Update: This is now official and in my opinion, looks to be a good merger for both companies. I am also posting a video below from Troy Dooley of MLM Help Desk that sheds some light on the merger.
Original post:
I haven’t seen anything official on this yet, but a couple of reports have surfaced that Xowii has merged with Trey White’s Evolv.
From the outside it looks like a nice merger. Xowii has a broader product line and Evolv may have more financial resources.
My guess is that Xowii may have been on the verge of closing it’s doors, but saw value in the people and found an amicable solution….just a guess.
Interesting to contrast that with EIRO’s Chris Hausman who cut off communication with field leaders, closed the doors, posted a letter on the web site and did not pay the associates for work they did in December, leaving the field leaders to scramble to find a solution.
Great article. It is true.
The official announcement and press release should be coming out later today. Think it’s a huge “win, win” for both companies.
The release just came out. It’s official.
Is this a good sign for Xowii and Evolv? Should people join companies that are already established ie Shaklee or roll the dice on a new company?
From your experience with Eiro closing down. what do you think Ty?
I think this is an excellent situation for Evolv and Xowii.
My experience with Eiro (start-up) , Max International (start-up) and Univera (even though they have been around a while, they are managed like a start up), led me to pursue more solid ground for our team. We took a serious look at 60 companies, spoke with a dozen + company founders/ceo’s and met face to face with a number of great options but felt Shaklee was the right place for us.
My friend, Garett McGrath is doing very well with Evolv so I certainly can’t speak for everyone when it comes to start ups vs. established companies.
A company can have momentum but a team within a company can also have momentum. I’m not sure the folks involved in Shaklee today completely understand what they have their hands on yet. = )
