Are you a rookie Vancouver direct seller? Are you successfully building your network in Vancouver and the surrounding communities?

I am a veteran Delta entrepreneur-network marketer with a booming Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage residual income business. I have been building my network and mentoring new network marketers since March 2008.

I have noticed that some of my fellow Vancouver direct sellers concentrate their network-building efforts solely on our local market. While there is growth potential here in BC, why limit your vision?

Did you know that China is an emerging market for BC network marketing companies? From 2008 to 2009, direct sales revenue in China increased by almost 3 billion dollars. www.directsellingnews.com

Recruiting in China does have its challenges, but some Vancouver network marketing companies have learned how to navigate the regulations and tap the market in a country that has over 1.4 billion people. (That’s billion with a ‘b’.) The United States has a population of roughly 310 million. According to direct selling industry sources, there are approximately 15 million people in the US that operate network marketing businesses. Clearly, you can add streams of residual income by recruiting network marketers in China.

If you are new to the world of direct selling, and would like information about starting your own Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage internet business, I would love to talk to you. Contact me today to join one of the fastest growing industries in Vancouver and around the world.

If you are a Delta home based business owner, you have a story. Perhaps you don’t think your story is very interesting, but I bet others would. Especially other Delta folks who would like to own their own Delta Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage Direct Sales or internet business.

Your personal story can be used as a case study in your marketing materials. Think of the memorable personal stories that could be drawn from the lives of these famous entrepreneurs:

Walt Disney (Started an empire with a vision and a small loan.)
Martha Stewart (Made DIY home decorating chic and rebounded after legal troubles.)
Warren Buffet (Where do I start?)

In addition to using experiences from your own life as a direct marketer in Delta, you can use stories about how your products, services, or financial opportunity has affected one of your customers or team members.

If no interesting stories immediately come to mind, don’t dismiss this effective marketing tool. Just keep it in mind as you go about your business in the next few weeks.

As you interact with your home business customers and people in your Delta network, something might pique your interest. Jot it down for future development.

If you observe your business interactions from a storyteller’s perspective, the marketing possibilities will jump out at you.

How has my experience as a Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage network marketer in Delta dramatically improved my life? Email me today and I’ll tell you all about it. -Phil

Your Delta home business customers shop with their smartphone: is your business iPhone-friendly? Many Delta network marketers are still trying to bring their businesses into the digital age by opening e-stores that cater to internet shoppers who shop from their Vancouver home.

As usually happens, however, BC customers are way ahead of Vancouver entrepreneurs who operate network marketing businesses.

Vancouver internet shoppers are not only buying from their home, they are researching products and comparing prices on the fly with their iPhones, Androids and BlackBerry Curves.

This is good news for Delta network marketers because it allows us to compete even more effectively with traditional BC retail sellers.

Creative Delta direct sellers will use the same methods the big guns use to drive sales. If group bartering, limited-time text sales, and special Facebook deals work for national retailers, why can’t Vancouver network marketers use them to sell products and recruit team members?

Perhaps the next cool mobile selling strategy will come from the BC network marketing community.

I am currently building my XoBiotic Squares network with a variety of methods: old school and cutting edge. If you need a mentor for your Delta XoBiotic Squares home based business, I would love to help you succeed.

Call me today at 604.943.8598 to get started. I will make sure you avoid the common mistakes new Delta direct sellers often make. Don’t waste your time with trial and error, use my proven methods for Vancouver home business success.

Welcome to the Xocai chocolate blog! I am entrpreneur and investor in human spirit Phil Hoskins. My Xocai team is growing steadily as the healthy chocolate revolution gains steam in the Vancouver area.

I started sharing Xocai antioxidant chocolate in March 2008. Since then, my mental and physical health has improved along with my income. You can read more about me at http://philhoskins.com/more-about-xocai.

Why is my weight-loss chocolate business growing? It’s simple – health and prosperity. Richmond and Surrey people are beginning to realize that they cannot eliminate chocolate from their diet. The chocolate lovers I speak with are passionate about their love affair with chocolate. As Xocai founder Jeanette Brooks often explains, “When you are depressed, you want chocolate, when you are happy, you want chocolate . . .”

Clearly, chocolate is very important to most Langley people. However, people who have been eating unhealthy chocolate regularly for years are worried about the saturated fats and refined sugar in conventional chocolate. When these people learn about Xocai healthy chocolate, they realize that it is THE ANSWER. Xocai chocolate fills two essential needs – a commitment to a healthier diet and ultimate chocolate satisfaction. For many Vancouver chocoholics, this is enough.

However, some of the Surrey people who attend my Delta healthy dark chocolate meetings join Xocai and start their own direct marketing business.

It’s easy to understand why Xocai is thriving. Healthy chocolate is ‘recession-proof’. (Remember, Xocai created the healthy chocolate category.) When the economy tanks, Richmond people give up cable TV, vacations, eating out and new clothes. But they don’t give up chocolate. A daily chocolate escape helps Delta people get through hard times.

If you would like to learn more about the Xocai opportunity, call me today at 604.943.8598.

Remember when you bypassed your Surrey travel agent and booked your first airline reservation online? How about ordering your first book from Amazon? Did you enter your credit card number with trepidation? Did you wonder if your purchase would actually arrive at your Surrey home?

Now, most of us in Surrey shop online without worrying about security or shipping times. Well, we might worry, but not enough to actually drive to a Surrey store to make the purchase.

Since online shopping has become a way of life for thousands of people in BC and millions around the world, does that mean that e-commerce is no longer a burgeoning industry? Statistics reveal a resounding ‘No!’

There is plenty of room for growth in online channels and among all customer demographic groups. In fact, some experts call online marketing the New Industrial Revolution.

Surrey entrepreneurs planning to launch an online store should feel confident. Consider the following:

1) Untapped Industries
There is room for growth in all industries (even traditionally strong ones) including weight loss products, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, home decor, and clothing. Even the most commonly purchased online products have not even come close to saturation level.

2) Developing Markets
As more people in developing countries gain access to a computer, online retailers expand their potential customer base; especially the retailers who carry products not available to these new online shoppers in their local brick-and-mortar stores.

China, Brazil, Vietnam and Egypt are currently hot markets for online retailers. Check it out at www.marketingcharts.com

3) Over-70 Shoppers
The age group that didn’t grow up online is quickly becoming computer savvy and are e-shopping in greater numbers every year. Smart Surrey online sellers will cater to the Greatest Generation.

If you are ready to profit on the online marketplace, I invite you to join my Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage sales team. I can show you how to set up your online shop. Contact me at 604.943.8598 today to start building online residual income.

If you are researching network marketing companies to join in Vancouver, how can you identify a legitimate MLM? Can you trust Delta MLM watchdog sites that assure you that they are fair and impartial? The Richmond MLM watchdog sites I have encountered refuse to print contact information with their MLM reviews. What are they hiding?

If you are like me, I want to know the real people behind any Vancouver home business opportunity I am considering.

Jeanette L. Brooks and Andrew N. Brooks are the founders of MXI corporation, the makers of Xocai antioxidant chocolate. You can read about them at http://www.mxicorp.com/founders/. Here is what they have to say to people like you who are considering becoming a healthy chocolate distributor in Richmond, Surrey, or Langley:

“We’re honored that you are interested in joining our Xocai Healthy Chocolate Family in the Vancouver area.

We are anxious for you to experience for yourself the benefits of our industry-leading products. Each product has been formulated to provide you with a significant amount of antioxidants from our exclusive blend of cold-pressed cacao and freeze-dried acai berries without the refined sugars and unhealthy fats, fillers and preservatives found in most other chocolates.

We hope that you decide to join our Healthy Chocolate Family.

By doing so, you will be able to experience better health and increased wealth as you pursue your goals and dreams with the Xocai products and the Healthy Chocolate business opportunity.”

Jeanette Brooks has nothing to hide. She stands proudly as the face of MXI corporation. MXI’s sales record speaks for itself. MXI’s products are scientifically sound. The Xocai residual income opportunity in Delta is legitimate.

What you see is what you get. And with Xocai–you can get it all!

I am also a proud member of the Delta Xocai healthy chocolate family. If you want more information about Xocai antioxidant chocolate, let’s meet for a face-to-face discussion.

I can be reached at 604.943.8598.

MLM, or multilevel marketing, is a business structure that works on a multi-tiered level.  Income is earned when you sell products, but also as you sponsor other sellers to work as part of your team.  This is called the downline.  Money is earned from the downline when those individuals sell products and also recruit additional people in to the business.  The compensation plan grows exponentially and the most successful MLM business owners make money from the work that their downline does.

There are a number of MLM business opportunities and the various types of products to be sold are limitless.  In the MLM business, selling product is the first source of income.  Sales representatives sell their product and earn a set commission on what they sell.  Usually, there is little to no overhead as the parent company handles all of the inventory and product delivery to the customer.  For that reason, there usually isn’t a need to buy and store large amounts of inventory.

The key to a successful MLM business is duplicating efforts.  Although revenue can be earned selling products, recruiting others in to the company and training them to sell product is where the business and compensation grows.  For instance, if a sales representative has 20 customers, he can earn revenue from those 20 customers, however, if he recruits another MLM representative and trains that person to get 20 customers, he now can earn a percentage from 40 customers, not just 20.  The growth of MLM comes in training recruits to be successful in doing the same.  Thus, the downline builds and revenue builds with it. 

MLM compensation can vary from company to company, but essentially, that process of selling to customers and building the downline is consistent across all MLM business models.   The sales representative will normally be paid a larger percentage or commission on the direct sales of products to his customers.   Some MLM companies pay additional revenue when a new recruit is brought in to the business, or sponsored.  Newly recruited members will be trained so that they can learn strategies to be successful in selling products.  Some MLM companies pay individuals when they train new recruits.  Compensation continues to grow as the downline continues to expand and there are usually bonuses or additional percentages paid at predetermined levels.  For instance, a company might increase the product sales commission percentage.  Building leadership is important in any MLM company.   Successful leaders will continue to help the MLM business grow.

The commission structure can be quite complex in MLM’s.  If a company paid out too much in commissions, it would quickly go out of business.  MLM’s , however, are structured so that reaching specific compensation levels is difficult, but attainable by those that wish to work hard to achieve leadership levels.  With MLM’s, it’s not necessary to reach the upper levels of leadership.  There is money to be made just from selling a product that the representative is passionate about.  The income that can be earned can be substantial.  In an MLM, compensation is rewarded by effort.  That old adage “do nothing, get nothing” applies to any business.  But depending on the effort that is put forth, MLM’s can be quite lucrative.

MLM, or multilevel marketing, and network marketing are essentially the same thing.  In the MLM business model, income and compensation are multi-tiered, based on earning not only from the products that you sell, but also by recruiting additional sellers and earning income from their sales as well.  Network marketing businesses do not necessarily have to be multi-tiered and that is the primary difference.  Many MLM or networking marketing business opportunities work well as home based businesses.  Individuals operate their MLM business from their home.

Often MLM is compared to a pyramid scheme.  A pyramid scheme is illegal and although the MLM compensation plan often resembles the shape of a pyramid as it is multi-tiered, MLM is completely legal.  You can earn money by selling products directly to your customers and you also earn income by recruiting other individuals into the business beneath you.  The individuals that you recruit and the ones they recruit are often called the “downline.” You can earn additional income from the products that your downline sells to their customers as well as from individuals that they recruit.  For this reason, MLM has the potential for exponential growth.  The most successful multilevel marketers are making money from the work that others do.  Income increases as the downline that is recruited and working successfully continues to build. The key to successful MLM is to establish a strong downline.  You will need to continue to recruit and train new people under you and help them become successful.  With the growth of your downline, you will see your income grow.

Network marketing doesn’t necessarily need to be multileveled, however, the network marketing concept is used in MLM.  Networking simply means building relationships.  By using your established relationships and developing new ones, the number of people that you can share your MLM business opportunity with is massive.  Imagine the number of people that you know and the ones that you don’t know that are just a click away on the internet.  It used to be that your network of possible recruits was limited to friends and family, however, with the internet and social media, your network is practically infinite.  Finding individuals that are looking for MLM business opportunities is just a click away on Facebook or Twitter and selling your product via markets such as Ebay or Craigslist can grow your business to a global level. 

Many successful MLM business owners began small and started part time from home while still working in their existing job.  Operating a home based business opens the doors for greater flexibility not only in your career but in your personal life as well.  Many people start an MLM business with the goal of just earning a little extra cash while others strive to earn enough to quit their 9-5 job.  There are many successful MLM business owners that make excellent incomes.  With the right product and a passion for that product along with recruiting and training others to become successful, a simple home based MLM company can grow into an excellent income opportunity.
