One thing about Mona Vie that I like is the fact that they only change the comp plan in favour of their distributors – it’s written in the company’s constitution.

As far as any comments about Mona Vie sliding into decline are concerned, these are clearly unfounded. The fact that in the 1st 3 months of this year (2010) they opened in over 3 more countries and are set to open in several more as the year progresses. Sounds to me like the company are in a growth period, rather than a decline.

I don’t know about Black Diamonds leaving. You’re always going to get people leave an MLM for something else. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, for some.

One thing I am always wary of is when people start criticising a company (usually their former company) and trying to muddy it’s reputation. Usually such disparaging comments cannot be backed up by hard evidence & it’s just an attempt to raise the profile of the person’s new company or biz opp. Personally, I feel that such a practice is not only unprofessional, but also loses the critic a great deal of credibility. I for one would not look at a business opportunity where the person who introduced it to me had put themselves on a path of direct frontal attack or verbal assault against my company.

But certainly as far as Mona Vie are concerned, I don’t think I’ve come across a company that cares for its distributors so much. Also the team spirit – even cross-line – is something like I’ve never seen before. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mona Vie as an opportunity to become involved with. Sure, it’s hard work in the first few months, but it gets easier with time. No one has ever said it’s easy (not to me, anyway) and only those who are willing to break through the initial pain barrier (like with anything in life) are worth the rewards @ the other end.

Next, Jenny Sack. Again, when you have a several million dollar check staring you in the face, I think it would be hard for anyone to turn down, no matter how much they like their company!

Neither of these distributors were the faces of MonaVie and any Black Diamond of real significance has turned down those big checks.

As far as MonaVie’s growth, obviously it’s got to slow down at some point, every company does. And let’s not forget that last year was one of the worst years for our economy in history! And for most MLMs, their biggest growth years come after year 10. MonaVie is 5 years old. It’s the old “S” curve. So let’s not lead people to believe that this is some permanent “slide”.

As for the compensation plan, the only changes MonaVie has EVER made have been to the benefit of the distributor. They just added a 9th way to get paid and some other incentive programs running over the next several months.

Thanks for this information.

As this decline seems imminent is there anything that Monavie can do, should do, will do to stop the binary creep?
