If you are reading this post right now, chances are you were curious for more information about Nu Skin, and why people call you to go to the 15th Floor, Octagon Center. in Ortigas, Pasig.
So who and what is Nu Skin? The company was founded in 1984 by Blake Roney, Steve Lund, and Sandie Tillotson, Nu Skin is a company that sells various health and skin care products by using the network marketing business model. This company has a earned good reputation in the home-based business arena as it has a 25-year background in the industry. Not only is this company experiencing huge growth in the US and locally here in the Philippines, it is also expanding and growing in several other international countries. It’s easy to see that they have built a strong foundation over the last 26 years as well as a solid groundwork for continual growth into the next 26 years.
As far as Nu Skin’s products go, there is a great range to choose from. For one, they have a complete anti-aging line of products called AgeLOC, which was designed to minimize the signs of aging. They also have a line of skin care products that are backed by science and research, and a line of products that are designed to firm and tone your skin.
Nu Skin also has the Pharmanex product line that consists of a magnitude of nutritional products, weight loss products and supplements. If you are thinking of joining Nu Skin, I would highly recommend doing deeper research and maybe even sampling the products so you can feel good about promoting these products.

What sets Nu Skin "Different"
Truth of the matter, Nu Skin is a global brand with a global statement to make. Headquartered in Provo, Utah, this multinational firm with a will and a heart has so far extended its sales and operations to as many as 48 countries across the world. They attribute their success to one defining factor: their difference, and Nu Skin prides itself on being the only company with “The difference, demonstrated.”
Nu Skin Vice President for Distributor Success, Dan Chard states, "Nu Skin is different because we can demonstrate how we are different from the rest of the products throughout the world”. Chard further explains that the Nu Skin difference is seen in four things: its people, its products, its business opportunity, and its culture.
Nu Skin's one corporate trait is that it believes greatly in its people, which includes 8,700 employees and as many as 800,000 direct sellers throughout the world. These direct sellers are all professionals who personally market and offer various Nu Skin products in their home country and even abroad. During the first-ever Nu Skin Southeast Asia SeedPower Regional Convention held in Genting Highlands, Malaysia, the Nu Skin President for Southeast Asia Melisa Tantoco – Quijano also boldly proclaimed an ultimate goal: to Go Double by 2010. And if you think that goal only amounts to a couple hundred millions, think again. This is a small peek of how much the company boasts in legitimate values and revenue.

Nu Skin President South East Asia is awarded Best Asian Executive by International "Stevie" Awards
15th Floor Ocatgon Bldg houses Nu Skin Philippines, and just recently, Nu Skin President of the Southeast Asia Region Melisa Tantoco-Quijano was awarded Best Asian Executive by the 2010 International Stevie Awards for Women in Business. To emphasize, the particular awards recognize the accomplishments of outstanding women executives, business owners and the organizations they run. Under Melisa’s leadership, the Southeast Asian region has become a center of Nu Skin and is currently the fastest growing region for the company. This also exemplifies the Nu Skin culture through Quijano's unyielding commitment to supporting local sales leaders, as well as her long-standing dedication to the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund. Overseeing six countries, more than 300 employees and nearly 4,000 executive distributors, Quijano led Southeast Asia to a strong year in 2009, generating $109 million in revenue. In addition to her sharp business acumen, Quijano also serves as an honorary board member of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Foundation of Thailand, a board member of the CHILD Foundation in the Philippines and board member of the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund.
This company humbly presents the fact that more than 1,200 nominations were submitted to the International Stevie Awards for Women in Business this year, and such recognition of a Filipino industry leader can't prove enough Nu Skin's genuine dedication and commitment to its core values. Many people remain skeptic about this company despite the facts, but one can just wonder why. Research is key. Credibility is key. Facts change the rules of the game. So here is the research. Here is the credibility. Think and see for yourself.

The Business of Nu Skin is to sort; not always to sell
Nu Skin and people at the 15th floor Octagon Bldg contacts you under the process of Sorting, not Selling.
Nu Skin's business is much more a sorting process, than it is a selling business. It is this fundamental difference in philosophy that separates me from the multitudes of sales trainers, marketing “gurus” and book authors out there. I take no perverse pride in selling ice cubes to the Eskimos. I am not here to prove my manhood by demonstrating I can manipulate or trick a guy into buying something he doesn’t want, or can’t afford. There’s no integrity in that.
There is no greater way, however, in their business practice and best interests in presenting their marketing message in the best, most effective manner possible — to qualified prospects. Like any other company or business, you would want to outsell, outmaneuver and out market competitors, but you want to do it by offering a better value. Then you want to market that kind of value better than anyone else out there. And that’s what Nu Skin and these people want for you.

Why Do they Call You?
The Answer in plain view, and the fact behind the assumptions when somebody from 15th floor Octagon bldg calls you in the middle of the day. They say they are seeking business partners, a few motivated and entrepreneurial people with open minds who are serious about achieving an income and lifestyle that most people only dream about. Actually, it's not a lie. Believe it or not, that is the plain truth behind it.
There are no requirements for a specific business, nor a sales background is needed. The company, Nu Skin Philippines, has developed new systems and technology that enable focused men and women, not just sales people to enjoy the benefits of entrepreneurship while avoiding the downside risks.
Take time to investigate, find out why these men and women bother to talk to you, instead of ranting about it. Find out how you can affiliate yourself with an elite group of professionals with a proven plan of action. Find out if you qualify: that's the only key principle behind these "invites" and calls from people at the 15th floor Octagon bldg.

Nu Skin Southeast Asia’s "Star Potential" Regional Convention and new product launch
More info about this company? No other Direct Selling company in the Philippines celebrates and holds conventions and success seminars like these in the same prestige. Just recently they held the Southeast Asia "Star Potential" Regional Convention. This month, more than 6,000 leaders, distributors and guests gathered to celebrate the success of Nu Skin Stars and the launch of their new anti-aging technology— ageLOC™. They also recognized 47 new Blue Diamond Executives and 9 new 1 Million Dollar Circle Members and one of them is from the Philippines.

New product lines such as ageLOC™ Galvanic Spa® and ageLOC™ Transformation Set were highlighted throughout the event. Many stood in line to try the products and buy them.
Nu Skin Southeast Asia is not just the fastest growing region in the Nu Skin world, and they also had the most outstanding group of Distributors gathered as they displayed the "ONE NU SKIN" Spirit in this event. Also through the generosity of their charity arm, the Force for Good Foundation, they were able to raise more than S$217,000 during the event which will help save one child per day and more. Nu Skin's most ambitious goal has yet to become the world's leading direct selling company by generating more income for our distributors than any other company.

Nu Skin's Marketing Process
Well it happened again today. Someone called you and what does she ask me? If you want to join her MLM program. And can you give her the names and phone numbers of my friends, family and employees who could buy her products?
And you have to wonder...will these people ever learn?
And it’s always the same. The “Business” they want me to evaluate, means to sign up as a distributor on their front level.
The people who make huge success a month deceiving in Network Marketing on a consistent basis, never do such silly stuff. They never use dishonest or duplicitous means to reach people. They don’t spam people over the Internet and they’re not cold calling on a business opportunity list. They don’t alienate everyone they know, and they aren’t chasing “skinny rabbits.” They are talking to qualified prospects, and getting quality appointments to make quality presentations.
Let’s take a look at the marketing process — something I think a lot more people should think about. Here’s why...

Open the Mind to the Truth
You are now seeing this blog, for one big reason: because you want to know the truth about what's been the subject of all the hearsays about 15th floor Octagon Bldg, and because you’re searching for more facts about the subject. Viewing the archives of this blog site, you will notice numerous posts about what is it that people seem to talk confused about what’s in this office, in 15th Floor Octagon Bldg in Pasig City, and 26th Floor Trafalgar Plaza in Makati. Redundantly and as to re-affirm, that company is Nu Skin and concurrently Pharmanex Philippines. For more than 25 years, Nu Skin has been developing products and resources in hopes for a better and promising future for millions around the world. Established in 1984 in the United States with a promise and commitment of producing and distributing skin care and health products made only from highly researched and rare ingredients.
Long before society has embraced antihistamines and antioxidants, Nu Skin has already been dedicating itself into developing breakthroughs’ in premium and truly healthy skin care products. And through two (2) of its product lines, Nu Skin contributes greatly to both humanitarian and individual entrepreneurship efforts: Through the Nu Skin Scientific Advisory Board — innovators in the fields of dermatology, ethnobotany, and nutritional and cosmetic sciences — they develop products that benefit from some of the most advanced ingredient technologies available today; And through its Force for Good Foundation, they have brought countless humanitarian and non-profit feeding to millions of malnourished children globally.

15th Floor Octagon Building - the real ethics practiced by the company
What's in 15th Floor Octagon Bldg is Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines office and is already in the 12th year in the industry. 12 years for a multinational company is a pretty hard record to beat for something to be labeled as a “scam”, particularly here in the Philippines. Nu Skin Philippines is operating at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg, in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. A subject of negative allegations and false speculations, Nu Skin Philippines actually carry 12 years worth of success in the following principle they practice. One of the principal ways that Nu Skin demonstrates its difference is through high-caliber people. This includes the global network of nearly 800,000 active distributors. The corporate office encourages their distributors to not only strive for continued growth in their business pursuits, but also in every aspect of their lives. When they say “encourage distributors”, it means to constantly look for ways to grow and develop, they become the kind of leaders who can overcome hurdles, inspire others and enjoy success.
That’s why, from the moment Nu Skin started, the central mission has been to improve people’s lives. Everything they do—from scientifically substantiated products to unique corporate culture and dynamic business opportunity—is meant to empower people to improve life for themselves and those around them. This focus on personal development has always been, and will always be, vital to their growth as a company. Simply implying, that the corporate is responsible for their distributors and that they would not risk such position in the industry in trade for deceit and scam.

Nu Skin's Sincere Beginnings
From its founding 25 years ago, Nu Skin Enterprises’ mission has been to improve people’s lives—through quality products, rewarding business opportunities, and an uplifting and enriching culture. In their non-profit Force For Good Foundation alone, Nu Skin has demonstrated how they were able to achieve this mission of improving lives in a global scale. Twenty five (25) years of hard and credible work didn’t take over night, and they’ve started from humble beginnings:
In a 1993 convention speech, Blake Roney, chairman and co-founder of Nu Skin Enterprises, used the phrase “force for good” as he shared his vision of how he wanted the company, its distributors, and employees to be known around the world. This phrase articulated the company’s values and has become the central theme of the company’s overall mission and philanthropic efforts. The original“force for good” campaign was introduced in conjunction with the Nu Skin Epoch® product line in 1996. This unique brand of skin and hair care products was developed in partnership with the world’s leading ethnobotanists—scientists who study the relationship between plants and indigenous cultures. A donation of 25 cents from the sale of each Epoch product is directed to preserve the environments, languages, lifestyles, and traditions of indigenous people around the world.
Not long after, Nu Skin Enterprises saw the need to formalize its philanthropic endeavors by creating an official foundation. The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation was chartered to emphasize support for children, and continued to be funded from Nu Skin Epoch product donations. The Foundation is committed to making a difference for thousands, if not millions, of children for generations to come.
For the last 25 years, I believe Nu Skin proved their credibility to the world time and again, and I see no point why Filipinos would doubt them simply because of misinformation, often times, misunderstanding and misjudgment. Many are quick to be cynical by reading negative qualms, but how many truly looked the other way? By openly looking for the real facts, that Nu Skin is a legitimate and credible business for the past 25 years.

Nu Skin continues its humanitarian efforts
Last September 28, 2009 when Metro Manila and the rest of the country got hit with "Ondoy", Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines initiated a donation drive from staff and distributors to help the victims. Through many people's generosity, they were able to gather close to P200,000.00 of monetary donations and was matched by the company. It also includes donations of clothes, canned goods, noodles and biscuits and assorted shoes, slippers, towels and bags.
And where did all these "Ondoy" Relief goods went?
TUMANA, MARIKINA - An area in Marikina that was drenched with mud and water caused by "Ondoy". Last October 2, Nu Skin staff delivered and handed over the goods to its 75 families. Victims expressed their deepest appreciation with a smile. No scammer has actually made a contribution this serious to society, hasn’t it? We do not need to be actual geniuses to know the difference.
What sets Nu Skin apart?
Nu Skin (or Nu Skin Philippines for this matter) is simply a vehicle for one to achieve two essential Freedoms: Time & Financial. The kind of freedom that is available to everybody, but somehow restricted to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Nu Skin offers one the chance, an opportunity, to make a person's life better. As employment is another vehicle, so is business. So why should Nu Skin's practice of business be any different? because in this ever changing world, traditional business may not always be quite palatable. Traditional businesses would require 100% of one’s own effort whilst Nu Skin offers the opportunity to cope with the fast changing world and still take advantage of the world’s readily available market. Saturation would always be a looming discouragement in thought, but it is only applicable to those who believe that the world is flat, or at least to those who are skeptic to themselves, the company, the products or in the idea of innovation.
Nu Skin, operating locally in the Philippines at 15th Floor Octagon Bldg, Pasig, is far from a scam others have been throwing at. A company of this kind can’t go wrong in 48 markets.

Nu Skin implements 21 years old and above sign-up for its new members
Many say that Nu Skin accepts or sanctions members and distributors that are still in their teens. Truth is, company implements a strict 21 years old and above signing up. The independent Distributors are at the front-end of the business nature of Nu Skin and corporate management maintains a protocol that sees to it that its policies and procedures are professionally executed at all times. Sure, anybody and everybody can be an independent distributor of the company if they wished to, provided they present legal and valid requirements. These are rules by Nu Skin to make explicitly sure that new distributors do the business legitimately and professionally. They are trained to handle it as their personal businesses and to never elude to a scam-like manner. Company policies and procedures are strictly applied like any other companies and corporations worldwide, and above all they practice moral codes of both (personal and business) ethics that the company compulsory teaches each of their new Distributors if they are to be made the sales arms of the company. They are deliberately trained not to deceive both customers and prospective business partners, otherwise, the company will risk its credibility it has been maintaining.
Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr. Octagon Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly harboring under aged, teenagers, to do their business. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the network marketing business. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.
Nu Skin’s corporate management, trains and guides their distributors to do business the right and legitimate way. And they may be responsible for what their sales arm reflects upon them, but it is not fair enough to lay down verdict negatively towards it as a whole. That is my opinion, from what I have seen, experienced, and have personally done.

Nu Skin and Skin care - what do they really do and say
Curious for facts about what kind of company does really operate at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg or 26th Floor Trafalgar Plaza, that calls you or people you know and leaves you puzzled on what exactly do they do? It's Nu Skin Philippines. And Nu Skin means NUTRITION for the SKIN, simply. It started as a personal care company, and not as a cosmetic company. Basically, it is in the skincare business and they always make it a point that everybody is knowledgeable about their products. And by skin care, Nu Skin Philippines stresses the following ethics for both its customers and distributors. Understand that Nu Skin promotes not just beautiful skin but also long-term healthy skin. It is not intended to be a “quick fix” regimen. When people switch brands, reactions may be natural. A reaction is simply an initial response to beneficial ingredients; just as a meat eater would react to veggies in the beginning. For people who have used oil-based products that clog the pores, this may be a detoxification period to rid the skin of toxins and deep-seated dirt. Now, these are just quick tips on how the company involves itself in the skin care industry.
Some facts on how their distributors address skin issues for their customers before recommending or selling their products:
People who do the Nu Skin business, the distributors, are not dermatologists, and people with extreme conditions are always encouraged to consult physicians as they are not medicinal - only nutritional. They always ask for history of usage of other brands of skin care. People who have been using products containing hydroquinone, antibiotics and steroids should rest their skin for 3-4 weeks before they can use any Nu Skin product for their face.
They never fail to ask if they had recently undergone dermabrasion or other skin peeling treatments (these treatments drastically lower the skin’s natural immunity and will make the skin super-sensitive). They always identify the skin type of their clients since not all products are suitable to all skin types. Nu Skin products are highly concentrated with no fillers, therefore, a small amount is all you need for the entire face (pea size). Too much may be too rich in a humid environment.
This is how detailed and meticulous they are in managing their brands, products, and credibility. Many people misunderstand the Nu Skin business as either a scam or a bogus skin care line of products. But always, by facts and real client / customer testimonials, are proven otherwise.

In the Media - Nu Skin's Christmas for the Kids at the Philippine General Hospital
People seem to attack the business that goes on at the 15th Floor Octagon Building, the office which actually houses Nu Skin Philippines, under the premise and snowballing of negative blogs and rants that shady people operate in the said office and company. Amidst negative speculations and allegations, I present now a fact that people in this company mean serious business and that it gives more than just their business and products, but goodwill.
Last December 4, 2009, Nu Skin shared Christmas with patients of the Pediatric Cardiology Unit of the Philippine General Hospital, thru their Force for Good Foundation and partnership with CHILD Foundation - featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer (December 16 2009 releaseNot only does this present clear and valid facts, it also validates the company's genuine effort to help others and share their blessings. It also proves how the company is misunderstood gravely be few skeptics who are out there to fast claim allegations before digging in more for facts and making an informed opinion.

15th Floor Octagon Building is a Network Marketing Company and there's nothing wrong about it.
It is Nu Skin Philippines that operates at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg, that's the fact. And it is an MLM / Network Marketing Company.
SO WHAT IS EXACTLY AN MLM / NETWORK MARKETING?
Network marketing can be described in a number of ways. Some describe it as:
- "A multibillion-dollar industry"
- "An efficient method of distributing a product or service to the end consumer"
- "An opportunity to share a great product/opportunity with others"
WHY DO MOST PEOPLE FAIL AT NETWORK MARKETING & WHY THE NEGATIVE IMPRESSION?
There are a number of reasons people do not see the industry clearly:
- They do not have clear, written goals
- They don't give it an adequate amount of time and give up too soon
- They don't believe in their product/opportunity
- They want to make the big bucks with no or little effort
- They are unwilling to take risks
- They plan to fail, not to succeed
- They are unorganized
- They can't be easily reached
- They don't set aside adequate time
- They only look for money, (sometimes “get rich quickly” attitude)
NOW,
You can clearly avoid the traps above and sticking to the following tips:
- Establish clear goals
- Do away with the negatives
- Take responsibility for yourself
- Take advantage of all the services available to you

- Is there a demand for the company's products?
- Are the company's products priced fairly and of high quality?

GOOGLE IT AND RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF. LOOK FOR FACTS AND DECIDE CLEARLY BEFORE MAKING ANY JUDGMENT
Real People and Service behind 15th Floor Octagon Bldg
Admittedly, people do get ‘wrongly invited’ and/or “persuaded” by those working in at 15th flr. Octagon Bldg in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, that almost likely seems to generate negative perception towards not only to those who experience such unfortunate undertakings, but eventually to the company itself which is Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines, Inc. The company, in fairness but not in its biased defense, never did deny the fact that they are a network marketing/direct selling company, nor did they ever solicit illegal ways and scams to communicate and treat their clients, customers, business partners, in ways that would deliberately discredit their more than 2 decades-long global operations. I know for a fact, because I have seen it, and have been part of it personally. My credibility as an individual may be vague by stating these things, but I would declare that my words on such matters are more than opinions, rather, a better judgment on a subject I personally see as a quite fair enough assessment based on not only factual information readily available, but also by the personal involvement I have experienced.
The independent Distributors are at the front-end of the business nature of Nu Skin, but rest assured, corporate management maintains protocols that sees to it that its policies and procedures are professionally executed at all times. Sure, anybody and everybody can be an independent distributor of the company if they wish to (providing legal and valid requirements), but trainings for its new distributors are conducted by the company itself or by international Nu Skin business leaders. These trainings are conducted for by Nu Skin to make explicitly sure that new distributors do the business legitimately and professionally. They are trained to handle it as their personal businesses and to never elude to a scam-like manner. Company policies and procedures are strictly applied like any other companies and corporations worldwide, and above all they practice moral codes of both (personal and business) ethics that the company compulsory teaches each of their new Distributors if they are to be made the sales arms of the company. They are deliberately trained not to deceive both customers and prospective business partners, otherwise, the company would be risking its credibility it has been maintaining (specially in a level of moral high ground). Not only does corporate involvement end after training its new distributors, but Account Managers are positioned closely and constantly to assist, monitor, and support active distributors. Not only do they provide support in the technical aspects of the business procedures, but they see to it that the business is done the right way and maintain professionalism in the field. Corporate Support is not limited to its distributors but also extends to customers’ needs and immediate concerns. And all these are done through a systematic standard operating procedure that is readily available virtually 24/7 and within the maximum use of current available technology.
Now this may all sound a hard sell and obvious defense of the company’s practices, but as I have stated, I am making such judgments because I have personally witnessed it. Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr Octagon Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly soliciting unprofessional ways of ‘inviting’ and scamming random people. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the MLM business. It is undeniable though, that other “ fly- by- night” companies do practice deceit and scam in exchange for short term sales, but Nu Skin and the caliber of business practice and products they have is definitely not part of it. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.
The sad matter is that, we are having these kinds of arguments, because of the people who did not give the chance to look at the business personally, and that some distributors’ unfortunate lapses in doing the business. But if one would be able to see it for themselves, at 15th flr. Octagon Bldg, Nu Skin’s head office and their primary Walk-in centers, people are greeted warmly there. The staffs are friendly, professional, and ready to assist and serve. They are real people, much like you and me, and it is always unfortunate that misunderstandings lead to negative judgments.
