Monavie - MLM Review of the Invite Taste and Share System - Is it Flawed?

Monavie is one of the fastest growing companies in network marketing especially in the health and wellness acai berry industry. What they claim to be their key success to incredibly fast growth is attributed to the Invite Taste And Share System of marketing Monavie juice products. I had the opportunity to speak to many Monavie distributors and have received tremendous differences in opinion regarding their system of signing up distributors and customers. The ones who are struggling with that system are not what you would call influential people with a large sphere of influence.How Does Invite Taste And Share System Work?Very simply. If you are a Monavie distributor, you are instructed to invite all your friends and colleagues to your home for a so-called party. Obviously there is a hidden agenda. And when your friends do come, you start the party by pouring out glasses of the Monavie juice and pass it out to everyone to sample. The whole purpose of this strategy is to expose people to the product to peak their interest to get them interested in finding out more.And for those who are interested, you simply hand them either a CD or brochure that tells them more about Monavie and how they can reap the health benefits of the product. There is a DVD that explains the business opportunity to them.What Major Problems Did Struggling Monavie Distributors Face With This System?The problem was presenting the business opportunity immediately to their friends right away once they have drank samples of the juice. A lot of them have told me how their friends and colleagues were really turned off by their presentation and were upset at how they were suckered into some sales pitch about some juice associated with a business opportunity.How Did These Monavie Distributors Resolve Their Problem?After making the mistake of pitching the business opportunity, they vowed that next time they would only invite their friends to try out the product first without mentioning anything at all about the business opportunity. This sounds more professional. Pitching both the product followed by the business opportunity sounds really tacky and it rubs people the wrong way.Just think about it. How you would like to be told by a friend to come to his or her party only to find out that he or she is trying to get you to sample some juice product so you can buy into his MLM opportunity. Does that sound shady to you?The Right Way To Do Invite Taste And Share That WorksYou just tell your friends or colleagues that you just started a business marketing an exotic fruit beverage that can help them feel good and look younger. And you are looking for testimonials and need them to help you by trying out the Monavie juice products. Most people would be happy to support their friend's business by trying the products so they can offer a testimonial if the product really delivers.Do you see the difference with this approach? You are not pitching the business opportunity to your friends. But instead, all you are asking is for your friends to do you a favor by trying out the juice and possibly offering a testimonial.If you had started a restaurant, doesn't it make sense for you to tell your friends about it and have them to come over to sample your food? They will support your business without a doubt. That is what friends are for. That is the same approach that distributors should adapt to their Monavie business.
