined Legacy.

    Kent,

    I always felt like we had more common ground that not so thank you for the Seahawks comment.

    You don't have to believe anything, but I have been nothing but honest in the past and I will continue to do the same in the future.

    You made a comment (more than once) that Passport needed to add some depth bonuses.
    Oasis has such bonuses.

    I have felt for a long time that Passport needed to have a more unique product and I have pushed for something in the liquid nutritional arena for some time.
    Oasis has such a product.

    Passport chose to go 100% online and over the phone. I agreed with that at first, but after a while it was obvious that some face to face is very beneficial, (not 5 nights a week but maybe once or twice a month).This is an area that we were seriously looking at with Passport, we called them meet-ups and the concept is very similar to Oasis luncheons.

    We were already in the process of adding some start up packages that would include some bonuses to the seller. Oasis has this as well.

    Oasis is a product driven company. The entire business is built around giving out sample products. Passport was a product driven company as well, but the fact that Passport products are not unique led to less repeat sales in my opinion.

    There are a handful of things that I could do without in Oasis, however the good far outweighs the bad.

    After 16 years in Amway/Quixtar all I had was 1 customer. She was on standing order and got Double x. She was buying as a member so she could get it at wholesale price. I spent thousands of dollars on brochures,catalogs,cds,vhs tapes,sample products, etc… to get customers and that's all! I am a store manager of a store doing over 4 million a year and have been in retail for over 30 years so I know how to merchandise! I had better results in Passport and look forward to really making some money in Oasis!
