Why Should Nu Skin be not seen as a Scam

As mentioned throughout this blog, Nu Skin is a publicly traded company in the New York Stock Exchange. In order for any company to be publicly traded, it must have passed innumerable accountability standards.

Nu Skin has a 27-year track record without any findings of illegal or unethical practices.

It continues to span the globe, increasing their markets across continents, and steadily increasing the number of their distributors.

Bottom line…

There is NO Nu Skin Scam. Other than those attacking the MLM industry as a whole, the other people proclaiming a Nu Skin scam are those who joined the business but have failed in the business. It is said to be true that 95-97% of the people who joined an MLM home-based business will fail. But the only reason people fail in this industry is because they lack marketing skills and they give up on the business entirely.

If you’re thinking about joining Nu Skin, you must realize that although it’s not a scam, there’s a probability that you may fail just like the others who cry out and blame the “Nu Skin Scam”.

Your success in Nu Skin will be determined by your ability to brand yourself, generate leads and prospects for your business on a consistent basis, and market your business effectively through one-to-one personal contact.

If you’re serious about being successful in Nu Skin or any MLM home-based business, then it’s vital for you to get the knowledge and skills that allow you to personally sponsor 5-10 reps a month, so that you don’t have to go around screaming “Nu Skin Scam”.

Why NuSkin is accused as a Scam?

Well, let’s see. Nu Skin was founded in 1984, operates in three continents in over 50 markets and currently has nearly 800,000 distributors.

Not only that, it is a publicly traded company in the New York Stock Exchange. In order to accomplish that, do realize that this company has passed more scrutiny, and checks and balances compared to when you walk through the body scanner at the airport. So to say it clearly, there is no Nu Skin scam, gimmick, fraud, pyramid or whatever else you may hear.

So who’s saying that it is?

Let’s talk about what this company is before we go into the scam allegations. Nu Skin was found by a brother and sister team, Blake & Nedra Roney. They have an extensive product line consisting of personal care products, with an emphasis on skin care.

One of their hot ticket items is the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa, which is touted as being cheaper than a professional facial. Now it sounds like a complicated contraption but it has revolutionized the beauty industry and many women rave about it.

Network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) has been the target of many for decades. Indeed many MLM companies fail because of low-quality, overpriced products, and lackluster management. As a result, the entire business model of MLM gets blamed and is often called a scam.

What you should know is that the scam allegation has already been discredited decades ago by numerous courts of other countries, even the U.S.A.. The business model of MLM is NOT a scam.

It simply means that people are paid for selling the company’s products while also earning commissions/bonuses from the sales generated by anyone they introduced to the company. So it creates a downline or levels of various compensation. Hence the term muli-level marketing.

It’s no different than when you had a great meal at a restaurant, told your friends of how excellent the food and service was, and because of your recommendation, your friends go eat at that same restaurant. Of course, the restaurant won’t pay you because they made money from your recommendation. But in MLM, the company will. Clearly, there is no reason to call the MLM system a scam, the same way as franchising was perceived to be a scam decades ago.

Nu Skin Capitalizes in Anti-aging

Nu Skin is a highly misunderstood business here in the Philippines. Just the notion of "networking" or MLM immediately turn people off without knowing what the business truly aims for, or perhaps, what opportunity they really share to those who are willing to give it a try.

The Nu Skin business primarily capitalizes in aging, and exactly what does aging mean to you? To some, aging may mean a decline in productivity. It may also mean leisure and an enjoyable retirement life to others, or for youngsters, something far beyond their imagination. In any case, aging – at least chronicle aging – is not reversible, and most of us don’t want to lose the youthful skin and healthy body along in the process. So, what does aging mean to me? It is fundamentally a Business Opportunity.

Nu Skin is an anti-aging business and time is on your side. Imagine that you are the owner of the only highway into the city. Each and every car that enters the city must pay you a fee. Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit there and collect money when that is the only route? That is what the anti-aging business means because time is irreversible and it leads people into an aging process whether we like it or not. The market is driving itself onto you, instead of you finding it, developing it, and digging into it. In this case, time is on your side.

And when it comes to a business plan, Nu Skin offers the highest commission pay out amongst all listed network marketing companies. You have the maximum leverage power.

Just what does Nu Skin mean by "Opportunity"?

Maybe you are checking out Nu Skin to see if this company is right for you. Well, I would hold off joining before you read the information in this blog because not only am I going to go over information about Nu Skin, I am also going to explain what it takes to increase your chances of succeeding with this company.

If you are considering becoming a Nu Skin distributor, there are several ways that you can earn commissions in the compensation plan, including upfront retail commissions and long-term residual income. As for the leaders at the top positions, there are bonuses you can earn based on the entire company’s incoming revenue.

Having said all that, Nu Skin’s compensation plan is very sound and for the right person, it can be a very lucrative business venture.

In summary, Nu Skin is a very credible company with the opportunity for the right people to have a very lucrative business: they have a good management team, quality products, and a generous compensation plan. Having all of that alone should ensure your success right? No. While Nu Skin is providing a great business model and the chance to create financial freedom, success will depend entirely on your ability to generate leads and sponsor other people into your business.

Without leads you will have a hard time building a business. However if you combine an effective attraction marketing system with the Nu Skin business model, you can most definitely be on your way to building a largely successful business.

I wrote this Nu Skin review for the people looking into the company further for the facts. Sadly, most cynic people don't.

Nu Skin Philippines is about Leadership

Nu Skin enforces leadership both to its corporate structure and its distributors locally and globally. Regardless of what negative attacks are thrown at the company's distributors, Nu Skin management makes sure that the business is always done the right way. And just what these distributors are taught and encouraged to do? They network, discuss business building strategies, collaborate, communicate, and develop personal relationships based on a common interest, success in Nu Skin business as their own.

In this global industry, distributors are surely driven (like in any business) to meet a lot of people. Being an effective leader is a function of whether our values, our intentions, and our actions merit the trust of others. While knowing (a function of competency) and doing (a function of execution) are important, the latter of the two traits is irrelevant if it is performed on a platform void of character. And the real magic happens when a company finds itself in a position to benefit from the value of all three characteristics: values-based leadership combined with high levels of competency, and excellence in execution for an efficient position in the marketplace. This is what distributors of Nu Skin do, and what they aim for. They are leaders who play the fluid nature of the industry in a levelled playing field, they are not out to scam, nor to deceive. They do what all good business leaders shoot for.
