The one big negative was that I saw this as a multi-level marketing company. In the United States this business model has a negative reputation in many circles. I have always stayed away from these businesses. Especially since I had family members, close friends, and former students that had horrible experiences and left the business.
I spoke to various people about their experiences. They cited pressure, fees, and false promises as reasons why they left. I then looked at Lilian, and I didn't see any of these factors. There were no fees or mandatory trainings. She was excited about what she was doing. Her team members were providing her with support, but not pressure. When they had their meetings, they would never pressure their potential customers. It was all about sharing their personal experiences. They would obviously present on the business, however, they would never place potential customers in uncomfortable situations. The customers just had to listen.
Plus, PM-International offered a money back guarantee on all of their products. They definitely stood behind their products. They were very quick to respond to questions and inquiries and were always willing to help.
The biggest factor that convinced me to join was that even though I could picture myself leaving the business, I could not picture myself not taking Fitline. Furthermore, I didn't have any pressure to sell, I could just introduce the products to people at my pace. Most of the people that take Fitline love the products and would recommend them to others, this is just a way for the company to compensate you for your recommendations. I would never push this business on anyone that doesn't love the Fitline products. However, If you try Fitline, experience results, then I would definitely recommend becoming a team partner. Imagine a company that depends on your personal results to be successful. That is PM-International, it's simple and successful.
Also, with nearly 30 years in business, PM-International is not just a new start-up. PM-International is currently listed 9th out of the top 100 MLM Companies by Direct Selling News. It also received the Bravo award for being the fastest growing company 2 years in a row. PM-International is a well established company with solid financials and a strong following around the world. It was just starting to make a dent in the American market.
I am still new, I am not trying to get rich, I am just trying to get fit. Fitline products work and my main motivation right now is to improve my physical health, my financial health is still an afterthought. This is not about getting rich quick, this is about getting fit as quick as I can. However, PM-International does offer you the ability to not only improve your health, but also make some money on the side.
Finally, I knew I had the backing of Lilian and her amazing team. I saw Lilian improving month after month both physically and financially. I got to know many of her team members, and I found them to be genuine and dynamic. Plus, I saw that she had amazing support from her knowledgeable and inspiring sponsor, Benedetta. They were all incredibly active in the business and getting their names out there on a national and international level. I knew I was not going in alone, I had a great team that I could depend on for help.
