Personally, I never expect that this simple program had keep me pondering. Will this be just like another e-Commerce? Only time will tell.
Why? Because History will repeat itself!
The principle of Network Marketing is the vehicle by which any great product or service can be moved.
1st — Tupperware Corporation.
Tupperware was developed and founded, in 1938 by Earl Tupper. In 1946 they introduced Tupper Plastics to hardware and department stores. These were mom and pop organizations since there weren’t any major retail stores like we have today. Tupperware was not accepted at first, because societies’ thinking was not along the lines of sealing food in a plastic container. Retail sales from these stores lagged. So, in 1951, Mr. Tupper pulled all of his products from the stores and launched a network marketing campaign. By the 1970’s Tupperware was a household name throughout America. Today, somewhere in the world, there is a Tupperware demonstration every two seconds! Sales now exceed $1.2 Billion annually!
2nd — Shaklee.
Shaklee was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee along with his sons. Their products were nutritional supplements. The thinking of society at this time, and in the medical industry, was not on nutritional supplements. Only after WWII did the think of the medical community begin to change from curing diseases to maintaining proper health to prevent diseases. This helped fuel the growth for Shaklee. But Shaklee never took off until the 1970’s when they saw explosive growth, using the vehicle of Network Marketing.
There are a couple of items that I’d like to discuss about these companies before I talk about the third one.
Both companies were developed in a time in America when neither of these products were heard of or needed by society. So for approximately 20 years they had to educate people that they needed these products. When society accepted what they had to offer, these companies exploded in sales. Notice how long it took for these companies to get where they were going. 86% of the American people do not like change; they had to be educated to see that they needed these products. This takes stamina, money and even patience.
3rd – Xooma Worldwide.
This company is different from the other two because of the products and the thinking of society at the time of its formation.
Xooma was started by Ron Howell in 2005 with 15 years infrastructure and became one of the largest wellness company in America, in just 3 years! A Multi billion dollar giant in just 3 years! Do you see the difference in these three companies?
The key difference is the education of a society about a product. The first two had to educate society about their products while the third just rode the wave!
Most importantly, the vehicle for growth, Network Marketing! By turning on the people power through network marketing, along with all the other elements involved, we will make a fast and significant impact in the business world.
